Continuing this crazy sale week…I know we’re all getting hit with all the Amazon Prime Day noise. So we’re here to help cut through the chaos because yeah, there’s about a gazillion things to choose from.

So, this is our edit of the things that are actually in our carts, or the stuff we already have and love (and might need to repurchase). See below for receipts, haha.

Amazon Prime Day Picks: What We’re Buying, Loving & Rebuying

Each of us has a running list of things we’re loving — from skincare and fashion, to home finds and random bits and bobs (you’ll see what I mean when you get to mine). Some are already in our carts, some are on the way, and others are tried-and-true faves we already own and love.

Shana’s Prime Day Picks

Collage of Shana’s Amazon Prime Day picks including protein bars, electrolytes, hand-drying poufs, and air-dry creme.
  • Poufs. I use these little cuties in the boys’ bathroom instead of hand towels (which always end up on the floor). These don’t fall off, and work really well (now 15% off).
  • My phone case is on sale! It’s the one that looks like an old-fashioned camera. I recently upgraded my phone, so need a new one.
  • Protein bars that are – ACTUALLY – good. My kids (and OK, myself and my husband and Linzi and Abby) are all using Aloha’s plant-based protein bars to meet our daily protein goals. The two best flavors, according to us are Peanut Butter Cup (31% off) and Chocolate Mint (38% off!!)
  • I swear by electrolytes – especially in the heat. I’ve tried them all, and the only ones that are yummy enough without weird sweeteners or too much sugar are these (now 30% off, or get the bigger package for 46% off!). 
  • Need champagne flutes? I have these. They’re gorgeous, and feel much more expensive than they are. Now 48% off!!
  • Yasss, Ursa Major. I swear by this entire line (here’s my full beauty routine, if interested), but if you want one holy grail product to try, it’s this one (30% off!!).
  • But the eyes – this undereye balm. I’ve tried a zillion, and literally nothing beats this relatively affordable one for moisture & bounce. Now 20% off (making it only $44).
  • My nightly cleanser – this. Literally melts makeup off like magic. I love it. Now 30% off!
  • Where my menopause girlies at? I love these probiotics (38% off) because they don’t have that ‘get used to it’ period. I’ve been taking them with Ritual’s daily vitamins for menopause, too (now 28% off). Are all of my symptoms gone? Nah. But they’ve been pretty manageable, FWIW.   
  • The product I love with the fire of ten thousand suns – this lip balm. Nothing comes close. NOTHING. A whopping 29% off (never happens). 
  • Prefer to air dry your hair? Me too – this. 
  • All natural face cleansing cloths – these. Perfect for travel (and I always make sure I have a few stashed in my carryon when flying).  
  • Our old milk frother broke, so we’re upgrading to this rechargeable one – now 20% off. 
  • Linzi was right about the Dyson with the green light – I thought she had lost her mind when she packed it on a trip to the shore – but it’s freaking GOOD. 

Abby’s Prime Day Picks

Em’s Prime Day Picks

  • I’ll never not recommend this matcha, especially when it’s on sale. I’ve been drinking it daily for almost 10 years now – it’s the best latte-grade matcha money can buy. Extremely nutty, slightly grassy, not muddy or bitter, and the most verdant hue. 💚
  • I make my matcha directly in this milk frother. It’s still going strong after 3 years of daily use, and the spinner attachment actually stays engaged way better than in my previous Nespresso frother.
  • My glassy-skinned friend-slash-kskincare guru told me I need to start putting this salmon sp*rm on my face. You better believe they’re swimming to me as we speak.
  • She also sold me on this microneedle treatment in a bottle, and now I’m on my second bottle. (I’ve since upgraded to the 300, but start with the 100.) p.s. I expected it to feel a little spicy, but it’s totally comfortable.
  • My girls are obsessed with their Minkies (IYKYK) and these are more or less the same blankets – at ¼ of the price.
  • Lana and I are both so obsessed with these little 3D sticker scene sets. They’re such a fun, screen-free way to pass the time and are perfect for little neuro-divergent folks who like to hyperfocus on random stuff.
  • One of my fave Bachelor Nation alums (I know…) is always slinging these gentle, peroxide-free, whitening strips, so I had to bite. They’re freaking great. Weirdly green when they’re on, but they *work*.
  • Magic. This bee propylis spray has kept me cold and flu-free for more than 6 months. I do four sprays a day and keep it right next to my toothbrush so I don’t forget. Twice a day if I feel a tickle coming on. It’s MAGIC. The whole family uses it now, too.
  • If I had to use one lip product for the rest of my life, this.
  • These gummies are magic stress-busters, zero hyperbole. They take the rage off, instantly (without anything that prevents you from operating heavy machinery). When I just can’t (read: every other day in the summer), these make it so I can.

Aliya’s Prime Day Picks

Collage of Aliya’s Amazon picks: cropped athletic tops, under $10 Apple Watch band, mini tech cord organizers, and plant-based chocolate protein milk.

Jeni’s Prime Day Picks

Collage of Jeni’s Prime Day favorites: Sony headphones, Nespresso Vertuo machine, glass highball cups, reusable glass straws, and a woven throw blanket basket.

Danielle’s Prime Day Picks

Collage of Danielle’s Amazon picks: press-on nails, cherry red kitten heels, aesthetic drinking glasses with straws, and Marshall over-ear headphones.
  • Calling all hot girls. This portable fan is seriously life changing, and I have zero shame about it. Everyone uses it when I bring it out to the functions, sooo it’s fine. I also own this one (because I thought I lost the other), and it’s perfect if you’re looking for something more powerful or want to stand it on a table/desk.
  • Easy manicure. These are the press-on nails that everyone thinks are real (in ‘Ablaze Bewitching’), which I put on with this nail glue.
  • Continuing the dark cherry red theme – I’ve worn these kitten heels out multiple times now (on Philly’s uneven sidewalks), and usually hate the feel of most heels/flats…but not these!
  • Hot summer days + puffy morning face call for – this ice roller. Trust.
  • Ooo, fancy fancy. I feel like a real, put-together adult human when I drink out of these (with or without the lid). They’re my fave glasses + straws that I own.
  • Thank you, Poppy! In the office, I mentioned that my derm wanted $500 for a cream to treat my rosacea (yeah, hard no), and that I really struggle to find anything that doesn’t freak my skin out, so Poppy suggested this brand that her mom swears by for the same issues. Just added this serum to my cart.
  • My noise cancelling crown – These Marshall headphones are the best headphones I’ve ever tried (and under $100!). Tunes out noise, long battery life, and actually really cute (in a dark chocolate brown, retro kind of way).
  • Goofs & Gaffs. Going through my Amazon order history was…interesting to say the least. These magnets were included. Not on sale, but obviously I had to share. I also have these magnets (which are actually pretty and on sale).

Happy Prime Day!
