Once you experience the magical sunrise from the Hatch alarm clock, you'll forever wonder how you ever managed to wake up without it. I recently received this lip balm and I refuse to be without it, I'm not even exaggerating. Whenever I realized I've left my apartment without it, I go back and get it — it's that good. My favorite thing about this lip balm is the metal applicator. I've never seen anything like it! It's cooling to the touch and goes on so smooth without leaving any residue behind. As a lip product connoisseur, this is by far my favorite because not only does it leaves my lips hydrated as heck but it also adds a tint of color so I don't need to go over it with lipstick or a colored gloss! Promising review: "I actually went out and bought another one of these within a week of me first trying it out lol. My coworker recommended it to me after I had told her how I was having trouble finding a lip product that would keep my lips hydrated throughout the day and not just for a few hours. My lips would peel a lot and get dry and crack regardless of the weather in Houston, but since I've started using this I have not had these issues...I can be honest and say I was skeptical because I've used many products before that didn't do much but this is one worth the money and one I feel confident in recommending to others." —Tyesha Get it from Amazon or directly from Eadem for $24 (available in up to seven shades). Take-n-Slide is a small business that created this genius tool to make it easy to keep track of medications. They also offer a vitamin tracker, pet med tracker, and multi-dose tracker. Promising reviews: "This is a game changer for me. I was stressing about remembering whether or not I took my meds. This is the best solution I have ever found. I hate writing reviews, but I stopped before rushing out of work to write this one. Thanks for making such a life-saving, time-saving product, especially for us elders whose memory isn't what it used to be." —Bajanwoman "Love these! I don’t have to worry if I remembered or not anymore! Wish I knew about them sooner!!" —Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors and in a five-pack). Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in a cat and dog version). Check out a review of the Hatch on TikTok. Promising review: "The Hatch Alarm Clock has completely changed how I wake up. I love the sunrise feature. It gently wakes me with light instead of a loud alarm, which has made me feel so much more rested. There are tons of customizable options for light colors, sounds, and routines, which makes it easy to personalize and adjust based on my mood. It’s easy to use, looks sleek on my nightstand, and genuinely improves both my mornings and sleep. Highly recommend!" —Taylor Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three colors). Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products. Promising reviews: "I absolutely LOVE these Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL! They are super soft, thick, and feel so much cleaner than using regular towels on my face. I love knowing I’m not reusing bacteria every time I wash or dry my face. "They’re perfect for sensitive skin, don’t cause irritation, and don’t leave lint behind. The XL size is amazing — plenty big enough to use comfortably without feeling flimsy. I also use them for skincare routines, makeup removal, and even quick cleanups. "Once you try these, you won’t go back to regular face towels. Worth every penny and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing!" —Brandy Wernig Get a 50-count from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in multipacks). Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review: "These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." —Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six patterns and daily, weekly, and monthly format). Promising reviews: "I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it’s been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have appeared to shrink. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing these." —Ee El "I am obsessed with these pads. I’ve only been using them for about a week now, and have already noticed a dramatic improvement in the texture and clarity of my skin. They leave my skin feeling clean, smooth and balanced. Definitely worth the money in my opinion!" —Amanda Camm Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (also available in six other versions). The other versions include vitamin C, turmeric, red succinic acid, PDRN pink collagen, or a mild option with PHAs for sensitive skin. Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats. Promising reviews: "I was introduced to this item through TikTok, and they weren’t joking when they placed certain videos on your 'For You Page,' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS. It is super helpful for small sinks, and I love the material. It doesn’t slide around, it’s wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs, and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." —Allie West "Wish I had found it sooner. Such a great product for travel made getting ready in a hotel bathroom very easy!" —Karen A. DeVine Get it from Amazon for $27.59+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). Promising reviews: "I was a little dubious about these, but my daughter's glasses were always falling off her face and to the floor, so if I could spend a couple of bucks to save her expensive glasses, it was worth a shot. In fact, because you get five pairs, I put a set on my glasses, and I'll be darned if they don't work really well. They add a little bit of bulk to your glasses, so if you're extremely fashion-conscious, it's not like tape-on-the-bridge nerdy, but it's there. But if you're more concerned about your glasses staying put on your head, you'll