The 21 AMAZON MUST HAVES that I LIVE BY!! *absolutely game-changing

[@lisabush6078]

Video idea: Chris's kitchen favorites(cookbooks, gadgets, seasonings/sauces, cookware, utensils) etc. Also another round of cocktails video

[@emmashaw7018]

Great suggestion, I always love Chris's input in videos

[@Jess_Smith0903]

Omg.. This! I’d LOVE to watch this video!

[@cbohn95]

Yes, please!

[@ginas.2713]

Yes Yes Yes! Would love it so much!!!!

[@ashleyanneakababz]

SO DOWN!!

[@Amanda-vl7cb]

A little tip for hair elastics: The fabric ones that you showed here (not scrunchies), if they ever get stretched out, just toss them in the dryer with your laundry. Accidentally left one in my jean pocket, went through the entire wash/dry cycle and came out looking brand new. Now I swear by this trick.

[@karennicholson4167]

I watch you for your warm, engaging personality, but you always have the best recommendations as well. The Ember mug is a game changer, and I purchased it because of you. Worth.every.penny!!!

[@carolineparry6259]

You always bring joy to my day, even on the hard days. Thank you for being you!!

[@nancyconnolly6298]

The Clevermade bins were 7$ each at costco, we bought three and paid 21$! Just a little tip for yall ❤️

[@emmashaw7018]

Love this video! Your reviews are always so reliable as you are completely honest (in a really constructive way) and that's refreshing. I bought the scrub mommy, infallible foundation, swedish grey cloths and the glass cloths based on your recommendations and love them. My children (grown up) always laugh and ask if my friend Rachel recommended it when I am using something new. Keep the content coming, your videos always make me smile especially when my pain is bad and I need a distraction. So thank you for your beautiful positivity ❤️

[@Joy_of_life88]

Wow! Girl, your lashes!!! 🥰🥰🥰👀

[@KatieBSewCrafty]

YESSSSS to the Maldon salt!!!! The pyramid shape that makes the most beautiful flakes when crushed. Absolute perfection 🤌

[@j.h.5425]

Tangle teezer is the ONLY brush I’ve found that gets through my daughters hair without it breaking it. It’s amazing ! I use Aquaphor on everything. A few nights a week, I put it on after skincare. It’s called slugging. It’s done wonders for my face. I have the stick ones in my car, purse, night stand & makeup bag.

[@nikkijoice1992]

I SWEAR BY AQUAPHOR. It also got me through my horrid 29 year old experience with shingles. the overnight improvements were so overwhelming I cried.

[@hawaiiluvr4evr]

I'd try to buy most of these through in-person stores if possible!! The carbon footprint from constantly buying unnecessary things on Amazon adds up, plus who wants to support a company who doesn't give a crap about their workers.

[@Stephwillmeth]

I really appreciate that you post links for the US as well! Makes it so much easier for me to find things.

[@rubescentpeach762]

maldon flakey salt is the best. i loooove making buttery sourdough toast with a sprinkle. it tastes so fancy!!!

[@MissTLCmn]

Love the Maldon salt, I use it every day when I make my own Salted Caramel Mocha (Starbucks style) and you are absolutely right, it makes everything better! 😘

[@CassiaElise]

I found Maldon salt by looking up coffee and tea recipes from a woman online who is a tea sommelier (her websites are Oh How Civilized and Coffee At Three), and she mentioned it in a recipe as "if you haven't tried this you haven't lived" salt. I bought some and it still always surprises me how salty it is. The pyramid crystals are beautiful too.

[@ryleehall4295]

Was looking for a video to watch during my lunch break. I changed my mind from one video to watch this. I can’t resist your upbeat energy and humor! 🥰 I needed this video, but my wallet didn’t 😂

[@susanheld]

I just got a mini wet brush for my curly-haired 2-year-old and it has DEFINITELY been a game-changer for us! She even likes to "brush" her own hair with it since it's the perfect size for her little hands. 🥰

[@ambersmith2612]

Future hygiene queen

[@Michellee970]

I tried the Scrub Daddy for the first time this year. It is life changing. Lol! You have some really great items here! I didn't know about the collapsible grocery carrier, and I'm so happy to learn of it. Thank you!!

[@kellierodgers2880]

Those wet brushes are amazing. My 3.5 yr old son has super long curly hair down to his lower back and we liked using one of those for a long time. Now, we use a wide tooth comb and it's worked wonders with frizz and knots! It's so hard to find good strong stretchy hair bands that work for his hair. He moves around so much, and with the heavy weight of his hair, it falls down within a hour after putting it up. My oldest daughter and I both have the same issue too but it doesn't happen as bad as his lol.

