How did I not know there were special trays to freeze soup?
Promising review: "This book is exactly what it says it is: a big activity book for anxious people! It’s got some great activities inside that totally keep me busy, keep my anxiety in check, and truly is a great time suck to keep my mind focused on the activities and an escape from whatever is consuming me those days. Cannot recommend this book enough!!!" —Alex R. Pepin

Promising review: "I have a 13-year-old small dog at home who occasionally would do accidents on the carpet. I applied the pad on a tough set-in stain area, followed the instructions — the stain spot cleared out quite well without any additional chemicals applied. I have attached a few pictures which are untouched to show the results. For tough stain like the area I tried, leaving the pad overnight definitely produces better results." —Gadgetman

Promising review: "My hair was processed and damaged, my husband would say that it feels like a straw bale. This little ampule changed my life. After one use, my hair was soft as silk, shiny, and manageable. It was completely unreal how this product transformed my hair and I knew I had to find more. I bought two boxes on Amazon and will continue to use this religiously. For something so inexpensive, it is a game-changer. I now have my friends on the Rescue train and they are just as impressed." —melissa michael

Promising review: "My lips have been so extremely chapped for the past few months from biting my lips constantly and from the harsh weather conditions. I would constantly moisturize my lips with whatever I had (lip balms, Vaseline, you name it) and NOTHING was working, so I knew that it was time to start looking into lip scrubs. I have to say that my lips haven't felt so soft like this in so long. On the container, it says to use a pea-size amount, and that really is all you need. A little really goes a long way. If you are someone who doesn't want (or doesn't have the resources) to make a homemade scrub then — coming from a current college student who definitely doesn't have the resources or time to make their own — get this and it will be worth it!!" —Shaneil

Promising review: "Great cheese product for ketogenic diets. This is the only cheddar cheese powder on the market that is pure cheddar cheese with no starchy carbohydrate fillers. I like to use it on pork rinds to get a keto Cheetos type snack which I call Keetos. A little bit of the powder goes a long way." —Randy
Get a one-pound bag from Amazon for $11.95.
Promising review: "This bag is a necessity for a trip to Europe! The material is really nice it looks and feels great, and it held up really well for my trip! I kept my passport in the inside zip compartment of the main pocket, important items in the main compartment, water in one outside side pocket, and anti-bacterial wipes in the other. The best part is that the backpack becomes a shoulder bag, needed for when tourist attractions don’t allow a bag on your back (Buckingham Palace). Also one day I had to walk a bit in the rain and my contents stayed dry! I felt very safe and secure with my items in this bag! I want every color!" —JESSICA MARO

Promising review: "This is such a nice body brush. I wasn't expecting the quality to be nearly as great as it is, but it really is excellent quality! I used this (dry) on my dry legs and feet, and it took off so much of the dead skin. It left me with extremely soft skin. I also used it in the shower and it exfoliated my skin so nicely. I would definitely recommend this brush or anybody looking for a nice body brush to exfoliate their skin with." —knjaw

Promising review: "I really like this planner. I have been saying I’m going to get my life together and get out of debt. So in order to do that I need to keep track of my budget. I started looking for planners. How can I say I want to budget my money and then turn around and spend $30, $40, $50 on a planner? Then I need to get the stickers and the gel pens and...you get my drift. So when I saw this and that it was less than $10!!! Boy was I surprised 😮. It’s super big, it has enough space for me to write. The lines are separated very well. It has my budget for the month, then a page for weekly activity. I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s thick, not thin — it’s sturdy. It’s pretty And folks let me tell you, order this and save yourself some money!" —Nia

So technically, I don't need to be saying "why don't I own this?" when it comes to this mask. Because I already do and it has changed my life. Which I know sounds so dramatic but it's true. It has a very creamy and cooling consistency which I apply with a face mask brush (but it comes with a small applicator), I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then remove with a face sponge soaked in warm water. The difference in my skin — my sensitive, acne-prone skin — is astonishing after just one use. My pores shrunk down so much! I went from having what looked like a strawberry for a nose to just a regular, smooth nose! I haven't shut up about it since I started using it. Now I apply it every three days, it's honestly my new religion. I wish it came in a bigger jar so I could cover my entire body in it. I'm not even joking. I love it so hard. I will never stop using this mask. NEVER.
Promising review: "This product goes on nicely with the little application paddle that comes included. Kept it on for about 10 minutes and washed off with warm water. I was very impressed with how smooth my face felt afterward. My pores seemed to be much smaller and I was really impressed with the results. Great product!" —Dazza

