MKS PAMP to Participate at Mining in Motion as Bronze Sponsor
The Mining in Motion 2025 Summit – Ghana's premier gathering for mining stakeholders - welcomes global precious metals trading and investment firm MKS PAMP as a bronze sponsor. Taking place on June 2 - 4, 2025 in Accra, the summit will serve as a platform for MKS PAMP to showcase its growing contributions to Ghana's mining sector, particularly its support for responsible and inclusive gold supply chains. As a sponsor, MKS PAMP will take part in high-level panel discussions, highlighting innovative financing models aimed at empowering Ghana's artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector. The company's global operations - spanning sourcing, refining, trading, and supplying of precious metals - include a strong focus on Ghanaian gold, contributing to both local industry growth and the stability of global gold supply. Through its partnership with the Bank of Ghana, MKS PAMP is actively supporting ASGM operators by providing financial and technical assistance. The partnership is designed to help small-scale miners transition into the formal gold market, ensuring they benefit from global trading standards while enhancing traceability and compliance. In addition to supporting small-scale miners, MKS PAMP also works with large-scale operators to reinforce transparency across the value chain. In a notable collaboration with Newmont Corporation - which operates the Ahafo and Akyem Mines in Ghana - MKS PAMP launched mine-to-market traceable gold bars. The solution enables consumers to track the origin of their gold while offering regulators and stakeholders confidence in the transparency and ethical sourcing of monetized resources. At Mining in Motion, MKS PAMP will delve deeper into these contributions through participation in exclusive networking sessions and project showcases, engaging with local, regional, and international partners. The firm's participation at Mining in Motion reflects a broader commitment to supporting sustainable development, responsible sourcing, and emerging investment opportunities within Ghana's expanding gold sector. Organized by the Ashanti Green Initiative – led by Oheneba Kwaku Duah, Prince of Ghana's Ashanti Kingdom – in collaboration with Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, World Bank, and the World Gold Council, with the support of Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the summit offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with industry leaders. Stay informed about the latest advancements, network with industry leaders, and engage in critical discussions on key issues impacting small-scale miners and medium- to large-scale mining in Ghana.

Just 39 Products You'll Kick Yourself For Not Buying Sooner
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Don't be too hard on yourself — you had no idea disposable shower drain covers or a tool to clean your vacuum even existed. 1. A reviewer-loved scar gel that sinks in super quickly, so it's perfect to use on facial scars. The superstar scar-fading ingredients are panthenol, which promotes the production of new skin cells, and allantoin, which attracts moisture to the skin to help speed up the wound-healing process. It also works on new and old scars, so it's never too late to add this to your routine. Promising reviews:"Can I just say... this stuff is now my HOLY GRAIL!! This scar gel has been by far the best I've ever tried. I have a lot of acne scars on my face. I just assumed they'd be there forever. Until I found Derma-e. It doesn't sting, it feels great on my face, and super moisturizing at the same time. I've been using this for about three days and I'm already seeing results." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $15.75. 2. A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. Also, cleaning your cleaning appliances is a level of adulthood most never reach in their lifetime. Proud of you. Promising review: "Between myself (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 Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 3. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder that'll instantly mattify you, keep oils at bay throughout the day, and provide a soft blurring effect that looks great on its own or over makeup! Especially if you have a foundation that's a bit too ~radiant~ for your liking — this will tone it down and stop you from looking shinier than a disco ball. Amazon, 4. A jar opening tool — it'll be an absolute lifesaver when that jar of Ragu is holding on to the lid like its life depends on it (to be fair, it kind of does). It has four different slots to help open a variety of jar sizes, and there's even a helpful hook at the top to help with pull-tab cans when it's a Chef Boyardee kind of night. Promising review: " This is amazing! I wish I knew about this sooner! Makes opening any jar of any size so easy! Especially the ones with the airtight seal. Also, this is for anyone of any age or any strength… everyone can benefit. If you want to just make opening any jar effortless, you need this!" — Kim Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors). 5. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream, because your décolletage also deserves some special skincare attention. It contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while glycerin and aloe add some extra hydration. Some reviewers say they've seen moisturizing results in as little as 10 days. You may be sad you didn't buy this 10 days ago, but now is better than never. Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack). 6. A layering T-shirt that might just give you Skims vibes at first sight, and reviewers say you're on the right track ~wink, wink~. They also say the material is buttery smooth, so you'll be extra appreciative of the form-fitting design. You could have had an entire collection in different colors by now if you had added to the cart sooner. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one, LOL, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $8.48+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3X and in 33 colors). 