Be sure to change the spikes every 30 days during the spring and summer months!
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violets plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

Promising review (seat gap filler): "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize, it would be one of my favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this. That's why I gave it 5 stars!" —Tessa Forbes

Promising review: "These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shined brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." —Tom S4TX

Promising review: "This runs true to size. This is a great top to wear alone or with a jacket/cardigan over it. I like that I can adjust the straps. For size reference' I am a 32C/5-foot-3/107 pounds and got the 0. I own it in the pink and white and I'm contemplating getting one of the blues!" —Jules3195

Promising review: "This has been my saving grace!! No longer do I have to routinely pull 3-foot-long strands of old goopy hair up out of my drain. Catches everything. Must have for pop-up drains!!
I've updated my review to include a pic of all the hair from my German Shepherd that did NOT go down the drain after her bath thanks to this product!!" —Chels

This absorbs ethylene gas = the stuff that ripens your fruits and vegetables. It's safe to use in the fridge or a fruit bowl. And each packet last three months!
Promising review: "These REALLY work! We have to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. Great product and have already bought many as gifts. They don't seem to work on tomatoes but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables." —Jacki

Promising review: "This is a 100% painless and incredibly easy alternative to waxing or plucking. A few quick swipes gets rid of peach fuzz and I never have to worry about breaking out because of it. Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R.
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $4.74.
Promising review: "I got this for my three-legged cat because he can't scratch his left side. He'll be trying to scratch and all you see is his little nub going crazy. I found these and he immediately LOVED it! The expression on his face when he first tried it was priceless. The only downside is that it's possible it'll fall off because it was hard for me to get all pieces of tape to stick on a corner at the same time, but I can always buy more double sided tape so not a big deal to me. The product is for Floyd, not me, and he's happy so 5 stars." —Pippa Runs
Get it from Amazon for $4.49.
Promising review: "These are great. I have been a fan of silicone products for a while now. These sponges are just what I hoped for. They don't scratch my dishes, stainless-steel cookware, stainless sink, eating utensils, or countertops. They clean well and don't require a lot of pressure. The size fits perfectly in my hand. They appear to be pretty well-made – no unraveling, shredding, or shedding. They are odorless after several uses, and easy to clean." —Kindle Customer

This holds 82 batteries of varying sizes and has a removable battery tester.
Promising review: "We have forever kept spare batteries in sandwich bags in a kitchen junk drawer for quick convenience. The bags would always come open and scatter batteries or tear. One day, I decided to reorganize – I found this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It was a major step in reorganizing my junk drawer! I also discovered that I had five dead batteries stored for use. How wonderful was that? Now I'll never replace a dead battery with another dead battery. I love things that help me stay organized and this is a huge plus." —FergFam

Promising review: "So my grandmother told me about this product when I was young, about 20 years ago or so. I use it all the time! THIS STUFF WORKS! It works really well too. My nails grow really long in a few weeks and I get to decide when to cut them off. Women ask me about them all the time, 'How do you get such white nail tips?' Well, it's because of this." —Halie Brake

One roll of these is gonna clean up messes that'd otherwise take 60 ROLLS of paper towels to tackle.
Promising review: "I've had these bamboo towels for a month now and am incredibly impressed with their performance! They're much larger than a regular paper towel, thicker, softer and more absorbent. I've washed the first ones I've torn off the roll several times now and they DO survive the laundry and perform just as well afterward. I've only used five bamboo towels this month, washed them and re-used. Several times. I would have been through a whole roll of Brawny by now. One caveat...when you wash them, you're supposed to air dry them, so I haven't sent any through the dryer. And I haven't needed to, because allowing them to air dry has not affected the quality of the towels when I 're-roll' them!" —A. Clark

Promising review: "This is a great product and a great idea. I am someone who has a lot of notebooks and journals, I like to write everything down so I remember it. I have wasted countless Post-it notes writing to-do lists and this little notebook not only helps me preserve my beloved post-its, it's great for the environment as I'm reusing the same pages instead of tearing them out and starting with a brand new page or notebook. I wish I had known about this when I was going to college, how much time and money it would have saved me. I love the fact that you can just scan each page and send it to a specific place that you have designated. Way to go Rocketbook! You are my new favorite thing! I literally show as many people as I can about this." —Natasha

These are lightweight and won't add bulk behind your ears.
Promising review: "I was a little dubious about these but my daughter was always having her glasses fall off her face and onto the floor so I figured if I could spend a couple of bucks to save her expensive glasses, it was worth a shot. In fact, because you get five pairs, I put a set on my glasses and I'll be darned if they don't work really well. They aren't too thick, so you don't really notice them on your ears. In fact, because of the soft silicone, they actually result in less of the occasional soreness I would get from my glasses on my ears sometimes." —Domenico Bettinelli

The ants will bring this sweet-tasting poison back to their colony and after a few days, BAM! This kills both the workers and the queen.
Promising review: "Outstanding product. Unusually warm weather out this way for Feb and we were finding relatively large ants in our kitchen. Went online, saw the reviews for Terro and it sure and heck beat out anything by Raid or its ilk, ordered some, laid them down in the kitchen, within two days the ants were gone. Found a few of them inside the traps, but then on the whole didn't think very much about it.
Now in March, this past Saturday, my son yells, "Dad, there's ants by the door!" Sure enough, there was a trail of ants running along the base of the door frame, looking like they were coming from somewhere inside the house. Got three of the bait packs and placed them along the side of the door. I managed to accidentally spill some of the fluid in one of the packs on the floor where I was placing the bait pack, figured that was fine and I'd clean it off after the ants were gone.
Within an hour or so there was a swarm of ants gathered around the spill and there were numerous ants inside all three of the packs that I had laid down. By that night there was maybe one or two ants I'd occasionally see, as of this writing the ants are gone. Bottom line, this stuff works, no question about it. Don't mess with the stuff you normally get in the supermarket, THIS is what you want if you're looking to have ants gone." —JamesMN

Promising review: "This is a great product! It removed months/years of product build-up in my hair that I didn't even know I had. After just one wash, my hair felt lighter, finer, more voluminous, and I needed less styling products to achieve the same results. But be careful not to use this too often as it can dry out your hair. I have long, dark, fine hair and I use this about once every two weeks, or once every four to five washes." —Katherine

Although it really is time you start buying your own tortilla chips.
Promising review: "These work very well to dampen the sounds of my idiot roommates slamming cabinet doors at all hours of the day. Just make sure you're wiping down the part of the cabinet they'll stick to before applying them. The adhesive is good and should hold for a while." —LMA

Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I've never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

Promising review: "This is hands down the best cleanser I have ever used. I have cystic acne and this is the only cleanser that I have used that has gotten rid of all of my cystic acne. I had to go a week without this a couple weeks ago and my cystic acne came back and within a couple days of using this again, it has all disappeared. This is amazing." —Michelle C.

Promising review: "I'm an enormous fan of the these tees from Madewell. The material is very soft, wispy, and washes very well. There are an array of colors to choose from. These are perfect for layering, lounging around, or for vacation. You can never go wrong purchasing multiples of these because you will get use out of them. If you want a looser fit, purchase your regular size. If you would prefer a more standard cut, go down a size." —Rouge

Plus, I've got a little extra pun ready for whoever I see first that morning!'" —SunCaptain