Promising review: "I have fine hair, everything slides right out. I wanted to keep a half bun up and these do the job amazingly. I wore one all day and it was only a little looser by the end of the day. Two together never moved. I have blonde hair and the brown pins hide well. They have rounded nub tips so they don't poke or get stuck in my hair. Why aren't these available at stores??? I've never seen these in my life before finding them here. Who is choosing the stuff that goes into the hair section of the big box stores? I've needed these since I was a little kid." —Pollyessster

Promising review: "It’s pretty hard for me to find round glasses that fit my larger face without making me look like I’m part of the Three Blind Mice, but these are perfect! I think these would work really well with smaller faces too. They're a great pair of everyday glasses. The case is super sturdy and zips as well. It comes with a cloth to clean the lens. A lot of more expensive brands have flimsy cases. The polarization is great because it doesn’t distort color and reduces glare making it easier on your eyes, but iPhones also have this so together, it’ll make your screen look pretty weird. Besides that, amazing glasses." —Ange

Promising review: "I will never switch!!! This is by far the best mascara I’ve purchased in a long time. I used to only purchase high-end mascaras, sometimes drugstore mascaras. This is great for glam makeup, everyday makeup, and no makeup days. You will not be disappointed. I have four backups!! It’s mainly for length and extremely black. You just need one coat to see the amazing results." —KalahJ

Promising review: "We all respect internet privacy. But what happens if you die? Simple issues like your Netflix account become huge stumbling blocks to your survivors. Keep a record of your passwords. Maybe you're young and don't think about ever passing away? Need to get on Facebook after two years silence, pay your cable bill, bank checking account password...last year's Turbo Tax, etc. Who can remember all those passwords? Yeah, I wrote it on that back of that envelope..."Honey, where's that envelope?" STOP!!! THIS is where you will record your user names and passwords. Do yourself and loved ones a big favor and purchase this book." —David D.

Promising review: "I have been having really bad acne lately to the point it wouldn't go away. This was really messing with my emotions, anything I tried wasn't working. Then I found this and decided to give it a go. The serums are nice, not greasy. (I have oily skin so I'm careful about what I use.) I left two pictures to show the difference between a couple of weeks. I have a little bit of scarring already so I'm hoping this goes away with time and patience. I also figured I'd mention I bought this with my own money." —FishyBrittyKitty

Promising review: "I love these new Amazon Essentials sweaters. I bought five of them (two solid and three with stripes) so I have one to wear to work each day. They are light so I don't get too hot but warm enough when the AC is on full blast at work. The stripes match at the seams, which I like. I wear a 20ish in tops and the XXL is great. They fit over my big hips nicely." —Jen Park

Promising review: "I have 3A/3B curls (I included a pic.) I watched A LOT of reviews on YouTube for this product before I committed to buying it because that's always smart to do when you don't want to waste money. But OMG my results came out better than all the reviews I saw with the girls that had similar hair to mine! The trick is to keep rolling it a few times before you let the strand go. Just like the stylists do when they blow-dry your hair at salons with the large rolling brush. I was able to straighten my hair in 45 minutes on my first time and I could probably do it in less time next time because now I know how to use it. I was worried about my roots not getting straightened like in some of the reviews I saw but nope my roots came out perfect! The trick to that is to hold it at the roots for a few seconds. After a strand is straight and completely dry I'll switch it to cool and pass it through another time. If you want your ends straight and not flipped you'll need a flat iron but I prefer them flipped anyways. Be careful not to burn your hands by accidentally touching the blower. Also, your wrist/hands will get tired but it's still worth it! LOL! Oh, I've also somehow managed to turn the switch accidentally a few times while using it. My hair is amazingly soft and super shiny. The biggest pro for me is that it'll only take me 10 minutes to freshen my hair every day after that first day! Best styling product ever!" —BIANCA

