30 Amazon Products I Own and Love

I'm sure you know the same feeling - it's so hard to get up and get moving in the mornings. So, I've spent the last few months hunting down something that might pull me out of my deep slumber and this adorable, running alarm clock has done the trick! It's a game-changer and I recommend it to everyone.

Claw clips have changed my life! I know that sounds dramatic, but I hate putting my hair up with ponytail holders - I just don't like the way they look. But these claw clips keep my hair looking just how I want and they're trendy, so they're a win all around for me.

I take my iPad with me everywhere. As a grad student and a writer, I've found that it's useful to have it with me anywhere so I can take unlimited notes without wasting a ton of paper, and this awesome OtterBox case keeps it safe from drops no matter where I am.

Apple Watches are amazing tools, but they don't look very stylish straight from the box. I went on a mission to find accessories that elevated my Apple Watch and turned it from just a useful tool into a gorgeous accessory that would look great with all my outfits while keeping it professional and this cover does just that.

Pretty much everything in my life is on my laptop. That's where I keep notes and my manuscript and all of my work and it's a pretty expensive piece of equipment. And because it's so important to my life, I take it with me everywhere, and I've got to keep it safe! Hence, this sleeve.

"It's freaking bats!" And I freaking love bats! This corkscrew looks like everyone's favorite creature of the night and it opens your wine. What more could you want? It makes a great conversation starter at dinner parties and it's just a fun kitchen tool to have around. Why not make opening wine as fun (and cute) as possible?

I've become obsessed with doing my own nails at home. Not only does it save me money, but it's a place I'm able to explore my artistic side. This blooming gel is the product that allows you to create nail art that looks like marble or tie dye, and it's so easy to use and gives gorgeous results.

It took me a while to find the ideal Apple Watch band that was both beautiful and still comfortable, but I found it. This band is so stylish, but it doesn't itch or wear on my wrist. Plus, I can't even tell you how many compliments I've had on it!

Like I said, I'm obsessed with doing my nails at home and Beetles nail gel is my favorite. It gets the job done with a gorgeous and easy application that lasts for weeks! And the color options? Insane! This kit is more for the cooler weather months, but it's my favorite and I use these colors year-round.

One of the best parts of getting your nails done is getting gorgeous art done, but that can get more than a little pricey. With these Beetles art brushes, you can get fine, delicate lines on your nails and can create gorgeous art easily or just something as simple as a clean French tip.

I have a hard time remembering to take my pills. I've got AM pills and PM pills and I've got quite a few and it can just be too much to remember, but keeping them in this adorable pill container helps me remember and makes it easy to pack them away for trips.

I don't care what anyone says - Crocs are the most comfortable shoes out there. I'm not joking when I tell you that I own five different pairs. Not only are they comfortable as heck, they're also stylish and you can wear them with just about anything! Oh, and they're slip-resistant, which means they're a great choice for my nurse friends out there!

I'm a pretty alternative person. I'm covered in tattoos, I have multiple piercings, and my ears are gauged, but sometimes I want to lean into the cute, trendy alternative style, so I bought myself these gorgeous earrings to add just a little class to my ear piercings. And they're great for all sorts of piercings.

Believe it or not, our pups actually really love being in their kennels. A vet friend once told me you know you've trained them right when they feel safe in there and these kennels keep my pups feeling safe and keep them right where they need to be when we're out.

Work smarter, not harder. No time is that truer than when you're dealing with pets. Dogs are adorable, little geniuses that do whatever they want and get away with it, including eat my trash. But this touch-free can has them befuddled and ensures there are no more trash-eating messes in the middle of the night!

I mean, let's be honest, who doesn't like to think they're cool? But I'm especially chasing the "cool factor" after seeing femmes rock these cool head scarf/bandanas on TikTok. You can wear them on your head, around your neck, or just tie them to your purse for an unbeatable fashion statement. They do it all!

I'm a pretty heavily tattooed person. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent sitting in a tattoo chair getting my various body parts worked on, and none of those hours were pleasant until I found this Uber Numbing Cream. This has changed the game and significantly reduced my pain, and can be useful for a number of ailments.

My cats are picky little monsters that like things exactly the way they like it, including their litter boxes. Since we have four cats, we've got five (I know! It's a lot!) of litter boxes. But one of my cats refuses to go in any litter box that isn't open top. But this one? She loves!

Did I mention I have picky cats? One of my other cats refuses to drink water from a normal bowl. She'll only drink moving water because she's a fancy cat, which we discovered after a tough trip to the vet. This fountain is now a must in our house for our picky baby.

My espresso machine is my favorite thing I own, but something that's even better than my espresso machine? This knock box. Without this, I'd be digging espresso out of the catcher every morning with my fingers. With this gadget, I just knock it across the bar and can use my grounds for compost.

If you don't scoop a ton of litter, you might still want to get this scoop for yourself. This can stand up to pretty much any scooping you might have to do throughout the week and its hard metal body makes cleaning super easy. Plus, the handles come in cute colors!

The older I get, the more I realize things like greens are actually pretty tasty, not just healthy. The more I'm able, the more I'm adding it to my diets. This salad spinner is a huge asset in salad prep, so I don't have to worry about damaging my lettuce leaves while I'm cleaning and prepping them.

My younger siblings, like everyone's younger siblings, I imagine, love to razz me. One of the things my little sister is currently fixated on is what she calls my "hooves," so I had to get this foot file for myself to keep those callouses from turning into dry and cracking skin.

It's hard to find body jewelry that's affordable and high-quality, especially when it comes to stone plugs for gauged ears. I found these on Amazon, well-rated and reviewed, and have been wearing them for years now! They've lasted quite a few drops, many international trips, and lots of cat terrorizations.

I don't know about you, but I often feel like school didn't teach me all the things I need to know, or even all the things I should know. This game puts a fun spin on finding those gaps in your education and learning whatever you can while you're playing. My husband and I love playing this one!

I've gotta say, I truly love being right, and there's something about playing this game with my husband that brings me such joy, because I'm almost always more right than he is! And what could be more satisfying than that? Guess where events fit in the timeline to win the game. Sounds simple, but boy it's a toughie.

Practical items like this toothbrush holder aren't the sexiest of items, but it's one of my favorite Amazon purchases nonetheless. Previously, I was using old mugs, but they would gather water and gunk in the bottom and this metal holder is far more effective and still attractive on my sink.

If your cats aren't ridiculously picky like mine, this litter box is an awesome choice! Our other three litter boxes are this model because it's easy for the cats to get in and out, they feel safe and can be in private, and they're still easy to clean, so it's a win all around!

My husband and I are working to start a family, but it's an expensive endeavor and one of the most expensive parts of it is the pregnancy tests. They cost an arm and a leg and buying them every month feels like a waste of money. These super affordable Pregmate tests have been a lifesaver!

One of my favorite things is a clicky pen! There's just something so satisfying about clicking them while I'm thinking. This amazing case turns your Apple pencil into a cool and funky pen in a snap. It's one of the cool gadgets I've found from TikTok and is one of my attempts at being a "cool kid."
