Promising review: "After struggling with both falling asleep and waking up for years, my wife and I decided to invest in the Hatch Restore 3. After using it for a couple of weeks now, I can confidently say this device has positively transformed our sleep routine, and we wish we had started using it much sooner instead of simply using our iPhones as alarm clocks. Our favorite features are the 'Light Rain' and 'Ocean Waves' settings, which we both love and help us quickly fall asleep. We love the look as it features a sleek, modern design that perfectly matches our bedroom decor. The quality matches the price point, as it feels and looks like a premium device and delivers great sound. It’s very user-friendly and simple to use without the need for a phone, allowing us to manage our sleep routine directly from the device and reduce our screen time right before bed. Another great feature is the sunrise alarm, which gradually brightens our room, mimicking a natural sunrise and allowing us to feel more refreshed and less startled." —Ali P

Promising reviews: "I wear these for work at least once every other week. They are a professional staple." —Courtney Trace

"So stylish, these are a MUST-HAVE!!!! I look so put-together in them, absolutely divine. My mom (who is a tough fashionista to impress) gave me the compliment of a lifetime when I wore these. SCORE!" —Pamela

Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–2X, in long and short lengths, and various colors).

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 $17.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).

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. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub it 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

Get it from Amazon for $11.70+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "I have been using this deodorant for a while now, and it has become a staple. The clinical-strength formula kept me dry and odor-free for well over 24 hours, even on the most active days. The Summer Rose scent is light and pleasant without being overpowering. The soft, solid formula applied smoothly and left no white marks or residue on clothing. I kept repurchasing because it consistently worked better than anything else I had tried. Highly recommend for anyone looking for all-day protection." —BusyMommyOf5

FYI, water may be enough to rehydrate you, depending on your situation! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. 

These are genuinely my most FAVORITE electrolyte blends. The flavors are great and don't have that gritty taste other brands have. (They are also available in individual packets for on-the-go convenience!)

Promising review: "I’ve been using Cure Hydration for a couple of years now, and I can’t recommend them enough! I buy them monthly and love how they keep my family hydrated without any added sugar. The flavors are refreshing, and they mix easily in water. Perfect for workouts or just staying hydrated throughout the day. A game changer for my routine!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in eight flavors).

Promising review: "Fabulous!!! This is the perfect scent for every day, but it transitions beautifully into a special evening accent. I love the perfume bottle because it allows me to target specific spots without overspray. The bottle size is perfect." —Nan

Get it from Amazon for $54 (available in gardenia and rose).

BUT it should be noted you can scan just about any food (so long as it's in the Tovala app database), including my son's fave Eggo waffles. Y'all, I can't say enough nice things about this. The pretzels you see pictured above AND THE CHEESE SAUCE: Both from their meal kit. My husband and I tried the steak one night, thinking it would be "okay for magic oven steak," BUT IT WAS EXCELLENT FOR ANY STEAK. I sound like a Tovala evangelist, but that's because I really am and love having the option to have Real Food with me barely having to lift a finger. Our DoorDash usage plummeted when we subscribed. 😂

Right now you can get four meals a week for $66.95 a week with the flexibility to skip or pause at anytime. Whatever works with your schedule!

Get it from Tovala for $50 (This is the current price for signing up for the free oven and a 4 Meals-A-Week plan to get you started!). 

Get a three-pack from Jacobsen Salt Co. for $24.

Promising review: "I travel frequently for work and keep this in my suitcase. Works so great, I no longer carry a lint roller." —Liza Przekop

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies, and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —Kaitlin

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising reviews: "Wow, this smells so amazing for a body spray! Truly gourmand with notes of vanilla cream, cashmere, and sandalwood. It doesn't dry out the skin at all and actually lasts a few hours for a body spray... especially on clothes. I just reapply throughout the day, and I'm always smelling so yummy. Get many compliments when I wear her!! ✨️ LOVE!" —Chelsea

Parker Thatch is a woman-founded business that aims to make limited production runs of luxury products that can be incorporated into your everyday life. 

Promising reviews: "The leather on this bag is so soft and luxurious, it's literally like butter. I leave it out on this chair in my bedroom, where I admire it every day. I also have the oxblood jack, which I also adore. Gorgeous leather. Wonderful capacity. Lightweight. Couldn't be happier." —Mallika M

"I have been waiting for this bag to come back in stock, and it was worth the wait! It was love at first sight, and when I took it out of the package and felt the leather, it was something I had never felt before. It is buttery and velvety at the same time. Absolutely luxurious! The bag itself is spacious and crafted perfectly! There is a lot of room inside to hold your entire life in! The handles are strong, and the bag itself is not very heavy, but it feels sturdy. This bag is gorgeous!" —Nora

Get it from Parker Thatch for $950+ (available in nine styles).

Promising reviews: "I'm very happy with this purchase. It dries my hair quickly, leaves it smooth with much less frizz, and the attachments are easy to switch and work great. It feels like a premium product and is definitely worth the price. Highly recommended!" —Ashley Astudillo 

"Highly recommend. I have thick, coarse, mostly straight hair that a blow dryer turns into big and poofy that I have to use heat (curling/flat iron) to smooth, calm down the frizz, and give it the direction I desire (straight or wavy). However, with the Dreame AirStyler and the various attachments that I have only just started to learn to use, the frizz is much calmer, I get the direction I want, and, with the wand-like attachments, I can curl. It's fun to do my hair to see what I can create. And I continue to be amazed by what this airstyler can do." —fluffy123

Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I love this dress! This dress is so easy to throw on and go. It’s been a summer of extreme heat in Texas, and the material of this dress makes it bearable. So simple to throw on to run to the store or do any errands. Much more comfortable than shorts. Plus, you’ll look more put together." —ME

Get it from Amazon for $31.94+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I have lots of smaller plants all over my house, and unless they’re on the 'sunny side,' they don’t thrive the same. Since using Plant Food, I am seeing NEW growth on many of the plants I haven’t seen bloom in a while!!" —Kelsey Q.

