These 8 Amazon buys helped me enter my 'soft girl' era—and they're all under $35 for Prime Day
I don't like to gatekeep so you're welcome
Happy Amazon Prime Day to those who celebrate! It's the second day of the huge event, and there are still plenty of deals over on the Amazon Prime Day sale... but it can definitely be overwhelming, to say the least. And while it's a great time to shop for big items like a new laptop or vacuum, my MO is to find the little items that solve life's little yet annoying problems during the sale.
So in the spirit of not gatekeeping, I've rounded up the products I've purchased over the years from Amazon that have definitely made my life a lot easier—because who doesn't love soft girl life...
The 'soft girl' Amazon essentials that made my life much easier
Loop Quiet Ear Plugs for Noise Reduction
Deal: was $24.95, now $17.46 (save $7.49)
These are a godsend if you, like me, struggle to fall asleep anywhere else other than your own bed. Especially during summer (i.e. the time for long weekend getaways with friends, baecations and family reunions) these literally save me every time I have to share a room with someone. I used to just accept the fact I would not sleep for a few days if I was sharing a room with friends, but since buying these babies, I've slept soundly worldwide.
They're super comfortable to sleep with and muffle sounds just enough so you can sleep soundly, no matter who you're sharing a bed with. Although I'm afraid that if your bed buddy is an extremely loud snorer, these won't do it. (If you ever find a solution to that problem, please let me know!).
Fast iPhone Charger, 10 Foot Extra Long
Deal: was $18.99, now $15.29 (save $3.70)
Raise your hand if Apple's short cables annoy you because I can't be the only one? This one is extra long so you can plug it in on the other side of the room and still use your phone without having to sit awkwardly by the charger. The other selling point is that it charges your phone super fast, which comes in handy if you only notice your battery is on 19% when you start getting ready to leave the house (hey, we've all been there).
iWALK Small Portable Charger
Deal: was $29.99, now $20.99 (save $9)
This is hands down the most practical portable charger I've ever owned. It plugs straight into your phone so no need for extra cables when you're out and about and it's also small enough to fit into a cute handbag.
Leg Elevation Pillow
Deal: was 39.99, now $31.99 (save $8)
Now, this item will be showing my age (30 club right here) but you've never known comfort until you elevate your legs while laying down on your couch or your bed (it gives Netflix and chill a whole new meaning). I used to just use a stack of normal pillows and while that works fine, it's just no match for this pillow.
Mini Jewelry Travel Case
MODENGKONGJIAN Mini Jewelry Travel Case: $5.69
If you like to pack a selection of your favorite jewelry when you go away, then you need to add this mini jewelry travel case to your cart right now. It fits quite a lot so I'll be honest—I packed it with all my essentials plus a few cute additions and now I just use it as my jewelry case all the time.
Amytor iPhone case
I don't trust myself without a phone case but I've hated most of the ones I used in the past—they're either too bulky, go a weird color after a while or they're just plain ugly. This beige Amytor case however... it's giving chic!
Amytor iPhone case
Deal: was $7.99, now $6.39 (save $1.60)
When was the last time you cleaned your AirPods? Exactly. With this pen, you can really get into all the little nooks and crannies and make them look brand new again.
Flawless Facial Massage Ice Roller
Deal: was $9.88, now $8.28 (save $1.60)
This one is used by a lot of beauty influencers to depuff, which is why I originally bought it. I'm not sure it's done anything to my face but it does help when you're about to get a headache or just need something cold on your face to decompress.
Bonus item
Fujifilm Instax Mini Liplay Hybrid Instant Camera
Deal: was $159.95, now $148.50 (save $11.45)
Okay so this one doesn't make my life easier every day and it's also not under $35 but when it's vacation time? This is the perfect camera to pack. I got addicted to my Instax a few years ago but let's face it—the film is expensive and I now have way too many pictures featuring fingers.
This hybrid model allows you to have the best of both worlds—you can snap pics in Polaroid style and send them to your phone and/or print them out after you've checked there are no fingers in sight. Plus, you can also print out pictures you have taken with your phone! Genius.
