"Let me tell you, Yorick, I've had a DAY."
Promising review: "This is a brilliant candle! It smells amazing and is well-packaged, too!" —Harrison Rowe
Get it from Ember Candle Co on Etsy for $13.56 (available in 41 scents and 10 colors).
It's also great for hands-free calls! It's compatible with smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, Echo devices, smart TVs, and car audio systems with a 3.5MM AUX port.
Promising review: "I added this to my auxiliary port in my 2013 truck that is technology challenged. The vehicle lacks many modern amenities found in most vehicles of its day, Bluetooth being one of them. Plus the headphone jack on my device started having issues with connectivity so I needed an alternative solution. That’s where this thing comes in. It readily reconnects upon startup, has good battery life, produces good sound quality, and the hands-free calling function is just a bonus in my case." —Mr. Analytical

It can style dry *and* wet hair, has ~ionic technology~ to tame frizz and promote shine, and has nylon- and ball-tipped bristles to gently detangle while creating volume. Plus! It has two heat settings and a cool setting for better control.
Promising review: "I am no professional hair stylist, nor do I have time to do my hair everyday (mommy of two) but I must say this blow-dryer curling brush makes getting ready so much easier. I like my hair to have a lot of volume (I have thin hair) and my layers to show so this look is easy to achieve. I just sectioned my hair in small pieces, used this tool from my roots to the tip, then from the tip curled up (inwards) and rolled the brush around and out to keep the curl. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a nice easy blowout!" —L

Promising review: "If you like waffles, but don't want to eat gigantic ones and/or don't have a ton of counter space to spare for a full size waffle maker, this little thing is well worth the price. Another benefit of this smaller size is that you can use the waffles from this little machine to make sandwiches, for those who like breakfast on-the-go, not to mention a sweet and savory treat in the morning. We have actually been surprised by how much we use this item considering other waffle makers we've purchased all end up collecting dust in the back of a cupboard. This really is a waffle maker that you'll use more than once; in fact, diehard waffle fans will probably use it every day." —Memory Lane
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I cut off about 1/3 of this bar and brought it on a two-month Europe trip for hand-washing in the sink. I was initially hesitant to spend that much money on a bar, but am so glad I did! The bar works fantastically for general laundering and as a stain remover. It quickly and easily removed dirt, sweat, and old makeup stains on a hat that I thought I was going to need to repeatedly scrub. It smells nice, and doesn't leave an overpowering smell on my clothes. Although I used it frequently on the trip, I barely made a dent in the bar, so it should last a good, long time." —C. Youlater

Add one to two drops for white wine and two to three drops for red wine, swirl for 20 seconds, and you're good to go! It reduces sulfites and tannins, aka the usual culprit of wine hangovers.
Promising review: "This product was really amazing. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and never write a review, however this product is worth writing one. I've used The Wand as well and like it, however the biggest drawback of The Wand is having to explain why I'm using it to others and causing undue attention. This is a quick solution to that issue. The product itself works great...I get bad headaches whenever I drink wine, however with this product I'm able to drink two to three glasses without the headaches. I'm not sure exactly what causes the headaches, whether its tannins, sulfites, etc., I just know this cures the issue. I'm sure there are those who are skeptical, I certainly was, but I can truly say it works for me and hopefully others will find success using it, as well." —luke

Promising review: "These are the softest pants ever!! I am so happy I got them, and I am for sure ordering more! I love how they feel and the softness of the fabric is just so fabulous! Great product, well-made, fits well, and is definitely a keeper!" —pugmama

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $29.
Promising review: "I sit at my desk six out of the eight hours I am at work. I hate sitting and don't like the health risks that come with sitting and not moving for such a long period of time. I'd been looking for a standing desk that was sturdy, had high reviews, and wasn't expensive. I came across this and purchased immediately. I love it. It's very easy to assemble, light to carry and easy to use. Now I can stand while working and be able to fidget a little more while still being productive. It doesn't take up my whole desk and fits a screen and laptop with a little room to spare. I highly recommend if you are looking for a standing desk." —Tori

These have a lower dose of melatonin than most brands, so they ~ease~ you into falling asleep, instead of making you pass out and wake up feeling groggy. A few Amazon reviewers have mentioned these can melt in shipment, so if you live in a hot weather climate, check 'em out in an IRL store!
Promising review: "For decades, I've been plagued by various levels of insomnia. My normal routine would include heading to bed at a slightly-later-than-reasonable hour, contemplating my excessive workload, becoming exasperated about any upcoming social plans, growing anxious after reflecting further and realizing that I basically have no social life, and wondering why I had that sixth cup of coffee in the afternoon. Before you know it, it's 4:11 a.m. and I'm incredulous, ruminating about where I went wrong in my life. That was before an angel referred me to these. These gummies' relaxing effects are felt within minutes, with a good night's sleep always soon to follow. Yes, I have had some bizarre dreams since taking this product, but they are a small price to pay for peaceful rest." —Daniel
Get them from Amazon for $14.83+ (available in 60- and 70-count containers).
Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. OH MY GOD! This is a game-changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Amazon Customer

A BuzzFeed editor swears by this bag! She says, "I have been carrying my laptop in a backpack for the last five years, because I really haven't found a laptop bag that is cute, comfortable, AND within my price range... until this beaut. Not only is it extremely adorable, but it also has survived plenty of walks in the rain and still looks like it's in the same condition as the day I got it. Best of all, I can throw everything I need for the day into the bag and there always still seems to be more room for more items. Just this week, I tossed everything in the image above in my bag like I do every morning before work, before realizing I also needed to bring extra hairspray, deodorant, and my makeup bag. All of those things also fit in this bag, and it was so nice to not have to carry a bunch of bags around on my commute!"

