Happy Wednesday, ladies! How’s your week going? My Monday and Tuesday was INSANE. But it’s Wednesday now so we’re going to try and conquer it! I initially intended to shoot this post with all of my favorite Amazon finds in situ – buuuuut given the state of my house right now, I decided to spare you and collage them instead. But because I have a lot to say, I broke the images up into sections so you can read about the ones that catch your eye! All of these are recent purchases (from the last 6-8 months) that I’ve gotten some good use out of and love having around our house. But they aren’t things I’d talk about in any other situation – so they’re going together here! I hope you find something you love!

- These lights have been a godsend. Most of our apartment doesn’t get much natural light, which means shooting in most of the apartment is nearly impossible. We have a few lamps we used to help, but the left harsh shadows. These lights have made a world of difference for photos and videos!
- I picked up this book on a whim, but I’m loving it. I want to improve my blow dry and go skills, so the it’s best to learn from the pros. I also like the other styling tips – there’s so many ways to achieve a single style, exposing yourself to multiple techniques is the best way to figure out how to make it work for you!
- Y’all know I like my coffee right. Well, we had one of these in Peru and I adored it. I can’t believe it took me a year to pick up one of my own. I use it to froth warm milk in the morning so the cold milk doesn’t cool my coffee, and I feel a little more fancy and inspired with a semi-latte in hand. And it’s so inexpensive on Amazon.
- This is the partner to the frother. While my coffee is brewing, I froth the milk in this guy. It’s made for the job, and does it way better than using another mug.
- Chris. Has. So. Many. Hats. Like, more than 40. He used to have them in a big stack, and they would end up all over the floor when he went to get a different one. I picked this up for him and, while having 3 on each is a bit of a stretch for it, the whole thing has overall been a great Amazon find. I’ll probably pick up a second just to make it a little easier for him to find the hat he’s looking for.
- We break chargers constantly. We also hate getting up and looking for chargers. We picked up two boxes of these chargers and I love it. I immediately stationed a bunch of them around the house – wherever we find ourselves sitting – so we can always get a little juice. It also helps our chargers last longer since we’re not constantly pulling, wrapping, and messing with them.
- Neither of our vehicles have traditional outlets in them. But a dead battery is the bane of every shoot day. So we love having this available to charge our cameras. We also used it on our road trip to charge all kinds of things and make our trip more comfortable.
- Another amazing Amazon find is this water jug. Chris needed something to really encourage himself to drink more water – so I picked this up for him. It’s basically as much water as you need to drink in a day, so filling it up (and maybe pouring it into a glass for drinking later) is a great way to see exactly how much water you need to drink.
- I went through a bit of a puzzle phase this past fall. We picked up these Harry Potter puzzles because they looked challenging and, well, it’s Harry Potter. These puzzles (one and two) were just the right amount of challenging, they took about 2-3 days to finish, but not so challenging that we gave up or lost pieces before they got done.
- One of my smartest Amazon purchases was this pack of stylus pens. I use them ALL THE TIME for Instagram stories and doodles on my phone. They make my handwriting so much better and actually make editing pictures easier too!