like these. They aren't too thick, so you don't really notice them on your ears. In fact, because of the soft silicone, they actually result in less of the occasional soreness I would get from my glasses on my ears sometimes." —Domenico Bettinelli "Amazing! Wish I had known about these sooner. Adds comfort and keeps the glasses where you want them." —Plant Grower Get five pairs from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three colors). Check out a TikTok of the snail mucin moisturizer in action. Promising review: "If you're like me and have oily/combo skin that is also sensitive and prone to acne, this is an excellent product worth its price. Very little goes a long way since the slimy texture glides right over the skin. It does not leave any sticky residue; on the contrary, it is absorbed into the skin very quickly. It also keeps the skin moisturized but does not trap oil; in fact, I find my skin to be less oily after a few days of using it!" —Madeline Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients, and are vegan and cruelty-free. Promising reviews: "What is this magic in a bottle??? LIFESAVER!!! I wish I found this product sooner, it really made a difference with pimples, redness and pores!! Will repurchase forever." —mariavel "I touch my face a lot and it causes me to breakout. I use this after school, ballet, or anytime my skin feels dull. I realized how long it lasts the other day when I thought I was running out. It is worth every penny." —maddiekate17 Get it from Amazon, Sephora, or directly from Tower 28 for $12+ (available in three sizes). Psst… It's also alcohol free, paraben free, and fragrance free, making it perfect for even the most sensitive of skin. Promising reviews: "For a toner, this is SO hydrating and just heavenly. It's perfect for makeup prep as it has just a tad of tackiness right after applying. Goes on under my serums and moisturizer perfectly, and I've noticed a huge difference in my skin. I saw it recommended by a YouTuber and tried it, and it's now a daily use for me, which is rare because I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, and I'm very picky about skincare. I can't recommend this enough, truly." —Amazon Customer "I’ve been using this toner for a short time and already noticed a big improvement in my skin. It feels smoother, more hydrated, and overall healthier. The price is very reasonable for the quality, and it’s absolutely worth buying. I’ve definitely added it to my skincare routine and will keep repurchasing." —Mariella + Cosette Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes and a lighter version). Promising reviews: "I don't normally order things due to influencers promoting them. However, my girl Lala Kent recommended this, and it really works! I used it on my face in the morning after washing it, and within 15 minutes, I could feel my face tightening a little, and it leaves the skin glowing like never before! It is like jelly, so it doesn't take much, but the result is amazing, and I noticed it after my first use. I will be buying this again for sure, and the price is reasonable as this jar will last a long time!" —Stacey Koos "I never get excited over skincare products, but this is a must have!!!! The texture is exactly what it says: jelly. It’s lightweight and the perfect consistency. It doesn’t take a lot and you will absolutely have a glow!!! It’s definitely worth the money!! I think you will be satisfied. I have several Medicube products and this one took #1 spot. Best skincare!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️" —Kelly Crocker Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in two sizes and also in a hyaluronic ceramide version). Promising reviews: "I've tried them all — cheap knock-offs and expensive ones like Stanley, Hydro Flask, and so many others — and this is hands-down the best water bottle!! I love that I can use it with the built-in straw or use it as an open water bottle, just depending on how I tip it while drinking. It's seriously perfect. My husband has been using a Stanley for four years and switched to this after seeing mine. No more leaking, or spilling." —rowleypolie "Without a doubt, everyone has heard the uproar over huge insulated cup brands using lead to make their cups. If that is a concern for you, then there is no need to worry about this one. This cup is made lead-free and works phenomenally! I always put ice in my Owala with my water and notice that all the ice is still there over a span of 48 hours and still freezing cold." —DietDrKelp069 Get a 24-ounce tumbler from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in 20 colors and three other sizes). Promising review: "Love that the bottom of the cup fits in my vehicle’s cup holders. Absolutely love that when you have the built-in straw pushed down, I can turn this upside down and shake it, and it does not leak a drop. The lid is a good quality, not flimsy. The straw is easily removed for easy cleaning. My ice lasts a long time in the cup, how long depends on the conditions the cup is kept in. I carry this with me for errands, travel, and just around the house. I am pretty rough with mine and I have not had any scratches on the lid or the body. I have a LOT of tumblers but this one is my favorite. The tumbler functions how it claims to and it’s so nice to get a product that delivers." —claz Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors/designs). Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: It works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa "This is worth the hype! It’s moisturizing, hydrating, unscented, and feels SO nice on skin. Worth the money." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in three sizes). Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Promising reviews: "Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years, I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P's brush because of the floss-like bristles. It's also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every four days, brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh, and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a dentist!" —BenK "They say you're supposed to replace your toothbrush every six months. I've never had a toothbrush last six months...until now. The bristles on all my other toothbrushes flattened out by the two-month mark, but these stayed strong. I can't wait until my dental cleaning next month to see if there has been any improvement in my diseased gums. I've been using these toothbrushes for about eight months. I wish I'd found them sooner." —Alison K Dr.Tung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products. Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn’t see much results, so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which is a good thing in this case ;-). An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" —Lyra18 Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in multipacks). It comes with a lid, so you can also use it as a regular thermos to keep drinks icy cold and super hot! TBH, you can even pop a hot coffee cup into this to keep it warm, so the Frostbuddy is technically also a Hotbuddy. Check out a TikTok of the Frostbuddy in action! BTW, Frost Buddy is a small business that specializes in universal thermal-controlling drinkware. Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this! I use this all the time for my Starbucks coffee, and it is amazing! I'll get iced coffee at 9 a.m. and still have ice in it at 7 p.m. I now have many Frostbuddy products, and their entire line is phenomenal. This is definitely a must-have item for coffee or tea drinkers. I love that it also comes with a leakproof lid, so you can put your own drink in there, too. Overall, awesome product!" —EHW "I got this as a gift and bummed I didn’t find it myself sooner. It keeps my Dunkin' iced coffee cold ALL day. It’s like a giant Koozie. I love this thing and use it every single day!!!" —Adrianne Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 32 colors/designs). Tip: Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once your drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature! Promising review: "This is my third Vobaga coffee warmer. I bought the first one in 2018, and it's still going strong. It keeps my coffee hot to the last drop. It's important to remember it doesn't heat up cold beverages to piping hot. It keeps hot beverages hot." —hottytoddy Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 13 colors/styles). If you're unsure of your ring size, you can buy their sizing kit here. Once you buy the ring, the cost of the sizing kit will be credited towards your ring purchase! Promising review: "Guys. I LIVE off my Oura ring. I’ve been using it for about a month and let me just say… It’s changed my life. The charging speed and battery life is incredible. The accuracy of data it shows is top-tier and don’t even get me started on the sleep tracking… The sleep tracking has changed my life for the better and I’ve only been using it for a month. The app function is great and is super easy to use. I’m able to pinpoint times of my day that I’m the most stressed and, how I need to work on my sleep. I know this product is expensive but it’s worth it. Do it." —Molly Get it from Amazon for $349+ (available in nine colors and ring sizes 4–15) It has either an adhesive base or a MagSafe base to attach and detach the wallet. The base can be repositioned and you can swap out the PopSocket so you don't have to be committed to it. The best part is that it holds up to FIVE cards! Promising review: "Important things are never forgotten. I leave my wallet or purse behind a lot. I know I should have my license on me when I drive even if it’s a short distance, but taking such large things with me is just annoying. I always have my phone on me though, and so I had to get this. I comfortably fit my license and two cards in it. I never have to worry about going somewhere that doesn’t take Apple Pay, or needing my ID and not having it. As long as I have my phone, I know I have those. It’s easy to remove for wireless charging, and the pop socket makes me feel so much more secure when using my phone in bed or when taking photos!" —Julia Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 25 colors). Check out a TikTok of the DogBuddy scooper in action. DogBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products, including bowls, mats, and scoopers. Promising review: "I wish I had known about this sooner. OMG! No more getting poop on your hands by accident. No more carrying big, bulky pooper scoopers when you travel, go on a walk, or go to the dog park. "You just load the bag, open the clip, close the clip around the poop, and ta-da! Poop pickup done. Quick and easy. It’s lightweight and is made of good-quality material. I have a large dog, 75 pounds. Don’t pass this by." —Espirational Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double-cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising reviews: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser, and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my whiteheads and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin; however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera." —Myshel Jensen "I’ve repurchased this oil cleanser twice already and it’s never let me down. It does an amazing job on cleansing your pores without damaging your skin with other exfoliators. It’s smooth on skin and doesn’t irritate. I also use this as a makeup remover and it removes everything. This bottle lasts me a while as well, a little goes a long way! It’s definitely worth your money if you’re looking to buy an oil