We love how clever this snap-on pasta strainer is. It clips right to the side of a pan or bowl, and with just a tilt, you have freshly strained pasta. It is convenient, useful, and durable. It's perfect for cooks who want to save space. - Amanda R.

Poor water pressure in your shower? Get ready to love showering again with this luxury shower head. Citing poor water pressure in her shower, Cindy G. was so excited to try the Spark Pod Shower Head. It’s so easy to install, and according to Cindy, it made an instant difference. “Wow! What a difference this new shower head makes. It truly is luxurious! It has definitely improved the water pressure, as well.”

This overnight lip moisturizer promises smoother, softer lips, and my experience supports that. I do like that it comes with a small applicator, so you don't have to put your fingers in the pot. A little bit goes a long way for me. My first attempt, I scooped out a generous amount, and it was far too much. I am overly sensitive to tactile feelings, so that was an immediate no for me. It was sticky and uncomfortable, and I immediately had to wipe it off. I did try again with a very conservative amount, and it was so much better. It lasted on my lips all night, and I did wake up with softer, hydrated lips. It has become part of my nightly bedtime routine. - Shannon W.

After years of using loofahs, I was looking for something more. My skin didn’t feel as smooth as it used to after my showers. That’s when I found this washcloth. After one use, I was hooked. This exfoliating towel leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. The towel's long length makes it easy to scrub those hard-to-reach spots on my back without any awkward acrobatics. Even my husband loves it. - Christina B

If you’re already obsessed with the milk_shake whipped cream leave-in foam like I am, let me introduce you to its equally fabulous sibling — the milk_shake leave-in conditioner spray. It’s got that same dreamy, heavenly scent (seriously, why can’t all hair products smell this good?) and does an amazing job of controlling frizz without weighing my hair down.

Now, if I had to choose, I’d say I still love the foam just a tiny bit more because it gives me slightly better coverage. But, this spray is still a winner and definitely worth having in your haircare lineup. - Cheryl K.

I used this lash conditioner and was shocked to see a difference in one week! I used the lash conditioner every morning and, within one week, saw results. - Laura S.

The CGK linens, striped sheets, king size were amazing! They came in a simple plastic bag, and there was no scent when I opened the bag. They fit really well onto my king-size mattress. Unfortunately, they only had two pillowcases, and I would rather have four that match, but it’s easy to add two more, and it helps change the look!

They washed really well and seem quite durable. The best part about it is that they had stripes!! This way, it was simple to know which way to put them on the bed. I love stripes! I wish more sheet sets came with stripes. - Theresa H.

I like this hair tonic! It felt like my thinning hair looked fuller! I love the fact that you can apply the product on wet or dry hair since I only wash my hair every other day. My hair did not look greasy or like I had put a product in it — love that. This product did not irritate my scalp, which was wonderful. My hair started to thin post-Covid, and I have been searching for a product to help it look thicker and fuller. This helped. - Beck S.

As a person who gets a regular period, it's been a struggle to find the right products, but over time, I've managed to source a great organic pad option. The company also makes tampons if that's more your style, but these clean cotton pads are highly absorbent, comfortable, and really stay in place for as long as you need. - Amanda E.

As someone who gets deep, painful heel cracks in the winter, this heel cream is a lifesaver. I spend three-quarters of the year in flip-flops, and this cream not only gets rid of my painful heel cracks, but it keeps my feet soft, pretty, and sandals-ready. My feet feel and look better after about a week of use. - Karen F.

I recently turned a bedroom into a closet, and while I LOVE the whole closet, the thing I'm most excited about is this telescoping valet rod. I added it to the side of a closet unit, and I can pull it out, hang a garment, and steam my clothes right in my closet! I can also use it to pull out outfits and hang them temporarily while I pack. Then, the rod tucks back away so I won't put my eye out. Love, love, love this! - Karen F.

These are amazing! The box they arrived in was small and they were wrapped really tightly — a small inconvenience and totally worth it. The pillows looked like pancakes at first, but they fluffed up a bit in a few hours. (Pro tip: Stand them upright to get them to fluff faster.) The pillows aren't super plushy or thick, but they are soft and give just enough support. You can squeeze them for more cushiness if you want it. The best part is that they really are cooler than most. All pillows will get warm eventually from body heat, but these ones stay cool a lot longer than any others that I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them). I would buy these again in a heartbeat, they're great. - Carrie G.

