Where's your medal? You deserve one.
The key ingredients include neoglucosamine, a skin-resurfacing and brightening ingredient that's also a building block of hyaluronic acid for that dose of hydration, moringa seed oil extract, a collagen production booster, and vitamin C and vitamin E for more brightening and nourishment.
I usually prefer my SPF separate from my other skincare products/steps — yet somehow, from the first time I used this moisturizer + SPF many months ago, it quickly became one of my fave sunscreens. And I take sunscreen very seriously! I just give the container a lil' shake and it absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a white cast, and gives my skin a boost of hydration, brightening, and most importantly, a well-rounded layer of SPF 30 protection. (I appreciate the fact that it's not just SPF 15, which a lot of moisturizers + SPF products seem to cop out with.) If I feel like my skin needs extra hydration, I'll apply a separate moisturizer, but on days I feel like my nighttime skincare routine really did its job well, I'll just slap this on and call it a morning!

Promising review: "Be sure to use hot water; even though it won't foam as much, it seems to do a lot better job. The first time I used these on a Contigo travel mug I used room-temp water, and it just came out okay. For the next travel mug I used boiling water and the results were terrific. It looks new again. Then I used two cubes (and boiling water) in a large old pressure cooker that had become brown inside from years of making vegetable soups, and I'm amazed how clean it came out. That pressure cooker stain persisted throughout dozens of scrubbing sessions and dishwasher runs, so I figured the Bottle Bright wouldn't help either, but it did!" —MisterPlow

Promising review: "Bought this for my daughter who moved in to her college dorm to help her keep her limited dresser drawer space organized. She says that it's great for keeping her things organized, but also helpful to see when she's running low on underwear or socks, and therefore needs to get a load of clothes done!" —Lori B.

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs that jumped up and scratched places. We also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were. Several other areas were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magical eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let is sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris

It has 12 categories to focus on for each of the 12 months of the year (but honestly, you can tackle it however you want!), including creativity, reflection, finances, and sleep. And there's also a habit brainstorm guide if you need some help getting started!
Promising reviews: "This is perfect! I’m a visual person anyway, so every morning I see this and see the progress I’ve made, I am effectively building new habits. Or at the very least, encouraged to keep it up! Lots of good ideas to help me, too. Definitely considering another for next year! Highly recommend!!!" —EbonyButterfly

Sure, you could store all of this info digitally or on your phone, but there's something more personal and satisfying about hand-writing your lists. More motivation to actually cook food too, perhaps!
Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. The magnetic part is cool because you can hang it on the fridge, but I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.

Promising review: "This is absolutely essential for me to have in the winter. My hair is over two feet long and it takes a very long time to blow dry it, so I need this in order to get out the door in a timely fashion every morning. I spritz it liberally on my wet hair and blow dry with my round ceramic brush until it's almost completely dry." —SLW

Promising review: "I can't even believe how well this worked! I got engaged a month ago and I started noticing that my ring looked dull and I wanted to find something that would get under the rungs and clean it well. As soon as I rinsed this off, it sparkled like the day I got it! I can't wait to clean my mum's — she hasn't cleaned hers in 21 years and I know it will work amazing on hers too!" —Kiwifamily1996

Promising review: "These things work so much better than the laundry bags we used to use. They do a much better job of protecting delicates and can really hold a surprising amount. The zippers on these are very well made, open and close easily, don't have any jagged teeth exposed, and have proved to be very durable so far. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again." —JMac

Promising review: "Great product! This shampoo 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 fewer 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." —Kat

Promising review: "Our knives were so dull you could grab them by the blade, lick food off of them, and be generally careless. That all changed with this sharpener. I had to have a special knife-themed family meeting to express how sharp the knives are because of this amazing product. Very little work required to keep them razor sharp." —iTeechuLern

Promising review (for the above photos): "LOVE IT. My boyfriend and I just moved into an apartment a few months ago, and the shower was really bad. I tried so many products, then I found this and tried it. And although it says leave on for 5-6 hours it started working VERY QUICKLY. So much progress was made, I will definitely be using and recommending this again!" —Wendy Pal

Promising review: "Immediately after putting on the posture corrector I could feel how terrible my posture was. I wore it for about a half an hour and could feel the pressure relief in my shoulders and neck as soon as I took it off. I wear it around the house every day, and now I find myself just naturally having a better posture outside of the house during the day. It's very lightweight and thin enough to wear underneath your shirt or sweater if you wanted to wear it all day." —Richard

Promising review: "I LOVE these mints. They taste great in general and I've had every flavor. I never understood the caffeine crash from coffee that people often complain about, because I used to drink loads of coffee and I didn't really experience one. In fact, I was always tired and I never got much of a caffeine boost. Then I started using these mints. I got a noticeable caffeine boost and I could tell when the boost was slowly fading away, but I never felt tired after. I just felt normal." —Queen Torres

