I’m not sure what is in here besides magic, but it is really cool! These packets last for a long time. I didn’t have a timer because we were camping, but we put two packets in the fire, and it lasted through all of the scary stories. We even had to put it out because we were going to bed.
I would highly recommend this product for any bonfire/ campfire you have coming up!" — Amazon Customer Get six packets from Amazon for $6.94 . 2.
A pair of claw shredders you'll want to get your ~paws~ on ASAP for all of your meat carving and pulling needs. These babies tear through, creating effortless (and delicious!) pulled pork, chicken, and brisket to make prepping for those barbecues sooooo much easier. Promising review: "These claws are just what you need for shredding pork, chicken, beef or any other items.
The points are sharp, narrow, and long and work well as a pair. It's much more efficient and quicker than using two forks. I thought I might have been a little extravagant in ordering this but now I realize it is very useful beyond shredding — e.
g., holding a watermelon with one hand/claw as you cut with the other hand." — J.

True to size" — Amazon Customer Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot..
.and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain.
They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." — Han Lin Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles).
4. The Owala Freesip , which might be coming out victorious in The Battle of the Best Insulated Bottle (looking at you, Stanley and Hydroflask!). Why, you ask? It has a built-in straw you can sip out of *and* a wide-mouth spout for tip-back drinking — all covered by an easy push-button lid to keep everything grime-free and leakproof.
And like all insulated bottles, it's designed to keep cold things COLD for 24 hours. Aaaand it has a carry loop for easy toting!

Promising review: " I literally will never have another bottle besides Owala . Everyone is Stanley this, Hydroflask that.
But Owala is where it's at. This free sip thing they've got going on is magical. I can sip, or I can chug — and in this Texas heat sometimes you just need to chug that ice water.
It's super cute with my stickers on it, the locking handle is awesome because I can toss this thing in my car seat or onto my couch or bed and it WON'T LEAK. I'm telling you — everyone needs an Owala bottle." — Caroline Moore Promising review: "I will tell you that we own every brand of metal tumbler they make: Hydroflask, Stanley, Lululemon, Yeti and Owala.
They all do their job and keep your drinks cold for the day. BUT I was shocked to see that my daughter's Owala that I filled on Friday was not only still cold but had ICE in it on Monday morning!! Owala for the win!!" — Loves to shop Get the 32-ounce size from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in 16, 24, and 40-ounce sizes and 22 colors).

Promising review: "Magic in a bottle. I saw results the first time I used this. I had a mild breakout of small red bumps that I, of course, picked at and made 100 times worse.
..nothing I was using made a difference, and the bumps kept coming back.
Suffice it to say, I searched Amazon for butt acne solutions, and this was one I came across. Because of the reviews, I figured I had nothing to lose. I'm so glad I did because, as I said, the first night made a huge difference, and since I’ve done am and night, after I shower.
No new breakouts and completely cleared skin. I can’t thank the makers enough for this product. This will be a part of my daily skin routine going forward.

Promising review : "WHAT SORCERY IS THIS? I just immediately came to write this review because this stain remover just BLEW my mind. This product was so hyped by a well-known influencer, but for some reason, I got Deft instead, which was basically useless, and I hated the strong powdery smell.
I finally got Miss Messy Mouth's and just used it on some blueberry stains. I wet the spot and sprayed this on it, and the stain LITERALLY DISAPPEARED before my eyes like magi c. I actually was so shocked that I looked at the ingredients and it's so simple, with none of the chemicals I expected.
My mind is BLOWN...
.!!! I'm actually going to get the bigger size and use the small one I got for my diaper bag..
. I am SO impressed. Some reviews do warn that this can bleach your clothes so I did rinse it out immediately after with water and will launder with the rest of my laundry later.

I’ve been eyeing this tool for some time now and finally pulled the trigger, and I’m beating myself up for not doing it sooner. I have pulled 10 gallons of dandelions out of my yard in about two hours. This is pure magic.
It’s actually fun to pull weeds. In the past, I would try to rid myself of dandelions with broadleaf spray, but it never worked, and I wasted my money. This works every time and cuts chemical use! Win-win! Just buy it already and thank yourself later!" — Amy Get it from Amazon for $44.

