Promising review: "Due to prior experiences with Crest and Equate whitening strips I always deal with tooth sensitivity even after the first use so naturally I only use this pen every other day thinking I was going to deal with the same issue and surprisingly I don't. I actually really like the way it whitens my teeth and love the fact that I'm not dealing with any tooth sensitivity pains." —Claudia Garcia

Promising review: "I love these hair scrunches. They are very comfortable around your wrist and love the fact that I’m able to store money along with lipstick. It’s great when you're on the go, at a party, or even at school. The zipper is well made so is the hair tie." —YJORDAN

Promising review: "I only write reviews when I’m thoroughly satisfied with a product or really irritated. With this product, I’m very happy! I applied it this morning and by noon you could see the difference. The caulking around the tub is so white just like I just resealed it. I’ve tried other bleaching products like Kaboom and Clorox with less than similar outcomes. The biggest difference was the mold spots behind our shower products. Those have been an eyesore for so long and now they’re gone. My only regret is I didn’t do a 'before' and 'after' photo." —CButin

BluePoppyBath is a Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based Etsy shop that sells a wide range of personal care products handmade in small batches using simple, skin-safe ingredients.
Promising review: "These work so well! I was hesitant to try something that wasn’t an industrial level cleaner, but these work equally as well if not better. And it smells so much better too! They are individually packaged so they hold together well, fizz up like a lush bath bomb, and leave everything very clean. Absolutely would recommend." —Nina Salamie

Promising review: "This little device was surprisingly WONDERFUL! My hubby hesitated to put it on his 'precious' YETI cooler, but after putting it in, we both were astounded! We never thought about how much easier it would be on our tent camping trips to be able to easily see into the cooler after dark! This was a game changer for us! It works exactly as described. It comes on when opened and goes off when closed — just like your fridge!" —Suzyzzle

FYI, this is included in Prime Wardrobe so you can give it a trial run if you're a member! It's also 100% machine washable (just remember to take your earbuds out, first).
Promising review: "This may sound like hyperbole, but this thing is truly amazing. I tried getting back into running early this year, but trying to carry my phone and a key made it very problematic. Having them in your pocket is uncomfortable, those horrible armbands are just the absolute worst. Fanny packs are clunky and bounce around. This thing totally changed my life. (Again, sounds like hyperbole, but I swear it is not). I have since gotten so into running that I run about 20 miles per week and I've lost probably 40 to 50 pounds. It's so comfortable you forget it's there. One of the best purchases I've ever made."—Jack P. Lasley

Just pre-soak feet, apply the gel, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.
Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super dry thick calloused heels for only three minutes and the callouses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Key2Del

Promising review: "Surprised my husband with a gift card for a massage inside. I added some wrapping paper and shiny confetti around it, and it looked so beautiful and festive! Without the lid/carrier, it was a bit hard to store in the fridge and carry, so I ended up buying one which made things much much easier. Such a fun way to present a cake and a gift all at once! Was definitely a birthday highlight which I will be using again!" —Sivan Levine

Promising review: "This water container was a godsend to my trip to southern Utah. I filled it up in the hotel bathroom and put it in the back of the car. I filled hydration packs and water bottles, heated water from it on the stove for rehydrating camp meals, and many other uses for a family of four for three days in and around Canyonlands National Park. When finished with our trip I was able to fold it back up and pack it away for the airline back home." —P-Factor

Promising review: "Never thought there was a product out there to specifically clean the disposer. In the past, I would use a lot of soap/cleaners and water, but this works WAY better. You can literally hear a difference in your disposer after cleaning with this product." —CPG RZ Review

The kit includes eight Zombie Pack sets (powder and activator), plus one applicator brush!
Promising review: "When you put it on, the smell hits you hard. As it is on your face the smell is not too bad and the mask tingles as it dries. Wash it off and reveal clean, smooth skin. Plus fun to take pictures looking like a cracked mess." —raine

Promising review: "Amazing. I bought mine over a year ago and my cats LOVE them. I hung them up like shelves and the cats love to hang out on them, sleep, stretch, and survey the house. My friends don't even realize they're cat shelves until the cats jump on them! Fast-forward over a year later and they're still in pretty good shape. Worth the money! I picked up some L brackets at The Home Depot to hang them and they worked like a charm." —Jayni

This incognito cooler can hold up to (40) 12-ounce cans with ice.
Promising review: "Loved loved the table cooler. It’s just the right size; it’s great for cans, bottles, not too small not too big. Great size also for a side table look next to my wicker bench, and it’s easy to move around and clean. Great price for this product." —Efrain Sostre

Promising review: "Such a fun gift. Got this for my mom and she loved it. Not only was the candle fragrant and had lots of burn time, but the ring was gorgeous. Such a fun bonus. Paid as much as I would a B&BW candle but this one had a $25 ring in it that my mom loved. Definitely worth it and a great gift." —Jacob Fumerola
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in ring sizes 5–10 and in nine scents).
Promising review: "I’ve worn my engagement ring daily for just shy of five years. During that time, I’ve had it professionally cleaned when I get the prongs checked (annually) and I’ve used an ultrasonic cleaning device and a soft-bristle makeup brush with Dawn dish soap to clean my ring. None of those methods restored its original sparkle, but they helped. I figured that if even a professional cleaning couldn’t get rid of all the dust and grime in the setting around the stone, nothing really could. Enter the Diamond Dazzle stick. I spent about three minutes using this product on my ring the day my pen arrived, and I was stunned by the results. My ring sparkles like the day I received it. The brush allows you to get way under your stone and in the teeny tiny crevices around the setting that harbor dirt and dust, which mutes the light going into and coming out of your ring. I can’t believe how effective this little pen is." —Buffalo Mama

Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandaids and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these bandaids everyday for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth. Highly recommend!" —J

This book has become my new party trick. If anyone even dares look at this book sitting on my shelf, I seize the opportunity to show it off because there have been approximately ZERO humans who have not been delighted upon opening it to find detailed pop-up models of the Hogwarts castle, the Quidditch field, and more. Pro tip: just when the novelty is wearing off, hit them with this book's second magical feature. Not only does it function like a normal pop-up book, but it also opens flat to form a 3-D map of the Hogwarts grounds.

Huppy is an Asian-owned small biz creating plastic-free toothpaste tablets out of sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients. Everything is vegan, GMO- and cruelty-free. Best of all? Huppy donates 2% of revenue to fund sustainability initiatives!
As with every area of my life, I'm always looking for more eco-friendly alternatives to the things I use every day. Toothpaste was next. I was familiar with other brands making plastic-free tabs, but hadn't found one that felt adequately cost-efficient — until now! I love how zero-waste the process is with Huppy. You get a forever tin (pick from blue or blush) and then buy refills that come in compostable pouches. The whole chewing thing can be weird at first (my boyfriend found it aggressively minty, I just think they taste like Altoids) but both of us got used to it pretty quickly. With water, the tabs foam up pretty instantly, and after that, it's just a normal teeth-brushing experience. In fact, I'm actually finding that not dealing with drippy toothpaste and tiny screw-on caps is actually pretty delightful. A cleaner process both in and out of my mouth.

Promising review: "This was one of the better values, so I had my doubts but was pleasantly surprised. The towlette is soft, surprisingly strong, nicely sized and so very compact for carrying. We put some in our 'bug out' bag, wife's purse, glove compartment, etc. Sturdy enough to be reused. Great price. Each one individually wrapped and if you don't have a few drops of water, you can pick them open on your own while dry — but the water droplets make it easier. Each one about the size of two Life Savers stacked one on top of the other. Don't let your kids confuse them with candy!" —William F.

Promising review: "This stuff is bananas! I applied 2+ weeks ago and have had no chips. NO CHIPS! I chip everything and typically ruin my nails after three minutes of getting them done. But this color? THIS COLOR STAYS! It's beautiful and looking at them throughout the day gives me a new look based on the temp. It's awesome. I'm obsessed. Bought all the colors I could." —L.L.

Promising review: "I love this damn thing. I use the squeegee side daily on a sealed concrete floor to pick up dog hair. Works like a champ, and even does a great job on edges. So easy, the hubby voluntarily sweeps with it every day, sometimes twice. I also got him an EyeVac to instantly suck all the hair and dirt up without him having to go hunt a dustpan and chase the dustpan debris line across the floor." —PA Lady

I bought a collapsible coffee cup in college that was my pride and joy for years until it was recently lost. My mama got my boyfriend and me these for Christmas and it has been a wonderful replacement. It's not as top-heavy as my previous model, the mouth hole is more like the lids you're used to with disposable cups, and it's largely leak-proof. I bring this with me *everywhere* in case I stop to get a coffee, and though it doesn't insulate quite like a full thermos would, it takes up WAY less space and does keep things warmer for longer than a disposable cup. Plus, I've had more than a few baristas marvel at it's magic compressing powers.

Promising review: "I bought this for my boyfriend in January 2018 and he LOVED it. I'm also really bad with reviewing items...But I guess this works in everyone's favor because even though I bought it three years ago, it's still in perfect shape and he uses it almost daily. As long as you hand wash it, it holds up. Great product!!" —Gabrielle

Promising review: "I’m a 47-year-old woman and have had adult cystic acne for 12 years. Four months ago I got the worst cystic zit of my life. It kept closing up and then refilling. I was so depressed and researched these dots online. I paid for next day shipping and was amazed how great they work! These were able to drain the zit and keep it draining so it couldn’t close and refill and get big and angry. Get these! Seriously, they really are a GOD send!" —auntylizzy

Good Dye Young is a Tennesse-based brand co-founded by the one-and-only Paramore lead singer, Hayley Williams. They create hair coloring products for anyone and everyone that are vegan, cruelty-free, and work on a range of hair colors and textures.
I love colored hair, but I hate bleaching my hair AND have commitment issues— enter this "I'm Bored" serum. It truly could not be easier to apply, and worked as promised on my medium-brown hair. It lasted about two washes, but I only wash my hair every three to four days, so I had a solid week of purple-tinted hair. I was able to color pretty much my whole head with about half the bottle (I still have the other half for when I next feel bored). But the bottle is teeny tiny, so if you have a lot more hair than me (easy to do), I recommend using this product more as a way to add in streaks or temporarily dye your tips!
