It sounds so simple: drinking water.
Promising review: "I received my cool mist humidifier yesterday and I have to say, I am very happy I bought it. I work in a small office (my room is not bigger than 6 feet by 10 feet) and with the forced air we have, my nose and throat were always bothering me with such dry air. Now, even if it was only day two of using the machine, I feel and noticed a huge difference with my nose and throat. Great little machine, very helpful and worth the price." —Mary

Promising review: "I have no earthly idea why this works, but it brought me back from the dead after an 11-day headache. I found it worked better to rub it all over my hot pack, zap it in the microwave, and wrap it around the base of my neck. The aromatherapy was great, and it dulled my headache enough to restore my will to live. 5/5." —Katie B.

It keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks warm for 12 hours. The straw allows you to sip your drink instead of tilting the bottle, which comes in handy when you're busy doing something else! It's durable and comes with two straws, a pipe cleaner, and a protective bag. Plus, it's eco-friendly, rust-proof, and BPA-free. It's also big enough that it can last you the whole day.
My Bougie Bottle is a woman-owned small biz whose mission is to create the most convenient, durable reusable water bottles to combat plastic pollution and destruction of marine life due to it. Their bottle artwork is intended to raise awareness of the benefits conservation has on our planet.
Promising review: "The bottle is quite lovely. It does come with two straws, a convenient ice tray and brush which can also be utilized to clean the "hard to reach areas" of the mouth piece spigot. It definitely keeps my drinks cold all day as indicated in the description as well as fits in mar car cup holder which is one of my biggest gripes with other water bottles. Other than needing to wash by hand (wouldn't dare chance such a marvelous paint job in the dishwasher) I have no complaints. Arrived quickly in trendy protective packaging. Would purchase again." —KegSci

Promising review: "My dry and sensitive skin’s savior. I used to have products formulated for oily/combo skin and when my skin’s texture changed to dry and sensitive, I had no idea what to do. Everything was irritating my face, drying out and breaking me out. When I say these masks have rescued my skin, I’m not exaggerating. These masks hit two birds with one stone: hydrating my face and healing it. I’ve tried several products (not just masks) in the past with niacinamide and vitamin B5 and none have worked this well for me. I’m so happy with these! It’s rare for me these days to not have products that irritate my skin. I can’t wait to purchase my next box of masks!" —Roxanne

Promising review: "I love the product and the value! I can't wait to order more! I've made this part of my routine, and I'm so glad I did. My skin is already changing for the better because I'm taking the time to care for it. After washing and toning my face, I love wearing these sheet masks. There is a lot of product on them, and it makes a noticeable difference in how soft and clear my skin is, after using them each day. Highly recommend!" —Teacher Marilyn

Promising review: "We have town water. The refrigerator filters are super expensive and weren't cutting it. Every time I put a glass to my mouth, it smelled like a swimming pool. I decided to give this a try. Wow! The chlorine taste is just gone! No more overpriced fridge filters for us. The flow is just amazing! And the water tastes great! Don't waste your money on the expensive, complicated ones. My parents have a name-brand filter. It was expensive, the replacements are expensive, it is a pain to replace, and the flow rate is pathetic! Our water from this filter tastes just as good as theirs at a fraction of the price, plus it's way more convenient, plus the flow rate is way better. Love it! You will too!" —BJ

It comes with a cleaning brush too!
Promising review: "I ordered these to try and cut back on my use of plastic straws. They arrived on time and in great condition. All of the straws are the same size and shape and are made of a sturdy metal. The cleaning tool is very helpful in cleaning the inside of the straw. They do not make your drink taste any different. I would reccomend these to anyone looking for a reusable straw." —Megan

Promising review: "I originally bought this water bottle as a means to reduce waste, save money, and drink more water while traveling on airplanes. What a great investment! In the first couple flights I took, the bottle paid for itself. Since then, I've used it for daily use and hiking. It's great that I can fill up at a faucet or dip my bottle into a stream (!) and know that my water is safe to drink. It's an incredibly empowering feeling for this active person looking to stay hydrated!" —Simon Sayz

My BuzzFeed colleague loves this! Here's what she says about it:
"I own this wonderful water bottle, and I swear it's the only reason I'm good at keeping up with my water intake now. It comes with eight colorful rubber bands, and each time I finish the bottle, I take a rubber band off and wear it on my wrist. It's actually so rewarding getting to take a band off, and even more rewarding once you take the last band off. I've tried setting alarms on my phone, buying bigger water bottles, using the Plant Nanny app — this is the only thing that has worked for me." —Sam Wieder

Promising review: "My husband and I love SodaStream! We usually drink water at work (so we are not sitting on our desks until lunch break or until work ends) but hardly when we are at home. After getting SodaStream, we both ended up drinking 2 liters a day working from home now. We love it!" —10zin
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two colors and three styles).
Promising review: "The filter was installed in two minutes (without tools) and tap water that was foul with chemicals now has no taste at all (like water should). As an A/B test, before installation, I poured a glass of unfiltered water and set it aside. Seven minutes later, the filter was installed and sufficiently flushed so I poured a glass of filtered water. I tried the unfiltered glass and it tasted (and smelled) almost as bad as water from a public pool. On the other hand, the second glass contained odorless, clear, and tasteless tap water. I'm on my second six-ounce glass of filtered water right now and I will no longer have an aversion to drinking the local tap water. It makes a BIG difference!" —J. Allen
Get it from Amazon for $41.98.
Promising review: "I've been using Nuun as a sports drink for many years. It does a great job of keeping electrolyte levels high without sugar or artificial sweeteners like the more commonly available electrolyte drinks. Have tried almost all the flavors and like Tropical the best. Drink this instead of Gatorade or Powerade. Your body will thank you." —Lynn

Promising review: "I never drank enough water a day until I purchased this product. I love the taste of it, and I am able to drink more water after I put a few droppers of the product into my filtered water. It is also easy to take with you to add to bottled water on the go." —Patricia

Promising review: "I don't know how they do it! I'm still amazed that something so pure, aside from plain water, can taste this good! Hint has managed to take water and enhance it without any added junk (sweeteners, preservatives, etc.). Of course, I drank water prior to finding Hint, but I also admit to loving my caffeine and other flavored drinks. Although I want to be healthy, I also like having a little flavor and Hint water lets me do just that! In my opinion, they're good at both room temperature and chilled, but I prefer it cold as the flavor seems brighter (a bit more pronounced). I would not describe it as sweet like a beverage that has a sweetener in it, but it's definitely has a sweet natural flavor to it. I have two cases of the watermelon and I still run out sometimes. Whatever you do, definitely give it a try!" —Veroandi
