A harsh truth: sometimes I think my Amazon algorithm knows me better than anyone. Organization-obsessed, check. Skincare enthusiast, check. Lover of quirky home decor, CHECK. Sometimes I can't even log into my account because I know I'll see another solid recommendation on my doorstep in a couple of days.
But honestly, that's okay. This all-knowing algorithm has empowered me to pull the trigger on some pretty life changing stuff over the years. I've found a candle that doubles as instant dopamine, a foolproof way to apply self-tanner, and a stone that zaps gross kitchen smells. And don't even get me started on that disco-ball planter. Some of these picks are time-savers, others have improved my quality of life, and the rest are just simply fun. Check them out below.

This Is a Total Compliment Magnet
While I dream of hanging a huge disco ball in my living room, this is the next best thing. Choose between two mirror tile sizes (or you know, get both), and brace yourself for compliments from your houseguests. Bonus: with a planter this eye catching, you'll never forget to water your plants again.
