I get asked all the time what my best Amazon finds are, especially when sales are on the horizon. While Amazon isn’t having a sale right now, you’ll want to save this for later. These are the Amazon finds that have made their way into my everyday routine and genuinely make life easier, more organized, or just a little more fun. Nothing fancy, just real-life staples I keep reaching for again and again.

The Best Amazon Finds – Beauty:

I have been a double-cleansing girl for years now. I first wash my face with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and give me extra moisture. For years I used Elemis, but let’s be honest. $70 for something I immediately rinse down the drain feels emotionally aggressive. Like I’m financially exfoliating myself. Enter Geek & Gorgeous. Does the same job, costs about $14, and doesn’t make me question my life choices at checkout. At this point, I’m not going back. Elemis and I are on a break I don’t plan to end.

Same situation with PawPaw makeup sponges. I was loyal to Beauty Blenders for years, paying premium prices like I was investing in tiny pink real estate. Turns out, they’re not that special. Same bounce, same blend, less guilt. And lately I’ve added this body retinol into my nighttime routine. It’s doing exactly what the expensive Sephora ones do, except without the dramatic price tag and emotional damage. It’s helping with crepiness, which I’ve discovered shows up uninvited on elbows and arms in your “middle-aged era,” along with wisdom and a sudden interest in fiber.

If you’re a blonde and like to put your hair in braids at night, I love these little hair elastics. They’re smaller and actually meant for braids and things that require effort I don’t have after 9 pm. Plus they’re basically my hair color, so they disappear instead of screaming “she gave up” from the ends of my braids.

And I would be genuinely negligent in my skincare influencer duties if I didn’t mention you need to try something, anything, from Sungboon Editor. It’s Korean skincare, it’s affordable, it’s incredible. I’ve already raved about their collagen serum and masks (probably to the point where my friends are considering blocking me), but this newest launch? Fully obsessed. At this point I trust them more than I trust my own decision-making at Target at 9pm.

Best Amazon Finds for Wellness:

On a personal note: I had my yearly physical yesterday and got my bloodwork back, and apparently my “wellness era” has gone a little…too well. Turns out I’ve been aggressively over-supplementing like I’m training for the Supplement Olympics. I’ve been taking Nutrafol + Athletic Greens/Grüns for years, and the result? I’ve been absolutely blasting my system with Vitamin D. Like, congrats to my bones, but I am over-working my poor kidneys.

So I cut it all out and am dialing it way back. Now I just have this Glow hormone drink every few days. It’s an 18-ingredient super powder that helps with hormones, cortisol, mood, energy, skin, hair, thyroid function, PMS symptoms and more. Basically everything I was trying to fix by taking 47 pills a day, but without feeling like a walking GNC aisle.

I also just recently purchased this vibration plate that I lovingly refer to as my jiggler. (My husband insists on calling it my “vibrator,” which is a conversation I did not ask to have.) It claims to help with weight loss, bone density, and basically solve all of life’s problems. I bought it for lymphatic drainage, a little balance work, and as a chaotic little finisher to my workouts. I crank it up to high and do 15 minutes of squats, arm circles, and tiny movements while aggressively vibrating. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s changing my life yet, but it does get the lymph flowing!

Then, there are two things I use every time I work out. My yoga mat and my weight lifting gloves. The only reason I bought the gloves was to protect my Oura ring when I lift weights. But these also give me a better grip when lifting heavy weights, and negate me having callouses all over my hands. And a thick yoga mat is just a must-have for anyone and everyone who works out!

Best Amazon Finds for the Kitchen:

I’ve absolutely beaten a dead horse about how amazing this espresso machine is. (For anyone who loves lattes, cappuccinos, or a straight shot of espresso directly to the soul.) But on days when I’m not emotionally prepared to clean all of its tiny parts, I go full low-maintenance mode: heat up water in my teapot, dump it over fresh-ground coffee in my French press, and call it rustic.

These other items I just recently discovered. First, these food heat lamps are a must if you entertain a lot! I used them to keep food warm when I hosted a bunch of PTO moms for a Christmas soiree. And BOY does it throw some heat! I initially had initially bought a warming mat until I saw reviews that it was cracking people’s countertops!! So back it went, and I am happy to report the heat lamps don’t pull that shit.

