19 Amazon Buys That ABSOLUTELY Simplified Life

[@fatine88]

I love how you just jumped into it. I hate long intros that drag on for ages 😉

[@MindfulMidlife]

You would be amazed at how many intros I film and then end-up cutting it out. I always keep saying to myself "nobody needs to know this Bobbie, nobody cares". 😂

[@flohough1870]

As a fellow arthritis sufferer, several of these things look great! Thank you for sharing. And I don't understand why the judgement on not buying actual books, I don't have an issue holding them like you do, but I have severe allergies to dust and mold so I don't have a bunch of books around for my health! It's still a book, you're still reading, so I don't get why anyone thinks it's that different. Plus I don't have to dust them all. Everyone just needs to do what works for them. Have a great day Bobbie!

[@joannecalcutt6724]

My mama always said if you can’t say something nice, then keep it to yourself. 😀😀

[@barbarahansen5353]

I also buy all my books on Kindle. I take my kindle paperwhite when I go to the beach but otherwise, I read on the kindle app on my iPad, which I always carry with me. That way, if I find myself waiting for an appointment or for any other reason, I always have my books at my fingertips.

[@flohough1870]

@@barbarahansen5353 I found it so much easier (and lighter) when traveling to take a single tablet with the guidebooks loaded on it than to carry several! It's so simple to use, it's not bulky and here's the part no one wants to talk about--it's good for the planet. I don't think people realize how many physical books end up in the trash. I have a friend that works in a used bookstore and I was floored when she told me just what their store ends up throwing out.

First of all, your new haircut is fantastic! Coold finds, Bobbie. That's the whisk my mom always used and I found one for my own kitchen as an adult. Love how it gets in corners and on the flat bottom of the pot.

[@JRusk56]

You are very concise and accurate. I enjoyed your presentation and editing.

[@jms9057]

Instead of paying 50 bucks for that wedge at the top of the bed, a pool noodle will work just as well. You can make a cover for it out of an old sheet if you're picky.

[@VeronicaVeroVero]

Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing it! ❤😊

[@ClaudiaGilmanMais]

Awesome video!!!! For a couple married 33 years, (who are a tad ocd and have arthritis) we had to purchase a few of these items (sliders, surge protector, fan and outlet concealer). Thank you!!!! We never would've found these (well, maybe the fan) goodies on our own. 🤗 Btw- your new hairstyle is ADORABLE!!!!!! I swear it makes you look 10 years younger!!!!!

[@MindfulMidlife]

I'm so glad they have been helpful Claudia! I love sharing things that have helped me so I love to hear how they help others. Thank you and 10 years...I'll take it!! 😉

[@sgoosetechgirl]

amazing, I am so glad I found this channel. I need everything you featured. Lol

[@RachelRamey]

You might have just solved a major problem for me. Our living room is in a finished basement, and it's kind of awkward because it was apparently finished over a period of time, so there aren't any outlets in logical places. The only available outlet is inaccessible behind the couch, so we use an extension cord with multiple plugs...and we are *constantly* tripping over it. I think that power strip you showed may attach to my end table and allow us to stop tripping over cords all the time.

[@nanciutay5620]

Your hair looks so pretty! Great suggestions, thanks !

Hi Bobbie, great finds from Amazon. It’s a blessing to find things that we need to make life easier when we have a debilitating condition. Thank you Bobbie:

[@MindfulMidlife]

It really is! There are so many things I have purchased from Amazon that truly were just money wasters, but thankfully I did find a few that were amazing! Have a good week Karla!

[@Ponka25]

That sleek socket works for socekts behind furniture so that you can push the furniture to the wall without all the bulk from plugs.

[@Alexandra11090]

New visitor to your channel. I’m not sure if you normally talk about your arthritis, but I think you should either mention this in your video titles or channel name. This is very helpful information to someone who has grip issues or issues with arthritis and they should be directed to your channel.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I call our spring whisk a “doinky-doink”, because that’s how you use it.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Love it!

[@judymoorehead3046]

Hi Bobbie, I just stumbled upon your channel, and I'm hooked! I too like that you jump right on. I have several of these items, but really like the crevice cleaner. Also, I swear by the eye glass cleaners; I use them everyday. FYI, they cost less than 5 dollars at Wal-Mart! Thank you, Judy

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes, I have bought them there a few times as well. I also hear they are also at the Dollar Store but I don’t know how many you get.

Hi there. I love your videos and was glad to see your new one today. I humbly have something to ask of you however… when you are talking about a product, please hold it forward and hold it still. The shampoo you were showing, I couldn’t quite understand the name of it as you talked and I couldn’t read the label as you danced it around. 😊Thx.

Use pool noodles instead of the wedge at your headboard

OMG. The bed wedge?! I need that in my life!

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes!!! This has saved me from losing my phone, Kindle and pillow!!!

[@jesseostone386]

I needed something like this once upon a time, and I used either a cheap body pillow that I could stuff down in that space, or two round bolster pillows that also fit nicely. This kind of general solution solved losing my pillow and other items.

[@gloriayouchisonbrown7734]

I bought a piece of heavy foam and it worked well in that area

Oh my gosh. No sooner did I finish the video than I told my husband about the gap filler for the bed. Pretty much every day I'm annoyed by that gap. I can see all sorts of crap that's fallen down under there, but can't reach to retrieve the items. Will also have to give that crevice cleaner some thought as I also notice the crumbs caught between the counter and the stove.

They also sell a product that covers the gap between the counter and stove. It comes in white and clear, I believe. I saw it on Temu, too.

[@susannovak8263]

Not “necessary“ and “make no difference“ - so, she’s just supposed to be unable to open a jar or make her hands less painful while typing on the computer. Having a Kindle allows her to read in comfort, instead of having to hold a book, which is painful for her. I’ve looked at the comments you leave on her videos and they are all negative.
