37 Things I Bought on Amazon and Would Buy 100X Again

My name is Erin, and I’m addicted to Amazon. Okay, so that might be a bit dramatic, but ever since I got Prime it seems like I can’t go one day without ordering something. It’s about a million times easier than actually going to a store, and while it’s made my bank account significantly less full, it’s also been a great way to discover what products I absolutely cannot live without. The following 37 items are the best of the best, and just thinking about what my life would be like without them makes me want to run to Amazon.com and hit that “order” button ASAP.
