Customer review:
“Extremely affordable and feels great on my face right when i wake up in the morning! I can feel the difference after a couple of rolls along my puffy eyes and face. It soothes my puffiness with the cold but [with a] bearable feeling. And it does stay cool for a good amount of time. Best thing is it’s not a watery mess.”
—Tammy

Customer review:
“Cozy, warm, and soft, just the right thickness to keep you comfy and not overheated. I’ve washed it twice and it’s keeping its shape and quality, it’s even fluffier after a wash and tumble in a warm dryer. Only problem, my dog wants it for her blanket!”
—Dini

Customer review:
“The cucumber sheet mask is one of my favorite from Nature Republic because it is light and refreshing. The liquid is not thick or sticky but on the thinner side, so I feel hydrated without any heaviness.”
—Amazon client
5. A good book you can sink into and forget you ever had Netflix.

Customer review:
“An absolutely spellbinding collection of stories. I devoured the book in one sitting, and, like so many of the characters within, might have benefited from a bit more self-control, because now I want more! As with ‘Cat Person,’ many of these stories will draw you in and, step-by-step, lead you to a much darker, unexpected, but not entirely unfamiliar place.”

6. A bath pillow that lets you lounge while soaking up the bath salts and reading a good book!
You’re going to love passing the time in the bathtub with this Gorilla Grip Original Spa Bath Pillow.

Customer review:
“This pillow is great. It buffers the tub so that the noise from the jets is minimal. The pillow also cradles your head and neck in a very relaxing position in either a conventional bathtub or the jacuzzi. It allows you to anchor your body so that you don’t have to float in the water.”
—Cartec
7. A fun waterproof shower speaker that lets you enjoy your favorite tunes while in the bath.
Take your time in the shower or put on some relaxing music while soaking in the bathtub with this super affordable and easy to use VicTsing Shower Speaker that is water-resistant.

Shop at Amazon.
Customer review:
“Nice little speaker with pretty good sound. It doesn’t have a lot of bass, but that’s to be expected on a small speaker. It has good Bluetooth range, so I don’t have to keep my phone in the hot humid bathroom. The suction cup holds it firmly on the shower wall or bathroom mirror.”
—Beebert

Customer review:
“This shower oil has an almost cult following and now I know why. I have extremely dry skin, especially in Winter, and have found that oil is the best way to soothe my skin. I know others use this for shaving, which I have only tried once, but seemed to work fine. The smell is mild and pleasant, but doesn’t interfere with post-shower fragrance use.”
—Skidge
9. A brightening eye patch that battles dark circles and promotes skin elasticity.

It features grape seed oil that firms and reduces the appearance of fine lines and aging. Meanwhile, its antioxidant-dense cucumber fruit extract fights environmental skin damage. Shop at Amazon.
Customer review:
“I used these eye masks on a long haul flight. They’re easy to apply and stay put nicely. I put them on and even wore a sleep mask over them and they were still in place when I woke up! I felt that they helped keep my under-eye hydrated so I looked well rested when I arrived at my destination.”
—Holly Griffith

Customer review:
“The candle doesn’t have a strong smell, but the amount it has is perfect. I light the candle in the living room and it travels all throughout the apartment. You can walk from one room to the next and get a slight scent of the candle. Furthermore, you truly feel relaxed with this smell, so it is definitely worth a try!”
