I get it – dropping money on stuff you don’t need but want can be a tough sell right now. Even if you do have the extra cash to spend, it can be hard to find stuff that’s worthwhile or actually works. The internet is literally packed with millions of appealing products – how can you possibly know which ones are worth your time?
Don’t worry fam, I’ve done all the work for you. One of my favorite places to shop for myself and my home is Amazon. You can get household goods, decor, beauty products, and all kinds of fun accessories all at the same time and sign up for free, expedited shipping with their Prime service! 15 years ago, I would never have dreamed of this level of convenience.
In this list, you’ll find only the most worthwhile products to help you choose wisely. Some of these products have been life-changing for people, while others are mainly for fun. I’ve included everything from candles and skin care products to party lights and useful kitchen supplies.

If you’ve been skipping wash day out of fear of detangling your locks, you’ll love this brush dryer!

I mean hours and I have tried every trick in the book. By the time I finish one section the other has gotten tangled again. My hair is so thick that it would take me 45 minutes to blow it dry, so I just never did it. I was able to blow dry my hair on the cool setting in 20 minutes. …I am able to comb thru my hair, now. I am so relieved. I think I am going to start seeing some real growth now that I will not be putting off my wash days because I simply don’t have the time for all that detangling.”
