Promising review: "As a lifelong hoarder, I suffered from a great deal of depression and anxiety about my home because we were drowning in stuff and I had no idea where to start. I found the author on YouTube first and her videos were a life changer for me. She gave me the motivation to start small and work big. Now that I have this book, I'm over the moon excited and can't wait to jump in and use it! Where her first book helped me emotionally and give me the understanding I needed to change my life for the better, this book gives me the tools too! I'm in love with it. Think of it more as a workbook for a better life. It has all the printables you could ever need — lists and guides to things I never would have thought of but totally need. I don't have to make my own cheat sheets now; she's done it for me and it's designed for you to cut them out as needed. I would have no problem repurchasing this book every year as the ultimate planner, but since she has also included a link to a bunch of free downloads I may not have to. The author's approach is honest and real, positive and supportive. She's been there and knows how hard it is to parent and adult when it comes to staying organized and running our homes. Get the paper version, it's awesome and you can write in it!" —tammy k davis

Promising review: "I have no idea how I lived so long without it. I literally wish I could find the words to describe how incredible this thing is. I could slap myself for not buying it sooner. I have an 85-pound golden retriever who SHEDS. Not normal shedding — I'm talking this dog has so much hair it's ridiculous to clean up. I vacuum every day and run the Roomba when I'm working. But there was nothing besides lint rolling that I could do for the couches, pillows, sheets, etc. Until this. When I got it, I used it really quickly on our ottoman, which has a ton of dog hair on it just from existing in our living room. Ran this back and forth a little and I kid you not, all the hair was gone. Took it to the couches, sunroom furniture, all the throw pillows, and the bed sheets (which is absolutely life changing), and it removed 98% of the hair. I contemplated buying another one so my husband and I could tag team everything that needed fur removal. I cleaned the couch cushions tonight and when I sat down on the couch (IN A BLACK SHIRT) I had no dog hair on me when I got off the couch. This thing is absolutely incredible and has surpassed any expectation I could have had. I'm not one to give into gimmicky 'miracle' products but this one is legit. Just buy it!" —Nichole

It's also got two small interior pockets!
Promising review: "If I could give this six stars, I would. I immediately filled it up and rejoiced at how neatly it held (and, OMG, sorted) my art pens for my purse. Jubilant, I came straight back to Amazon to order three more as gifts! It's the perfect size for tossing into a purse or backpack. It is a little smaller than I expected, but honestly, it holds the perfect quantity for what you would need out and about. I absolutely LOVE it's design. It opens and converts down smoothly, standing up just like it should. I can clearly see all of my pen nib sizes and colors without having to dig through a pencil case or spray pens across a café table. It's very well-made, too! Very sturdy! This is marvelous." —stonecat

Promising review: "So my roommate is allergic to every air freshener on this planet, but I needed a solution to the smell in my apartment. That's when I got this. It's a gift from God himself. This diffuser is amazing. It's easy to control the color/water output, and it's small and compact, easy to clean, and downright beautiful. It's great for my apartment; I can finally cover up the totally-not-pot smell that the previous tenant so graciously left me. It's also great for setting up a romantic environment when the significant other comes over. Just a head's up — if you have a dog, try not to diffuse tea tree oil, or do it in a place where the dog doesn't go. It's bad for their nervous system. I think it's the same with cats as well, but I'm not sure." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love these travel bottles! The other bottles I have leaked and these did not. They're super cute and durable! I brought them on a two-week trip to Japan and they were perfect for my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The small jars were great for moisturizer, eye cream, and facial scrub. They never leaked either. I really like that the bottles are soft and squeezable, so it's easy to get all the product out of the bottles. They are the best!" —Irvy

Promising review: "I loved the design of the notebook and that's what made me initially purchase it. I was very pleasantly surprised when the package arrived! The notebook is very well-made and feels like a high-quality notebook. I wasn’t expecting this level of quality at the price point. I am gonna keep it in my purse for musings, notes, and of course lists. My husband is jealous every time I pull it out to use it. I’m going to get him one as a gift to surprise him!" —Kimonolady

