10 Things We've Tried, Loved, And Think You Will, Too

"When I impulse-bought this mini spatula (called a "supoon") at the grocery store a few years ago, I knew it was good, but not THIS good. See that little dip in the neck? That means you can set it down on the counter and whatever's on it won't end up touching said counter.
Here's a few of the many things I use this dishwasher-safe beauty for — and yep, it makes it into basically every dishwasher load, I use it THAT frequently.
- Scraping every last bit of sauce, curry, salad dressing, or soup out of takeout or leftover containers, like in the picture above. This happens several times a week. I want every bit of all that flavor!!
- Measuring out a few teaspoons of water when re-steaming takeout rice in the microwave.
- Scraping out yogurt, hummus, salsa, hot sauce, peanut butter, expensive Bonne Maman jams, etc., etc., when I'm down to the last little bit of each. (It's too big for most beauty products, but that's fine.)
- Mixing together a quick stir-fry sauce in a measuring cup, then scraping that sauce out of the cup into the pan, all with a single utensil.
- Scrambling together a mixture of eggs and whatever else I want in a bowl and scraping all of that into a pan.
- Scooping pancake batter my MIL sent over into a pan to make my 9-month-old fresh pancakes, including scraping the last bits out to get as much pancake as possible.
Like, I know I functioned in the kitchen before I had this, but this saves me so much time scraping over and over with a spoon. And that price! A no-brainer." —Natalie Brown

"My 1-year-old is a big ice pop fan, so I've got a long life ahead of me to be filled with stain removal. In the above photo I held her while she sucked down a red ice pop on a 90 degree day. Naturally, it dripped all over my white tank top (note to self: stop wearing white around these kids). I was actually kind of excited because it meant I got to put my newly purchased bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray to the test! I followed the directions on the bottle that said to dampen the stained area, spray it with the stain remover, then pop it into the washing machine as usual. What do ya know — it really worked! Completely cleared away all the red stains! Not sure what witchcraft has been used to make this product, but I'm here for it." —Heather Braga
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 minutes, 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).

"I have this machine and can assure you it is actually worth every penny. IDK about you, but where I live in New York, it's gotten VERY expensive to go out for ice cream (or buy it to bring home). Now that I have a family of four, it just makes more sense to find a way to make our favorite flavors at home. Setting the Ninja Swirl up was very simple; the "hardest" part is just remembering to freeze the "base" of your ice creams ahead of time so they're ready to be "spun" when you want to eat them. I've seen all over TikTok how people 'meal prep' their ice creams for the week and just pop 'em in the freezer (incredible). Anyways, the soft serve feature is incredible! With our first attempt, we tried making chocolate soft serve ice cream and were so surprised how it tasted just like a Wendy's Frosty. My kids also had a blast making and eating their homemade treats." —Heather Braga

"I was a little nervous when I first opened this since it's a cream consistency, and cream concealers are typically a one-way ticket to Cakey Makeup Town on my dry skin. However, if I use my finger to apply, it melts like butter and looks SO skin-like, which is surprising for how vibrantly peach it looks in the pan. Honestly, I could skip concealer if I wanted to — it's that good. Charlotte is 100% a wizard, and you cannot tell me otherwise." —Daniel Boan
Get it from Sephora for $32 (available in two shades).

"This pillow looks amazing on my furniture! I constantly switch it between my office chair and my bed. I love using it while watching movies because it has a pocket I can slip my hand into to keep warm. It's incredibly soft and comforting, and I love snuggling with it. I usually use weighted blankets, but since it's summer and too hot for one, this pillow is the perfect replacement. I just place it on my stomach, or wherever my body needs some extra weight, and I sleep like a baby. It's great at my desk too. I find myself petting it often. The outer fur feels like petting a cat, except I’m not allergic, and it doesn’t jump off me." —Brittney Trinh
Get it from Hugimals World for $92.

"I've been using this for the last few weeks and, oh my GOSH, it is everything to me. The smell is *chef's kiss* perfection. I've been applying it after my nightly showers, and it makes me feel like I've got my life together (or at least somewhat of a skincare routine). It soaks into my skin instantly and doesn't feel greasy in the slightest. The bottle is BIG and has a pump, so it's very easy to grab more when my hands are already lotioned up. Be careful, this is going to be your new fave." —Heather Braga

"Also, raise your hand if you've ever had a brow pencil break on you. 🙋♂️ Fortunately, this one is sturdy yet thin enough to make realistic hair-like strokes. The pencil itself has never broken while I was using it (I've had many a brow pencil from drugstore brands snap in half before I even use it two times), and the spoolie at the end is softer than similar pencils, allowing for more precise blending and less redness-causing irritation." —Daniel Boan

"I present to you: my holy grail travel sneakers. These bbs are so lightweight, you could probably set them on a balcony and a mere breeze would blow them away (okay, I'm not sure how accurate that actually is, but I swear I can't be far off). But don't let their cute 'n' casual look and light-as-a-feather weight fool you — these shoes mean BUSINESS. I've worn these on a three-hour tour of the Vatican, through the Colosseum, and finished the day off with a cobblestone-filled walk back to the hotel — and I felt like I was ~floating~ through it all. And that was just *one* day. They do scuff up a bit easily, but they're a breeze to clean. Nothing some handy-dandy shoe wipes can't handle! Trust me, the cloud-like comfort these shoes offer is 1,000% worth it." —Gabriella Manjarrez
Get them from Amazon for $75 (available in women's sizes 4–13, two widths, and in 35 colors).

"When it comes to Tubby Todd (a small business), I'm all in. I've yet to be disappointed by a single one of their products, and their latest micellar water has been no different. If we're being honest, bathtime is an ordeal. I have a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old, so you can only imagine the sheer chaos of sitting in the Splash Zone during their nightly bath. If given the opportunity to *skip it* or put it off until tomorrow after a rough day, I'm going to take it. This product has been an excellent solution for freshening my kids up before bed on days where we haven't done anything *too* wild requiring a full scrub down. It's made with aloe leaf juice to help hydrate baby's skin without irritating it. It also removes dirt/oil without stripping natural oils (the same way YOUR fave micellar water does). I love the lavender and rosemary scent, but I appreciate that there's an unscented option, too!" —Heather Braga
Tubby Todd is a small business specializing in personal care products for kids.
Get it from Tubby Todd for $17 (available in two scents and with or without reusable cloths).

"I have the super popular Dior Lip Glow Oil, which is nice and definitely makes me feel fancy, but the super sheer tint and goopy texture make its $40 price tag tough to repurchase. However, this L'Oreal gloss not only has way better color payoff and shine but also smells way better — like a sweet vanilla that's not overly cloying. Milky Nu is the one I reach for when I just want a subtle pink shine, and Worth It is such a stunning rosy-mauve shade that it gives Clinique's Black Honey a run for its money." —Daniel Boan
Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in 10 shades).