Promising review: "Super dress! Looks basic, when you take it out, of the packaging. Put it on; it’s magic!" — Heidi Hall Promising review: "I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version. But read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected.
I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look definitely get a size smaller as it is very stretchy . I'm 5ft tall so this is a bit long on me even when I wear heels.
In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me! Would recommend this dress.

After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic. I don’t see bugs flying around, but they do seem to be appearing at alarming rates on the sticky pad. Either they’re teleporting from outside directly onto the sticky pad, or this thing attracts them and catches them so fast that they didn’t have a chance to annoy me.

Works like magic." — Shopbills Promising review: "We had a terrible mosquito problem at our new house and the mosquitos were huge (we live in Texas!). We could not be outside without about 8–10 attacking us and we did not want to have to spray our bodies with anything, so we had to run indoors.
I created a mosquito bait trap by getting a large container and filling it with water and adding a bog plant. Mosquitoes love standing water! While I waited for Amazon to deliver these dunks I noticed mosquitoes were loving the water and laying eggs, so there were tons of larvae in there just waiting to grow into big mosquitoes and attack us, too. The dunks arrived and I dropped half of one in the water and the next morning the larvae in there were all dead, and so were some mosquitoes!! And the mosquito population attacking us dropped from 5–10 per person to just 1 now and then!!! The bog plant is fine! I love that these dunks are safe for birds, too, because I recommended these to friends who have a bubbling urn and a terrible mosquito problem.
They used one in the urn and it cut down on the mosquito population and the birds can still safely stop by for a drink, as can squirrels." — BGuhl Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.47 .

Reviewers say it's similar to the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops! Promising review: "Magic! I am blown away by how good this product is.
I really didn’t expect much from it, to be honest. It covers like a BB cream and has a pretty dewy finish. I originally got it to put under makeup as a moisturizer/glowy finish, but I just wear it alone mostly because it looks so nice.
For reference, I wore Dr Jarts BB cream before, so not a heavy foundation. I find it similar to that coverage but a fraction of the cost." — Britt Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for seven months and I ’ve been complimented almost weekly about how I get my skin to look so dewy and glowy.

This blanket cools me down and makes me super comfortable even on 95-degree days." — lizzy Promising review: "I run really hot and I have tried so many various blankets. Well I am here to tell you, this is the one you need.
I live in the southwest where temps exceed 110 degrees regularly in the summer. I used to wake up sweaty every single morning, even with the AC on. Well come to this blanket and WOW, No more waking up sweating, you can ACTUALLY feel the cooling.
Almost feels as if the blanket has a built in AC. This is the blanket to get, stop searching and just order it. I promise you'll like it.

