    28 Things Reviewers Absolutely Raved About Last Month

    They loved 'em in April, so you'll love 'em in May.

    1. A bottle of First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub formulated with 10% AHA to gently exfoliate your skin and decongest pores — so you can finally wave goodbye to all those annoying red bumps on your arms and legs once and for all! (Plus, it's cruelty-free AND vegan).

    2. The Laundress Crease Release spray because even if you're going back to the office, there's NO way you are picking up an iron again after not needing one for two years. Luckily, this vegan and cruelty-free magic spray will make all your 'fits totally wearable with just a few spritzes!!

    3. A Bissell SteamShot that'll transform even the dirtiest parts of your home back to their former glory. AND give you one heckuva before-and-after photo to text to all of your friends! It heats up in less than 30 seconds and uses steam to loosen grime, dirt and everything in between.

    4. A cordless electric wine bottle opener because corks are truly mischievous little things that never seem to cooperate as you'd like them to. This push-button bottle opener will help alleviate the headache of wrestling with them!

    5. A pack of eyeshadow shields that'll catch any fallout and prevent it from ruining the rest of your makeup. Genius!

    6. A jar of 24-Hour Edge Tamer designed to lay your edges while adding shine and not weighing things down (or flaking). Plus, it's safe to use every single day!

    7. A cheese board set that's sure to be all the rage at your next get-together with family and friends this summer. The set includes cutlery, and dedicated spots for crudite or dips!

    8. A genius cereal bowl with a divider down the middle, which means your milk can mix with your cereal at your own discretion. Here's to that perfect crunchy/soggy ratio we all strive for in our morning bowl.

    9. A fanny pack that's truly a marriage of style and function. Whether you're going back to concerts and long trips, or just need a handy bag while you're out running errands, this is your new one-stop shop.

    10. An in-flight phone mount so you can successfully watch your shows hands-free AND eat all the snacks you packed for your journey. It can even mount to your luggage while you're waiting to board!

    11. An automatic spice grinder that comes with interchangeable, refillable pods, so you can just switch them in and out at your leisure and have freshly ground spices ready for cooking (without needing a grinder for each spice). A lil' bit of salt, then a lil' bit of peppah! EASY! 🧂

    12. A cult-favorite CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser packed with ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help clear up acne and moisturize your skin with its lotion-like consistency. Reviewers with sensitive skin swear by it!

    13. Murder Most Puzzling — a witty book packed with 20 "whodunnit" cases for you to solve amongst a cast of colorful characters.

    14. A Rocketbook smart reusable notebook that you can use to digitize your handwritten notes — which means you can also save them neatly in a folder on your computer, rather than having to flip through a million pages in your notebook (that's covered in coffee stains, no less) trying to find them!

    15. An easy-to-grip Oxo cookie scoop to give you that beautiful scoop of dough or batter, every single time. And when the scoops are even, that means the goodies bake evenly — which is only fair to the goodies (and your watering mouth).

    16. AND, a set of food coloring pens that you can use to... draw on your FOOD!? Yep, they're 100% food safe and guaranteed to take your custom baked goods to the next level.

    17. A Kenra Platinum blow-dry spray formulated to minimize drying time AND detangle your hair. We LOVE a 2-for-1 deal around here.

    18. A set of packing cubes to keep you nice and organized on all your upcoming trips. Not only can you neatly pack WAY more than you could've ever imagined, BUT, they also work as a clever way to keep your dirty clothes separate on extra long trips.

    19. A set of double-sided magnetic measuring spoons that *ahem* can ACTUALLY fit inside spice jars!!! Your baking game is about to change forever.

    20. A set of Rubbermaid Brilliance Leak Proof containers designed with an airtight seal to keep your food fresh while preventing any leakage in transport. Reviewers also mention that they're incredibly easy to wash and great for meal prepping!

    21. A windproof umbrella with a vented double canopy that's been reinforced to withstand intense spring windstorms. Gone are the days of the wind awkwardly inverting your umbrella! ☂

    22. A grooming brush with extra-thin, extra-long teeth designed to truly give your pup the blowout of their dreams. It'll also help them shed their winter coat faster (so you can stay ahead of keeping all that hair off your furniture).

    23. A portable George Foreman indoor/outdoor electric grill that'll 100% fit on your tiny balcony in the city. It also runs on electricity, not gas!! You're about to be grillin' up a ~storm~.

    24. A mold and mildew stain remover specifically formulated to restore your bathroom to its former glory. In your shower, tile grout, around the sink — you name it, this can clean it. You can even use it to freshen up your washing machine, too!

    25. A bottle of Mike's Extra Hot Honey, because you love the OG so much and have been craving a version that kicks up the heat a bit. Whatever it is you're eating, from savory to sweet, a drizzle of this stuff will immediately kick the flavor up a few notches. 💯

    26. An ergonomic office chair (available in 10+ fun colors!) to round out your home office set-up, since you are officially WFH for good and have been waiting to invest in a better chair until the decision was made.

    27. A foldable yoga mat that can basically do its own yoga — by which I mean, it can fit in your backpack. Talk about a commuter's dream.

    28. A bottle of Aquaphor Ointment Body Spray that reviewers swear is SO much more effective than traditional lotions. It's dermatologist recommended to immediately soothe dry, rough skin — and has no shortage of reviews to back it up.
