Everyday Essentials
on Amazon
Let’s talk about everyday essentials! You know, those seemingly small but mighty items we use daily to make life a little bit better, more accessible, and perhaps, more productive? I’ve compiled a list of my favorites on Amazon organized by home, fashion, beauty, and office essentials. Many have been featured here on the blog and my social channels dozens of times, even on your most loved items of the year lists. Perhaps you might recognize them! Let’s get into it, and be sure to let me know in the comments if you’ve tried/used any of these.
HERE’S TO THE EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS!
AMAZON ESSENTIALS
FOR HOME
We are kicking things off with something we all need and use, bed pillows and a mattress pad! When we moved back in 2021, we needed some fresh bedding, which did not disappoint. Both wash and dry easily in a standard washer/dryer (yes, even the king sizes). Whenever the pillows feel dull or flat, I’ll wash and dry them, and they puff right back up. This handheld steamer has often replaced our iron and makes de-wrinkling super easy. I use it on all sorts of clothing. If you’ve ever dealt with pillows, sofas, or any upholstered items or clothing pilling, this fabric shaver makes things feel like new again!
I’ve repurchased this clear turntable organizer for several spaces in our house. It works well for condiments in the fridge, medicines in our linen closet, and beauty products in the bathroom too! This set of clear jars organizes any bathroom or vanity setup in a pinch! This clip-on strainer makes any pot or pan easy to strain, and while these photo frames are definitely more decorative, they make the list because they are so easy to swap out and change!

AMAZON ESSENTIALS
FOR FASHION
Amazon is a treasure trove for fashion finds, offering a delightful assortment of chic finds that keep me looking stylish and feeling fabulous on a budget! This t-shirt dress is a wardrobe staple for me, I previously shared different ways to wear it here. I had the opportunity to design my own size-inclusive collection with Amazon The Drop and created my perfect everyday dress, which comes in several colors/prints and is easy to dress up or down for work or the weekend. These no-show socks are some of my favorites for sneakers or boots, and they don’t slip or move throughout the day paired with one of my favorite sneakers! They are super lightweight, perfect for travel, and pair nicely with dresses, skirts, leggings, and pants.
These clips can help convert any standard bra into a racerback style, a wardrobe must for dresses and tanks cut inwards in the back and previously shared on this post! Don’t knock the extra long shoe horn until you try it; it allows you to easily slip shoes on and off without having to bend over. I have several pairs of these under $20 sunglasses that I keep in my car, purse, etc. They’re polarized and super lightweight, making them great for everyday and travel. Lastly, everyone needs some good basic tees! Amazon Essentials brand makes great ones, and even at better prices. I have more of my t-shirt favorites (including maternity) on this post.
AMAZON ESSENTIALS
FOR BEAUTY
Amazon has really turned into a one-stop shop for beauty essentials, making it easier than ever to find those must-haves, from skincare and makeup to haircare! Many of my favorite brands, including many luxury beauty brands, are now official retailers on the site. For haircare, these claw clips have made a major comeback, and I use them nonstop to keep my hair up without creasing. My hair stylist has made several comments about how healthy and clean my scalp has been looking ever since I started using this brush in the shower when I shampoo to really get a deep clean. I also love the Wet Brush to help detangle easily.
When I want to exfoliate head to toe, I use these towels in the shower to scrub any dead skin off. I’ve repurchased these beauty sponges for years, best used while damp to apply makeup for an even finish. This makeup bag opens at an angle so you can easily see everything that you have in there, and it fits so much! I keep this lip mask beside my bed and use it every night, making my lips feel hydrated. And lastly, these are a bit of a luxury, but I LOVE these eye masks. I’ll admit I don’t use them daily, but the days I do make me feel an extra pep in my step.

AMAZON ESSENTIALS
FOR WORK
For my fellow work-from-home people, this one is for you! This clip-on light is perfect for your phone or laptop and helps make video calls a little brighter, literally. I recently got these fine tip point pens, and they write really smoothly, especially on this to-do list pad. We open a lot of boxes around here, this ceramic box cutter won’t cut skin but glides through tape and cardboard seamlessly. This laptop stand is a must for keeping things at eye level and helps avoid “tech neck.” This portable tripod stand makes recording/filming really easy, especially when traveling or on the go to capture group photos. Pair it with the LensBuddy app, and you’ll never ask a stranger to take your picture again! I’ve heard great things about this mug and warmer set to make sure your beverages stay warm, and I personally love this mug for staying hydrated all day long.
You can check out more of my desk/office favorites here and also in this previous blog post!