And! A set of two cooling pillowcases made with similar cooling fibers so you don't have to keep flipping your pillow to the cool side dozens of times on those most scorching nights — these are always the cool side. Promising review: "Cools like total freaky MAGIC!!!! Bought another set a week later because we live them so much!!!" — Midlyfcrysis Promising review : "Super happy with these pillowcases — both sides are fairly cool, but the cooling side never warms up, which is wonderful in 110-degree California summers . They do not smell (something I worry about with nontraditional linen fabrics).
They do tend to get a little wrinkly, but since they zip up, they quickly smooth out." — Tonia Get them from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in standard, queen, and king sizes and nine colors).
32. A pair of metatarsal pads to add some extra cushion to your high heels before that big event you have coming up. They're the thickness of four stacked credit cards to provide comfort for the balls of your feet without changing the fit of your shoe, have adhesive backing so they won't slip and slide while you're on the dance floor, and even can absorb sweat.
Promising review: "Works well, great design and superb comfort. The package had two sets. The adhesive held well to the insole of the original shoe, and lasted through the event I needed to try to survive.
I am NOT a regular heel wearer, because they're usually so uncomfortable, but this little magic insole made the evening much smoother and more enjoyable to my feetsies, and I didn't ditch my expensive heels in the corner midway through the evening and run barefoot as I usually do. I'll be purchasing additional sets for my other heels!" — Katie Gates Get a set of two pairs from Amazon for $9.97 (available in beige, black, and clear).
33. One/Size's On 'Til Dawn waterproof setting spray , which gives a matte finish and all-day hold to your makeup look, whether you're dripping sweat or even getting a refreshing dip in the pool! Promising review: "Best purchase I've made. I am a very sweaty person and I live in Miami.
You can imagine how hard it is for me to keep my makeup intact. This thing works magic. It is amazing how my makeup stays for so long, even when it’s a hot day out.
" — Isa9917 Promising review: " HYPERHIDROSIS GAME CHANGER!!!!!! I don’t know how I ever lived without this product. Not only does my sweating not make the slightest smudge, but I even went swimming and still had flawless makeup. " — southerngirl55 Get it from Sephora for $32 (or $17 for the mini).
34. An oscillating tower fan one reviewer nicknamed "THE GLACIER" *and* said is "better than your air conditioner." (I'm immediately sold.
) It has six speeds — up to 24 feet per second velocity — and three modes, and reviewers agree that it's super quiet. Installing a window air conditioner can be scary..
.all you have to do is plug this in! It's sleek and narrow, so it won't take up a ton of space in your room, and it looks surprisingly cool! It comes with a remote control so you can turn it on from your bed, and the LED lights turn off in sleep mode, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed. Promising review: "Cools like magic! Great fan.
It’s super hot this summer and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet.
Durable thus far and it has ran 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn’t think the remote was a big deal but now I wouldn’t want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again.
" — Javygirl Promising review: "I am elderly and live in Texas, where we have 100+-degree heat on a daily basis in the summer. This is, hands down, the best and most powerful fan I have experienced. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my sister, who is heat-sensitive.
She got rid of the two tower fans she was using as this fan cooled her room." — TJ Get it from Amazon for $89.99 .
35. Or if you are actually in need of some true AC, a portable Black & Decker air conditioner (that also works as a dehumidifier and fan) with all the power and cooling you need, without any permanent changes — you can even move it easily from room to room as needed. And reviewers note it's much cheaper than running central air! It comes with a window kit for easy installation, too! Promising review: "Incredible portable AC unit.
This unit is a hoss. It is the only one we have gotten that cools our bedroom in under 30 minutes. We have tried at least three other units that were too weak, too loud, or failed after a few weeks.
Stop looking around and get this one." — Andrew Promising review: "I don't pay a separate electricity bill for my non-air conditioned graduate student housing apartment. That said, this has been the best thing I've bought in years.
There was no way I was going to work from home when it is 100+ outside, 3 fans or not. I have a small bedroom and keep the door closed and have reflective coverings on the windows. I didn't expect magic from this window AC unit but when you can't sleep because of the heat, can't take a cold shower because the water doesn't even get "room temp", it is basically magic .
I rearranged my whole room so my pillow is about a foot away, and I sleep like a baby. However, I went from 3 fans blowing directly on me to this AC unit so it is not that hard to be quieter." — Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $439.
99 (available in 8,000 and 10,000, and 14,000 BTU versions, plus a version that also functions as a heater). 36. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream , a cult-favorite body cream you're going to want to slather all over your body, thanks to the deep hydration (cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil!) and temporary skin-tightening (caffeine!) it provides, plus a fragrance with notes of salted caramel and vanilla that reviewers L O V E.
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic . Promising review: " This stuff is magic! It smells amazing. Lasts for the entire day.
Doesn't feel greasy. Goes on smoothly. I will definitely be reordering!" — Skittles 79 Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day.
The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life.
Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed my this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." — Michelle Brown Get a 2.
5-ounce jar from Amazon for $22 (also available in an 8-ounce size for $48). And if (when) you do fall in love with the scent, they make tons of other products , including a fragrance ! 37. A pair of insulating blackout curtains to keep annoying sunlight (and the heat it provides) OUT and your precious air conditioning IN — you might be surprised when you see how big of a difference this makes on the temperature during the hottest part of the afternoon! Promising review: "Buy these yesterday.
I get bad migraine headaches and I need a dark room. Rarely are cheap online “blackout” curtains actually fully hotel room level black. These are.
