This Waterproof Lighter Will Be Handy on Any Camping Trip

I'm big on camping and having quality camping gear while out in the forests is extremely important. One of my favorite parts about camping is having a campfire at the end of the night (along with some s'mores, of course). I take this waterproof lighter with me on all of my camping trips, and it does the job perfectly. It quickly lights a fire, and I love that it's rechargeable, so I don't have to worry about running out of gas.
Look. I know this bag is advertised as a lunch tote, but I use it for makeup since it's a little too small for lunches. The inside is coated with foil to help prevent stains in case of spills, and the canvas fabric is pretty durable. Besides, it's only $3 — what's not to like?

The non-greasy formula is enriched with shea butter, natural aloe and vitamin E to make it extra moisturizing.

This LED Desk Lamp Is Cozy and Bright

There's something special about a desk lamp that gets a 4.8-star rating from more than 14,000 Amazon buyers. This little beauty comes in four styles: black, white, black with wood grain and white with wood grain. It's got five color modes and seven brightness levels, all with flicker-free light that's easy on the eyes. The head tilts 135 degrees and swivels 90 degrees, while the base tilts to 150 degrees and swivels 45 degrees, allowing you to cast the light exactly where you need it. There's a USB port on the base so you can charge your phone easily, and the energy-efficient LED light can help reduce your electricity usage by up to 75% over other lamps.

I'll say it — most clothing store underwear is overpriced and flimsy. But these cute panties? Not only are they made from a high-quality nylon and spandex blend, but you're getting five for just $20. Their tags are printed so that there's no itching, and if you aren't a fan of the prints pictured above? You've still got five other sets to pick from — including one with adorable roses.

The Dash brand of kitchen gadgets never fails to intrigue me, and this pint-sized (literally!) electric ice cream maker is no different. I already had the Dash mini waffle maker and was lusting over the pie maker when I spotted this gadget that creates ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and frozen yogurt right in your own kitchen. Sundae? Every day.
If your hair is limp and lacking body, you can't go wrong with this thickening serum. A little goes a long way, and it doubles as a leave-in conditioner if you let your hair air dry. If you choose to use a hair dryer, however, you can get up to three times more volume — and my hair even comes out oh-so soft at the end.

I recently decided to treat myself to a new set of measuring spoons. I was very excited to discover this set of measuring spoons specially designed to fit inside narrow spice jars. These ones are highly recommended and so handy! They work for liquids too, so they're the only set you'll need.

This Liquid Lipstick That Will No Budge For Anything

I don't always wear lipstick, but when I do, the last thing I want to do is constantly be running to a mirror to make sure it's not fading or smudging. I prefer my makeup to be low maintenance, and nothing is more low maintenance than a product that goes on and stays on. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this liquid lipstick from a drug store brand works as good (or even better) than some of the high-end brands.
I've started doing my nails at home ever since I got stuck with an over-chatty nail technician (trust me, it was a real problem) — and this pedicure kit has been a lifesaver. The tools are made from stainless steel that won't rust over time, and they all come packaged in a sleek travel case.

You never know when you're gonna need to punch through a car window, which is why I keep this tactical pen in my backpack — just in case of an emergency.

And unlike other self-defense pens, this one also comes with two extra ink cartridges.
Simply tap the base of this LED lamp, and you'll easily be able to adjust the brightness to set the mood in your home.

For years, whenever a recipe called for a Dutch oven, I either passed or used my big stockpot and hoped for the best. But then: a pandemic led to sheltering at home, which led to more cooking, which led to finally shopping for a real Dutch oven. At first, I had sticker shock--they sure don't give these things away! Luckily, I discovered this Dutch oven by Amazon Basics at a much more affordable price. I've been using mine for a few weeks now, and I'm here to assure you that the quality is top-notch, and my recipes are turning out delicious. I love the fun colors, too!

I have a relatively new car with lots of bells and whistles, so I don't really have any complaints with it. But, one thing that makes it a lot cooler is this windshield heads-up display.

This display projects everything from your speed to your fuel consumption onto your windshield so it's within your line of sight. Turn your '02 into a '20 for just 40 bucks.

This Rainbow Bath Bomb That Will Make Bath Time Way More Colorful

A fun way to cure boredom is by doing a little at-home spa time, including a nice bath with bubbles or a bath bomb to make it feel extra luxurious. I don't often go for bath bombs that change the color of my water (it can be a pain to clean) but I might make an exception for this one. On the outside, it looks like a puffy cloud. However, just drop it in the water and you'll see a stream of rainbow colors fill up your tub.
