Promising review: "These holders are great. Helped clean up my small laundry and added more floor space. Easy to install and they stick and hold great, plus the price is great." —Melissa H.

Promising review: "I’m not one to review products but this one is worth sharing! Our freezer doesn’t have an ice maker and it’s been frustrating using the ice cube molds we bought last year. I saw this on TikTok and it was such a good purchase. You freeze two trays and they easily break out into the plastic bin that comes with it (and a little scooper). They’re little round ice balls and they’re so cute and they fit in just about everything. I hate having ice exposed to the freezer smells so I love that it came with a bin to store the ice in." —Sierra White

Promising review: "This is literally the best. My hair got to a point where I would wash it and it would get greasy the next morning, but this literally reset my hair. Now my favourite thing in the world." —Annika S.

Promising review: "This has been a life saver! I have sensitive skin and have had no issues with this. It’s not greasy at all but still super hydrating." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love this!! It’s a great addition to my kitchen. I’ve put it in the dishwasher and it was fine after. Only problem? I had a gumbo night and my friends were too scared to use it because of how cute it was… literally put the spoon on the oven right BESIDE IT!!" —Ashlynn Lutz

This has three different functions (cleansing, lifting, and smoothing) and is best to use when your skin is still damp!

Promising review: "Love this tool! I recently got a professional facial and they used a tool like this one on me! I was so intrigued that I had to purchase one for myself! The price point is amazing and it does the job. Once I used it, I noticed I was able to exfoliate my skin nicely and get some extractions from my clogged pores on my nose and chin. I then used it with a serum, which was nice and how it was used during my facials. Can’t wait to use it more! There are tons of different ways to use it! Great price for a great tool!" —Stephanie Nelson

Promising review: "Durable, but flexible heavy cardstock covers. Each page has a little gold-tone flourish at the bottom. Beautiful cover designs as pictured." —Angie C.

Promising review: "Don’t hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color and as soon as I tried it on I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn’t have a built-in bra, but it’s lined. You could put on a bra with this if you’d like but there’s no need. It’s cropped but still long enough that it doesn’t roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I’ll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it’s just that incredible." —Danijtate

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors).

Promising review: "This bra is amazing. I am pregnant and been struggling to find a bra that is comfortable and supportive. It is not itchy at all, it’s like a boob cloud. I bought a large — I’m 5'1, 133 lbs, 21 weeks pregnant, and a size 34DD." —Makayla stack

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in sizes S–4X and various color and pack combinations).

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim and I have no regrets! It smells delicious — like toasted almonds and almond cookies! I use the lip scrub before bed, and I could immediately tell the difference. My lips are smoother and softer, and my chapstick lasts much longer on my lips. I made my husband use it once, and his lips were also much smoother and super soft after just one use!" —Cowie

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "The connection was easy to set up and the sound is clear. I used this for an eight-hour road trip without any problems and I was able to answer many phone calls while traveling." —Taz

Pro tip: Apply just a bit of product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to a sheen of white residue.

Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa

Promising review: "Love these candles! Don't be deterred by the candles out the box, though they are mostly white on the outside there are lots of primary color pockets on the inside. They do take a while to burn (three to four hours by my count) but the results are by far worth being patient for. As the flame works through the candle, the primary color pockets blend with the white as well as with each other to create a wide range of colors... I've seen yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, greens, and blues on my finished bottles." —5ammosh

Promising review: "Do you have a lot of plants? Are they crowded together and hard to see where on pot begins? Or bushy plants that spread out low and wide? These will help in all of these situations. My plants are happy and my floors are dry." —k gannon

Promising review: "This is the first time I’ve tried dry brushing, and I was pretty skeptical. My skin is fairly sensitive, so I thought for sure it would be irritated after trying it, but I’ve been very pleasantly surprised. The bristles aren’t so stiff that it’s painful or irritating, and my skin feels much softer after using the brush. Good brush for beginners!" —Jordan

Get it from Amazon for $7.24+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I have very hard water and we are constantly battling lime buildup on our faucets. This stuff really helps break it down so it can be scrubbed away. I also used it on a stainless pan that my husband unfortunately scorched. After a year of living with a blackened bottom, this stuff left it gleaming and looking brand new! I plan on tackling the grimy sheet pans next." —Brimming Bookshelves

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two scents).

Psst, two Energizer batteries are included!

Promising review: "I bought this for travel and dim hotels. Perfect solution! It's not too large, the clip works easily, and I've used it for about 15 hours and the battery is still going strong!" —Patricia

Some reviewers say it's great for camouflaging grays, if you're into that.

Promising review: "I have naturally dark, chestnut hair and I had gotten tired of the expense of coloring in the salon and the damage it was doing to my hair. I spent the last year growing out all the damage from highlights and color. My hair was healthy and shiny, but it started getting gray! This provided unbelievable results. Not only did this camouflage the gray hairs by tinting them blonde, but it gave my overall natural color a rich, lustrous shine. This is well worth the money." —Lisa Combs

Get it from Amazon for $12.58 (also available in two-packs).

Promising review: "My tub/shower drain stopper broke and was going to cost $200-600 to replace as the entire drain and pipe connections had to be removed and replaced. That was not in my budget and I searched for an alternative to the black hole that had become my drain. This inexpensive little TubShroom drain protector and hair catcher dropped right down into the 'black hole,'stayed in place, looked nice (white against my white tub/shower) and works great! The water drains out (no pooling and creating a small lake in my tub as I shower, with the hair caught around TubShroom." —Kael

Luv Scrub is a Black woman-owned business founded by Caroline Owusu-Ansah, who is introducing people to West African methods of mesh exfoliation one customer at a time. This product is so popular it's often sold out, so go go go!

"I'm so obsessed with this exfoliator that I'm just choosing to forget all the years I lived without it. First of all, it suds up my body wash like nobody's business — I probably have to use about a quarter as much of it now to get really sudsy good coverage. It's flexible and extendable, which makes it ridiculously easy to reach places all over my body, in particular my shoulders and back. You can bunch it up to your preferred thickness if you want more of a light exfoliation or a deeper one in different places of your body. As someone who has had bumpy and rough skin on my arms, I noticed a MASSIVE difference in the smoothness of my skin from the very first use. I also just love the pop! of pink in my shower, it makes me happy to look at it." —Emma Lord

Promising review: "I had my doubts but I thought, what the heck, for the price I'd give them a try. I am in real estate and known as a lighting snob. The first thing I look at in a kitchen if there is under-cabinet lighting. These are so nice (it helps if you have a lip at the bottom of your cabinets) They are a true white, very bright, and I was lucky they were just the length I needed. I just ordered a set and had them shipped to my mom's as her halogen transformer, which is buried in a wall, fried and it drives me nuts that the workspace on the counter is dark. I can't wait until I make the 250-mile drive to install them. I may buy more just to use at our listings!" —pauly