I've had my pink pair for nine months and counting, and I'm never going back to traditional wired buds. In fact, all I can tolerate now is this short wrap-around-the-neck wire! The noise reduction isn't 100%, but it blocks pretty much everything at the office (but if someone talks to me, I won't be startled lol) *and* a dang impressive level of noise on my very loud subway commute to and from work, so I never have to blast my music at an uncomfortably high volume. Also, they blow first-edition AirPods out of the water in terms of noise reduction *and* are wayyyy cheaper, just sayin'. Plus, each charge gives you eight hours of talk/music time, and they only take an hour or two to fully charge. They also have magnetic backs, so they can snap together when you're not using them.
Promising review: "Dude. Want some bang for your buck? At $20-$30 cheaper than your basic wireless Sonys, you can’t beat this. I dare say these sound bettter than the Sony ones! I’m a serious audiophile. I don’t mess around with bad sound. These are every bit worth the price. Sound quality is excellent. I tested it on some bass-heavy tracks and noticed the high end was still very well defined. If your considering buying those, don’t doubt yourself. You will be well satisfied. Zero remorse." —Amazon Customer

That's my hair right there! As you can see, it really picks up all of the annoyingly too-short hairs near the nape of my neck that I can't gather into a high ponytail or bun. (Don't mind the remaining front-framing wispies in the "after" photo — those are there on purpose!) There is one main caveat though: I only use it if I know I'll be washing my hair either that night or the next, since it does still ~stiffen~ the areas of hair I use it on — but it's better than hairspray, in my opinion *and* the reviewer's opinion down below. Some reviewers say that they can just brush the gel out, but I'd prefer to just wash it out.
Promising review: "I cannot put my hair up in a high pony or bun now *without* using this product. It truly tames every flyaway and keeps them tame for hours — I come home after a nine-hour day and they’re still in place. I have a fifteen-month-old baby and have had crazy postpartum hair growth, especially along my hairline near my forehead, and this product has been a godsend." —HeatherH

Promising review: "I started using Weekend Glow about five weeks ago and I love it! It's not only exfoliating but also pretty hydrating so I was able to use it after washing my face both day and night. I had a crazy break out from traveling right before I started using weekend glow so I had a fresh new set of post acne marks. After a two weeks of using the toner the marks were notably lighter." —mcsaez1991

Each spike can be used for 30-60 days, depending on the season. The reviewer pics above are all of the same plant — the far left photo shows how the plant in its droopy, original state, the middle photo is a slightly perkier plant just 10 days later, and the right photo shows the happy, lifted, and healthy result after three weeks!
Promising review: "I always kill my plants but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial), and the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was at a great price." —Victoria

These babies go perfectly under makeup, if you wear it, and form a ~protection bubble~ around the pimples, so they're not exacerbated by your foundation.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself, and your complexion, huge favor! Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." —Caitlyn

Promising review (for the above photos): "I ordered this brush hoping it would be able to clean my faux-suede boots after a night of dancing in the dirt! To my surprise (but huge relief!), this small but handy brush got the job done! 98% of the dirt came off and even though my boots aren’t as dark black as they were before, this brush has allowed them to be wearable again! Five stars!" —Melissa

Promising review: "I love this slicer! I rarely write reviews, but this literally changed my life. I have fibromyalgia and have trouble gripping things. I also have a host of tiny scars on my hands from cutting myself instead of the vegetables. I am stunned by how easy this is to use, and the protection it gives my hands! And it's low-tech! And it cleans easily! I'm still having trouble believing that a $13 product is doing so much to make my life easier and more painless." —Theresa

Promising review: "I love this conditioner! I saw it on BuzzFeed and figured I’d give it a shot. I use it every time I wash my hair. It dosen't weigh my hair down, and my hair is so soft after. I absolutely love it. I just ordered another bottle. I wish it came in a bigger size, but I would recommend this. I have wavy thick hair, you don’t need a ton of product, and it smells nice as well. The packaging is also very cute." —Jess Hunt

Just be careful because any longer than three minutes can turn your hair purple! Unless you want a color change. 😎 Also, you can wear gloves to avoid it staining your hands!
Promising review: "This stuff is no joke. It got all the brassy out in one wash! Don’t leave it on too long or it will tint your hair purple. I kept it on four minutes and I had light purple streaks in my hair for a few days! This is the best and most powerful purple shampoo I used. I bought it on a whim after reading a BuzzFeed article with it, the price was great so I figured I’d give it a shot. I’ve tried every purple shampoo, most were crazy expensive and didn’t work half as well. It also doesn’t dry my hair out the way most do. Now this is the only one I will use!" —D

