Promising review: "I have done a lot of research before I purchased my Layla foam mattress and I love it! I get a night of deeper sleep with no body pain at all — no back or hip pain. The soft side feels like sleeping on a soft marshmallow. The firm side feels like a firmer marshmallow. I love both sides. The mattress cover is soft with a great honeycomb design. My cats love my new mattress and we all all very happy! ^. .^ " —Dawn W.

It also has a compartment on the side where I can place my chocolate or 'boba money'. I love it and would definitely recommend it for boba lovers!" —Richard V.

Promising review: "Product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation, I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out, until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Revueltas

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. It's particularly horrendous in the evening. Therefore, I have resorted to earplugs to ensure I get a somewhat worthwhile night of sleep. The contour capabilities of these earplugs make them incredibly comfortable to wear. After inserting the ear plugs and allowing them to adjust, silence befell my bedroom. I was able to sleep free from the obnoxious noises that surround my apartment. My only complaint is perhaps these ear plugs work a little too well. I missed my alarm...by an hour and a half. The earplugs blocked every bit of noise. After the initial panic of being late for work wore off, I was slightly amused that my neighbors had to listen to my alarm while I, for once, slept through their douchebaggery. These will be the only ear plugs I wear from now on." —Emily Buss

Promising review: This diffuser is awesome!! My son is emphatic that it's the coolest diffuser he's ever seen and he wants one in every room 😂 🐦 I've been using it in a bedroom and it effectively fills the whole room with aroma. The cover is actually glass, which I was really impressed by. The base and interior are a hard plastic. The buttons are conveniently located at the front and the cord was surprisingly long, which is nice when outlet space is at a premium. But the most impressive thing about this diffuser is how cool it is in the dark. My kids exclaimed that it's like watching fireworks! We are all really enjoying it. I also love that Aroma Outfitters is a family business located here in the states. They stand behind this diffuser with a two-year warranty, which I've never seen before, so you really can't go wrong. Tonight as our family was sitting around watching the diffuser my husband said it's the best diffuser we've ever had! We're all big fans!! —The Gales

Promising review: "We recently moved into a new home, which is about a mile or two from a major interstate. We didn't really realize how noisy it was until night time when all the trucks are going down it. There is just an open field between us and the highway. I was skeptical when I purchased these curtains that they would actually block very much sound. I know layering up bath towels can block almost all the sound, but its also really ugly. These curtains reduced the interstate noise to just a low hum. I was actually able to get some sleep last night." — John Samwore

What you get: You'll get eight deluxe sample-sized and full-sized Korean skincare products per month, such as sheet masks, sunscreen, clay and foam masks, hydrating lotions, and more. Each box has a value of $80-$100!
Promising review: "I have been receiving BomiBox (luxe) for over a year and a half now and I am consistently impressed with this subscription box! I was already pretty familiar with Korean skincare regimens and brands, and this was a great way to add more variety to my routine. The products are mostly full-size which is a fantastic value. The curation is also excellent; for example, in the winter I’ll get items ideal for hydrating and protecting dry/itchy skin, while the summer months will have more SPF and oil/clarifying products which are awesome. The box is mostly all skincare, which is great for me." —Kristen K.
