Here's what my beloved fellow BuzzFeeder/soul twin Heather Braga has to say about it: " I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them.

Now I'm able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it's hard to reach inside the jar.

Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too.

It may not be as cute or plush as other cross-legged chairs on the market, but this is the superior model for ergonomic sitting and is everything I hoped it would be. I have tried every other kind of non-traditional chair on the market (kneeling, ergonomic, backless, yoga ball, etc.) in an attempt to find something that achieves the same things this chair does for a fraction of the price, and can tell you that there's really no equivalent out there — honestly, I probably spent more money trying to find cheaper alternatives for this chair than I did had I just purchased it outright when I first saw it." — Amy K. Get it from Amazon for $349 (available in four colors). 12. A vintage-inspired essential oil diffuser to waft calming scents through your space and add a subtle touch of ~quiet luxury~ by serving double time as decor.

This is a fun, subtle way to add a whimsical touch to a living room or bedroom without disrupting the aesthetic. Promising review: "Super happy. For the price and simplicity of this corner shelf I'm all for this product. It's was relatively easy to build — the wavy shape made it a little more confusing, but I built it in under an hour. It's easy to clean too, I just use a white erase and everything comes up. I've put rocks and books all over the shelf, so the weight limit is solid. Functional and cool I would recommend to a friend." — ashlynn Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in seven colors and in packs of two). 20.

She makes me so happy every morning when I make my bed and finish it off with a little bow on top. And then I get to "unwrap" her at the end of the day with the gift of sleep. Highly recommend, it changed the whole mood of my (admittedly very pink) room! Promising review: "I really love this pillow! I got the darker pink color and it looks great.

Amazon Promising revie w: "Short and sweet review: if you're a non-traditional sitter like me, this chair is worth every dang penny. It may not be as cute or plush as other cross-legged chairs on the market, but this is the superior model for ergonomic sitting and is everything I hoped it would be. I have tried every other kind of non-traditional chair on the market (kneeling, ergonomic, backless, yoga ball, etc.) in an attempt to find something that achieves the same things this chair does for a fraction of the price, and can tell you that there's really no equivalent out there — honestly, I probably spent more money trying to find cheaper alternatives for this chair than I did had I just purchased it outright when I first saw it." — Amy K. Get it from Amazon for $349 (available in four colors). 32.

We love a multifunctional gizmo!! Amazon Promising review: "Used it yesterday for the first time and loved it! No more cracking eggs on the countertop (one should never crack on the bowl due to bacteria). And then I could use it as a spoon rest! It's substantial, perfectly sized for setting a spatula o n (granted you don't want to put the spatula on raw egg, so I've used it more as a spoon rest). It will be my go-to from now on!" — Triathlons@50 Get it from Amazon for $12.99. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