[@fortitudefenix4097]

That edge fixer brush is simple but amazing! I love using it with pomade to secure flyaways.

[@carolinelapano4615]

The Ember is literally life changing. Worth every freaking penny.

[@thumbsarehandy.]

I finally got one and I love it! The app is total garbage but thankfully you don't NEED the app for the cup to work.

[@quintyqt89]

I bought the Ember Mug for my mother in law because of your videos and she loves it. She would reheat her coffee multiple times a day because she get distracted and forget about it. Now she doesn't have to and she uses this all the time now.

[@CB-dj1uz]

I got the scrub daddy after hearing you talk about it before and I absolutely love it! Definitely never going to buy any other type of kitchen sponge. It’s also adorable how much you love the ember mug!

[@FrankiiDoodle]

Bought the travel Ember mug on your recommendation, ideal when I was working as I'm a teacher and it takes me three hours to drink a coffee. Now I have a 5 month old, it's even more useful, especially as we're in a slightly delayed 4 month sleep regression 😴

[@hockeysteph]

I have a set of Senneny silicone straws that I originally ordered for my grandfather to use because they were soft but since he passed, I've been using them and couldn't be happier. It's a set of 12, 6 straight and 6 bent, they have a nice little canvas storage pouch and came with 2 wire cleaning brushes. I love them because they really aren't any thicker than regular plastic straws, 6mm diameter (you can buy thicker ones too though) but they're also soft, which is amazing because I like to sort of chew on them. I use them mostly for smoothies and even the thin diameter works well. They're a little annoying to clean because they're pliable, but I've gotten pretty good at it. You also can't stir things too well with them because they are soft but for anyone looking for soft, reusable straws, these are great.

[@whitneyerwin77]

If you wash and dry those hair elastics in a mesh bag in the washing machine they go right back, they’re awesome!

[@MilliDavison]

‘The 21 products Rach spoke about and now are firm favourites in my routine’ video coming soon 😂🤷‍♀️ thanks for the fantastic recommendations as always Rach!xx

[@melisac5219]

The elastics from Ardene are like the gimme ones for way less money. They stretch out a little but a quick wash and dry will take care of that.

[@myblackheartxx8]

I love that Maldon sea salt has gone so far in the world. In the UK its £3 in the supermarket, I grew up so close to Maldon it was just normal, what a testament to good salt!! Its so good on cookies, I agree!

[@marieils]

THANK YOU so much for not just recommending some random vitamin to everyone and acknowledging how everyone has different needs when it comes to supplements, not enough people do that!

[@floflo5556]

So glad you posted ❤️❤️❤️

[@orlandopokey03]

Hey Rachel, as a fellow Canadian I love your videos and the fact that I know everything you are using is readily available here is AMAZING! I don't know if you read these comments or not, but I am just about to enter my second trimester and would love for you to do a video for baby/infant/children must haves! Many things I am coming across in videos are USA related and are either hard to find or even simply not approved for us in Canada! Since you have had experience with items I think it would be an amazing video idea!!! Please!!! It would be a great help to those Canadian mothers-to-be.

[@brealatour6336]

You should check out the Hairstrong Bands (Canadian Small business). They are the absolute BEST hairties. They don't fall out, you dont have to touch up your hair, and you can loosen the tie super easily to remove it so that it doesnt damage your hair

[@Brooksie603]

A fond memory I have as a kid was going to my friend's house who had an inground pool and his father would throw a bunch of change in the pool and we would dive in to see who could get the most. So that treasure chest is really great to get kids to do something fun while swimming. They didn't make stuff like that when I was little so the adults got creative lol. I can see why your kids love it so much.

[@ashleebrown5904]

Every time I get this notification it just puts a smile on my face!!! You’re just so funny and real I love it!

[@ItsJustLisa]

I love the OXO containers. I keep rice in mine. And the Scrub Family sponges are the only ones we buy. They work great on my stainless steel cookware as well as cleaning my cast iron well with only hot water. I need to look at that juicer. Mine has had some of the enamel chipped off where the fruit goes, so that can’t be good. It’s also hard for me to fully squeeze it with my arthritis. That Chef’n one looks like a good option.

[@GewoonMariekeBlog]

I totally agree on the Maldon salt. It will level everything up. I'm from the Netherlands and I made few friends also hooked at it. Love it!

