All-purpose cleaner from The Laundress, Fly By Jing's Sichuan Chili Crisp, colorful nail polish from Olive & June, and more things you'll never wanna be without.
Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I was a little skeptical because I have some carpet stains I’ve let sit for a while because I didn’t have any cleaner at the time of the accident. The accidents have included coffee spills and poorly cleaned cat barf stains. I ordered this because I didn’t want to spend the money on a carpet cleaning service plus you have to be out of your house too long. This stuff was INCREDIBLE. You just spray a concentrated amount and then scrub the stain away. It worked in every single stain I had and was super quick and easy. 100% recommend if you need a good spot cleaner!" —Kimberly

Promising review: "After reading an article on BuzzFeed that touted this product, I bought one for my boyfriend who suffers from awful, frequent headaches. It WORKS. Not only does he swear by it, he has purchased them for his Mom and several friends. FANTASTIC." —SarahElizabeth

You don't have to sculpt the batter to look like a turkey...but I highly recommend it! I got this variety pack around Thanksgiving, and my girlfriend, who specializes in custom cake and cookie sculptures, knew instantly that she wanted to make some of them into turkeys. Heads up that the Immunity x Chocolate Chip flavor was the best for sculpting and molding, if that's your thing. It stayed relatively the same size and shape in the oven, while the others expanded quite a bit. They were all equally delicious though. The flavor was rich without being overly sweet, and all of them taste great even straight out of the jar. They were super quick and easy to make, only taking seven or eight minutes in the oven. I found that the flavor didn't change all that much after baking, but that was fine by me since they're so good to begin with!
Get the variety pack from DEUX for $45 (includes one jar of Immunity x Chocolate Chip, one jar of Collagen x Brownie Batter, and one jar of Protein x Peanut Butter).
Promising review: "I write this for Pabu, a Shih Tzu. The vanilla mint flavor disappeared for a long time, and Pabu would refuse all other flavors. This arrived yesterday and he went right for the first link. Happy breath and dental care again. Woo-hoo!" —Mikah

These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral build-up. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.
Promising review: "I was ready to trash my old GE dishwasher because it left so much behind on the dishes, and I spent more time pre-washing and then re-washing them than I would have spent just washing everything by hand. I decided to try these tablets as a last resort, not really having any faith that they would make a difference. But these actually work! I popped one into the detergent dispenser and ran it through an empty cycle. After that, I immediately saw a big improvement. The effect lasted about five to six weeks when I started to notice the same crusty residue on the washed dishes. I repeated the empty cycle with one tablet and, again, things got much better. So I'm convinced! They really are worth a try." —D. Raviele

Promising review: "I purchased with skepticism, but after using them I am pleasantly surprised. I LOVE this product!! Our laundry used to come out smelling WORSE than before I washed it. I thought I needed to buy a new washing machine. NO!!! I used two tabs initially (two different wash cycles), then use one a month for maintenance. My clothes always come out smelling fresh and clean! What a miracle, money-saving product. Only wish I’d known about them sooner!" —Ashley

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I wore heels that always give me blisters for eight hours, and I didn't get a single one when using this balm. It really worked! I plan on getting it again and again. I always have it in my bag at work just in case. I did find it necessary to reapply if I took my shoes off and put them on again." —Donna

One BuzzFeeder described the taste as a "tea-coffee hybrid" and that the mushroom presence is very faint. And! He said this makes him "feel clear-headed, chilled, yet stimulated." Sounds a lot better than my coffee-induced crashes. To learn more about this, check out a BuzzFeeder's full review in "10 Life-Changing Things To Try In May." (#3)
Promising review: "I have no idea if there will legitimately be any real benefits to ingesting these 'super-'mushrooms in my coffee, but what I do know is this: They taste good, and they leave me less jittery than regular coffee. That could be just the result of drinking slightly less coffee in my coffee, but either way, it satisfies my craving for coffee and it tastes good." —Kate O'Neill

Promising review: "I slipped in the shower the other day and grabbed my towel bar outside of it so as not to die. Doing so, I ripped the bar off the wall, including the screws and anchors, so I had four small but kind of nasty holes in my wall. I've never done any sort of drywall repair/spackling, etc., and I figured, for under $10 with all I could need, this would do the job. I applied the spackle, smoothed it with the flat end of the tube, and allowed it to dry. I was able to sand it smooth and then paint over the spackle. It looks fine now. I give it 5 stars for convenience." —John J. Connelly Jr.