I got this for the holidays and it's adorable!!! Each dated page has space for three years and a prompt at the top for you to write a three-item (though sometimes I go over, sue me!) list of something. Some prompts are easy and simple, like "Things that made me happy this month," while others really make you think, like "Sounds I like." I love to make lists, and this is a quick and fun activity that'll provide a very telling picture of how I've evolved once I use it for a few years!
Promising review: "This is a great little journal that's perfect for training yourself to remember to write a little every day. Each list entry is only a line, and the book is small enough to fit in a purse. I love to look back over old lists and journal entries, and this journal is designed for just that." —Steph Allen

Promising review: "I really love this Feel Your Best card deck. I haven't played a card game with them yet, but I have been drawing one each morning and reflecting on the statement or question on the back. Not only are they cute, but I love that they serve more than one purpose. I think these would make a great gift for a friend too!" —Kelly S.

Over 3,000 reviewers absolutely love to pamper themselves with this! People also swear by it for dandruff and dermatitis.
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 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’ve never felt like I could pull off red lipstick, so I was skeptical at the claim that this lipstick was 'universally flattering.' IT TOTALLY IS! I wore it for the first time today and got compliment after compliment. Not only did it look great, but it stayed on and never caked up. I only had to touch up once (after lunch) and I brought my red lips to the grocery store after work. I hope thye introduce more colors in the future, because this lipstick is awesome!" —Gina M

Promising review: "My bedroom receives an annoying amount of sunlight during the afternoon for my fiancé, who often works nights. We got some blinds and basic curtains from Target, but they really didn't do enough. I got the khaki color curtains, half expecting them not to work well based on reviews of the lighter colors, and was pleasantly surprised. The photo shows new curtains vs. old, and now the room is almost completely dark. Thumbs up!" —Secondhand Limbs

The pretty (and coffee-table-display-worthy) gold tin contains two "Yes, I'm still watching" coasters, a facial roller with instructions on how to use it, a chip bag clip, a hair tie, lip balm, a "One more/Go to bed" coin to flip in moments of indecision, floss, breath drops, a nail file, a tissue, a facial cleaning wipe, a hand cleaning wipe, and adorable "Lies I tell myself, one more episode" ankle socks.
I got this in my stocking and it was one of my favorite gifts this year! Normally, I find that these kind of kits are 80% things I won't use, but this has everything I usually have to — *gasp* — pause my show and get up to get in one adorable package, and more! I've never been a facial roller person, but the cool stone feels soooo good on tired eyes. The coasters look adorable on my coffee table, and I will actually wear the socks out in the world with sneakers and ankle boots!

Promising review: "I prep my meals a month at a time and these make it much more convenient. These are especially helpful with raw meat, as I can use two hands while prepping the food and don't have to worry about keeping one clean to open the bag. I've also used them to portion out servings and ounces of meat when placed on a scale. They're not made of anything incredibly strong, but they're sturdy enough for full Ziploc bags of food." —Julie M

Promising review: "This book has exceeded all my expectations so far. I suffer from very bad anxiety and depression and have been using this book as an outlet and somewhat of a therapy tool. The pages all have different assignments or tasks on them that push you out of your comfort zone and create a wonderful feeling of freedom when they're done. Page one said 'crack the spine' which I had a very hard time with, but with each speed bump of ripping out pages, folding, cutting, crinkling, messing, glueing, and sticking, I felt more and more free. I love this book that much more every time. Some prompts, like 'color outside the lines,' are very easy, while others push you to be weird like 'collect dead bugs.' It definitely forces you to think outside the box! I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a creative outlet or just wants to have a good bit of fun!" —Aly McMuffin

Promising review: "Every aspect of this product is so lovely. I don't wear makeup to school, but I will put on a pump of Futuredew. it makes me look hydrated and well-rested. I don't even wear highlighter anymore (that's money saved!) because Futuredew gives me the perfectly supple, smooth glow that I've been trying to achieve with highlighter for years." —Angela
