Promising review: "First of all, I sit for hours at a time for, and I always complain about my back or bottom hurting. Well, once I started sitting on this memory foam cushion, I noticed a difference right away. And I was still comfortable sitting after a few hours. The cushion is large and fits my entire chair seat. I am happy it works and is large enough for all of me!! The cushion also has a zipper on back so the cover can be removed and washed." —AkaPurple

Promising review: "My favorite thing about my Fire tablet is that I can download Libby or Overdrive from the app store and then check out books from my library for FREE. There, I can download books in Kindle format, PDF, EPUB and MP3 Audiobooks. Through the library app, they all function seamlessly. You cannot get all those formats on a regular Amazon e-reader without doing several extra steps.
You can also download apps, games, music, access the internet via wifi, and expand the downloadable memory with a micro SD card. I can't recommend a Fire tablet enough." —Kindle Customer

This ~balanced~ kit comes with a yoga mat, a yoga block, a yoga strap, and a beginner's DVD.
Promising review: "I am not very limber and I have chronic spine issues, so having a block and strap was essential for me to do yoga. Before using this, I always ended up hurting myself or feeling bad about myself because I couldn't complete the stretches and would just give up. This kit made everything go so smoothly; I can adjust the block or the strap to help me stretch without hurting myself (or falling over). And I highly recommend the sitting techniques in the DVD as well as the meditation." —blightheavy

Promising review: "I especially love that the monthly layout, goals, income, savings, with planned/actual budget sheets are all in a visually appealing two-page layout. Being able to see my due dates at the same time as my budget helps me to ensure everything is on the calendar.
I also love the expense tracker pages for accountability and awareness. And I really appreciate the goals, mind mapping, strategy and monthly review setup. There is also an annual payment tracker in the back that is very useful, since I try to optimize savings by selecting annual options and this keeps me on track." —Denise

Promising review: "This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for. It is super comfortable to use in bed and in the recliner that I typically write from. I am a writer who primarily sits with my laptop directly in my lap, and this is perfect for my needs. It has a slot for my phone, but I could also prop some pens, a small pad, or other various items in there depending on what I needed. The mousepad area is great." —birchwood29

Promising review: "I bought my brother-in-law a subscription to Atlas, and he loves it! He's always seeking out new beans on his own, so this was the perfect way to give him a variety of beans from different cultures around the world without him having to do anything! And on top of the convenience of the delivery, the coffee is amazing quality! So tasty!" —Becky L

Promising review: "I normally can't sleep for long periods of time, and I usually spend most of the night tossing and turning nonstop. This blanket is a game-changer. The weight instantly makes a difference, and I feel like I'm inside a cocoon. The first time I used it, I was out like a light in minutes and slept for about six hours, which is a huge deal since I would normally only get three or four hours." —OZMANCOMETH

Promising review: "I love the finish on the bottle! I hate holding wet water bottles and this does NOT sweat! It is easy to carry, so it’s very easy to get my full water intake on the go! Easy to clean, wide enough for bottle brushes, and the straw stays put. I also love how I just push the little button by the mouthpiece and it just pops open quick for easy drinking (if you’re driving and don’t need to be messing around opening bottles 😉). Highly recommend this water bottle. For the price, it’s amazing! Keeps my water cool for hours, too." —Alicia

Promising review: "Great cold brew system! I wish we had bought it sooner! This system is so easy to use. Just add your coffee of choice and water, place it in the fridge, and wait for the next day. That's it!! So easy, great tasting coffee that goes far enough for two of us. It easily fits on a refrigerator shelf or door. We're considering buying a second because of how much coffee my husband drinks!" —Jessica M.