7. A pair of teeth-whitening pens, which are SO much easier to use than traditional white strips. Just swipe it on and let the gel sit for 30 minutes — and eventually, you'll see years and years of stains start to disappear. This is a must for all my fellow coffee connoisseurs. Promising review:"I've tried a bunch of teeth whitening products in the past, and they've always left my teeth feeling sensitive. It's been a long time since I've tried a whitening product, and I was skeptical about trying another one, but after searching around, I decided to give it a try, and I am happy to say that I have not felt any sensitivity at all! The instructions say to use it 2x a day, but for now, I'm just using it 1x a day as I want to see how my teeth feel and adjust. I've been using the product for about a month now and I have been able to see some results, but only after I took a photo did I realize it has been working so fast. I have pretty white teeth, so I'm pretty amazed how well it works. It may take longer for those with darker teeth." — Adam Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 8. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers — they'll help stop your drain from getting clogged, which in turn will prevent you from having to stand in a puddle of soapy water. The best part? You don't even have to touch the hair to dispose of it — just lift up the adhesive catcher by the tab on either side and toss it in the trash. Amazon, Promising review:"For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." — MER Aire Allure is a small business specializing in disposable hair-catching products. Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack). 9. A pair of slip-on pointed-toe ballet flats that are basically perfect for every outfit and almost any occasion, so don't be surprised if you mourn all the cute 'fits you could have been putting together with these. But it's not too late! Plus, reviewers say these are super comfy and similar to the pricey Vivaia and Rothy's versions. Promising review:"They are SO comfortable and breathable, and my poor footsies are ruined from wearing heels every day when I was younger. These look fabulous and feel great. What a great find! I'm gonna have to buy them in another color now." — JeGo Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–10 and 14 styles). 10. A Bounce wrinkle release spray in a convenient travel size so you can take it with you on your next vacay. Seriously, who has time to iron while traveling?! There's also no telling if that dusty hotel iron is actually going to work. All you have to do is spray, tug the fabric a few times, then smooth the wrinkles away with your hand. It's also perfect for refreshing any clothes you plan to wear a few times during your trip, thanks to the fresh scent. Promising review:"Hate dragging out the old hotel iron and board, so I just spray my wrinkled clothes with this, and viola! Takes the wrinkles out, and off I go — no wrestling while putting the iron and board away. I even have a small travel iron or use my hair styling irons if I want a better finish, but this usually does the job nicely." — Audie Get it from Amazon for $6.05. 11. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier — if it looks familiar, that's probably because it was featured on Shark Tank! This puppy makes it possible to carry lots of bags at the same time with ease; just clip your bags in the slots, sling them over your shoulder, and be eternally grateful that you now only have to make one trip from the trunk to the front door. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors and in a two-pack). 12. An Onsen cuticle conditioner with a non-oily, serum-like formula that's way less messy than your traditional cuticle oil. Whyyyyy do cuticle oils take so long to absorb?! This one sinks in more like a lightweight lotion thanks to the moisturizing shea and cocoa butters that give it a creamy texture. Oh, and it's not just for your cuticles; you can smooth this all over your nails to condition, strengthen, and add a fresh-from-the-salon shine. Promising review: "I love the overall quality and the way it turned my overly dry skin around my finger nails to soft and healthy looking in just two applications. I saw results after first application but after the second one it was like I never had the issue. The size is adequate as you only need a small amount and very easy to apply. Once applied, it soaks in quickly and feels lightweight. The scent isn't offensive or too strong." — Dmlyle Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and two packs). 13. A set of hidden magnetic locks if the tiny tot in your home has never met a cabinet or drawer they didn't want to explore. The locking mechanism is hidden out of sight on the inside — all you have to do is place a magnet on the outside to open the lock! You'll feel like a magician every time you open your knife drawer, and your little one will come to accept that they are no match for your magic locking powers. Amazon, The set comes with 12 locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys. Promising review:"These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds, the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door, so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on, so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." — Joseph J. Krakker Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $29.99 (available in multiple pack styles). 14. A 3-in-1 wireless charger so you can power up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time — no more wishing you had way more USB ports near your bed! The standout feature might just be the foldable design, meaning you can take it to the office with you so your noise-canceling AirPods never run out of juice. Imagine having to listen to your co-workers instead?! Just be sure your devices support wireless charging! 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 AirPod Pros 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 Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors). 15. A bottle of hair-building fibers to temporarily fill in bald spots and add some volume to thinning hairs. In the words of this reviewer, "WHAT IN THE HAIR SORCERY IS GOING ON?!" The sorcery in question is the tiny fibers made with follicle-mimicking molecules that grab onto your hair strands and make it look like you took a magical overnight hair growth serum. This works best in thinning ares on the crown and partline, and if you're in between two shades, the brand recommends going with the darker option. To use, just sprinkle over the desired area and pat it in — you can also hit it with some hairspray for an extra secure hold. It'll wash out with your next shampoo. I personally am OBSESSED with this stuff for covering the bald spot my thirties have so graciously gifted me. It is so simple to sprinkle into any thinning areas (yes, even by yourself! Though I typically hold up a hand mirror behind my head while looking in another mirror to get a better idea of where to aim the container). I've