This is my new go to self tanner! I love this brand and all their products, and they are super clean ingredients! It has a nice smell and it really does work! Gives you a beautiful bronze glow that you don’t have to worry about any harsh chemicals! I love it! - Jamie F.

These pimple patches were so easy to use and effective. They were also comfortable. I can't wait to use them again. - Jennifer W.

This heat protectant spray goes on as a fine mist. It is a lightweight formula that does not feel sticky once it has been applied. I have fine hair, and some products make it feel weighed down. This one does not. My hair felt smooth and silky after blow-drying it with very few flyaways, which was a plus. The product states that it improves split ends by 86% after one use, and I am on board with that statistic. - Jenny J.

We all remember the Olaplex craze, but did you know that there's something new on the market? It's really great, transforming dye-damaged hair in under four minutes. Simply apply the leave-in hair mask post-shower (don't forget to forego conditioner!) and let the formula work to physically repair your hair. Yes, it really is that fantastic! - Amanda E.

Everyone wants to feel safe in their home or away in a hotel room, and sometimes that requires adding an additional lock to your door. This particular device doesn't require any tools to secure and it can be installed in seconds, adding another layer of lockage and security so you can sleep with peace of mind. - Amanda E.

I received the Beauty by Earth organic lip scrub in vanilla scent/flavour. First impression when opening the jar is the scent is divine! It is similar to other lip scrubs I have tried, where you apply a bit of product to your lips, give it a scrub, and rinse. I am in the midst of a cold bitter Canadian winter, and while I never leave without chapstick, my lips have still taken the toll of the cold bitter dry weather. The product had a nice gentle scrub feeling — not too abrasive but enough to be effective in smoothing out all the rough spots. After a quick rinse, my lips felt smooth and hydrated. The formulation contains beeswax, oils, and vitamin E, which all work together nicely to leave your lips in great condition. Bonus that the ingredients are organic and plant-based vegan. Overall, great product. A little goes a long way, so although the tub is on the smaller size, it should last quite a long time if using per directions. I will definitely be re-purchasing once I finish this jar. - Shannon W.

This nifty storage holder is a be-all-end-all I rely on to keep my plethora of bobby pins in one place. Gone are the days of searching fruitlessly for a stray bobby pin! With this magnetic invention, I always know where to find a daily pin. Plus, it also works for paperclips and sewing needs, too! - Amanda E.

I used to be someone who stacked t-shirts, tank tops, and the like in messy stacks. Ever since my friend introduced me to drawer dividers, my life has changed for the better. The malleable dividers sit in each drawer and make it so simple to quickly roll up a t-shirt or section off socks in a seamless way. - Amanda E.

Wow! My eyelashes are a lot more sparse as I've gotten older (I'm in my early 50s now), and this mascara was a game-changer. It almost looked like I was wearing false eyelashes after applying it. (My eyelids even felt a little heavier, like how they feel when I wear falsies). Let's start with the packaging — this is a very upscale-looking product in a brushed bronze metal tube. The applicator brush is an odd shape, with longer bristles at the end and thinner in the middle. It took a little getting used to applying without clumping, but when I took my time, I realized I could fully coat each of my lashes evenly with the mascara, even the shorter lashes closer to my inner eye, which made them seem fuller and longer. The mascara did a great job at staying put, too, although I don't think it is technically waterproof. At the end of the day, my lashes still looked great, and there were no telltale smudges under my eyes. - Jessica H.

Loved this hydrogel facemask! It felt cooling to the skin with a refreshing and hydrating sensation. It adhered well to my skin even while sleeping overnight. It was very comfortable. Upon removal my skin looked moisturized and plumped. I had a nice glow. - Beck S.

I do yoga at home daily, and I need something that'll protect my sensitive knees. This plush yoga mat is perfect. It's thick enough that my knees are protected without having to fold it over, but it's not so thick that I struggle to hold balancing poses. Plus, it lasts a really long time before you need to replace it. - Karen F.

This is an awesome product! I love how small and compact these are for on-the-go. They absorb oil and take away shine without removing your makeup. It’s great for photo moments or for a date night to keep your skin looking fresh and matte. - Koryne K.

