3. Sea Bands:

[Heather's Note: I used these during my pregnancy to combat nausea.]
Promising Review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially car sickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So, I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. At one point, I did have one child remove their bands because they said they were getting too tight. But after only a few minutes without them, a headache started to come on, so they immediately put them back on, and the relief was instant. I have suffered for decades, and now, I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" - 1SmartCookie]

[Meet Saucemoto: A small business]
Promising Review: "Very useful! I love that the cup is removable so if you have one of those giant Chick-Fil-A ketchup cups, it can sit within the holder without the added cup, but a smaller sauce like from Wendy's can sit inside the additional cup so it won't fall through." - catherine]

Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. The Trtl pillow is adjustable – you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter!

Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times."]

I was fully a curling wand gal, but then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job, but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time."]
