You know those keyboards that play the songs *for* you? Life can be like that.

I am a staff writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team who focuses primarily on practical and problem-solving products (although you can also catch me writing about cute, fun, and ~weird~ products, too!).

Promising review: "This is a really useful gardening tool that goes beyond cleaning between pavers — although it works well for that task also. The L-shape design with sharp edges is great for deep weeding in my flower beds and for digging out small roots. I find I reach for it more often than all my other gardening hand tools because of its versatility. It is very well made and has a good, solid feel in your hand as you work." —Wanda

Promising review: "These are by far the BEST food storage containers I’ve ever used. I love how clear they are. I like seeing my food, and I find I’m eating more colorful fruits and veggies because they look pretty. And these things seal tight, my soup has never leaked out. And the best part? They do NOT stain. Like, at all. Leave spaghetti in there for a few days, and still it washes easily with no staining. Top shelf dishwasher safe works great, but no stains even with handwashing. Just buy them, they are worth the hype." —Stephanie

Promising review: "This is a really well-designed makeup bag that balances function and aesthetics. The flat-lay opening is especially useful — it makes everything visible at once, which is a huge improvement over traditional zip pouches, where things get lost at the bottom. It easily fits skincare, makeup, and brushes, making it a great option for travel or even everyday organization at home. The capacity is generous without feeling bulky, and the structured shape helps it hold form, so it doesn’t collapse or become messy when packed. The material feels smooth and easy to wipe clean, which is important for something that’s holding makeup and skincare products. It also has a polished look that feels a bit more elevated than typical cosmetic bags." —Carefully Collected

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in lots of colors).

Promising review: "Wow. This works fast. As soon as I put it on, I could feel it working. I was surprised by how well it covers the sore. I thought, 'Is this thing magic?!' It stays put, too. I put it on last night and already feel so much better today, and it looks a lot better. This is important to have in stock just in case this comes out of the blue, which is what happened to me. I’m so thankful for the people who created this. This is the best product I’ve ever used. And I’ve used others with no effect. This is powerful stuff." —GG

Some reviewers recommend ordering one cup size up for correct coverage.

Promising review: "I wear a 38DDD, and finding a bra to keep them supported and dry has been a never-ending battle. I typed in 'minimize bras,' and I took a chance on this one. I’m so, so thankful I did! This bra does not disappoint! It’s true to size. It keeps my chest lifted without straps digging in. It's super soft on my skin and keeps me dry! I have bought five more and got rid of all my old bras. You will not be disappointed with these bras!" —Brynn Trimaldi

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's band sizes 28–48, cup sizes B–I, and 15 colors).

Promising review: "The design looks modern and blends nicely with the kitchen without taking up too much space around the faucet. I like that it absorbs small water splashes well and helps keep the area cleaner and drier throughout the day. The material also dries relatively quickly and is easy to set up." —Mayte Escate

Get it from Amazon for $16.39+ (available in seven sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "My cat loves it! It folds great, is easy to clean, and the bottom is nice to prevent your cat from trying to eat grass. My cat loves to go outdoors, often in his harness, or a stroller for walks; he loves to be outside." —Alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).

Promising review: "I’ve used Color Catchers for many years, so I can wash darks and lights together. They save time and money. (I’ve given boxes to each of my children as they head off to college.) You can tell they work because you see the color they soak up. Recently, a new purple shirt took me by surprise and ran profusely. I had two color catchers in that load, and they both turned deep violet." —Go Steelers 

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy says, "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."

Promising review: "I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPods Pro at the same time is a total game-changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —Anonymous

EcoDecors is a woman-owned small business that makes teak home products.

This bench has a weight capacity of 300 pounds.

Promising review: "I bought this product three years ago, and I’m writing the review now because wow! This stool is used daily in a wet environment and still looks beautiful, with no signs of water damage. The construction feels purposeful and solid, and the stool itself is very sturdy. Overall, this has been one of my best purchases, both functional and well-made." —Juno

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has good things to say about this! Check out her Fullstar veggie chopper review.

Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!" —Thia

Get it from Amazon for $6.24 (available in two- and six-packs).

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has this and loves it! Check out her Wet and Forget shower cleaner review!

Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed ’til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and a pack of two).

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy, and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Fellow BuzzFeed writer Jenae Sitzes is a fan of these sponges:

"I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful), and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"

Promising review: "I saw these on a BuzzFeed list and was instantly sold! I hated running out of brushes when doing my makeup, and using multiple eyeshadow colors or wanting to use the same brush for different colors. This has saved me from having to buy 10 more brushes because now I can use my favorite handful of brushes and just wipe them off and keep going! It blew my mind how easy this sponge knocks all the eyeshadow off my brushes! I cannot recommend these enough if you don't want to shell out for more makeup brushes!" —Erica Saldivar

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman has to say: 

"After working from home for the last three years, I've realized how much I value the air quality in my apartment. I live in an older building (think turn-of-the-century old), and there are lots of little holes and crevices where dirt, dust, and allergens can creep in. Coupled with the terrible air quality we've experienced in NYC because of wildfires in Canada a few months ago, the air in my home often triggers a sore throat, congestion, and sneezing fits in the morning. I have two air purifiers already, but I realized that buying replacement filters is ANNOYING and surprisingly expensive. The fact that this Shark air purifier can clean the air and doesn't need a filter replacement for five years is just *chef's kiss*. I keep this in the small office off the kitchen to help filter out odors from cooking, and it does a fantastic job. It also comes with a scented cartridge designed to keep your home smelling fresh. (Unfortunately, the scent gives me a headache, so I don't often have it running, but it does smell lovely!)"