Promising review: "I have and love this cleanser! I have super sensitive skin and tend to avoid any skincare products with strong smells, but I haven't had a problem with this one, despite with wonderful honey smell. It's a gel cleanser that doesn't foam (foaming is a little drying so it should be avoided if you have dry skin) but can be worked into a nice, sudsy lather. It's infused with honey and hyaluronic acid to moisturize while cleansing." —Bek O'Connell, BuzzFeed Editor

This stain remover works on fresh and dried stains without forcing you to use bleach (win!!). Plus, it also works on coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red-medicine stains, and even any "accidents" your pets may have left behind.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago, and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent and takes care of any stain (not just wine) so fast and so efficiently, it's become a party trick. LOL. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate to a friend how great it is. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it to clean all sorts of materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie Nolen

To use, place 5-10 drops in your ears and let the microfoam action start softening the wax. Wait a few minutes, then flush with water using a bulb. Reviewers say it may take a few uses before wax is soft enough for removal, but...worth it.
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this actually works and works well. Freaked me out at first — sounded like pop rocks in my ears. Day one flush did not reveal much debris, but day two definitely had it rolling out." —Guy from Mt P

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I have tried the regular strength Easy-Off and was disappointed so when I came across this I was skeptical, but after reading the views, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did; this did wonders for my oven. Cleaned all the stuck-on spots that other cleaners missed with ease. I let it sit for two hours and tested a small section and I was pleased with the results so far so i let it sit overnight and almost all of it came off with no problem. I did have to scrub some off but not like other products. This is a lifesaver." —trisha skubisz

Plus, they're vegan and cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms because I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad; I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful — I love the smell, and it is not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Patricia

It also helps get rid of tomato juice, red wine, yellow armpit stains, mud, makeup, pet stains, and more. It's a nontoxic and cruelty-free concoction, which means it's made from ingredients that won't harm pets or kids.
Promising review: "I had some super-nasty dress shirts that I was about to throw away. No matter how much I washed them, my antiperspirant was caked up inside the armpits and actually smelled as if someone with rank armpits just took it off (not me, certainly!?). I put two squirts of this stuff under each armpit and rubbed for about 15 seconds each. Then I tossed all the shirts in the floor for the night, still wet. The next morning, I washed them and took them out of the dryer, and I couldn't believe that the shirts looked and smelled brand-new. I love this stuff!" —Don K.

Promising review: "I truly can't get over how well this works! I had never used Lime-A-Way before. I always used a bleach bathroom spray, which would clean, but I still had discoloration in the tub, making it look dirty. I chalked it up to the tub being old, since the discoloration had been there since I bought the house. Well, Lime-A-Way proved me wrong. The tub was, in fact, dirty. At first I thought I was just imagining that the tub was turning whiter, but I kept spraying. It's unbelievable. After spraying, wiping with paper towels, and rinsing a few times, YEARS of buildup was gone. I've owned this house for three years, and since the day I moved in I've tried almost everything; soaking, scrubbing, scouring, bleach, abrasive cleaners. Now the tub looks brand-new!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "In addition to petroleum, this ointment also has lanolin and a couple other ingredients, so it seems to work better than Vaseline. I have been using it almost everyday for the last few days. I have even used it on my lips and the heels of my feet. I like the way it makes my legs look healthy in the sun. Because it has the petroleum in it, it leaves a moist look to them. I have very dry skin. I always have. But this is really helping." —Cbreeze475

As someone who would probably lick the seasoning directly off of an everything bagel if it were socially acceptable, let me tell you from personal experience that this blend is no joke! It legitimately tastes exactly like you hope it would, and I've yet to spinkle it on anything that hasn't been improved by its presence.
Promising review: "I literally put this on everything. It’s awesome! I bought it because I already love Trader Joe’s, so that was a no-brainer. I was making homemade keto bagels and wanted everything bagels, and this was perfect. I will definitely buy more when I run out." —Edward Maroney

Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE BATH BOMBS!!!! I think they are fun in terms of the packaging, the names, the colors and the little 'extras' mixed in the bombs. I personally feel they are just the right size and love the colors. The first time around I was concerned about the color part but no worries — doesn't stain the tub. They are very moisturizing for the long tough New York winter we are experiencing this year; my skin tends to be dry but using these bath bombs on a regular basis has helped to keep my skin nice and soft. And the number of bath bombs in the set along with the price is just right!" —Pamela

Did I mention it is the first product that's ever successfully worked to remove all the grime on my fridge? No choice but to stan." —Colin Gorenstein, BuzzFeed Staff

Promising review: "I love this meal planner and shopping list! In my house, it was constantly 'what do you want to eat,' 'what do we have,' blah blah, etc. Now, I can lay out the week's meals and get my shopping list prepared so I make sure I don't miss anything at the grocery store. The magnet on the back is strong and holds it to the fridge perfectly, even with the door opening and closing constantly. The perforation is good and doesn't stray off into the paper like some cheaper papers do. Will be buying again when my current one gets low." —Haley
