Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now). I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Everyone should have these on-hand for a stubborn zit when you really need them." —Caitlyn

Promising review: "Last year I moved to a new town and saw a new dermatologist who recommended CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for my dry skin and eczema. I can't tell you how many products doctors have recommended in the past that turned out to be just okay — so naturally, I took this advice with a giant grain of salt. But being the hopeful soul I am, I still gave it a shot. AND I'M SO GLAD I DID. First of all, you can use it all over, including on your face, which is very convenient. Second, it absorbs completely without leaving you feel either ~dry~ or gross and greasy. It's got some skin-strengthening ingredients and some fancy technology for releasing moisture all day (I read the jar...ha). But from experience, I can say that, yes, it does leave your skin perfectly soft and really does last all day. And for sensitive folks, it's also one of those free-of-everything creams. Can't recommend it enough." —Sarah MacMillan

Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this was a gimmick or not. Turns out it works really well. I have four metal thermos-like containers that are used to keep tea warm every day. Over time, the tea stained the insides and was very difficult to remove. I added one of these tablets to the container, filled it with hot water, and let it sit for a few hours. When I came back to rinse it out, I was literally amazed at how clean it was. I think it looked cleaner than when it was new. I called my wife over to show her, and she was equally impressed. Awesome product!" —Robert A Moreno II

"Me and bug bites do not mix well – I usually have a nasty reaction and can swell up pretty instantly. To avoid some larger, super itchy bites, I tried this little gadget and let me tell you...it sure does work. When I noticed a bite and the beginnings of that irritating, itchy feeling, I immediately applied the suction tool. Without fail, it stopped the swelling and reduced the bump over the new few hours. Yes it can leave a red ring on your skin, but that usually fades quickly *and* I never experienced bruising." —Alexandra Nepoli
Promising review: "I cannot stress how much better this simple little tool has made my quality of life during summer. I have horrific allergic reactions to mosquito bites. We're talking bumps swelling to the width of softballs within minutes of the bite. This tool doesn't make those bumps go away, but it stops the itch IMMEDIATELY. I was a huge skeptic; how could a little suction cure this agonizingly itchy allergic reaction? It provides instant relief that no pill, cream, or injection ever has ever achieved for me. If you live anywhere where insect bites are common, you need to own one of these!" —Customer

Promising review: "I have one word! AMAZING! I love this machine, it is awesome! I have used it two or three times at this point and it has been amazing, there’s no smell from my 'herbs' and it does great infusing for the most 'flavor!' 10/10 if you’re debating with yourself just do it!

I was really seeing great improvements, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day.

Promising review: "I bought these blades to try at home dermaplaning. I was nervous at first, but it’s almost impossible to cut yourself with these and it took the peach fuzz right off my face. In fact, as I was staring at my face in a magnifying mirror and removing the fuzz, I noticed my nose hair was a little out of control. I even used one of these in my nose (that’s right) and it worked great! I will be keeping a few of these on-hand at all times." —TKB

My acne-prone skin loves this stuff. I ruined my moisture barrier with a bunch of harsh acne products. So I incorporated this into my routine to hydrate and control my breakouts. This product was made for all skin types. It is alcohol-free, silicone-free, vegan, and gluten-free.
Promising review: "I’ve had very bad acne for almost five years now and I’ve spent thousands of dollars on products and medication trying to cure it. Nothing worked, not even the most expensive products. The only thing that I've noticed is a significant change to the point where my scars are almost fully cleared. It's this product and it's the least expensive product I’ve purchased. I definitely recommend buying this!" —tkk17

I wish I would have discovered this product years ago! It smooths my hair out and truly lasts all day. Be careful, as a tiny bit goes a long way!" —RHoffsommer

Promising review: "This treadmill is exactly what I needed, a way to keep my step count up by walking during work calls and while reading and watching TV. I’ve always wanted a treadmill, but live in NYC and have never had space for one. This is great. I get it out in the morning and put it away at night under the bed. It’s heavy and not as easy to maneuver as I had hoped, but totally doable, and I am super grateful to be able to get so much exercise while multi-tasking. It’s relatively quiet. No worse than my AC unit when I am on calls, and I’m not a runner, so don’t mind that it can only go up to 5 miles per hour. I’m already thinking about getting a standing desk so I can walk on it while I am working at the computer as well." —Lindsay R.

