If you read my recent post about what I stock up on every Amazon Prime Day, you know I like to use Prime Days strategically.

But there are also products that aren’t necessarily things I buy over and over again. They’re products I’ve purchased once and loved. Products that have made life easier, held up surprisingly well, and products that I still use years later. And a few that have been so highly recommended by friends and family that they’re worth sharing.

Amazon Prime Days run from June 23–26, and many products are expected to be heavily discounted.

If you don’t already have Prime, you’ll need an active membership to access Prime Day pricing.

Prime membership includes:

  • Access to Prime Day deals
  • Fast free shipping
  • Prime Video
  • Prime Reading
  • Prime Music
  • Exclusive member discounts

One quick disclaimer: prices can change rapidly throughout Prime Days, so I don’t typically list exact pricing in my posts.

Now let’s get into some of my favorite Amazon purchases.

This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase through my links, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Some of the products below are items I’ve personally purchased and use regularly. Others have been highly recommended by trusted friends, family members, clients, and readers. As always, I only share products I would genuinely recommend.


Summer Favorites You’ll Reach for Constantly

Owala Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Let’s start with hydration. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m constantly talking about drinking more water. The Owala water bottle has become incredibly popular, and after using it, I understand why. PS, it comes in many beautiful colors.

What I love:

  • Keeps water cold for hours
  • Built-in straw
  • Leak-resistant design
  • Easy to carry
  • Durable construction

If you’re trying to improve your hydration habits, this is a purchase you’ll probably use every single day.

Oversized Cotton Beach Towel

This may sound like a strange favorite purchase, but once you use a truly oversized beach towel, it’s hard to go back.

Why I love it:

  • Soft
  • Absorbent
  • Large enough to actually stretch out on
  • Great for the beach, pool, or vacations

Palma Wide-Brim Fedora

A friend recommended this hat to me and absolutely raved about it. It’s a little more expensive than many summer hats, but sometimes quality is worth paying for.

Benefits:

  • Stylish

  • Great sun protection
  • Pairs with almost everything

Every woman has that one dress. The one people stop you and ask about. The one you wear and immediately get compliments. For me, it’s this blue and white dress, which by the way, it comes in multiple prints. I’ve received so many compliments on it that I had to include it in this article.

Why I love it:

  • Comfortable
  • Flattering
  • Easy to dress up or down

My Favorite Yoga Pants

As a Pilates instructor for more than two decades, I’ve worn more workout clothes than I can count. These have become some of my favorite yoga pants because they’re comfortable, flattering, and hold up well. Also, there are many color options.

Perfect for:

  • Pilates
  • Walking
  • Running errands
  • Travel
  • Lounging

My Go-To T-Shirts

When I find a t-shirt I love, I buy it in multiple colors. These are soft, comfortable, and incredibly versatile. The kind of shirt you reach for again and again. And they’re super affordable even without a Prime Day discount!

Brooks Sneakers

When people ask me about supportive walking shoes, Brooks is one of the first brands I think of. They’re consistently recommended by walkers, runners, healthcare professionals, and fitness enthusiasts. Whether you’re trying to increase your daily steps or simply want comfortable shoes, these are worth a look.

Wellness Purchases I’m Glad I Made

Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher

Clean water is one of my non-negotiables. This pitcher has become a staple in my home. I use it every single day and appreciate how easy it makes drinking filtered water.

Clearly Filtered Replacement Filters

One thing I appreciate about this system is how easy it is to maintain. I typically have my replacement filters on autoship, but you may want to stock up during Prime Day when they are discounted.

Essential Oil Diffuser

I’ve used diffusers for years and still love them. Whether I’m writing, relaxing, reading, or winding down for bed, they help create a calm atmosphere.

Red Light Therapy Favorites

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’m fascinated by anti-aging, wellness, and skincare technologies. Red light therapy continues to be one of the most talked-about tools in the wellness world.

Red Light Face Mask

This is one of the easiest ways to incorporate red light therapy into a skincare routine. People often use red light therapy to support healthier-looking skin and improve the appearance of aging skin.

As a nurse and Pilates instructor, I appreciate products that help people move more and feel better.

Loop Bands

Walking Pad

I actually purchased this walking pad for my husband four years ago. And guess what? He’s still using it. That’s probably the best endorsement I can give. It’s been a fantastic way for him to increase his daily movement without leaving the house.

