Vanderpump Rules stars Lala Kent and Scheana Shay may bring the on-screen laughs, truth bombs, and drama so rich even Martin Scorcese is a fan, but off camera, the women are more down-to-earth than the show leads you to believe — and that includes many of the items they purchase for their homes.

We recently sat down with Kent and Shay to chat about their partnership with SharkNinja and the brand’s first foray into the beverage category with the launch of the Ninja Thirsti, and we asked them to spill everything that’s currently in their Amazon carts, as well as some of the latest household purchases that brought them joy and have simply made their lives easier.

But we’d be remiss if we didn’t also squeeze in a few questions about the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules after the “Scandoval” drama exploded last season. When asked how they would describe season 11 in one word, Kent responded with “strange” and, after a few beats, Shay said, “wild.”

“It's gonna look different,” says Kent. “Obviously, we're a resilient group of friends, but there [are] things that can happen in life where you're like, ‘I don't know how we repair this,’ and that's where we're at. It's gonna look different, but I have heard that it is very good.” Color us excited.

From their favorite vacuums to their parenting must-haves, below are Kent and Shay’s most beloved home and Amazon product finds as of late.

Whisker Litter-Robot 4

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$599

Shay has two cats, Salem and Penny Lane, so she finds that the self-cleaning Whisker Litter-Robot 4 gives her peace of mind “just knowing that it self-rotates and cleans on its own [and] I don’t have to scoop litter anymore.”

Ninja Thirsti Drink System

<p>Ninja</p>

Ninja

$189

It’s clear why both women chose to partner with SharkNinja on their first beverage system, the Ninja Thirsti, given its user-friendly design and tasty results. The machine, which makes still and sparkling water beverages, allows you to customize your carbonation level as well as add flavoring with a wide selection of sugar-free flavored water drops (you can even combine two at a time for your own unique blend).

“It is no secret that I am addicted to sparkling water,” says Kent. “Since I got sober, it wears many hats. It's like my comfort, my relaxer, my Buck Wild-er… it's all of the things.” Kent is currently loving the mango peach and lemonade cartridges for a tropical fruity blend. “This is like my lifestyle. For some people. It's like, ‘Oh yeah, it provides me with my sparkling water. It's amazing…’ This is like a necessity for me,” she adds.

Shay agrees, saying that because the mango peach flavor has 50 milligrams of caffeine, it helps keep her moving. “For us busy working moms, and just anyone in general who needs a little boost midday but you don't want a full energy drink to be all jittery, this is the perfect thing to have just to get you through the rest of your day,” she adds.

Amazon Echo Multicolor Smart Lamp

Amazon

$30

Shay recently bought the Amazon Echo Multicolor Smart Lamp for her daughter, Summer, and it’s come in handy, as “you put it to red at night, and then when it turns green, that's when she knows she can get up in the morning.”

“Instead of 4 a.m. and her waking up and being like, ‘Mom, mom, I want to go in your bed,’ she now knows if the light’s red, [she needs] to put [herself] back to sleep. That has been amazing,” Shay explains.

Tonal Mirror

Tonal

$3995

Shay says the Tonal machine is “one of the best purchases ever made.” Her daughter likes to follow along as she works out, with one practice in particular being her favorite: “She'll pull up two mats for us and she goes, ‘Mommy, I want to do yoga with you.’”

The machine allows you to have a custom gym right in your home (and it’s hangable on your wall!) with a variety of different classes led by an expert roster of instructors at your fingertips.

Plunge Cold Plunge

Plunge

$4990

Although certainly another investment item, Shay says purchasing a cold plunge has been a game changer. “There are so many benefits to cold therapy that people have no idea about. I watched this documentary with Chris Hemsworth and just everything he was talking about with prolonging his life and cold therapy, I’m like, ‘Yeah, we need one of those.’”

Ninja AF101 Air Fryer

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$90

You might not know that Kent is somewhat of a connoisseur in the kitchen, which is made easy thanks to her Ninja Air Fryer. Her most genius air-frying hack? “I will open a bag of chips, and if I don't finish them, they get stale. I have now learned that if you put them in the air fryer, it revives them,” she tells us. Brilliant.

Ativafit Fitness Trampoline for Kids

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$90

Kent also has a smart trick for giving her daughter, Ocean, some playtime while also wearing her out before bed thanks to this under-$100 trampoline.

“If you want to tucker your child out, they’re having fun, but in your mind, you know, you're just trying to get them to like, have a good night's sleep. You're like, ‘Jump faster and higher!’” Kent says with a laugh. She adds that she “could not live without” this piece of equipment.

Shark Wandvac Lightweight Cordless Vacuum

<p>Shark</p>

Shark

$199

Another vacuum on this list (we told you they’re down-to-earth), Kent says she’s a huge fan of the high-powered Shark Wandvac Lightweight Cordless Vacuum. “I have two dogs. I have a child. It's so easy to use. It gets everything up,” she explains. “I'm a Virgo, right? And once I had a child, there are crumbs everywhere. It drives me insane, [but] this thing has saved my life.”

Nintendo Switch

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$299

In what little spare time she has, Kent likes to unwind with some — wait for it — video games. “I’ve turned into a gamer! What is this?” she jokes. “My Nintendo Switch… it’s the best thing I have ever purchased.”

If you prefer a larger screen, you can connect the handheld console to your television and use the detachable controllers to play.

Kiss Voguish Fantasy Nails

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$9

In a nod to the show, Kent says press-on nails are important for interview confessional continuity while filming Vanderpump Rules.

“It's easy to just pop them off and put them back on. I've got a cart full of nails right now. Having these long nails and being a mom and just doing regular old activities that you need your hands for, it becomes virtually [impossible] — unless you're Sheana,” she jokes. “But I'm like, ‘How do I function with these things?’ So I can take them off, put on my, you know, tiny little ones, short, cute… and then when it's time to go into film, I’m like, and pop off and replace.”

Spirit Halloween Barbie the Movie Adult Barbie Costume

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$148

Shay says her daughter has been the boss when choosing the family’s Halloween costumes this year, even picking out “multiple looks” for each person.

“Summer has decided what everyone's going to be. She went on my Amazon app, she picked out everyone's Halloween costume for us. So that was my $333 spend a couple [of] days ago,” Shay shares.
