Amazon Favorites

I seriously buy way too much on Amazon, so I thought I would share some of my favorites today, some of the girls favorites Wednesday and my Amazon wish list on Friday.

Basically, I run out of things all the time at the house and I would rather purchase it on Amazon with two day shipping than wait until I can go to Target on a Friday or weekend to pick it up. So here are my favorites and go-tos.
Amazon Favorites
ONE. About a year ago, our washer was smelling funny (all.the.time) and wasn't cleaning the clothes as well (ie soap marks on my black work slacks), so we bought a new one. This one is also a top loader washer and requires Affresh tablets for monthly cleaning. I seriously can only find them at Home Depot. They are always out of them at Target or just don't have them. So I buy them on Amazon in a six pack. And speaking of Affresh tablets, I need to reorder them.

TWO. Kait introduced me to these Tide Travel Sink Packs and they are amazing. I brought them to Europe with me in September and I used all three of them. I was able to wash my socks and underwear, so I wouldn't have to pack 15 days worth. I also washed a couple of shirts that had smoke or Indian food smell on them. Seriously amazing and will be going with me on all trips.

THREE. When I had surgery in August, I was told about Arnica. I ordered the tablets since I couldn't put the gel on my nose with a cast on. I took them every 4 ish hours and went through three boxes of them while I was recovering. My doctor commented on how much my bruising and swelling had gone down each time I went in. I owe it to Arnica. Not only did I keep using it after I was feeling a lot better, but it was perfect for airline travel. I took the Arnica every time after I landed so I wouldn't swell as much. Definitely buying again in preps for my next surgery.

FOUR. I had bought a cheap foam roller from Target years ago and my massage therapist kept telling me to buy a new one. She comes to my house and would see it every time and comment on it. Well, I was having some major knee and sciatic pain and finally bit the bullet. I love this foam roller and use it all the time which I never did with the old one.

FIVE. I used to use a Swiffer Wet Jet on my floors, but I found it just doesn't do an amazing job on them. So I went to Target looking for a new mop and they had two different ones. So needless to say, I didn't buy one. I turned to Amazon and found the O-Cedar Spin Mop. And I love this mop. I have replaced the mop head once since Walter pulled down a bottle of wine from the counter all over my floors and I didn't want to risk there being any leftover glass in the mop head. But I haven't bought another head since because I can put the head in the washer machine. Seriously a great mop.

SIX. This is a newer one, but still a favorite. I got the new iPhone 10s Max and needed a case. I wanted something durable and so I searched for a similar case to the one I had on my iPhone 8. I got the Spigen case and it is great. I have already dropped my phone and nothing happened. Thank goodness. But this case is great....especially when you are clumsy or have kids.

SEVEN. So I have talked about selling on Poshmark and I needed some mailers to send the clothes out in. I bought a few of them at CVS and they are just way too expensive, so I turned to Amazon and bought a 100 pack for $12. I haven't had any complaints about my packages and they seal so well.

EIGHT. Two years ago we were renovating our kitchen and I really wanted to renovate our bathrooms, but it just wasn't in the cards at the time. So I decided to upgrade my shower head as mine was crappy and a hundred years old. So I bought a dual shower head. The main head is huge and the detachable head is smaller, but amazing for cleaning the shower and kids. Ha.