As someone who hikes frequently, I'm always on the lookout for hiking pants that'll make my experience even better. I often hike in leggings, which aren't ideal since many lack pockets, and sometimes they start to fall down as I hike. But these hiking pants are perfect! They have great pockets, they wick sweat, and the drawstring keeps them firmly in place. Plus, they're lightweight and super comfortable, and they're durable. They're the perfect pants for every outdoor adventure. - Karen F.

I love this brand, and this lip scrub didn’t disappoint! Clean ingredients make your lips feel so good, and it has such a yummy smell of vanilla. Doesn’t overly scrub your lips and seriously feels like Chapstick but creamier. I love it! - Jamie F.

This is another one of those cheap-yet-genius upgrades I wish we'd made ten years ago. The Tubshroom sits in your drain and catches all hair before it can wash down into your pipes, eventually leading to an expensive (and disgusting) clog problem. I haven't had to call the plumber once since we started using it, and between two adults, a long-haired kiddo, and a dog, this things gets a lot of use!

I have grandkids and adult children, so the car gets packed quickly. I thought this cup holder tray would be perfect for small or large road trips or if I was just working in my car between appointments. I love the length of the arm, the swiveling capabilities, and the size of the tray. However, I wish the base was weighted so it stayed more stable and stationary in the cup holder. - Kimberly B.

I love this mascara. It is perfect for my lifestyle. Easy to use, very natural, not clumpy. Nice clean look. I like a natural look, not overly made up. - Sue H.

I really like this concept. Lipstick tends to bleed on me, and this product does not. It stays put since it stains your lips. I wish the stain lasted longer. - Kimberly G.

This laundry stain treater is a game changer. I have a two and four-year-old, and nothing goes without spills and stains! Plus, not to mention accidents with potty training… I do 5-6 sprays on most items before going in the washer, and most things come out. You name it, I’ve sprayed it. It works great. Also, the two-pack is a game-changer. I can have one on the kitchen counter, and just an extra for when one walks off. Recommended for anyone with kids. - Ashley H.

These laundry detergent sheets work well on stains compared to traditional detergent. My kids appreciate that the scent isn’t overwhelming. - Mary C.

This spray is now a daily used skincare product! During the winter months, my skin can get dry and spotty. This is the perfect refresh to moisturize and kill acne-causing bacteria. I use it after any physical activity. I’ve noticed some of my dark spots look lighter. My skin feels smoother and looks clearer. The travel-size product is perfect; I keep one in my purse and one at home. There is a very subtle smell, almost like chlorine, but the smell disappears after drying. - Koryne K.

I love this body scrub! I live in Michigan, and the winters are brutal on our skin. My skin gets dry and flaky. This organic body scrub moisturized and hydrated my skin. I love the peppermint smell. I feel like I’m at a spa while using the scrub! I feel great using this product frequently due to its organic ingredients. My legs and feet feel moisturized and smooth after showering! - Beck S.

I absolutely love this collagen body oil. I’m zooming in on 60, and I’ve started noticing crepey skin all over the place. I love to smooth on this oil right out of the shower to tighten and moisturize my skin and help it defy gravity for a few years longer. – Karen F.

I absolutely love these Pink Stuff Squeezy Sponges. They're abrasive enough that they'll scrub away stuck on grime (take that, chili that has baked onto my Le Creuset pot) but not so harsh that they'll scratch. These are my go-to scrubbers for just about every stain and every surface. - Karen F.

I have been using this hyaluronic acid serum now for about four months along with a C cream moisturizer. It feels really nice going on, and I do feel like my skin tone has evened out some with this product. My fine lines may be less noticeable. I am 73 and am including a photo. - Jan G.

I have never used an eyeshadow primer before, but it works well! It definitely helps your eye shadow color stand out more and go one easier and last longer. The product itself feels really nice going on and doesn’t get caked in the creases. - Taylor M.

