Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick.“—Amazon Customer

A portable dog paw cleaner that is perfect for making sure your pup doesn’t track any of the mud, dirt, and who knows what else into your home after their daily walk.


amazon.com

Promising review: “Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer that likes to dig, a mini goldendoodle that is prissy about her paws, and a standard Lab puppy that is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was driving me CRAZY. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!” —Rachel

A side by side of the arms of a couch with and without the plastic protector


amazon.com

Promising review: “I purchased these because my destructive cats tore up two sofas. I purchased a new sofa and didn’t want to go down that road again if I could help it. I have already tried sprays, calming scent diffusers, and double-sided tape. None of these worked. I put these on two sofas and so far my cats have left them alone. I have had them on for a couple of months. Of course, you can see them but they have an obvious purpose. They attach by screw in fasteners with a spiral pin. I haven’t had any problem with rips from these. They needed tightening a couple times, but that is it.” —Kristy

Promising review: “I’m pleasantly surprised that it is so easy to clean and does a great job quickly with minimal effort!! I’ve only used it for a day now, so can’t comment on sturdiness or durability, but it looks like it should last long. Just to test its limits, I added one single chopped green chili. I had expected that it won’t be able to chop or do anything in such small quantities, but It did great at finely mincing the chili! I tried overloading it with large chunks of onions and it did just as great — didn’t require any extra strength for the ‘pulls.‘ I highly recommend this. I think it is a genius invention and a great product design!” —GDD

Promising review: “I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!” —Diana

Promising review: “Purchased this Descaler as our several year old Keurig single-cup coffee brewer no longer brewed a full cup of coffee. Water flow was very slow and coffee cup only half filled. Following the simple directions on the bottle and using just half a bottle of Descaler, the Keurig machine was restored to full performance. It also brewed a hotter cup of coffee! Very good product as far as I am concerned.” —Barnett Tessler

Promising review: “I needed to remove the tank emblems from my Harley. Getting the metal part off is easy but it left behind nearly one-fourth of what was once goo but was now a rock-hard layer of crud. I tried a few different solvents with no results. Goo Gone practically melted it away and i was able to remove it with very little effort. It took several applications and scrapings with a good scraper a little at a time but it’s gone now and you can’t tell it was ever there.” —D. Kells

A tub cleaner because I bet you had no idea how much dirt and grime gets stuck in those jets. Prepare to feel totally grossed out after seeing all that crud rise to the surface.

And it takes just 15 minutes to see results; simply run your water, pour in some cleaner, and start your jets.

Promising review: “This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! I first ran my tub with the solution, then drained it and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! I’m so impressed!” —Chelsea

The hardworking formula is safe for use on surfaces in your bathroom and kitchen — including cookware!

Promising review: “This stuff is like magic! Straight up wizardry. I love it! I initially bought it to clean my sink, which is porcelain and even though it’s not even a year old, is just holding on to all the coffee and tea staining. I’d say it took less than a minute after making a paste with Bar Keepers Friend to clean the sink up to a nearly new shine. Taking a look at the can it’s easy to find bunches of ways to use this stuff and each application is better than the last. Stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper, brass, fiberglass, corian, chrome, and aluminum. See? Magic! Anyhow, I’ve used it in the sink, in the bathroom, to clean stainless-steel pots and pans on a 17-year-old Revereware tea kettle (which I thought would never be restored to its former loveliness, BTW). This is a product that I will buy again and again and will happily recommend to anyone.” —Nicci Stephenson

The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door…everything came out squeaky clean. I’m NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again.” —Terry

Promising review: “This literally changed my life. I was one of those people who used to complain about needing to wash my hair DAILY. I have thin, light blonde hair. I looked greasy and unkempt after one day, not even taking into consideration working out or sweating. But now?! A whole new world. Now, my hair can look smooth and straight, because I don’t need to wash, dry, then straighten every morning (what a time-suck!). Now, I just straighten and dry shampoo. I’ve used the extra time in mornings to improve my makeup routine, take my dog on longer walks, etc. AND I look more put-together at work. Get this stuff. Conserve water. Never look back.” —Eemn83

Two-in-one blow-drying brush delivers a salon-worthy one-step blowout that cuts drying time in half. This tool has three different settings (cool, low, and high) so you can control how much heat you’re putting on your hair and for how long.