Promising review: "I purchased this to make cold brew coffee at the office. My coworkers and I were going to the local Siren at least three to four times a week for our afternoon pick me up. It was starting to become a serious drain financially. We all chipped in to get this pitcher and take turns buying beans. Get them ground for a French press, or super coarse, and you'll have a pretty good replica. The instructions for making cold brew are pretty easy. Of course, you'll get some micro grinds that will make their way through the filter but that's to be expected. If you're OCD about it, you could pour it through a strainer or paper filter. Or just let it settle and pour gently. We've seriously cut down our caffeine expenditures by 50-75%. Now if we could figure out a way to order out less. :)" —DT

Promising review: "Love love love! I trick everyone into thinking I can afford high-end hats, nobody could tell this was an Amazon find. The hat fits me great, there is a thin string on the inside to make it 'adjustable' but I noticed that the string didn't really do anything. I love the color, it stays put, super trendy, and I'm probably going back for all the colors on my next paycheck." —Kori Peterson

Promising review: "Overall great pens for a great price! They’re lightweight, feel nice, and the ink comes out smooth. So far, the ink hasn’t spread or smeared when I touch around it or erase underlining pencil marks. The only color that seems to bleed is black but just be careful and don’t have a heavy hand." —_simplyb21

Promising review: "I didn’t know I could love a sleep mask so much! I’ve used several over the years, but this one takes the cake. I don’t wake up until mid-morning when the sun is incredibly bright (and my bedroom has a lot of windows). This sleep mask is not only soft and comfortable, but it also blocks the light SO well! On the nose part, you can push it down along the sides of your nose, to make sure no light gets in. It is really efficient and feels so nice on my skin. Bonus: it comes with a little fabric holder where you can fold the mask, and fit it right inside! I flew last week, and it was so nice not to worry about the mask getting dirty. I can not recommend this sleep mask enough! If you aren’t convinced yet, GET IT. You won’t be disappointed." —Lyndsay Marvin

Promising review: "I love 💕 this product!! No more Q-Tips or cotton rounds and, perhaps most importantly, embarrassing lipstick on my teeth! Simply apply lipstick, insert Lipstuk, and all the excess 💄 is removed!! Easy to use, especially on the go!! The applicator tip is also AMAZING for spreading, blending, and precision shaping!! Best part...its longevity!! For a germaphobic person, such as myself, the ability to throw my Lipstuk in the dishwasher to clean/sanitize is a dream come true!! I can’t say enough positive about this fantastic little game changer! I have bought several now for my clients and friends and they all LOVE it too!! 💋SWAK!" —Tori

It's a good size for the corner of my monitor and the wide-angle gives me a perfect view of what's going on behind me in all directions. Maybe not it's intended use but it's good for what I need it for." —Merrin

Everyone in the house likes knowing what's for dinner and I love that it has a built-in shopping list. It makes the week so much less stressful when I have planned out every meal and have all of the ingredients to make it. Looks exactly like the pic, looks cute hanging on the fridge, very happy with this purchase!" —Steve

Promising review: "I cannot explain how good this feels when you're using it! It relaxes you and for sure is better than just using your fingertips to shampoo your hair. It actually goes down to the roots and makes sure that it gets into all the spots it can to clean your hair. I can tell you right now that my hair has never felt smoother than after I started using this product. I would definitely recommend this!" —Romie Patel

Promising review: "I love this scent and it is gentle — so no breakouts for me. I use some when I get out the shower for an extra clean, fresh smell that lasts throughout the day. I place it on my arms and neck. Btw, it does not taste very good at all so after applying, please your wash hands before eating a sandwich." —ItsTrixie2You

Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf — I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product!" —Laura H.

Promising review: "It totally works! The spray smells amazing and cuts my drying time in half. I was actually shocked by how quickly my hair dried. I have long, thick, color-treated, and naturally wavy hair. It usually takes me 20 minutes to blow dry with a flat and large round brush and my Drybar blow dryer. Using this primer I was done in 10 minutes flat. For the price, I’d highly recommend giving it a try. Totally worth it!" —EllieDox

Promising review: "I'm a little embarrassed to write this review; it's been ~six years since my last oven cleaning. But after seeing the results, I couldn't help but spread the word. Sure, it took some beer, a little John Mayer, and a lot of elbow grease, but I got the job done, thanks to this handy little product.
It did require two treatments; however, given the circumstances, this product accomplished quite a feat in just an hour. The attached pictures speak for themselves." —William Fredericks