I’m pretty shocked. They’re also lightweight so IDK what kind of sorcery this is..
. but these are awesome." — JLR Promising review: "I started off by buying the same style curtains for my sliding glass door, it's where the sun hits in the afternoon and without running the ac it creates a sauna in my living room.
Well let me tell you, I bought these more for keeping it cooler in the house in the summer as running the ac costs a lot of $$$ where I'm at...
where even setting thermostat to 72 we get a $700 electric bill. I ended buying these that are same style and color for my window in my living room. It keeps the room darker which is nice for movie watching and as of right now it's 90 degrees outside and I'm in the house in light sweatpants, it literally is keeping it that cool in here (along with opening windows early morning then closing before it warms up.
I looked on my electric company website and my projected bill is only $217, which they show being $150 less from this time last year! Loved the price on these as well, much better than I expected!" — Karen Get two panels from Amazon for $21.45+ (available in a variety of sizes and colors). 38.
A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals (from the makers of the TikTok–famous cloud slides! ) if you're looking for serious wear-all-day comfort without spending Birkenstock money. Reviewers say these are quite similar to Birks and indeed, extremely comfy! Prime members: You can try before you buy ! Promising review: "The most comfortable sandals! These are magical. I forget I’m wearing them at times they are so comfortable to walk around in.
True to size" — Amazon Customer Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot..
.and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain.
They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." — Han Lin Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles).
39. A roll-on sunscreen sponge to help you do what you need to do this summer: reapply your sunscreen every two hours. But with this handy lil guy, you can just sponge it right on, and it'll keep your hands mess-free! Idk about you, but I hate that greasy, sunscreen-y feeling on my hands when I'm at the beach.
Reviewers recommend using a thinner sunscreen; if your preferred sunscreen is quite thick, this may not work for you. And JSYK, the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD) says most adults need about an ounce (the size of a shot glass) of sunscreen to adequately cover their face and body — and that's exactly what this holds! Promising review: "If you have a kid (kids) and you need to put on sunscreen on him/her (them) daily (we live in Hawaii), please do yourself a favor and get these!!! It is less of mess for you and your kid(s); the application is easy and even it takes about 20 seconds to do both arms!! Like magic, totally life-changing for our family!!" — Alexander Gonzalez Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (available in six colors and in a two-pack).
40. And if you don't get those, or reapply as often as they suggest, a Burt's Bees sunburn soother so you have it on hand before you get sunburned. Even when we do our best, sometimes it happens! It's made with a blend of aloe and coconut oil for deeply moisturizing relief that *doesn't* feel greasy.
These photos above are four days apart, btw! Promising review: "What is this sorcery? This stuff is amazing. I had a severe sunburn, I was lobster red by the end of the day. I applied this a couple of times that day and the next, and by the next evening, my sunburn had mostly faded to tan.
In ONE day. " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 .
41. A bag of Miracle-Gro water-storing crystals that'll help your plants survive the hottest heatwaves July and August have up their sleeve — or your upcoming long vacation. These babies solve both over- *and* underwatering struggles so your plants thrive — even when your plants are particularly parched.
Just mix in with your soil and the crystals absorb water now and slowly release over time. It works for both indoor and outdoor plants, too! If you don't want to repot your existing plants, just poke holes in the soil and add! Promising review: "These are magic! Just use very sparingly and mix well into the soil per the directions. They swell when water is added and really allow for less frequent watering of both potted and in-ground plants, especially if you live in a location with hot and dry Summer weather.
" — reviewerb Promising review: " I was so worried about my three house plants and what was best to do for them for my three-week vacation, and these were fantastic. When I got home, I was able to take about half of the crystals off the top and put them in the soil of some new plants. I will be mixing these in all my indoor and outdoor potted plants' soil from now on.
Great product for the price!!" — BBLuvsSB Get it from Amazon for $12.23 . 42.
The Scumbug , an absorbent sponge that floats along the surface of your pool or hot tub and absorbs oil, slime, sunscreen residue, and any other buildup that's hanging out and leaving that weird greasy shine on your water surface. When you see the color change, just wring it out, rinse, and it's ready to use again! Promising review: "The Scumbug is a game-changer for hot tub owners. This product is designed to devour scum and other unwanted debris from your hot tub's surface, making maintenance a breeze.
Simply place the sponge in your hot tub, and watch it work its magic. T he sponge effectively removes oils, lotions, and other contaminants, keeping your hot tub clean and pristine. Plus, it's easy to clean and reuse, making it a cost-effective solution for hot tub owners.
If you're looking for a hassle-free way to keep your hot tub clean, the Scumbug is a must-try product." — malom Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99 .
43. A pair of seamless Nippies silicone pasties to solve any wardrobe dilemmas that can't be solved with any of your current bras — or those times you don't feel like wearing a bra at all but also want a little coverage. And fret not, they won't go sliding off even when you're dancing the night away at that outdoor summer wedding in triple-digit temps.
Promising review: "Life-changing nip wizardry! Oh, sweet adhesive nipple covers, where have you been all my life? These magical circles of wonder have transformed my wardrobe game and saved me from countless wardrobe malfunctions. Move over, regular bras – sticky nipple covers are here to steal the show! Let me tell you, these things are like the superhero shields of undergarments. Not only do they bravely shield the world from unexpected peep shows, but they've also become my secret weapon against uncomfortable stares and chilly situations.
It's like having two tiny sidekicks that say, "Not today, awkward moments!" The adhesive is so sticky, it could probably hold together a spaceship in a pinch. No more worries about them slipping off during an impromptu dance-off (you do you, no judgment here). They're like MacGyver – always ready for action, no matter what life throws at them.