[@stephblaney2286]

Thank you so much for also having Canadian links ♥️♥️

[@rawamy]

OK you influenced me buy the salt a while back and I do love it! scrub daddies are hands-down the best… They don’t smell they work awesome but more importantly they don’t smell ever!

[@xomksxo]

If chris is passionate about it I’m buying it😂 love you Rachel!!

[@mangosaidno]

For cuts for your kids I would recommend neosporin instead of aquaphor because neosporin is antibacterial and aquaphor is just a humectant that keeps moisture in - not the best for wounds or cuts (but good for cracked or dry skin)

[@halfofmyheart3167]

Great recommendations!! I have a few things and plan on buying a few as well. I love Amazon recommendation videos - please keep them coming. 💞💖

[@staceyotten5312]

Love the aquafore!! Helps cuts and scrapes heal faster

[@KinniMoo]

The tangle teaser brushes are amazing!!! Love anything tigi ❤️. I don’t have that plug but have basically the same thing. Once you get used to having everything programmed AND being able to tell Alexa to turn stuff on and off, you can’t go back! Trying the hair ties and finishing salt for sure!!! ♥️ you guys!!!

[@lizsweety3]

I really enjoy the spirally hair ties

[@flowers-and]

Aquaphore is actually pretty popular here in the US. Quite a few Americans swear by it. It seems almost magical.

[@melaniestichler4152]

TIGI is “tee jee” also a toothbrush works great for smoothing down baby hairs and fly always. Spray with a little bit of hairspray first and it works so well.

[@jessicaawesome-sauce1268]

I’d love to see more makeup from Amazon that snot as well known brands. They have a lot of hidden gems.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I love Starbucks travel coffee cups for the same reason. They keep my coffee hot for hours. I detest like warm coffee but there is nothing worse than reheated coffee.

[@hollyjustice9858]

Agreed. Maldon Sea Salt = Game Changer

[@shaymackay4443]

I’ve been cooking for a long time. If you want to get really fancy with your salt use Fleur de sel. It is more of a finishing salt for steaks & other dishes. High quality & french. Maldon salt is too large & I only recommend using it to garnish cookies

[@rondadunn444]

The Epic pro wet brush has been the best brush. My hair is super thick and coarse and it does wonderfully.

[@brandisummitt12]

I use aquaphor as chapstick! It’s the only thing that doesn’t irritate or make my lips feel like they are burning!

[@mc_creates3499]

Color Gum hair ties are AMAZING! You make them the size and thickness you want and it's amazing for my thick long hair

[@ashleys4652]

I love how you call hair ties "elastics". ❤ I will have to try the brand you recommend

[@DrGPharmD]

Those salt flakes are sooooo good!

[@shoans3897]

That brush I have and I have super thick hair and I love and my grand girl has thin fine hair that tangles so easy but she’s tender headed 😖 but this BRUSH!! Sooooo awesome!!🥰

[@alarmedplacebo1579]

You got me to buy the scrub daddy and they are amazing! I use mine to death! Lol thanks for the information on recycling them. I will be taking advantage of that!

[@Sarah-dv1eh]

Sea salt flakes are the best level up, I completely agree

[@nicbillera9700]

I love my wet brush and a few months ago I came across the videos with the foundation brush and hair ties, I love those products infact I bought some ties for my mom too. Love your reviews!

[@korachilders1497]

I love the gimme hair elastics and I’m happy you brought them up in this video!! As a female in the army and me having to wear my hair up all day everyday 5 times a week they are a lifesaver with the breakage it prevents especially bc I’m already damaging my hair with constant washing of gel out of my hair and the constant application of gel and how it has to look clean and smooth and tight but those hair ties give the tight illusion without pulling on the scalp so much!!

[@mawolf87]

You need to try the hosiery elastics! They do stretch out after a few uses, but throw them in hot water, or through the washer and dryer with laundry and they shrink back up! Magical. The same pack of 8 has lasted me over a year!

[@silverpalm]

Such a fun good video! I love getting recommendations from people I've come to trust on KZbin! I know I can trust your taste in food since I've relied on you for that, and I can also trust your review of products ❤ Also.... your nails look so good in this!!! I looove the periwinkle/light blue 😍

[@drpescarakovach7269]

I was thinking the same thing about the beautiful polish color! I’d love to find out what it is 🥰

[@silverpalm]

@@drpescarakovach7269 I can’t be sure… because she hasn’t said anything 😂 but it looks like BEP BEP Blue from the Holo Taco x Julien collab.

