Katie’s All-Time Favorite Amazon Finds Are on Sale for Prime Big Deal Days

Listen, getting a weekly blowout isn’t in the cards for most of us — because of budget and time constraints. After Katie’s hairdresser gifted her the Dyson Airwrap, she started styling her hair at home, and it’s easier than she expected. “It’s so much easier to use than holding a round brush in one hand and a blowdryer in the other — and the results are much better, at least for a non-professional like me,” Katie says.

Good things come in small packages, like this moisturizer and makeup remover combo. Katie says it works wonders when trying to take off stubborn makeup: “The label states: ‘The makeup comes off, the moisture stays in.’ And it’s true. Plus it’s only $10 at the drugstore, so I’m so glad I discovered it.” It’s easily one of her favorite drugstore finds.

Katie has been using this SPF for years because of its lightweight, barely-there formula. During Prime Day, it, and the rest of Supergoop’s superstar roster, is 20 percent off!

Katie’s relies on her Lancôme moisturizer because it doesn’t feel greasy or oily, and it doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin and eczema. It’s packed with shea butter and hyaluronic acid, which help deliver hydration for up to a full 24 hours, leaving your skin looking plump first thing in the morning.

Katie and John are constantly on the go, so they know a thing or two about packing efficiently. One of KC’s recent travel suggestions is to use packing cubes, which help organize your suitcase into tidy compartments. This set compresses down, so all you overpackers can rest easy and bring whatever you want on your next trip.

Katie’s fingers never smell like garlic, and it’s not because she doesn’t use it. It’s because she doesn’t claw the peel off with her fingernails like the rest of us garlic-loving loonies. “I swear by this gadget,” Katie says. Just put your cloves in the rubber tube, roll it on the counter, and the peel will come right off. No more papery garlic husks flying around your kitchen!

When it comes to smashing passes on the pickleball court, having the right paddle is key. The easy-to-hold grip and carbon fiber paddle on this one are standout details, but the included carrying case and balls are a nice touch, too. You can catch Katie acing serves with a similar paddle, which she carries with her from court to court.

Making coffee at home is a habit that’s better for your wallet and the environment — and having a milk frother and warmer makes a homemade brew much more enticing. Bonus tip: Katie adds cinnamon to her milk for a delicious (and sugar-free) treat in the morning.

Only cooking for two? Katie uses this mini crock pot to whip up easy meals for her and Molner. Need some inspo? Add chicken breasts, salsa, black beans, and taco seasoning to the crock pot in the morning, let it cook while you work, and when you come home at night, pour that thick mixture over rice. Sprinkle cilantro and cheese over top at the end for some extra delicious flavor!

Light therapy masks look like something out of a sci-fi movie, but we promise they’re not as scary as they appear. Red-light therapy is commonly used by dermatologists to help reduce the look of fine lines, sun spots, and discoloration. Katie wore this mask to show her skin a little love on Valentine’s Day, but she puts it to use year-round, too. We know it’s expensive, but it’s so worth it — plus, it’s HSA and FSA eligible, making it a great way to put those funds to use.

How many of us have lost a pair of sunglasses in the ocean or accidentally left them behind at a vacation rental? *Raises hand.* After seeing them on a coworker, Katie snagged herself a pair of these inexpensive sunnies that are dead ringers for some designer specs. We hope you don’t lose or scratch them, but if you do, you can replace them for only $11.

Years ago, Bobby Flay (name drop, no shame) gifted Katie a container of Maldon salt. She’s been hooked ever since. You can use it to finish off pasta dishes, sprinkle it atop chocolate chip cookies, and so much more. Plus, it makes a great gift for the friend who loves to cook. Katie buys large containers of the stuff to make sure she doesn’t run out.

“Fragrance can irritate my skin, so I need to use a soap that doesn’t have any harsh ingredients in it,” Katie explains. This one from basis is free from dyes and scents that can upset sensitive skin, and it’s full of soothing ingredients like aloe and chamomile.

“I’m like the Sahara these days — thank you, aromatase inhibitors! — so I’m using copious amounts of Eucerin,” Katie says. For extra hydration, she layers the lotion over coconut oil. “I smell like a tropical fruit salad!”

Having a glass of wine or a cocktail while at the beach or pool is a dream, but spilling it in the sand or water is a nightmare. With this acrylic cup, you don’t have to worry about tipped-over drinks ever again. You can stake it in the sand if you’re on the shore, or you can let it float in the pool while you’re taking an evening dip (just be sure to keep splashing to a minimum — you don’t want to be drinking a chlorinated cocktail).

During peak cherry season, you’ll find Katie whipping up cobblers and pies with the sweet stone fruit for as long as she can. Removing the pits can be a pain, but using this stapler-like device makes pitting cherries as easy as, well, pie.

Once that garlic is peeled, you can bake it soaked in olive oil and rosemary in this mini Le Creuset dish. It’s under $30, and you could pair it with a bag of nice salt as a hostess gift for any dinner parties you’ll be attending.