I must say, the versatility also surprised me. From daring backless dresses to snug-fitting tops, these covers have fearlessly faced every sartorial challenge I've thrown their way. They're like the unsung heroes – always there, always reliable, and never asking for recognition.
In conclusion, sticky adhesive nipple covers, you have earned your place in my heart (and on my chest). You're not just an accessory; you're a lifestyle. Five stars for keeping the peace, preventing unwanted peek-a-boos, and adding a touch of comedy to my daily dressing routine.
Bravo, nipple covers, bravo!" — Kennedy Promising review: "The best for big boobs. I’m a DD and these have me going braless OFTEN! It’s seamless and I’ve worn them at least 20 times! Totally obsessed with these" — Jennifer Get a set from Amazon for $26.50 (available in five shades and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).
They're also available in a version with a tab on top for added lift ! Get them from Amazon for $33 . 44. A racerback bodysuit in a second skin–like fabric (called Smoke Cloud) reviewers compare to Skims and love for being buttery soft and *not* see-through.
And once you fall in love with this sleeveless style, don't worry; it comes in tons of sleeve lengths and necklines! And btw, reviewers say the double lining in the torso is supportive, so they don't need to wear a bra. Promising review: "SKIMS WHO?! I am truly amazed by the quality of this bodysuit. They are so good that have purchased them in multiple colors! I own many items from Skims, so I was able to compare.
These bodysuits are exact [lookalikes] for the Fits Everybody bodysuits, for a fraction of the price!!!! They even use the same materials/percentage of the FEC bodysuits. Stop looking, and grab these! Customer service is A1 btw!" — Cat Promising review: "Hello magic. Wow!!! This bodysuit is AMAZING!!! The fabric, fit, everything! I now understand the hype and will be ordering more TODAY! It is so soft and slightly pulls you in and smooths things out.
10/10!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 15 colors). It's also available in a long-sleeve style , and check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here .
45. A Trtl travel pillow , which is a must for your upcoming multi-hour flights this summer, so you're actually rested when you get to your destination. Why waste precious carry-on space with bulky neck pillows when reviewers like this better ?! It folds up thin and compact, and when you're ready to use, just wrap it around your neck — underneath the soft fleece is an internal support structure designed to keep your head in a comfy position for sleeping upright.
Promising review: "After many years using the regular travel pillows and feel like it was me that I could not sleep with them, I finally discovered that the problem is them! This is what I really needed; it fully supports my neck and allows me to sleep in a vertical position, pure magic! Also it includes a bag to carry it, that you can attach to your handbag or backpack, and I love the materials, both the pillow and the bag." — Patricia Get it from Amazon for $64.99 .
46. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes , which are designed to reduce excess sweating for *up to seven days*(!!). Just swipe on before bed, and kiss those pit stains that ruin your favorite shirts goodbye.
They're designed to be used for under the arms, but reviewers use them elsewhere too! Each box lasts two months! Promising review: "What is this sorcery? I've only used this product for two weeks, but I love it so far! I am an excessive sweater and ruin all my light colored shirts. This stuff keeps me dry during inactivity and reduces the sheer amount of sweat when I get hot or work out. I haven't had ANY sweat stains on my shirts (not when working out) since starting this product.
It worked immediately (well, the next day with nighttime application). I can't wait to tell all my sweaty friends." — Hil Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.
99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 47. Missha's Soft Finish Sun Milk , which works as a sunscreen and a primer at the same time.
It has SPF50+, skin barrier–protecting ingredients, and a weightlessly smooth finish that sits beautifully under makeup, so you won't feel like you have a heavy, greasy layer on your face when you're already feeling sweaty. In the progression photos above, you can see a reviewer before applying the sun milk, after applying the sun milk, and then the sun milk under makeup. It is a mineral sunscreen (and untinted), so when it comes to a white cast, YMMV — some reviewers noticed one, many didn't! Promising review: " Every single sunscreen I’ve ever tried has broken me out — except this one.
It keeps my face more matte than any mattifying primer I’ve used too. I still get greasy and have to use oil blotting sheets several times a day, but this still helps some with it. UNLIKE every other BS “mattifying” product I’ve tried.
It smells nice when you put it on, and the smell fades very quickly. I have not gotten even a slight burn while wearing this, and it does not irritate my rosacea in the slightest. This is seriously the most wonderful sunscreen in the world.
It’s like magic. I no longer have any desire whatsoever to keep looking for a HG sunscreen. I’ve found it.
If your skin is sensitive, acne-prone, or if you have rosacea, this is worth a try. Oh, also, my skin HATES silicones. I mean hates them — we’re talking massive pimples within a couple hours of application.
But this is so soothing, it actually calms any inflammation that I have going on down a bit, and no clogged pores or cystic breakouts. I don’t know how they did it, but this is amazing." — Lindsay Get it from Amazon for $17.
48 . 48. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter that's not only great for daily dust particles and pollen, but can really come in handy during wildfire season in the summertime too! Promising review: "I have four dogs that sleep in my bedroom with me.
I shut my bedroom door at night to keep them out of trouble. I have been waking up so stuffed up with a dry mouth, and of course, my bedroom smells like dog. I bought an air purifier hoping it would help, and can I just say this thing is magic? The first night I used it was the best night of sleep I've gotten in two months.
Clear sinuses and the room smelled good. I ran it on high, but I also sleep with a box fan on for white noise, so the sound level didn't bother me in the slightest. In the morning, when I get up, I turn it down to low and keep it running all day.
I'm definitely going to be purchasing more of these for my living room and the basement. Money well spent." — Tara R Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st.
ft spaces from Amazon for $99.99 (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft.