never had any issues with it fading or sweating off, though I do typically do a super light spritz of hairspray just in case. Promising reviews:"I have thinning hair due to a number of medical issues (thyroid, chemo), with the majority of bald/thin spots at the crown. The color match was perfect and it's very easy to apply to the bare spots. It sprinkles on easily and covers wonderfully. I pat it into place and finish with hairspray and I'm good to go." — mozart8 "I have AA 4c hair that I recently cut super short. When it was long, my thin spots around the hairline were concealed. So, with my hair short, they were apparent and made me self-conscious. I purchased Boldify with just a little skepticism. I am so glad I purchased it. The application is easy and does not stain clothing. Be careful not to scratch your head throughout the day because you will see the dark coloring under your fingernails. It is a large bottle for the price. I will continue to buy and recommend." — Jza Jza Get it from Amazon for $11.16+ (available in four sizes and a two-pack, and in 14 colors). 16. A ridiculously helpful eyelash comb that solves one of the biggest beauty dilemmas: what do I do when my mascara clumps?! Put down the makeup wipes — this helpful little comb will remove the excess mascara and separate your lashes at the same time. It's also perfect if eyelash curlers make your lashes look smushed together. The metal on the comb is anti-rust and easy to clean and comes with a protective cover for maximum hygiene. Promising review: "As a pro makeup artist, this is an excellent tool to have in my kit. Excellent for removing mascara clumps." — Lady Marina Get it from Amazon for $4.49. 17. A tomato knife designed to take the pain out of one of the most annoying cooking tasks: slicing tomatoes. The dual-serrated blade helps it glide through tomatoes of any size and thickness — yes, even those tiny cherry tomatoes that always seem to wiggle away from your knife. Psst! This is hand-wash only but, hey, nobody's perfect. Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap that I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $14.75 (also available in packs of two and six). 18. A retinol body lotion, because the magic of retinol is not just for your face! This retinol in the creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover, while the ferulic acid firms skin for a tighter appearance. Reviewers also note that this works wonders on rough, bumpy skin on their upper arms and legs after consistent use. Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack). 19. A pair of rechargeable motion sensor lights so you can finally see exactly which Little Debbie you're reaching for in the pantry when that late-night snack craving hits. They're also great for closets, under cabinets, or even illuminating the shelves holding your exquisite Lego Flower collection. These lights are charged via USB-C cables (included!) and can also be set to always-on for longer tasks. After motion is detected and lights are activated, they'll automatically turn off once no motion is detected for 20 seconds. The lights are magnetic and can easily attach to magnetic surfaces OR you can use the included adhesive iron plates for installation in other areas. Promising review:"These lights are very cool. They feel and look like they are made well. First, I charged them. Then cleaned under the cabinet with a good degreaser and then stuck them on. They attach with magnets. They come off easy for recharging. Also I LOVE you can set them for automatic on (when you get close) or full on or off. I chose the soft white and they really are perfect. I will be buying more!" — Janis Tomasone Get it from Amazon for $17.99 for a set of two (available in two sizes and two light temperatures). 20. The Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 on those busy mornings when you need to look like you got a full eight hours of sleep. It's meant to blend seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "I used to use the Becca under-eye product and this one is way better. You can sheer it out and warm it up on your hand. Don't need to use a lot and it adds a lot of brightness under concealer." — Ariel O "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 21. And Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel that's basically like a latte for your face. It uses the power of yerba mate to soothe the delicate skin under your eyes, and also contains three forms of hyaluronic acid to moisturize. I did not know there were several types of hyaluronic acid, but I would now like to collect all of them like Pokémon. Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 22. Veet's sensitive hair removal gel — it's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back! It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). 23. A cervical neck "pillow" with a super catchy slogan: "10 minutes a day, keep neck pain away!" It features six massage nodes to help relieve pressure in your neck, and a U-shaped curvature to help support and align your spine. Amazon, BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower has used this and says it's surprisingly comfy: After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 24. A migraine relief cap you'll love so much you might just Google, "Can I marry an inanimate object?" You can throw it in the freezer or microwave for both cold and hot treatments, and you can also wear it as a sleep mask so you can enjoy some sweet overnight relief. Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in six colors and two-packs). 25. A glasses lens cleaner so you finally say goodbye to those microfiber cloths and disposable wipes that just seem to smear the dirt and oil all over your lenses. This little tool has a small brush on one side to wipe away dirt and dust, while the microfiber pads on the other side will wipe away oils for a streak-free finish without scratching your lenses. It even comes with a case so you can keep it clean when not in use. Amazon Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before, but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so muc,h and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 21 styles). 26. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that has 34,000+ reviewers feeling like they're the star of a Pantene commercial. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your strands (hello volume!!!), while rosemary and coconut oil are known to moisturize the scalp (bye, bye itchiness). You'll be ~toss, tossing~ your hair like your name's Glinda in no time 💁♀️. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four sizes and three scents). Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots! 27. A very viral veggie chopper for anyone whose knife skills are worse than Kendall Jenner's. Just place your veggie on top of the interchangeable blades, press down on the lid, and you'll have a container full of perfectly chopped produce! More than 80,000 reviewers have upgraded their cooking game thanks to this genius gadget. Future you will be so proud at how many fresh veggies you're consuming. The 4-in-1 model comes with two chopping blades (one with small cubes and one with larger cubes) and two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter). You'll also receive a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers. All pieces are dishwasher-safe! 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. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in five styles and four colors). 28. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds! Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.98. 29. A pomade hair wax stick — it'll be a major timesaver on those days when you want to smooth down flyaways, cowlicks, or set baby hairs into place. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth, and it'll provide some seriously strong hold without any sticky residue. Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez "I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others, which, to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways, however, were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy products. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay Get it from Amazon for $6.83+ (also available in multipacks). 30. A carpet spot cleaning spray that'll clean up any surprise messes that pop up and threaten to ruin your day — from spaghetti mishaps to coffee spills in your car. It also lives up to the "instant" in its name: simply spray the stain, agitate for a few seconds, then wipe away! Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs). 32. A handy double-sided brush that will scrub away at every nook and cranny of your utensils, because giving them a quick swipe with your sponge is really not cutting it. Your silverware will be so sparkly clean you'll almost feel bad for storing it away in the utensil drawer. Amazon Promising review:"I am really accident-prone! I used to cut myself frequently while washing my knives. It is so easy to clean them now! Just swish your knife through the brush, and you're done! The brush is thick, so it really does a thorough cleaning! This is one of the favorite purchases I've made in the last year!" — Kindle Customer Penny Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 33. A next-level toothbrush your dentist will be so ridiculously proud of you for using. It has the standard bristles you'd expect from any toothbrush, but the game-changer is the extra-long bristles that are 10x thinner — meaning they can reach in between teeth and under the gum line to help sweep away food and residue. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Here's what one of our BuzzFeed Shopping writers, Emma Lord, has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A.

Simply place them in your bra and let the moisture-wicking fabric do its magic while keeping you extra comfy. FYI: They're machine-washable! Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65° outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you!

A super absorbent Muddy Mat to stop dirty paw prints in their tracks!

Oh, and it also works on kids/spouses/roomies/etc. who simply can't be bothered to wipe their feet off. Just take deep breaths, the Muddy Mat has you covered. Promising review: "These mats work great. I have one out on my covered patio, and I bought one more to put in front of my front door. I have two dogs and so far even when it rains they don't track in any water or stuff from the yard — definitely would buy another one if I needed it. So far, they are easy to clean. All I do is go outside and shake it and all the stuff comes off it." — Deborah Get it from Amazon for $17.69+ (available in 17 sizes and 20 colors). 37. A pair of leggings with a double-take-worthy price and a jaw-dropping 17,000+ rave ratings. According to reviewers, these are comfy with just the right amount of stretch, and they're thin enough for warm weather but thick enough to pair with a jacket in the fall. We love a wardrobe staple that'll take us through several seasons! Promising review: "I bought these leggings to wear postpartum and I'm just upset I didn't buy them sooner. They are very soft and comfortable. They are not see-through, and they stay in place. They fit true to size. I love having the pockets, which is great when trying to carry a baby around. I bought one pair to try and instantly bought another." — Kristin J. Get it from Amazon for $9.47+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 40 colors). 38. An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that's specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great option for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes! Promising review:"My skin is *super* sensitive, but as I've aged (44 years), I feel like my pores have become more visible. I hadn't used an oil cleanser before and wasn't 100% sure how it should all work. The Anua oil cleanser works how we all once hoped Biore pore strips would work back in the day but without any pain or irritation. My skin is combination skin, so I have to be really careful about not drying out the dry spots (and getting eczema) and not over-hydrating the oily spots (and getting a breakout). I rub the oil on my face as the first part of my cleansing routine; I massage it in for ~60 seconds and then put a small amount of water on my fingers and begin rubbing that on my face. The water starts the emulsification process and helps to clean out everything the oil has bonded to/mixed with. Then, I just rinse it clean and use a gentle cleanser afterward. I haven't had any irritation, redness, or fallout from adding this product to my skincare routine. I love it. I am almost through my first bottle and if I go a few days without using the cleanser, my pores become more visible/dirty again. I will definitely keep purchasing the Anua oil cleanser." — Tassa Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 39. A Squatty Potty so you can comfortably sit in an optimal position for, um, handling your business.

This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." — P.W. Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in three styles).
