My Top 6 Favorite Amazon Purchases

I stumbled upon this round up of ‘60 Dope Things On Amazon Prime That Have A Cult Following‘ yesterday morning and it got me thinking about my own Amazon purchases. In the last year, there are 6 purchases that stand out in a major way, and I thought it would be really fun to share those with you. I’m also going to share the 6 {!!!} items I bought from the round up above, and why I’m excited about them.

Head Pillow – Y’all know I have raved about this pillow head for years now. It was a lifesaver when my husband and I were on a plane that emergency landed in Iceland {sans luggage} and had to spend a week in the hospital {more on that story later!} I’ve been it’s biggest advocate since. It blocks out light, sound and gives your head a pillow to lean against all in one. It’s also made of this insanely soft jersey material that gives you the feel of luxury {and the hope of real sleep!} on an otherwise lackluster flight/travel experience.

Packing Cubes – I just discovered the magic of these packing cubes before my recent trip to Indonesia and they were amazing. They’re like the magic satchel in Mary Poppins – the more & more I squeezed into them, the more they fit! I was able to pack so much more efficiently and especially loved that this set sent all different sizes.

Sweater shaver – Another brand new purchase {I just bought this a few days ago} but it has already been put to use on all my sweaters. When plugged in, this little sucker is powerful and amazing at removing all of the pills on my sweaters. I’m one of those people who will waste 30 minutes picking the pills off one by one, so this little sweater shaver is a true time saver!

Coravin – This one is a bit of a cheat, because I’ve had my actual Coravin since 2013, BUT, I do buy the Coravin refill capsules on Amazon prime all year round. This kitchen gadget is by far the most used item in our kitchen. To quote the Coravin website, ‘Coravin uses proprietary patented technology to access and pour wine from a bottle without pulling the cork.’ That means that you and I can pour a single glass of wine, from a sealed cork, without feeling like we need to commit to the entire bottle! Although this gadget is a bit more of any investment up front,  you will save money in wine through the years that it makes it beyond worth it. Like I said, I’ve had mine for over 5 years!

Velvet Hangers – When we moved into our new house last year, I decided to invest in nicer hangers. These velvet hangers are by far the best out there because of their no slip grip and wide form & I love the neutral black color {although there are lots of color options to choose from!} The best part about these is the price – if you were to buy these at The Container Store,  they’d be 3x the price. These are just as good, and I love that you can buy 3x more for the price of one! Makes re-doing your closet a more realist & budget friendly goal 🙂

Travel Steamer – I travelled more in 2017 than I ever have in my life, and let me tell what, I definitely got my moneys worth out of this little steamer. It’s small, compact, and super easy to use. There is nothing worse than showing up to your destination than with a suitcase full of wrinkled clothes {ok, lets be real, there are LOTS of things worse, but you get the jist ;)} & this little steamer works like a charm. Don’t know how I ever travelled without it before!

And now for my favorites from the article above.

Acrylic Knife Block Set – Obsessed with how chic & modern this knife block looks. Wouldn’t it look so beautiful on your counter? So much better than the clunky wooden ones you typically see. Did I mention it’s $40?! This would also make the best wedding gift if you know someone getting married!

3-in-1 Avocado Slicer – I’ve recently started eating avocado toast in the morning {I know, I know, so late to the game} and this little knick knack would be so helpful in getting the pit out {something that I always struggle with!} and slicing. Add a little of this seasoning and you WON’T regret your breakfast in the morning 🙂

Neutrogena Light Therapy Treatment Mask {similar} – Ever since I had an LED light therapy facial at Joanna Czech here in Dallas a few months ago, I’ve been obsessed with the concept of LED light treatment. I’m excited to say he’s en route to me and I’ll finally {hopefully!} be able to get that salon worthy glow at home.

Scalp Massaging Shampoo Brush – It’s freezing outside and my scalp is showing the effects – dry, flakey, and not too pleasing to the eye. This little scalp massaging brush intrigued me, and who doesn’t want a little head massage in the shower? Sold.

All In One Snail Repair Cream – Y’all know I’m obsessed with all things beauty recently, and I’m just as big of a sucker as the next person. So you tell me snail secretion is the key to youthful skin? Count me IN on this repair cream – can’t wait to test it out!

Dr. Pedicure Foot Mask {similar} – I love a good face mask, so I was just interested in what a ‘foot’ mask entailed. Will report back!