Plus it's broken down by priority so you can manage your time better! I have this myself, and I love these little guys. They really do motivate me once I'm actually able to list things out!

Promising review: "Love it! I had it on my counter for a year and didn’t realize what I had was gold. My son wanted to know why it was just sitting there. I was apprehensive about using it (does it really taste like fried chicken?). Well I’m hear to tell you it does! It’s crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. All you do is follow the instructions and you will have fried chicken that will melt in your mouth. It does more than that..you can bake bread, jerky, etc. Try it you will be pleased and healthier!" —Baby Freaky Gees

This is especially great for dry, sensitive skin.
Promising review: "In winter, my skin is super dry and very sensitive and reactive to most masks and lotions. I was skeptical at first, but it is a great hydrating mask that didn’t make me break out. I put it on last after my usual routine and woke up with wonderfully hydrated skin that stayed soft all day. I highly recommend it." —TaTReviews

Promising review: "I used to use another app for meditation, but Calm has helped me take things to a whole other level. I feel like the Calm meditations go much deeper and I’m noticing a huge difference in myself after switching over. Historically, I’m somewhat self-critical and I have a higher than normal baseline for general anxiety. At times, these things make me impulsive or reactive in certain ways that I don’t like. I feel like I’m much more self aware after switching to Calm and I’m able to identify when I’m experiencing certain feelings and deal with them in a healthy way. Aside from that, I’m much more enthusiastic about my meditation practice and I’m meditating more often since I learn new skills every day." —bgschubert

Promising review: "This product is holding around 35 hangers for me, and still I could add more. I hesitated to order the rack fearing it might buckle or fail in some capacity; now I am pleased with the quality and performance, as well as the easy assembly and installation. Thanks to this rack, I was able to thin out my tiny closet and find garments that had been 'missing' for a while and thought lost. I should have gotten it sooner." —Joanne Carnevale

Clearer skin = one less thing to worry about.
Promising review: "I’ve been experimenting with these for the last month and a half, and I am in love. They are really thin and blend into my highly freckled face incredibly well...I have gone out in public twice with them on, because when I did my last second mirror check before I got out of the car, I didn’t notice I had them on! While they absolutely help clean out the skin underneath, the biggest thing it does for me is stops me from touching my face. When I'm stressed out, I will absentmindedly touch/run my hands along my face and jaw constantly. Now, when I notice I’m doing that, I run into the bathroom and put these on any spots I have. Since they are thin and stick really well, I am able to leave them alone and stop touching my face." —MelsBells

Promising review: "I struggle with the ride home after work every day and really needed something to help me stay awake and be safe while driving. I like the way they produced the candy bar in such a way that its a bit 'fluffy' in it's construction, which makes it easy to chew and not hurt your teeth. I would definitely would recommend that product to anyone in need of staying awake, and not having a crash in diet afterwards." —Alex M. Cook

Promising review: "Let me tell you, this is a great product for weightlifters experiencing shoulder impingement. I had an impingement of the left shoulder for a few months. I had an MRI and it revealed that, although the structure was intact, I had a little bit of fluid in the shoulder and bicep areas. My doctor recommended physical therapy. That same night, I bought this massage ball and started using immediately. The next day I my shoulder and bicep felt much better. I kept using it for a few more days, and I felt so great that I never went to physical therapy. This product really works!" —Rafael Soto Jr.

Promising review: "I don't know how I ever functioned without this. It's my first cold coffee brewer. I'm usually a daily drive thru cold coffee drinker. I haven't purchased a coffee for two weeks since having this! I found it super easy to brew. I haven't had a single coffee ground get through the filter, and I used fine ground coffee that I found on clearance just to try it. I usually just add milk and a flavored liquid creamer. I also made a simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar, and added in good vanilla extract when I removed it from the heat) and use that with a little milk sometimes. I haven't made a single glass of iced coffee that I couldn't drink. So simple! Don't hesitate to try it!" —Jennifer

Promising review: "I purchased these earplugs because I suffer from something called annoying neighbors syndrome. I would liken the sounds coming from below and across from my apartment to that of an auto shop or a construction site, perhaps even an airplane hanger. Therefore, I have resulted to earplugs to ensure I get a somewhat worthwhile night of sleep. The contour capabilities of these ear plugs make them incredibly comfortable to wear. After inserting the earplugs and allowing them to adjust, silence befell my bedroom. I was able to sleep free from the obnoxious noises that surround my apartment. These will be the only earplugs I wear from now on." —Emily Buss

Promising review: "I have chronic tension headaches (I am a very anxious person) and this has completely saved my brain. I was worried about using it on my temples and forehead because I have incredibly sensitive skin, but it hasn't made me break out or anything. It's a good level of dilution to not risk skin burns, and the addition of lavender helps calm my anxiety. I use this almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day if I'm really stressed. I've found that extending it down to my traps and behind my ears makes it work even better. 6/5 would always recommend." —E. R. Sutherland

Promising review: "I am beyond thrilled with this little gizmo. It has worked wonders on everything in my closet from delicate chiffon and poly-blends, to heavier cotton and wool-blends. I have even steamed stubborn wrinkles from blazers and purses and linen. I considered purchasing a larger steamer, but they tend to be clumsy, heavy and difficult to maneuver. This steamer is perfect. And for frequent refills, I simply keep a pitcher of water nearby. For the price, you can't beat it." —Savvy Shopper
