Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are here! I’ve narrowed down the endless options to my top tried-and-true picks, ranging from practical to perfect for both gifting and treating yourself. The sale goes through tomorrow, October 8th.
Wella Repair Spray// THIS IS THE BEST HAIR PRODUCT OF ALL TIME. In alllllllll of Amazon, this is my #1 recommendation! It's a spray, and you spritz it on damp hair after a shower. It smells lovely (not too strong) and has a nice, even spray. It makes my hair so soft, shiny, and voluminous. It also helps my hair look fresher for longer in between hair washes. It's a pricey product, but it's a must-have for me, and one I've purchased many times. I'm ordering a backup for when I run out.
Steamer// I've long been a Conair brand steamer gal, as they work well and are not too pricey. This is what I use weekly for clothing, linens, etc. The hot plate on the front is particularly helpful because it functions like a hybrid of an iron and a steamer. This is quite large, so I have a smaller version for travel (which you can find below). But this one works better than the travel version if you are between the two!
Frame TV// I've had the Frame TV for over five years and would highly recommend it. It has a nice picture and works well. It has numerous apps that you can download, allowing you to stream almost anything. I love the look of it on the wall, and we added the gold wooden frame so it looks even more like a piece of real art. When I need another TV, I won't hesitate to get another Frame. You can read my full blog post review of the Samsung Frame TV, here.
Eye Cream// I've always been skeptical about eye cream. I've tried *a lot* of eye creams over the last 15 years, and I always come back to this one. It's one of the only ones where I see results as opposed to just using my regular moisturizer/serum under my eyes. I have bad dark circles, and I noticed they are lessened with continued use. The formula is nice and hydrating, and glides on nicely. I use this exclusively at night because I prefer another eye cream for daytime, but you can use this at any point in the day or evening.
Athletic Socks// My favorite athletic socks, and they are a STEAL! People compare them to Bombas, which are much more costly. I have not worn Bombas, so I can't speak to that, but they are so cushioned and high quality. I wear these with athletic sneakers!
Gold Wooden Frame for TV// When you purchase the Frame, you have the option to add on a bezel. These bezels are minimal and do not have as big an impact as these wooden frames. This is the exact frame I have on our TV. It's gorgeous and truly makes it look like a piece of artwork. These are pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion!
Whitening Strips// I kept seeing this brand all over the internet. It seems like everyone and their mother posts about these teeth-whitening strips. I took it upon myself to buy them and test them out. I have always loved Crest Whitestrips. They work. However, as I get older, it's more important than ever to be gentler on my enamel. These are supposed to be gentler. Typically, I use one Crest Whitestrip as a touch-up, and it noticeably whitens my teeth. With the Lumineux, I had to use more treatments to notice a difference, but the difference was noticeably whiter. No sensitivity whatsoever. I order the larger pack whenever they go on sale, so I always have them on hand. They work; they just take a little longer than some other brands.
Non-Stick Pots and Pan Set// This is a great price for a pots and pans set. These are non-stick (truly) and are as beautiful as they are practical. They are also non-toxic. The quality is competitive with all of the top brands in cookware. I really like the stainless All-Clad pans, Le Creuset, and Staub, and we do a lot with cast iron, but these are more of our 'everyday' pots and pans, and we love them so much! They're the quickest and easiest to clean by a mile!
Leggings// The best leggings. I rarely order anything from Lulu anymore, as the CRZ brand consistently delivers. These are the sleek feel where dog hair doesn't stick and just brushes right off with your hand! They run true to size.
Vacuum// We have a Dyson and a Shark stick, but 100% of the time, I prefer the Shark plug-in vacuum I bought for my apartment back in 2016. It still works perfectly and works SO much better than my Dyson. Even better, it's a fraction of the Dyson price tag. The only thing that's somewhat annoying is that it has a cord, but it's a negligible annoyance when I factor in how well it works. If you have a pet, this will be a game-changer. When mine dies, I will repurchase and not even bother to look for a different option. It's that good. There are several different models, but this is the lowest-price model and the one I've had for nearly 10 years!
Beige Dog Car Hammock// If you have a beige car interior, you know how hard it is to find a beige car hammock for your pet! This is the one I have. It's high quality and easy to wash!
Tech Sleeve// Being a millennial, I have a soft spot for Vera Bradley. I think some of their latest prints have that nostalgic, old-school vibe, and I am here for it. I got myself this laptop sleeve last year and love it. It's such a cute print and protects my laptop when I toss it into my tote!
Dyson Hair Dryer// I bought this the last time it was on sale. I waited years to buy this because I refused to believe the hype. I had used the Air Wrap and didn't love it, so I just figured this hair dryer was also very overrated (and overpriced). While I still think it's a bit steep for a hair dryer, I am fully on the Dyson hair dryer train. This is actually worth the hype. The only way I can describe this hair dryer is that my old hair dryer (which I loved, by the way) was like a hose, and this is like a pressure washer. This is significantly more powerful and truly reduces drying time. It annoys me to recommend this, but it really is good.
Brow Pencil// I am not a big drugstore makeup gal, but this is one of those exceptions that is truly just as good as any other brow pencil. I truly don't know why I'd ever buy anything more expensive than this because it is just perfect.
Lip Balm// This is a constant repurchase for me. It's pricey for lip balm, so it's nice to snag it on sale. It is very lightly scented, like lavender, and applies so smoothly. It's a 'clean' formula.
Deodorant + Body Wash// This is a go-to brand. I love the bergamot and hinoki scent, but you can't go wrong with any of their scents. The products are cleaner than many products you'd find at a drugstore. The deodorant truly works. I held off on trying 'natural' deodorant for so long because I thought there was no way it would work on me, but I am glad to report that it does, and it works well! It also smells so luxurious... more like a high-end fragrance than anything else! The body wash is wonderful, too. It lathers well, and the scent lingers long after showering. These are higher-priced than other deodorants and body washes, making them a nice gift... they could be a good stocking stuffer for the holiday season!
Small Tech Battery// This is niche, but I have a ring/pop socket thing on the back of my phone case. I *need* that ring to hold my phone since I have the largest size. What's frustrating, though, is that because of that ring, I can't charge my phone via MagSafe unless I remove my phone case. That's fine when I am at home, but when I am on the go, I don't like to remove the case since I am notorious for dropping my phone. This is a portable battery that is tiny- it fits inside a clutch! It also plugs directly into the bottom of my phone, so I don't have to deal with any annoying cords. It is the perfect small travel backup battery. I use it all of the time!
Stainless Frying Pan Duo// My husband and I prefer different cookware. He cooks on cast iron, and I cook on All-Clad stainless. Both are supposedly non-toxic, which is great. If you have been afraid of stainless cookware because you think it is nonstick, watch a few YouTube videos on properly using it, and you will be a convert. I love my All-Clad frying pans and could not recommend them more! They are pricey, so it is always nice to snag them on sale. When compared to the non-stick cookware that I reviewed earlier in this post, these are not as user-friendly/easy to use. If I want to fry up a few eggs quickly, this is not my go-to pan, but if I am willing to have some patience, these are the way to go.
Beige Dog Car Hammock// If you have a beige car interior, you know how hard it is to find a beige car hammock for your pet! This is the one I have. It's high quality and easy to wash!