This is the bidet I use and I 100% recommend to my friends, family, and to you, dear reader. Installation was pretty simple; from start to poop it took about 15 minutes. The sensation is...interesting...to say the least but you definitely get used to it. In fact, I recently moved apartments and it's taken me awhile to hook up the bidet (I'm a procrastinator, OK?!). Oh how I've missed my bidet during this time (and I'm sure my butt feels the same way). But seriously, I cannot stress how life-changing getting a bidet is. If my bidet ever goes kaput, I'm going to upgrade to the Tushy Spa, which has the added benefit of allowing you to select the temperature of your water.

Promising review: "I have no idea how these work, but they put anything stinky to rest. I purchased these and one in kitchen and the other in a “new” 13-year-old car we just bought. Within 24–48 hours all odors are gone and it just smells clean and fresh (reminds me of Dasani water?). Love the linen packages, makes this look less 'industrial' and blend in better. They come in a three-pack, one is saved and stored in a sealed plastic bag, for later use." —Ellen

Our Place is a POC-owned business based in Los Angeles. All of their boxes are packaged with biodegradable and recyclable materials, and the Always Pan is made in a female-owned factory in China.
"Lemme walk you through why this is the best gift for yourself or basically anyone who has ever lifted a spatula. This gorgeous 10-inch pan actually does the work of eight kitchen tools: fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. OK, OK, so yes, mostly it just does the job of A Regular Pan. But it has cool features! It has a spout on the side for easy pouring and releasing steam (simply spin the lid so the holes line up). The handle rests on the handle and fits neatly inside the pan, so no spoon rest is needed. It comes with a stainless steel steamer basket for easy steaming. It's just a nice, thoughtful pan in general that's worth the extra cash.
It's made with high-quality materials, and the attention to detail really shows in the finished product. Sometimes I just hold mine and sigh over how nice it is! Sorry if that's lame, but it is the truth. I am in love with my pan. The pan sports non-toxic, nonstick ceramic coating made without potentially toxic materials (lead, cadmium, nanoparticles, etc.). It has an aluminum body for a fast, even heat. It's large, but (relatively) lightweight, so I always find it's the first pan I grab. The accompanying spatula is made with beechwood that's gentle on the nonstick coating but durable. And the best part? It's sooo easy to clean! The pan comes with a wimpy-looking natural sponge but it actually works. Even burnt, caked-on food kinda just slides off this thing. Seriously, only one swipe of the sponge needed! The one thing I will say is that the coating does come off easily, so keep it away metal utensils, be gentle when cleaning, and definitely don't put it in the oven." —Bek O'Connell

Promising review: "I received this as a gift and it is a great gift! You aren't just buying a starter kit, you're buying great customer service. First off, I am a complete novice brewer and this gave me the confidence and instructions to confidently brew. It includes absolutely everything you need. However, during my first attempt, something went wrong and my batch molded. I was devastated but with the contact information to the Kombucha shop, they were able to answer my questions quickly and efficiently. To top it all off, they replaced my SCOBY, my tea, and the sugar for free so I could restart. I couldn't be happier!!" —Danielle Davis

I own a couple of these bags and really love them. I've stored veggies and other leftovers and have also used them for steaming. They're durable and easily washable, too.
Promising review: "These are great - I've used them for everything from holding snacks and small items while backpacking to storing frozen food and leftovers. I like that you can boil these, it makes it really easy to take veggies out of the freezer and cook them right in the bag. Easy to clean in the dishwasher + a bottle brush when needed." —Cassandra