Vibration Plate

This is one of the newer wellness tools I’ve added to my routine. While it’s certainly not a replacement for strength training, walking, Pilates, or regular exercise, I enjoy using it as an addition to my wellness routine.

Many people use vibration plates to support:

  • Balance
  • Circulation
  • Muscle activation
  • Recovery
  • Daily movement

It’s compact enough for home use and easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Books I Couldn’t Put Down

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I love personal growth, wellness, and a good book. These are two of my recent favorite reads.

The Frozen River

the frozen river book by ariel lawson

This was one of my favorite books I read this year. Without giving away spoilers, it combines historical fiction, mystery, resilience, and strong female characters in a way that completely pulled me in.

I found myself looking forward to picking it up every evening. If you’re looking for a book that keeps you engaged from beginning to end, this one is worth adding to your reading list.

Shop here: https://amzn.to/49WD1zL


Broken Country

broken country book

This was one of my favorite books from last year. It’s one of those stories that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading.

Beautifully written, emotionally compelling, and difficult to put down. If you’re a reader who enjoys books that make you think and feel, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

Shop here: https://amzn.to/4ekYJil


Kindle Paperwhite

kindle

If you love reading, this may be one of the best purchases you’ll ever make.

As someone who loves personal growth, self-help books, and learning, I find having thousands of books available on one lightweight device incredibly convenient.

Benefits include:

  • Lightweight
  • Long battery life
  • Easy on the eyes
  • Great for travel
  • Holds thousands of books

Shop here: https://amzn.to/4xpkuWP


Home Favorites Worth Every Penny

Cordless Vacuum

I personally don’t own a cordless vacuum, but my daughter and her roommate have this one and absolutely love it. They say the convenience alone makes it worth it. Instead of dragging a heavy vacuum around the house, they can quickly clean up everyday messes in just a few minutes. Plus it’s great for picking up:

  • Pet hair
  • Crumbs
  • Dust
  • Everyday messes

It’s one of those purchases that makes daily life easier. And honestly, when something makes cleaning less annoying, that’s a win.

Shop here: https://amzn.to/4or9Drn


AirDoctor Air Purifier

air doctor air purifier

This has become one of my favorite home wellness purchases. As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about health, I appreciate products that help create a healthier home environment.

Many people use air purifiers to help reduce:

  • Dust
  • Allergens
  • Pet dander
  • Airborne particles

Whether you have allergies, pets, or simply want cleaner indoor air, this product is worth considering.

Shop here: https://amzn.to/3Qd1mux


Ninja Air Fryer

This one has a background story. A client actually gifted this to me (Thank you, Isabel!). At first I wasn’t sure how much I’d use it.

Now? We use it all the time. It’s fast and convenient, making meal preparation incredibly easy. Yes, it takes up a little counter space, but we’ve found it’s worth the trade-off, and when we’re not using it, it can easily be stored upright to free up room.

Shop here: https://amzn.to/4eGDYPe


Teacher Gifts & Back-to-School Favorites

teacer supplies

I know many of you are already thinking ahead to the next school year. Prime Days can be a great opportunity to grab teacher gifts and school supplies before prices start climbing again.

Whether you’re shopping for:

  • Teacher appreciation gifts
  • Classroom supplies
  • Student gifts
  • Back-to-school essentials

This collection is worth browsing.

Shop here: https://amzn.to/4fE9PRK


My Prime Day Shopping Philosophy

When I recommend something, it’s because I genuinely think it provides value. Amazon Prime Days can be a great opportunity to save money, but the smartest purchases are the ones you’ll still be happy you bought six months from now.

Those are the products that truly end up being worth every penny. Some of the items on this list are products I’ve personally purchased, and others come highly recommended by people I trust.

Either way, these are the products I’d be excited to see discounted during Prime Days. And if you’re shopping this year, remember: buy what you’ll actually use, not just what’s on sale. That’s where the real savings happen.

I’d love to hear from you. What has been your favorite Amazon purchase of all time? Comment below and let me know!


Pin it for later

Kindle Paperwhite, The Frozen River book, Broken Country book, throw blanket, diffuser, and cup of tea arranged beside a cozy chair with warm lighting. Relaxing self-care and personal growth atmosphere.