Promising review: "We have been using this board monthly for about three years. I use a variety of color markers, and all of it comes off at the end of the month with a little bit of windex or rubbing alcohol. Each day is big enough for four lines of small text, and the side of the board is perfect for reminders and shopping lists." —Liz

Promising review: "If you consider yourself proficient in Excel, then you'll benefit from these. I was skeptical at first, but 10-12 hours staring at thousands of tiny little cells was leaving me with tired eyes. These glasses take care of that. Now I can work 14 hours a day." —Ricky Danzanito

Promising review: "These do exactly as they say — block the light completely and help to muffle sound. I live next to a busy highway, and as soon as I put these up, it sounded like the highway was far in the distance. I track my sleep every night, and since I've had these curtains I've gone from a 60%-70% quality of sleep to 90%+ every single night. Highly recommend!" —Nichole

Promising review: "I recently have gotten into meal prepping as I have a long commute to work and not much time for cooking. This journal is perfect! It helps me plan my weekly meals and shopping lists, as well as keep track of expenses and other factors. I also like the reference pages of vitamins, seasonal produce, and snack ideas. This will definitely get a lot of use throughout the year and is high quality. I love it!" —Kimberly

Promising review: "I’ve never been a 'morning person' and alarm clocks have historically been loud and obnoxious options to waking up, so I decided to try this. Now, it hasn’t made me suddenly cheerful in the morning, but it’s definitely a more calming alternative.
Other than the obvious reasons for trying this kind of clock, this particular one has many awesome settings! It has multiple levels of brightness and different colors. It can also double as a sound machine that can play soothing sounds at night. When using the alarm function, the sunrise comes on 10 minutes before the alarm goes off. You can also plug your phone into it for charging. I love the versatility of this alarm clock. You should get it." —JRRInBoston

Promising review: "I love the Squatty Potty and you will too. It works like a charm. You will wonder how you got along without it all these years. Think 'Laundry Chute.' That's the best way I can explain it. You will have more time on your hands now that you own a Squatty Potty. You go into the bathroom and you are out in seconds." —campromise

Promising review: "I work long hours, and I am not a big coffee or soda drinker. These help me stay alert!! Each flavor tastes great and two mints is all it takes. You will feel alert without the jitters or a crash when the caffeine wears off. Two mints have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. They are perfect for me." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This tea is a great option if you want something a bit stronger than black tea, but more mellow than coffee/espresso! Drinking this tea is like turning the lights up on life! Sipping on this tea gives me the option to titrate the amount of caffeine, as needed. I can make a small cup and down it all at once to wake up, focus, and get warm. OR, I can sip it slowly and put my caffeine on a slow drip throughout the morning. No caffeine jitters or crash. No problem going to sleep at night when I drink this in the afternoon. No caffeine headaches either. I can't wait to try the other flavors!" —Teresa

Promising review: "They're comfortable enough to wear all day. I use them to edit corporate video in a noisy cube farm. Buying this set saves you a great deal of money and the performance punches way above its weight class. The battery life seems good. I get a whole eight hour shift out of them plus an hour or two of gaming or movies at home and they never die. Just charge them overnight and they're ready for the next day no problem. I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing again." —James Conlin

Promising review: "This is more than just a planner: it's really a whole system to help you refocus your life around what you really want. It also comes with a 13 week poster for you to track your progress in your bedroom or office on top of the journal itself.
The journal has basically been perfect for me. The weekly trackers give you a space to track up to six habits and even set the number of days you actually want to work on those habits. It has brag spaces for the big weekly wins and your happiest moment, as well as reflection space to note what you'd like to do better next week. As a creative, this has really helped me get my life back on track. Highly recommended for folks who have some more intense goals they want to make space for in their lives." —Ashleigh Gauch

It fits my large Galaxy S9 Plus, and the table clamp at the base is adjustable to fit different size tables and surfaces. It's very durable, and the arm is difficult to move, which keeps the whole thing in place very well. Not easy to slip or accidentally move." —xkarafsx

I love that each day can snap in and out so I can use it like a shot glass for my medication. It holds my vitamins, omega 3s and nighttime prescriptions without any issue. This is the one to get." —Lauren Stark

Promising review: "I'm a very slow tea/coffee drinker, so having this mini hot plate is amazing. I can have hot tea until the last sip! Life-changing. I use it every day. I'm using it as I write this review. I drink more tea because I know it won't get cold and sad. My roommates all want one now." —PDT
