A Satisfied Customer Review: “I was skeptical when I first bought it but I suffer from migraines but they usually start out as a stress headache and eventually move into a migraine. I have tried so many different over the counter and prescriptions medications and only one that works is the one when you have the migraine. This product has helped me numerous times from my headache at the beginning not turning into a full blown migraine. I have to say it is worth the money.”

Bring the spa to your mom’s home with this massager to ease her WFH aches. Not only does it relieve muscle pain with its three-dimensional deep tissue shiatsu, but it’s also compact enough for use on the go.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, and 47,930 ratings
A Satisfied Customer Review: “This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It is of solid build and can therefore massage deep into your knotted muscles. I mostly use it on my neck and upper back when I feel a tension headache coming and find it really helps lower the severity of the pain. The heat function is much better than I imagined, but you can turn it off should you wish. I particularly like that the massage heads are slightly different sizes so you get a varied massage. In my opinion, it has paid for itself in the short time I’ve had it.”

The intent was to get something that would make her laugh, but also have nutritional, useful, and unique recipes. I expected something silly to come in the mail, but this book is ‘legit’ as Snoop himself would say…As a very traditional Midwestern family we also enjoy recipes that carry tradition or sentiment. Crook to Cook has all of these. Each recipe comes with a story of its significance to the rapper’s life, as well as an in depth breakdown of basic ingredients needed for each section, so you can be sure you have enough of everything in stock.”

Second, as a mom, reading what my 8-year-old wrote melted my heart. I also plan on filling these out for my parents as gifts. They are perfect for any age. Absolutely worth the $10 bucks. This is something I will cherish forever.”

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars, and 1,193 ratings
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I became a big fan of sheet masks while living in Japan. I usually bought cheap ones, though, and they weren’t much more effective than just moisturizer. I also have very sensitive skin and sometimes I’d get a few zits after certain ones. I have now used 8 masks and I have loved them all. I also like that there is a little explanation of what each one is supposed to do. It’s fun to try different masks instead of being locked into basically different scents of the same mask, which is how I feel about sets I’ve bought on Amazon. I have been using these masks once a week. Combined with the rest of my skincare, my skin has never been better and I haven’t felt dry at all this winter.”

A Satisfied Customer Review: “I use a wine tote a couple of times per week and after my leather-like (expensive) wine tote bit the dust it was time for a new wine bag! I am very happy with this product. It is lightweight, plenty tall enough for most normal bottles (those who enjoy German rieslings in an extra-tall bottle might disagree), and features both a carry handle & sturdy shoulder strap. I especially like that it is insulated/padded to help protect its cargo from accidental bumps and drastic temperature fluctuations. Seems to be a very good product that will endure a long and frequent usage!”