I got my mom and I each this insulated carrier that is big enough to hold even the largest lasagnas and casseroles. I’ve used it every time I take things to someone’s house for a potluck! It keeps food hot or cold for hours. The interior lining is made of food-grade aluminum foil and padded with EPE foam for great thermal resistance. 

Lastly, this little number was a gift to myself for Christmas. It’s a cake stand that also doubles as a cheese tray. It has an acrylic shelf that sits on top of the wood when using it as cake stand for easy cleaning. Flip it over and the base acts as a dip/nut/olive/fruit holder for a cheese tray!

Best Amazon Finds for Travel:

If you followed our voyages through Japan, you’ll remember this anti-theft bag. It will be my bag for every trip abroad. It has anti-theft features like hidden slash resistant body panels, locking zippers, dual adjustable stainless steel cable straps that can be attached to a stationary object to prevent a grab-n-go, and RFID technology to prevent high-tech electronic readers from capturing your personal information. It’s also roomy as hell! I also just purchased this crossbody for our upcoming trip to Paris and London and will report back! It’s definitely more sleek than the Travelon one and is made of water-proof leather.

There are three things I travel with on 100% of our trips. First, a travel journal to write down what we do daily. It’s not only been fun to look back on with the fam, but I write down tiny details that would otherwise be lost. (Like the name of my favorite stationary store in Japan, or the name of the restaurant with the must-have salad we ate on the French Rivera.) Then, I bring what I lovingly refer to as my “bottle condoms.” I put one of these bottle covers on top of anything that has the potential to leak or explode and ruin my day. (Foundation, sunscreen, lotion, bug-spray, you name it.)

The third thing I never leave home without is a portable charger. Yes, even on short trips. I can’t count the numbers of times I’ve had to whip this out to charge my daughter’s ipad. Or my phone when Vince is driving us and I am navigating us out of the airport to our hotel.

Lastly, if you’re a supplement girlie like my former self, this pill container is elite. It fits everything! Vitamins, Imodium for when your stomach betrays you, Tylenol for the “why does my head hurt in Europe” moments, and your trusty bloat pills for when pasta wins. Especially when traveling abroad, I refuse to be wandering the streets like a lost tourist googling “pharmacy” in a panic while one of us is fighting for our life. We come prepared!

Best Amazon Fashion Finds:

I won’t bullshit you here – I am not buying the majority of my clothing off Amazon. I have my favorite boutiques instead like Vici and Red Dress Boutique. But, for the items above, I love them so much that I have each thing in at least two colors. This sweater is the softest, warmest thing and has the best over-sized fit to go with tailored jeans or leggings. I love this top and have it in the mint green and pink and get compliments on it all the time! But my favorite? This quarter zip hoodie. It’s slightly cropped, super thick, and is a better dupe for Lululemon than Lululemon itself.

Miscellaneous Amazon Finds I can’t live without:

Lastly, I have a few items I use daily that are as random as they are useful. Well, there is one item I thankfully don’t need daily, but am happy to have. And that is this pepper gel. The black one is the actual gel and the blue is filled with water so you can practice hitting some fucker in the eyes! YES! We have to be safe out there girls!

The towel warmer is a must, and also another thing I’ve talked about many times. If you’re in a cold climate like me in Colorado, you’ll love this. You can set the timer for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Toss your towel in, turn on the warmer, take a shower and when you get out, voila! A toasty towel to warm you right up. It really elevates any shower or bath experience!

The earring stands are things both of my daughters use daily. They like to switch out their earrings and this is such a cute way to display all of their options. And then, this micro-stitch gun is a girl’s best friend. I used it on the dress in the photo below so that I wouldn’t have a huge fashion mishap.

Now, I hope this was useful to you guys. These items are the ones I use over and over again. If you ever want to check out more of my faves, my Amazon storefront is here. I also post all of my finds on LTK here. There is also one section I didn’t cover in this blog because I have an entire article dedicated just to home organization here. As always, I appreciate you stopping by!