Promising review: "This is the best setting spray I have tried. It feels like nothing on. It doesn't irritate my skin or leave a residue and it works very well. It's easy to dispense and it doesn't cause my mascara to run when I spray it on. The mist goes on evenly. It leaves a beautiful, natural finish. I an delighted and will certainly repurchase." —A. Black
Get it from Amazon for $12.25 (available as a pack of two).
If you're really worried about overheating, it also comes in a cooling version made out of Tencel.
"I have this in the cooling version (in the color "avocado") and let's just say I've used it quite a bit in recent times. The large knit style is super chic, and the organic cotton is breathable (and there's nothing in it to create the weight *other* than cotton, so no uncomfy glass beads). I *love* it, and it's actually extremely cute, looking like a regular old fancy blanket! It's heavy, but still I take it from bed to couch and back to bed all the time as I WFH. It doesn't overheat on the couch (thanks to the fabric and the "holes" in the large knit), but provides a pleasant weight as I watch TV or work. And when it's layered over my duvet, it keeps me extra cozy and warm." —Maitland Quitmeyer
Promising review: "I love this napper a little too much. I carry it up and down stairs all day as I move between the bed and couch for crafting, reading, etc. I like to grasp onto something when I sleep (usually the edge of the pillowcase), so the loops are awesome for tucking in my fingers and toes. Unlike another weighted blanket I own, the napper is stylish so I don't mind if it's out in the living room, and I can wash it, a huge deal given how often it's used. It's a bit of a pain to dry (it took three cycles in the dryer, so next time I am going to hand dry). The weight is very comforting, and I don't have an issue with overheating, even using it in the middle of summer in a muggy climate." —Madeline B.

Promising review: "Can't tell you the number of times I've been on my way to an event, meeting, party, etc., and realize my ring is cloudy from lotion — ack! I run to the bathroom to quickly clean it, it takes 30–60 seconds max, and my ring looks brand new again! I don't even take my ring off — just get it wet, twist the bottom to make the cleaner come out into the brush, scrub with the brush, and rinse with warm water. The cleaner foams up as you brush — it really feels like it's cleaning off the grime and oils. The brush is super soft and really gets into nooks and crannies, unlike the brushes that come in those jar cleaners that are always too bristly and thick for my dainty yellow gold jewelry." —honestreviewer

Promising review: "This product is AMAZING. We live in a studio apartment with a small kitchenette and our sink likes to spray everywhere. We are hooked up to grey water and do not have a garbage disposal. This product not only is fantastic at scrapping food off of our plates (so it doesn't go down the drain), it helps to squeegee the countertop when water has sprayed everywhere! I also take it into the bathroom and squeegee the countertop when I've made too big of a mess getting ready!" —Elizabeth

I have just ordered myself a second pair with the price on the purple ones being so good how could I not." —RIANNE88

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. With multiple cats and two dogs who have no boundaries in the house (couches, chairs and beds are free game), and more than a few with black fur, our furniture and carpets were constantly covered. This thing works wonders! Easy to use, does the job right, and cheap. What a bang for your buck. The fur comes right off, it's a miracle. I recently used it in our bedroom since we have light blue carpet. The vacuum wasn't sucking up the fur and the carpet looked dingy and dirty. I got down and went to town on the carpet with this thing and the difference is like night and day. Seriously, if you have pets, this is a must. Bought it in March, it's now October and it still works like a beast. You won't regret buying this." —dameow687

Promising review: "We bought one of these just to try them out. We live in Montana and the veggies just don't seem to last as long as they did when we lived in Arizona or Washington. I put some baby spinach in one of the containers and nine days later the spinach literally looks as good as the day I bought it. I bought a three-pack from Amazon and just threw a bunch of mixed berries in one and broccoli in another. I am extremely happy with my purchase." —pettyolives