[@nellacozzolino333]

I SWEAR by aquaphor!!! soooo underrated!, they even have lip balm highly recommend! you can even use the ointment on your lips looks like gloss!!

[@lisaschonauer8978]

THANK YOU for posting the Canadian link!!!! Wow - first video and love you already.

Darn you Rachel!! You make me shop ALL the time and now baking because I’ve recently gone through some of your baking videos!!! I’ve always watched this channel and sometimes the other but lately I’ve binged watch that channel.. lol

[@Gabbbb21]

Aquaphor is game changing👏🏼

[@lamemechose7072]

I sprinkle Maldon salt on both chocolate chip cookies and brownies while they’re hot *but not steaming* (so the steam doesn’t dissolve the salt). It really does make a difference in both flavor and texture.

[@tori2dles]

Someone else obsessed with lime! Hooray!

[@cheypoe622]

I got an Amazon mystery box and it had one of those bodysuits in it and I was AMAZED at the quality. Like I thought it was a $100 bodysuit. Mine is in olive green and WOW. Seriously the softest thing I own.

[@jannasmith3275]

How do you buy a mystery box!!???

[@jannasmith3275]

And was it worth it??

[@cheypoe622]

@@jannasmith3275 a local shop sells them. Idk how they ahold of them but they get like 50-75 at a time and sell for $50 a piece. We've gotten a couple and they've had some good stuff in.

I used that BedHead stick as a teenager! Admittedly that was 20 years ago 😶. It was an OG and I loved it! Glad to see it's still around.

[@lynkrieger6167]

I bought a set of grinders from Target and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the flavor the salt gives to food. I never had such a notably good tasting salt. So I know what you talk about. I have to contact OXO to find out what salt they have in their kitchen salt grinder.

I saw that the foundation brush can be used to put sunscreen on the kids faces (here in Texas it’s a must!)…have you tried it by chance?

[@marciwhitman3513]

I actually had an allergic reaction to aquaphor. It caused a lot of redness irritation and itching. I stick to regular vaseline. I use a special prescription medication for my eczema

[@ericamcconomy4337]

You are so positive and informative! I have so much breakage in my hair can you do a whole video on what you did to help nurse your hair back to health? I would love that video!!!!

[@meldevitt7243]

Hi Erica, for the first time ever I'm dealing with this and I've been massaging rosemary essential oil into my scalp 3x/ week. I also use the Aveda Rosemary Mint shampoo and conditioner. I am also doing 2 deep conditioning masks each, usually a Monday and a Friday. My go to's for masks are the Amika Soul Food and the Kure additive. My stylist said never sleep with wet hair, if you must put it up, do a low, loose braid and try to avoid heat tools as much as possible. Hope this helps! It's working for me!

[@meldevitt7243]

Oh and I've also been taking 1 NeoCell collagen chew each day (got from Amazon).

[@LisaMarie-rh5yn]

Your hair wax stick is by "Tee-Gee" pronunciation. They originally went by Toni & Guy; maybe you've heard of the hair salons? I was a T&G hair salon girl for 20 years! Now they do the TIGI, Bed Head, and S Factor product lines.

[@ellimak6774]

Flakey Salt has changed the game! Not to be dramatic or anything! But sprinkle some in my coffee cup and it makes my coffee less bitter. I sprinkle on all my dishes and it NEVER is over salted, it's the best!

[@sharroon7574]

Wooden citrus reemers are great too

[@leannem.r.williamson2269]

We get the Maldon sea salt flakes, we use it for everything. But in the UK, I can get it from my local grocery store for less than £2

[@MilliDavison]

Yes I switched the Maldon sea salt a few years ago and it made a big difference to simple dishes, not sure I would spend £9 on it though I’m sure it’s £1.50 in Morrisons 🤷‍♀️😂

[@CL-mn1yq]

I added hairspray to an old mascara tube, that's my fly away tamer.

[@mommashawna707]

I use the same elastics and I love that they have the blonde ones the black ones, my daughter has to wear her hair up for work and her hair was really struggling it will start breaking your hair off so I bought these for her and she’s now obsessed. I have to tell you our TJ Maxx which I know you have something comparable has those containers with a big button on them, I have bought them. I also love them.

[@julescosta]

THE TREASURE CHEST! I am now 26 years old and I still remember how much fun we had as kids with one of those. My aunt had one and my cousins and I played with it all the time too! Many fights and tears ensued since the boys would steal all our favourites gems lol but 10/10 would recommend.