Promising review: "I have tried EVERYTHING, but because I am barefoot all the time, my heels crack (gross!!!)...a lot. Sometimes they split open and it can be incredibly painful. I've tried creams, lotions, oils, you name it. Based on the reviews on Amazon, I thought I would give this foot cream a try, because I had recently had a split appear and it was super painful to walk on. After about three days of applying this cream at bedtime, the pain started to go away because my skin was finally soft enough to heal. It leaves a weird residue on your hands after application, which can be easily washed off, but it made all the difference for my normally cracked and dry heels. I notice I get much better results when I use it daily, so if you skip a few days, you'll notice it doesn't work as well. Consistency is key, but it really does work!" —Faith Mendelson
Plus! There's an adjustable vent that regulates humidity, so your produce stays ~crisp~ (there's an illustrated guide on the vent inside, so you know the optimal position for different types of food). P.S. A carbon filter lasts 90 days, but you can buy a four-pack of refills for $15.28.
Promising review: "Every week we have things like carrots, sugar snap peas, green beans, lettuce, grapes, and blueberries all in our fridge at once, but by the end of the week, things start to get a little ugly. It's hard enough to get my family to eat vegetables without them getting slimey by the end of the week. These new containers have been great! Not a single vegetable gets slimey! All of our fruits and vegetables last much longer in these, and I love that I can actually wash the food using the green insert and it drains instead of leaving a pool. We put the vegetables and grapes in this medium size bin and berries in the smaller size bin. I also love that our fridge ends up looking so tidy and organized while still being able to see everything." —Allison

And despite its intense nature, it's totally gentle enough for sensitive skin and it's packed with calming ingredients like honey, black willow, and aloe.
Promising review: "My skin is visibly smoother and brighter, and I feel like the rest of the products I use are working better because there’s less dead skin cells to get passed. I have been doing the 10-step routine for six months with wonderful results, but I felt like I had hit a plateau. Now with this exfoliating gel added to my arsenal, I have hit a new level of skin happiness." —Piano L.

Over 2,000 reviewers swear by it for good hair days!
Promising review: "This is the most amazing hair serum I have ever used in my life. I skeptically tried a sample pack given to me by this lady at the mall, expecting it to just be yet another hair serum. But wow, was I wrong. It smells awesome, the scent lasts all day (as opposed to only about an hour with other serums), and it makes my hair the softest it's ever felt. I can't stop playing with my hair all day long — that's how soft it is. I put this stuff in right before straightening, and it literally cuts my straightening time in half. Not that my hair takes long to straighten anyway (normally about 10 minutes), but this stuff lets me straighten my hair in five minutes tops. I've tried countless hair serums in the past, and literally nothing compares. I'm completely sold, and I'll be buying this stuff for the rest of my life. Love it." —Holly

And you know what they won't do? They *won't* dig into your shoulders or ribs, give you under-boob rashes, or just generally feel uncomfortable to wear all friggin' day long!

Promising review: "I have always hated bras, but they are a necessary evil for me...so I usually just stick to sports bras. I have struggled to find ones that not only fit right, but have the amount of hold and comfort I need. These are the best of all worlds! They aren't too tight but give the right amount of support. They fit my cup size perfectly (I ordered the 3XL), and the colors work under all my clothes." —Rachel Anderson

Promising review: "Holy cow! This stuff WORKS! I had been using regular packing tape to patch up my screen door that was riddled with holes and tears, but those mosquitoes were making their way in...and it looked terrible. I picked up a roll of this just to check it out and, man, the repair is practically like I installed a new screen! I did install it on the outside (I think it works better that way), and my door looks MUCH more normal now, and without a single weak spot." —Steven

Promising review: "This is the only thing that works for me. I'm 44 and for the past four years, my skin has been throwing a hissy fit. No matter what I tried, my pores were screaming through my makeup. Makeup sinking into the pores will turn any good foundation into a pool party on your face. Finally a month ago I found No Pore Blem and for me it really works. I have combo-dry skin, weather depending. I do not find it makes my skin oily, but maybe it's not friendly to all skin types, specifically oily. My foundation sets nicely over it (no sinking) and stays on for about eight hours before needing a touchup. And of course my pores are barely visible!! I'm happy." —KPak

And bonus, you save money over time too — one organic makeup remover pad can apparently be used up to 1000 times!! Pro tip: Some reviewers hand wash the pads with soap and water after *each* use in addition to tossing them in the washer every week or so, which helps with any off-white discoloration.
Promising review: "These are really nice, and a must if you are eco-conscious! I use a cleansing balm to assist in removing my makeup and this balm requires a cloth to fully remove the balm/makeup from your skin. They’re much better than using disposable cotton rounds since they don’t fall apart, and they’re softer than a traditional washcloth. This bamboo fabric is super soft and durable. It feels good on the skin and gently but thoroughly wipes away your makeup and cleansers. I absolutely LOVE that it comes with a garment bag so that you don’t lose them in the washing machine. I choose to wash these in the cold delicate cycle. I totally recommend these!! I think they’re a great value!" —Phillip A. Rzewski
