Catch me with crimped and flowy hair all season long." —Sarah Weldon

Plus, with a good bit of travel coming on my calendar, it'll be nice to not have to tote around two to three paperbacks for each trip and take up valuable souvenir space in my luggage." —Julia Webb

It's not overpowering but still gives you that bright and airy floral elegance. I can definitively say that it's the perfect layering scent for all seasons." —Moriba Cummings

"I love competing in triathlons, and this super lightweight smartwatch has up to 10 hours of battery life for long races, an advanced GPS and top-tier safety and tracking features. It also has all of the other smartwatch bells and whistles, like fitness tracking, contactless payment methods, distance trackers and sleep monitors. Even if you're not a triathlon athlete, it's such a good smartwatch for any kind of physical activity." —Maia McCann

"After complaining to her about my awful hangnails, my doctor told me there's absolutely no reason to get my cuticles cut during a manicure. Like, truly no benefit. In fact, foregoing the cuticle cutting might put an end to my hangnails. Instead, she recommended that I use a good cuticle oil, like this one from essie." —Jeanine Edwards

"One of the sad realities of renting an apartment is that there is a slim to no chance that the freezer will come with an ice maker. So, no, I do not have an ice maker. As someone who loves iced coffee and pink home gadgets and decor, I'm definitely grabbing this round ice cube tray and bucket. The finished ice just looks so cute, and the trays make 66 round ice cubes." —Sarah Weldon

"I tested these SmileDirectClub teeth whitening strips a while ago, and I love them. They actually dissolve in your mouth after about 15 minutes. You can put them on before bed and not worry about falling asleep with them in. They taste kind of minty, and they actually work." —Ellie Conley

"Do I already own four of these bralettes? Yes, I do. Will I be buying a few more this Prime Day while they're on sale? You know it! If you're looking for a bra that's truly and completely undetectable underneath thin white tees and tanks in the summer, this is it. Plus, it's so comfortable to wear all day long." —Jeanine Edwards

"I have a pup who used to rummage through the bathroom trash for attention constantly. I put an end to that with this small 2-gallon bin that has a lid — and not just any lid, an automatic one. He can't open it up, but I can with a wave of my hand. Plus, I feel a little fancy every time I toss out a tissue." —Ellie Conley

"I buy these super soft pillowcases every year around Prime Day when they go on sale. I'm convinced they're the only reason my curly hair looks halfway decent on humid summer days. I love the color selection, and they're super easy to launder in the washing machine and dryer." —Jeanine Edwards

"I've been looking for a set of adjustable dumbbells for the past few months, but most quality options were upwards of $300. In the weeks leading up to Prime Day, I found these and can't wait until they arrive! Since they're adjustable with six weight options (20, 30, 40, 50, 70 and 90), they don't take up as much space as an entire standard set, making them perfect for apartments. They also have various configurations and accessories, including a kettlebell attachment and barbell and push-up stand adjustment. It's like having a home gym in a super small package." —Moriba Cummings