A ~Fasta Pasta~ cooker to make perfectly al dente pasta right in the microwave — no turning on your stove and heating up your entire kitchen on days where every degree counts. Plus, no more waiting for the pot to boil either! Bonus: the lid doubles as a strainer, so you really won't dirty any extra dishes! Promising review: "It's magic. Fasta Pasta is a must own for all kitchens.
This week, I cooked penne in it; it was fabulous. I watched the process. No more strainer to wash, no more struggling to fit the largest pot you own into the small sink.
My water filter obstructs much of the sink. You can ever cook potatoes and vegetables in it. Also there was not a hint that it would overflow, even with the highest water level.
Fasta Pasta is now my #1 kitchen utensil and I love it. The fact that it's also a veggie cooker is a great plus. They have included a card with portions, amount of water, and times, so all the guesswork is gone.

Promising review: "Seems like junk; works like magic! This is one of those items that you take out of the box and set up, thinking to yourself, "This is a piece of junk, and I just spent X dollars on it." You feel frustrated with yourself. Then, you try it, and it works.
Really works. I don't exactly get it, but it works!" — Bianca Get it from Amazon for $29.99 .

That's right, you will NOT have to reapply before your evening plans. Promising review: "This stuff is MAGIC. During the summer months when it's 100 degrees, my eyeshadow & eyeliner would be melted into my eyelid creases halfway thru the day and I was having to constantly fix it.
This primer will keep your makeup looking fresh for 24 hours. No eyelid creases ALL day and into the night. Even fell asleep with my makeup on and it was the same in the morning! This has become a permanent staple in my makeup bag.
