42 Products That’ll Improve Your Life In Some Way Or Another

Just make sure you have ample room to do your little spin. I’ve definitely accidentally sprayed people with sand in the past. 😬

Promising reviews: “I’m not a small person, and I wasn’t sure how it would hold me, but this chair is wonderful. I have used it all over! I took it camping, I took it to the beach, and I even sometimes blow it up and use it in my living room while watching TV. The hardest part is getting out of it gracefully!” —Limoncello

“We took it backpacking (because it’s so lightweight), and it was so amazing to be sitting on a couch with friends high in the mountains. Delightful. I even slept on it one night because my air mattress popped! Also used for outdoor movie nights. We love how quickly and effortlessly it fills up with air. Great product.” —Jesse

This works best for wavy and curly hair. Check out its result on TikTok. 

Promising reviews: “I have tried many different types of foam and mousse, but this is my holy grail. I plop my hair in a microfiber wrap for about 10 min, scrunch out any excess water, section my hair into two sections, and apply four pumps of this mousse to each section, scrunching each time. Once it’s applied, I squeeze my hair once more with my microfiber and diffuse on low heat until it’s 80% dry, and I’m left with lovely curls. I apply no other products, just my shampoo, conditioner, and this mousse. :)” —Ashes

This oil has jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E to help promote strong nails and soften cuticles.

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 four-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!” —Diana

PSA: Make sure helmets are worn during bump-offs.

Promising review: “Such a lifesaver. I find this meal planner super helpful. I love the side-by-side for the menu and shopping list. Soo much easier for me. Plus, they come in cute color combos, and the back has a magnet to put it right on the refrigerator.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five styles).

You can easily mount this onto almost any tree by wrapping it around the trunk, hanging it from a branch, or a combination of the two. Also, reviewers note that it’s easy to swap out the included rope toy with a new one if need be.  

Promising review: “My pitfall puppy has destroyed every ‘tough’ and ‘durable’ toy possible, but this little guy? Lasted us almost a full year. Our older pitbull/lab is incredibly strong, and it still hasn’t broken under his weight. It tired them out, too, which is great. I also found it’s great for training the dog to drop/leave it because they can’t run away with the ball, which makes it easier to train.” —Ashlyn

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising review: “This is the first lip oil I’ve ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I’ve ever made!!! It’s super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it were bigger; it’s a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!” —Rachel

Promising review: “My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. The stains were 2–3 days old, too. I sprayed the shirt, let it sit for about 15 mins, and then washed the shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!” —Sloan Avery

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three sizes and multipacks). 

Promising review: “I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day and it filled the lawn in beautifully!” —Mariah

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

Promising review: “I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe.” —Charlotte Laim 

Get it from Amazon for $25. 

Promising reviews: “This is a great burn book. It has many different prompts to make me really self-reflect on my life and the choices I’ve made. It is really helpful and practical for any introspection you want to make in order to work on yourself.” —Leanetta S.

“I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you, and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change.” —Brent Helm

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!

Promising review: “These products have been a fantastic find for me. They’re exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin, easy to handle, and they hardly leave any marks. Whenever I forget a touch-up on my eyebrows before heading to work, I always have them in my emergency bag, ready for a quick fix. They work effortlessly without needing additional oils or creams. It’s truly the perfect solution for busy individuals on the go.” —nikita khandheria

Promising review: “Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it’s snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It’s absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don’t have a pet. I don’t care — it’s THAT good.” —DH

The heartleaf extract soothes sensitive and acne-prone skin. The brand recommends you follow this up with a foaming cleanser!

Promising review: “This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for two to three minutes, I could visibly see my white and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby’s bottom, and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light,t clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera” —Myshel Cagle

The high-density sponges are squishy on the inside with an emery layer on the outside. They can be cut into smaller chunks for cleaning nooks and crannies. 

Promising review: “Nice and thin. You’ll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I’ve tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i’ll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol).” —Hoarder

Promising review: “My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking, but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I’m totally in love with this product, I have long, fine hair but this doesn’t leave it greasy or weigh it down. I’ll definitely buy again.” —Ellie

Promising review: “I love this hamper. It was easy to set up, and it’s spacious and sturdy. I can see it’s going to keep my laundry space well-organized. Removing the hamper to dump loads in the washer was easy. This product exceeds my expectations and does exactly what it’s intended to do! Highly recommend.” —Susie

Get it from Amazon for $67.35+ (available in two sizes, two styles, and four colors).

Promising review: “I love the fact that I have my registration, insurance card, AAA card, and I threw in a prepaid card for emergencies all in one NEAT place. It’s slim compact and very nice looking too, Great Idea. It’s time to get organized, especially in your car.” —Tammyrriah

This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming “wake up” noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before they wake. 

Promising review: “I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped, especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning, and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm.” —Amazon Customer

“Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I’m guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I’m nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty.” —Andi

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 who likes to dig, a mini golden doodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who 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 ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously, the best purchase I have made!” —Rachel

Promising review: “For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it’s just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy.” —MER

This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. Grampa’s Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier.

Promising review: “Oh my god, I friggin’ love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don’t think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled.” —JG

This rhubarb-scented paste has just enough grit to be tough on stains but gentle on your belongings. 

Promising review: “Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny.” —Nancy F.

It comes with a spatula for removing the cream. Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Avoid face, genitals, nipples, and other sensitive areas.  

Promising review: “I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone.” —Crystal

Promising review: “I have a hard time with my glasses slipping on my nose throughout the day. I end up with a sore nose and have to take them off because I can’t stand it any longer. When I saw these, I thought I had to try them. And am I ever glad I did! They slip easily on my glasses and stay in place. They keep my glasses from slipping down my nose. I no longer have to constantly adjust them throughout the day. A total solution to my problem, and such a cheap solution! I’d definitely buy again, if I needed to or would definitely recommend to friends and family.” —Jackie

Promising review: “I LOVE these! I have bought these three times now and I need to order again! I bought one for myself and have had so many compliments, I started giving them as gifts. I actually used all the ink in one of mine too, because I use them all the time! I need to buy myself another set!!!!” —Josephine

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with “great” dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

Promising review: “This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning.” —AN

Promising review: “Super cute and good for organizing. You won’t really see the stand’s color if you load it to the top, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t like the color. Good price, and I dropped it and it was fine, so that’s cool too.” —Maria S.
