Sharing 10 of the most useful things I’ve bought from Amazon.
Hi friends! How are ya? I hope that you’re having a lovely week! I have a day full of client calls but am going to sneak in a lunchtime Peloton ride. Also, I’m so pumped that so many of you have signed up for Detox and Thrive! Join us here. We start Sunday and it’s freeeeeee.
For today’s post, I wanted to share some of the most useful things I’ve purchased from Amazon. These are definitely more functional finds, but they’re things that constantly bring me joy because they work well, I use them constantly, and they make life a little bit easier. I always love hearing about the best of the best, so if you’ve found something you love lately, please share the goods in the comments section!
10 of the most useful things I’ve bought from Amazon
1. Retainer cleaner
Why did I wait so long to get a retainer cleaner? I initially was going to ge the Zima one, but it’s $100, and this one was $40 and works incredibly well. It makes me so grossed out to think that I used to simply brush my retainers. They’re SO much more clean when I use this!
2. Tineco vaccum/mop
The hype is real, friends. I never thought I’d love a mop, but I do. It works extremely well, and even though I’m not supposed to (you’re supposed to only use their clenaing product), I add a tiny bit of Branch Basics or Method spray and mop to the water. The floors are sparkling clean. I didn’t get the self-cleaning version, so it’s a little bit of a pain to clean each time, but worth it.
3. Weighted vest
I added this to my morning walking routine because it’s an easy way to add extra resistance and core stabilzation to walks. I ordered the 8-lb vest and love wearing it while I walk Maisey, for hikes, and while I’m using my walking pad.
4. Walking pad and standing desk
Some days, this is the only way I can hit 10,000 steps. I’m at my desk a LOT throughout the day, so I use the walking pad for phone calls, Zoom/conference calls (where I don’t have to present or take a ton of notes), and to sneak in little movement vitamins throughout the day. I also have this standing desk, and this TV mounted to the wall so I can Airplay videos from my computer, or watch a movie. Worth mentioning that I got one of the least expensive options, and it’s perfect.
5. Label maker
This little label maker brings me so much joy and I use it way more often than I thought I would! It comes in handy when I need a quick label for the kids for sports or school.
6. Ancient minerals magnesium spray
I use this magnesium spray every single night and the kids love it, too. I take an oral magnesium, but sometimes it can be helpful to use both a topical and oral magnesium, especially since so many of us are deficient in magnesium. This spray tingles a tiny bit at first, but I got used to it after a while. This was one of the biggest gamechangers for my sleep years ago, and I still use and love it.
7. A portable charger
The Pilot ordered a few of these, and I thought I’d rarely use it. I was sooo wrong. My phone dies quickly, so this comes in handy for travel, long days at Disney, and dance competitions.
8. Rebounder
You can read all about why I love the rebounder here! I sneak in about 5 minutes of jumping each day, which is great for mood and the lymphatic system. The kids love it, too 🙂
9. Dishwasher cleaning tablets
I’m a little embarassed to state that I didn’t know cleaning your dishwasher was a thing until kind of recently. I would wipe ours down, but would get so annoyed at the hard water buildup. Teri posted about these a while ago, and they are amaaaazing. You just pop one in your washer and run it. When you open the washer, it’s perfectly clean. Since we got a new dishwasher and I want to maintain it, I’m glad that we ordered these.
10. This Apple watch band
I was looking at $200 Apple watch bands and didn’t want to do it, because I was considering breaking up with my Apple watch anyway. (I miss wearing just a normal pretty watch.) In the meantime, I found this for $20 on Amazon! The quality is excellent and looks better with *real clothes* than the sporty plastic band.
