I Get Paid to Shop on Amazon, and My Top Purchases of All Time Start at $9

Must read

Despite the presence of Valentine’s Day, February is a hard month for me to love. All the major holidays are behind us, and the sunny days of spring and summer feel light years away. Still, this quiet, in-between month happens to be the perfect time to do some shopping. And, thanks to Amazon’s Presidents’ Day sale, there are plenty of worthwhile deals to choose from.

Since shopping is my full-time job, I’ve taken it upon myself to pluck out the best deals this weekend. From my favorite affordable facial cleanser to the pillows I can’t stop raving about, several of my top purchases ever are on sale. Not to mention, items I’ve been meaning to try, like this uber-popular Medicube face serum, are marked down, too. If that wasn’t exciting enough, I have even better news—prices start at just $9.

After repeatedly seeing this Hanes sweatshirt show up on best-sellers lists, I knew it had to be mine. The verdict? It’s worth the hype. The cozy crewneck is the perfect item to throw on when you can’t be bothered to get dressed, but still want to look cute. Recently, I’ve worn it with my trusty Levi’s jeans and chunky loafers. On colder days, I also like to layer on a crewneck T-shirt underneath for extra warmth.

If there was a competition for the beauty items I’ve purchased the most, Mielle’s hair growth oil, Crest 3D Whitestrips, and CeraVe’s foaming oil face cleanser would be the top contenders. The viral Mielle oil helped me regrow my edges, while the whitening strips are my secret to a pearly, bright smile. CeraVe’s face wash, on the other hand, is the perfect wintertime cleanser, since the oil-based formula keeps my dry skin hydrated.

As a shopping writer, there are products that cross my desk again and again. These Beckham Hotel Collection memory foam pillows, now on sale for $48, are the perfect example. Tired of my limp, thin pillows, I recently upgraded to the hotel-quality set, and haven’t looked back since. If you really want to elevate your sleep routine, add these $25 breathable sheets to your cart, too. 

With so many stellar items to shop right now, there might be some hope for February after all. Head to Amazon to find more Presidents’ Day sales, and browse through more of my favorites, below.