cleanser." —sofi I have a Nespresso Vertuo and it has probably been the greatest investment I have ever made. Granted, it may be a tad bit expensive, but in the long run, you may just be saving money (if you NEED an iced latte every day). Plus, it definitely beats having to leave my apartment way too early to get my morning fix when all I have to do is put in a new pod, press the brew button, and wait around a minute for it to brew! Personally, I'm a latte girlie, so I usually use espresso pods (these are my faves, btw), but you can also put them in a coffee pod. Based on the size of the pod, it'll know how much to brew automatically. P.S. There are three different sizes of coffee and four different sizes of espresso. Promising review: "The coffee machine has made some of the best homemade coffee I’ve ever had. It makes such a creamy, not acidic, coffee. This machine is also so stylish and makes my coffee bar look so cute, unlike many other coffee machines that are just too bulky and look hideous in a space. This one is compact and stylish. I also love that it dispenses the pod itself into a removable bin. The removable bin is convenient for washing all the old coffee remnants off to avoid bugs or a nasty smell. Also, the water container is easy to remove and fill. Love it so far." —rylee Nunemaker Get it from Amazon for $125.98+ (available in four colors, plus in bundle options with the Aeroccino milk frother). Promising review: "I’m not kidding when I say I’ve tried so many sunscreens over the years and this one is hands down the best one I’ve ever used. 100% worth the hype and money. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and completely absorbs into the skin without leaving a white cast. Perfect for everyday wear and doesn’t pill with other products or under makeup. "I have sensitive acne-prone skin and this sunscreen doesn’t irritate or clog my pores at all, but at the same time doesn’t feel ultra drying or make my skin feel tight like a lot of other sunscreens. "If you’re looking for a reliable daily sunscreen that protects, nourishes, and feels amazing on the skin this is it. Highly recommend!!!!" —Amy Swanson Get it on Amazon for $23.50+ (available in four sizes). Promising reviews: "After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I’d have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and omg!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! Lol, if you’ve been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It’s worth it!" —Tora318 "Wish I had found this sooner! Lol. As a mom who gets her nails done often, not struggling with opening the buckle with long nails anymore is fantastic." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors). One side is faux fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two. Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it, and it's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things, so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 19 colors). Promising review: "I bought this item to help relive coccyx pain from riding my motorcycle. When I sit for very long I start to squirm as sitting gets more and more uncomfortable until it starts to get painful and I have to get up and move around. I've had this seat cushion for two days now, and as I was sitting here reading the news on my laptop, I realized I'd been sitting for a couple of hours, pain-free! This seat cushion is well worth the cost and then some!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $45.95+ (available in seven colors). Promising review: "I had a nicer-looking, more expensive version of this in my cart originally. This was one-third of that price and I'm so glad I went with this one. Its got a sturdy backing on both pieces (piece with pockets and a piece that goes between mattresses), one large pocket closest to the bed, and three decent-sized mesh pockets. I have it between my mattress and box spring." —Danielle Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "Holy grail mascara! I've used this mascara for about three years now and it still tops any other mascara I've tried. It will transfer if you apply it to your lower lashes, so I use a different mascara for my bottom lashes, which I don't mind at all. I always get asked if I'm wearing falsies! It's a mascara that stays wet longer, so I always apply one coat, let it get tacky, then apply a second coat for best results." —Joseph Gonzalez Get it from Amazon for $4.97+ (available in three colors). One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye. Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before, and they were so watery and not close to the dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four sizes). Promising review: "These slippers are super cute and cozy! The faux fur feels soft and warm, and the memory foam insole really does make it feel like walking on clouds. I love that they’re lightweight but still have a sturdy, anti-skid sole so I can step outside if needed. They fit true to size, are easy to slip on, and the fact that they’re machine washable is a huge plus. Definitely a stylish and practical choice— I’d buy them again or gift them!" —Alexis Dustin Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–13 and 20 colors). Promising review: "I wish I would have bought one sooner! I love cooking in my new air fryer! It is perfect for my small family! Everything that I cook in here takes delicious! The fryer is easy to use, easy to clean, makes very little noise and comes with instructions and recipes!" —Nicole Dobynes Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available with or without windows and in two sizes). Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl Get them from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in four styles). The reviews used in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
