There really is nothing more that I enjoy than finding a product that I love, and I think that’s why I am shopping online on Amazon almost daily. It is convenient, fast, and there really are some gems and that’s why I am going to give you my top 12 Amazon finds (with links of course!).

 

10 Pack of Gold Hoop Earrings ($13.99)  

To start, this was one of the first things I purchased when I got my Amazon Prime account. I was in need of earrings and of course I wanted to get chunky gold hoops like all of the trendy girls on Instagram. I needed earrings that work for people with sensitive skin and they work perfect for me. They are easy to put in, have so many different sizes, and haven’t given me any issues yet. I even wear them in the shower, and they haven’t faded!

 

4 Pack of Claw Clips  ($6.99)

Claw clips are also something that has come back into style. I remember seeing these types of clips and thinking only old people use them and look at me now! I never wear a hair tie every anymore but rather I use these. They don’t tug at my hair and I think it gives off super Jennifer Aniston circa 1990’s vibes. And so affordable too!

 

64 OZ Water Bottle ($8.99)

When quarantine hit, it was definitely a time that I was trying to focus on myself and something that came with that was trying to drink more water. I can really tell when I am not getting enough water in my day-to-day life and it is now something that is essential to me. I really love this water bottle in particular because of its size, the fact that it has a straw, and that it is super easy to carry with the lid. The goal is to drink about two of these a day and it keeps me feeling so much better and makes my skin super clear.

 

Small Trash Can  ($6.99)

I don’t know about you but for some reason I always am throwing stuff away in my bedroom. It seems that every week I am purging and getting rid of stuff! So, when I moved back into college, a small garbage can was not even something I thought to bring but something I quickly found out I needed. I didn’t want to spend too much, so getting this one for less than $10 seemed like a no brainer to me!

 

Fairy Lights  ($11.59)

Another thing that I soon figured out I needed in my bedroom at college was some sort of lights. I of course was influenced by so many trends on TikTok as well, but I decided it was time to actually get some. I found these on Amazon, and I fell in LOVE when I put them up in my bedroom. The fact that they are wire made them so easy to hang up and have yet to fall down. The lights are also subtle enough that they aren’t too bright but give my room the perfect cozy vibe for winding down. I really look forward to my nighttime routine when I get to turn these on and turn off my brain.

 

Adult Coloring Book  ($4.99)

This semester of school has quickly become the busiest and stressed out I have ever been. It seems that my life is always on the go and there is always some sort of assignment due. To destress, I thought that maybe finding a coloring book would help. I have always loved art and all the things that come along with that, so this coloring book was perfect. Not only is it a great price, but it also has swear words! It is so fun reading all the inspiration quotes with a twist of something vulgar. This is definitely something that is PG-13, but also a must in my life.

 

34 Pack of Dual Tip Markers  ($6.79)

Along with the coloring book that I ordered; I also got some new markers (how could you not?!). I really love these because they are dual tipped, so they are the perfect shape to get into every crevice and corner of the pages. I also love all of the different shades of colors that they have! You will have no problem finding the right shade of something in this pack.

 

Macrame Wall Hanging ($14.78)

It seems that it is a common theme that I am buying all of this stuff for my place at college and this is no exception. Out of all of the things I am showing you, this is a MUST buy. It is so cute and so inexpensive. It really brought my room together and it looks perfect with my fairy lights at night. It’s really good quality and is very large so I had no problem finding somewhere to put it. It draws your attention the second you walk into my room and I love it!

 

Key Ring Bangle   ($6.29)

Oh yes, yet another thing that I quickly saw that I needed when I moved to college. When I moved into my new place, I was given only a single key and it seemed every time I left my house it went missing in my purse or backpack. So, I knew I didn’t want some long ugly lanyard, but yet something small that I could throw in my pocket or even wear right on my wrist. And this is perfect. It is so cute, trendy, and also so functional. I hang it up on my key rack so easily, it is really great quality, and I am always getting questions about it. And it’s so cheap, so why not?

 

Hair Dryer Brush ($27.99)

Ever since I was little, I have been afraid of blow drying my hair (SO dramatic, I know). But I have the frizziest hair when I blow dry it. Even if I straighten it after blow drying it, it seems to still be frizzy. So, when I saw someone on TikTok using this and it turned out perfect, I literally ran to Amazon to purchase. Now I am always using this to dry my hair because it is so quick and makes my hair so shiny and ready to straighten or curl. This is definitely something that changed my hair game and something I bring with my every time I come home.