"My plants LOVE their happy Happy Houseplant food!! Every single one I've watered with it (just once, too) is growing a new leaf or leaves!! It's seriously MAGIC in a bottle!! I'll never be without it again!" —Madeleine G. 

Get it from Happy Happy Houseplant for $36.50.

And don't panic! This tool is super gentle, so you don't have to worry about accidental nicks and scrapes.

Promising review: "This is a 100% painless and incredibly easy alternative to waxing or plucking. A few quick swipes get rid of peach fuzz, and I never have to worry about breaking out because of it. Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R.

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94.

Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick), and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique French

Get it from Amazon for $11.05+ (available in five shades).

These cable ties are also great for when you're NOT traveling! 

Promising review: "This is a must for business travelers. I travel a great deal, so not only do I have to carry so many electronics and associated accessories, but I need them to be as compact as possible." —JTN

Truly my favorite home good thing. It's splurgy, but SO WORTH IT. Especially if you have kids/pets/or just a bunch of humans making a bunch of micro (and macro) messes. 

Promising review: "I went from a few different Roborock vacuum/mops from the most basic to the most advanced. Even so, this was a major upgrade! The overall quality comparison between mopping and vacuum suction power is night and day. The battery life allows me to get through my entire ranch-style house (2,500 square feet). It has definitely saved me a lot of time whenever I need to do a nice, balanced cleaning of the house. The noise level is extremely tolerable; the only time you really hear it is during the vacuum emptying cycle. All in all, the S2 has delivered the best cleaning performance of any robot vacuum I have owned or seen on the market, and it proves Eufy is dedicated to advancing its technology across industries to deliver a great product that is worth the money. I was a little hesitant because this is the most I have spent on a system like this, but I had my previous vacuum for over two years, and I plan on doing the same with this, so if you want the top-of-the-line product that so far lives up to its expectations, and looks good in your home, look no further." —Jeffrey Cherif

Promising review: "Great little analog timer. It shows graphically how much time is left, and you can choose whether or not it beeps at the end via a button on the back. The timer starts as soon as you move the pointer, and you can time up to an hour. Not a good timer if you're looking for seconds, but I use it for blocks of time, 3 or 5 minutes until I do this, or 15 minutes of that, type of thing. Very pleased with this timer, it has been exactly what my ADD brain needs." —Peter Neeves

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in six colors). 

Promising reviews: "I love how light this suitcase is and the different compartments that are inside. Helps keep everything organized! I will never go back to my old, heavy, bulky suitcase!" —Jasmine

"Solid, sturdy, safe, good space inside, durable, smooth, easy, convenient — BEST compact travel carry-on in the world!!!!!" —HADLEY C. 

Get it from Solgaard for $220+ (originally $275+; available in two sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time trying to get my hair into a bun. With these, I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me... anyone can." —Tina

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.79.

Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves the shower clean with no scrubbing necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is very well designed, with a squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a long-ish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for a while now and love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie Martin

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents).

Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them; it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it, love it, love it." —KristenB

Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in three shades and three sizes/quantities).

Promising review: "It’s been feeling like 100 degrees this summer, and when I have to run errands, I don’t want to be dripping sweat in a bra, shirt, AND shorts. I love this because everything is built in, the bra, shorts, and the dress are so cute! Keeps me cool and I feel confident in it! Perfect for a hot day." —Jess

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 13 colors).

Promising reviews: "Well, it’s safe to say I am hooked! The black and tan Acorn Trainer is my second pair, and there will be a third in the future for sure. I can wear socks or no socks, and the shoe fits the same. Cushy and comfortable, I highly recommend. The colors are wonderful, and I have received many compliments." —Kelly B

"I ordered my first pair of Acorns for my trip to Prague, as this trip was going to be filled with days of walking and exploring. They did not disappoint as I happily traipsed around the country! My feet were completely comfortable walking for hours each day. Great purchase! I definitely want another color!" —Janet G.

Get them from SeaVees for $130+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 16 styles/colors). 

Promising review: "I've been needing a container to hold my prepped smoothies in the freezer, and this is the perfect solution. I avoid plastic, so this is a great substitution. My fruit doesn't stick to the sides of the pouch, and it can hold the perfect amount of fruit for one large smoothie. Happy with this purchase." —Anna Young

"Works AMAZINGLY. I never have chunks of ice or fruit in my smoothie. Takes virtually no time and truly isn't the most harsh-sounding. It can also hold quite a bit for how small it is. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and comes with so many cool things (like cups and straws)!" —Taylor

Promising review: "This hoop is GREAT! It is just so much fun to exercise with this thing. I play music and try to dance too, lol. But I have experience; they used to have a weighted hoop in the gym I went to, and I did it all the time. Highly recommend. You just need to make sure it's clicked together correctly, or it'll come undone! Don't worry if it happens to you, though; it's totally fixable. It happened to me twice before I got it down. Anyway, if you're looking for a weighted hoop, look no more!" —Molls