Absolutely love this sheet set. I am often skeptical when I get sheet sets online as we have a tall mattress with an additional foam topper, and the fitted sheet often won't fit properly despite the claim of the16-inch depth. Well, these ones fit great. The fabric is soft and comfortable to sleep on. You also don't get "hot" when sleeping on them and on the pillowcases. Now, I wouldn't say they are cooling per se, but your sleeping temperature isn't hot in these either. The option of so many colours is fantastic to fit in with any decor or preference. I've been sold on these. - Callie B.

This wireless meat thermometer is the temperature probe I've sought for years but never found. You can leave the probe in the meat while it's in the oven and monitor it on the base station at 500 feet away or on the app even farther! There are two probes, so you can cook two meats at the same time. I love that I can always get my roast out of the oven at the exact right moment. No more overcooked meat for us. - Karen F.

I own a German Shepherd dog, and so have purchased more than one pet hair removal device in the past couple of years, but the Chom Chom roller is one of the few that actually works! It reminds me of a lint roller in the sense that I can roll away fuzz and pet hair off my couch, clothing, rug, etc., quickly. It helps make clean-up a lot easier with a pet and makes vacuuming less of a chore. Plus, I don't have to clean or replace it — I just toss the hair out of the small compartment when I'm done. - Amanda E.

These shirts are amazingly soft and comfortable. Great fit. True to size! Definitely a staple that everyone needs in their closet. - Taylor M.

OMG, I love this cream! I have struggled with foot pain for years. I found this product gives me relief when no other products seems to work. I like that it is a topical product, yet is effective for relieving foot pain. I experience no irritations with this cream. An added bonus is that it moisturized my feet! I love that the active ingredient is just menthol. I cannot recommend this product enough! It has been a lifesaver for me. - Beck S.

I had my own nail tech business when I was younger, so I have always had an avid interest in the appearance of my nails. Unfortunately years of artificial nail use have taken their toll resulting in weak, thin, and damaged nails. I no longer use artificial nails and am determined to regain a modicum of cuticle and nail health, and the cuticle oil really helps to not only soften my cuticles and reduce hangnails, but it also seems to be helping my actual nail beds!! I also love the way it brings back a refreshing shine to days old polished nails. - Peggy G.

I LOVE this sunless tanner. It’s a bronzing mist for your face, and it’s so perfect! It’s not sticky, not thick, sprays beautifully, and really gets you a shade darker, but it’s subtle, so it doesn’t look horrible! The smell is also really nice, too. I’ve recommended it to so many friends already! It is going to be my go-to all summer long! - Jamie F.

DEET and other harsh chemical insect repellants deserve to stay in the past, and Grand Tongo’s insect repellant spray has sent them to the afterlife. Mosquitoes, ticks, and sand flies might not be scared of much, but they hate to sense this repellant coming. Three scent combos (citrus & sandalwood, fragrance free, or green tea & mint) mean you have the perfect spray for any occasion…or nose.

Microbeads are out and heat-activated technology is in! This vitamin C face wash is unlike any you’ve tried before. Every wash delivers gentle exfoliation to smooth pores and brighten skin.  

There's a reason the original Safe Grabs microwave mat from Shark Tank has been wildly successful. With functions ranging from a trivet and bottle opener to a splatter guard and food cover, you might reach for this handy microwave mat every single day. It only takes one use to see why this kitchen tool is quickly making a name for itself.

I was overdue for new tweezers and very happy that I got this set. I've used a lot of types of tweezers (can you say 90s overplucked brows?), and I think these are the best I have ever owned. They came very sharp and can grab super fine, short hairs that my eyes can't even see. Luckily, I have not had to use the splinter removers yet, but I am sure they will be of the same quality. Additional bonus is the handy case they came in to keep everything together. - Shannon W.

After years of using loofahs, I was looking for something more. My skin didn’t feel as smooth as it used to after my showers. That’s when I found this washcloth. After one use, I was hooked. This exfoliating towel leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. The towel's long length makes it easy to scrub those hard-to-reach spots on my back without any awkward acrobatics. Even my husband loves it. - Christina B

The blending sponge was just firm enough — but not too firm. The brow/liner brush helped shape and color my eyebrows perfectly. The size of the powder brush was nice, not too big but not too small — with the perfect angle. I don't wear eye shadow often, but the shadow brush is soft and worked well. What I loved about this tool is the 4-in-1. I am all about minimalist packing, and this gives me everything I need in one place. - Amy B.