amazon.com

Promising review: “First, let me start off with saying I have always HATED styling my hair. I’m not good at it and it takes WAY too long to do. My hair is fluffy/frizzy, and I have a lot of it. It takes me about 20–25 minutes to dry it with a normal blow-dryer. When I’m done with drying, it’s normally so frizzy and crazy that I MUST flat iron, or else it looks like I just woke up. Flat ironing would take me another 20 min or so, so we’re looking at 45 min total to do my hair. Nope. I don’t have the time or patience for all that, unless I’m going out at night. And then I discovered this Hot Tools miracle. I’ve only been using this a little less than a week, but it’s changed my hair life and I am telling all my girlfriends. It’s reduced my time from 45 minutes to 10. TEN!! Not only that, I don’t have to flat iron my hair, which saves time and heat exposure to my fine hair. The end result is SO smooth.” —BayAreaShopper

Promising review: “I love this brush! I ordered because I saw a Youtube video of a girl with curly hair using it, and her curls came out amazing! I always do wash-and-gos, and I usually would only brush/comb my hair in the shower style it once I was out, but sometimes if I waited a little longer to style it, my hair would get dry and frizzy. It would be almost impossible to get my curls defined without getting back in the shower. With this brush, now all I have to do it spray my hair with water, put product in it, and comb it through with this brush, and my curls are poppin’! My image shows before and after use of the brush about 30 minutes after getting out of the shower. The brush is also very sturdy and you can take rows out if you want a looser curl!” —Kirstie

With this brush, now all I have to do it spray my hair with water, put product in it, and comb it through with this brush, and my curls are poppin’! My image shows before and after use of the brush about 30 minutes after getting out of the shower. The brush is also very sturdy and you can take rows out if you want a looser curl!” —Kirstie

Promising review: “I switched from using makeup pads and makeup remover for environmental purposes, and switched over to re-useable makeup cloths and micellar water. This has been my favorite, as it removes makeup and cleanses skin. I have very sensitive skin, so I just use this on my face at night and follow up with a light moisturizer. This combination has done wonders for my skin, and I keep on coming back to this one by Garnier because I’ve had no negative side effects.” —Claire

Promising Review: “I’ve tried quite a few waxes over the years and this one might be my favorite. I seem to get fewer broken hairs (and my hair breaks very easily), and it usually grabs everything even if I have a few hairs going in a different direction. I really don’t like anything else for my bikini line. I do Brazilians on myself and that isn’t for the faint of heart. Having to redo sections is not only painful, but annoying. It’s also a waste of product and therefore money. I do one section and I’m done. Sometimes I need to go a second time in the opposite direction, but usually not. I have very sensitive skin and some waxes result in rashes, not something you want to be dealing with on freshly waxed sensitive areas. This one, I’ve never had an issue. Love it.” —Kate

Chi Spin N Curl takes a page out of the Jetsons’ book by allowing you to curl your hair in an instant without doing any work. Drop a section of your hair into the rotating barrel and it’ll be curled to perfection in just a few seconds.


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I am in love with this gadget! I’ve always used curling irons, but this is so much better. For me, I don’t have to be as mindful of how I’m wrapping my hair in the curling iron to avoid that antiquated style of overly curled hair. I love that the heated part is completely inside the barrel, so no worries about burning my fingers. It’s very quick to heat up — under a minute. You can easily adjust the settings for heat or how long you want the hair in the barrel before it beeps. Even if the unit hasn’t beeped and you want to release your hair sooner, you just pull it out. It won’t let your hair get stuck inside. If you try to put too much inside or the hair is too tangled to start, the iron beeps and stops pulling the hair inside. I have pretty thick hair and still have been able to pull in reasonable sections of hair. I’m able to curl my entire head of thick hair in about 10 minutes.” —Blondie

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in six colors).

Reviewer's before and after of a bottle super clean


amazon.com

Promising review:I seriously can’t believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn’t put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.” —Amazon Customer

Heat Free Hair is a Black woman–owned small business that makes hair extensions and wigs for Afro-textured hair. They sell lace fronts, wefted hair, full lace wigs, and clip-ins in a variety of textures. The set come with six clip-ins.

“I have been eyeing Heat Free Hair for 10 YEARS because they are pricey. Now that I’ve gotten my hands on some clip-ins, I regret waiting so long because they’re totally worth it. For context, I have 4b–4c hair. I’m not used to being able to use hair fresh out the box. However, this blends perfectly with my natural hair. Mind you, I installed these in like 20 minutes with minimal stretching. All I did was lightly detangle the hair and put it in where my hair was less dense. It’s soft and doesn’t have that weird ‘new hair’ smell or waxy residue. You can tell that these were created by and for Black women. If you’re a naturalista looking for an extra-full Afro or a ponytail, try these — you won’t regret it.” —BuzzFeed writer Christine Forbes
