Things I Bought in August I Don’t Hate

Listen, I’m not about to pretend every Amazon purchase is a life-changing investment. Sometimes it’s garbage. Sometimes it sits in the corner collecting dust while silently mocking me. But every once in a while, I stumble onto a product that actually delivers. And in August, I found a few gems that didn’t make me roll my eyes.

1. School Supplies for the teachers at my kids’ school

They. Deserve. It. Enough said!

2. Sunday Scaries Nighttime Gummies

As someone whose brain refuses to chill out at night, these little gummies were a game-changer. Not in a “wow, I woke up at 6 a.m. and went for a run” way, but in a “I only hit snooze twice and didn’t hate the world when my kids asked for breakfast” way. That’s a win.

3. Clear Plastic Cups with Lids and Straws

These cups make me feel like my made-at-home coffee concoction is actually from a fancy coffee shop. Its the little things.

4. A Diamond Painting Kit

Because sometimes you just need to zone out and stick tiny rhinestones to a canvas instead of doomscrolling TikTok. It’s weirdly meditative and the sparkle payoff is legit.

5. African Exfoliating Net Sponge

Move over, loofahs—this net sponge is the real MVP of shower time. It lathers like a dream, scrubs without being scratchy, and actually reaches your back (because apparently I’m not a contortionist). TikTok was right, y’all!

August was chaotic, but at least a few of my impulse buys didn’t end in regret. And honestly, that’s all I can ask for.