Promising reviews: "Powerful for the size. It's easy to find a spot to place it. I love how quiet it is, so it can run through the night while we sleep. We have definitely seen a difference in our home with allergy relief and the freshness of the air. Simple to use." —Amazon Customer

"The air feels fresher, and it helps a lot with dust and everyday odors. I really like the NeverChange filter design because it saves money and hassle in the long run — no constant filter replacements to worry about." —LDevell

Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in four sizes and seven colors).

And while you're at it, you might as well grab these refills!

Promising review: "A MUST-BUY. These are great disposable toilet bowl cleaners. I don't know why I didn't buy them sooner. The handle easily attaches to the scrubber, you dip it into the toilet water, and start scrubbing away. The cleaning solution starts foaming a bit and cleans very well. Once done, just hover over your trash can and press the release button on the handle, and you're done. It's so much more sanitary and clean compared to using the old brushes. It's easy and no more worrying about the brushes being dirty and growing bacteria." —JL7390

This is the best and easiest pill organizer I have ever used. The ones that are organized by day have to repeatedly be refilled; each of the compartments in this container can hold an entire month's worth of pills, so that means refills only need to happen once a month! Which is a blessing for this lazy lady (me). It's cute, it's portable, and it's easy to use. What more can ya ask for?

Promising review: "This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month’s worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy, and I don’t have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand, and it doesn’t take a lot of space." —TA

Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I love it! It works great for me to manage my cat's food intake and I can also use the app if I need to make adjustments. I also like that it has a battery in case I lose power." —MasterKyle310

Promising review: "Seriously makes cleaning so much easier. I’ll definitely continue to purchase. The material is thick and moist. I especially liked the fact that it was strong and didn’t tear. Dog ears are clean, and they smell great." —Pat

I have this mounted in my entryway, and it is so dang cute and useful!

Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far, I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys, and so far, it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall, and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter

Promising reviews: "Would give 10 stars if I could. There has yet to be a stain my boys get on their clothes (or mine) that this stuff hasn’t been able to remove." —Sam

Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga is a huge fan of this spray: "My 2-year-old is a big ice pop fan, so I've got a long life ahead of me to be filled with stain removal. In the above photo, I held her while she sucked down a red ice pop on a 90-degree day. Naturally, it dripped all over my white tank top (note to self: stop wearing white around these kids). I was actually kind of excited because it meant I got to put my newly purchased bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray to the test! I followed the directions on the bottle that said to dampen the stained area, spray it with the stain remover, then pop it into the washing machine as usual. What do ya know — it really worked! Completely cleared away all the red stains! Not sure what witchcraft has been used to make this product, but I'm here for it."

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in multi-packs).

Promising reviews: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top, and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson

"I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall, and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had a stubborn Corningware stain; I had tried everything. Then I tried The Pink Stuff, and it easily removed the stubborn stain. I will now always keep this on hand!" —David C. Rein

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! And if you're not quite sure how to use stick sunscreen (yes, there's a "right" way), you can read about proper application here.

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $13.88 (available in two formulas). 

Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." —Kimba

"The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 JK I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth F

Even BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga is a fan:

"The spray itself is a WORKHORSE. It's incredible how well it works. I use it on all my pots, pans, and dishes. I even use it to clean my kitchen counters at the end of the day. It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. I've even seen a friend use it to immediately remove a coffee stain from a white sweater!"

Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.

Promising reviews: "After seeing the reviews for this on BuzzFeed so many times, I finally caved and ordered one. Now, I own nearly every cat hair removal device and some barely work and some work pretty well. This device is THE best ever, and I will never need to buy another!" —Andrea Sipe

"I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair, and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie; this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before-and-after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

This pitcher is BPA-free and dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "I ordered the larger size of this product, and I am very pleased with the quality and simplicity of it! It takes me no more than 2–3 minutes to get the jar prepped, and letting it sit 12–24 hours in the refrigerator has had the best results for me. The jar itself is easy to clean, but you do have to rinse the mesh cone out for quite a while to get all the grounds out. It fits perfectly in my refrigerator, and lasts me about 4–5 days. This cute cold brew coffee jar is such a life and time saver for my busy college mornings!" —Bailey Bryant

Promising review: "Between me (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Promising review: "Fabulous water pressure and it really does a good job of getting stuff out of your teeth. I was skeptical, but I used it and then manually flossed afterward, and there was no plaque or food bits to be found!" —Bea Goodwin

I am obsessed with clips and was scared this wouldn’t be able to fit my whole collection, but I was surprised by how much could fit on each rod. I would even buy a second one in the future." —alliengo
