5 Helpful Amazon Finds Home Edition That Are Awesome
The glitz and magic of the holiday season has settled, and now I have a need to reset my home. While I’d love to do a full re-do on everything, the month is jam-packed with work deadlines, kids’ sports, and trying to bounce back from the last few months. These Amazon finds are helping me achieve my goals of health, happiness, and organization.
1. The Kitchen Hero: Weck Mason Jars (or any mason jar for that matter)
I’m moving away from plastic containers for my leftovers or anything that I’m going to heat. If you’re looking for ways to store your food without using plastic, Weck jars are the perfect glass jars.
- Why I Love It: They go from the freezer to the microwave to the dishwasher. I use my Weck jars for storing my seasoned nuts right now, but I’ve been using mason jars for a while now because they are perfect for on-the-go lunch. Pack last night’s pasta or a fresh salad, and you’re ready to go.
2. The Decor Refresh: Glass Candle Warmer Lamp
We got ours from a White Elephant gift exchange, and I have to say, I’m impressed! This candle warmer also looks gorgeous and adds a cozy glow without the flame. This is a healthier alternative to enjoy your candles.
- Why I Love It: The candle’s scent permeates the living space well. I also find that the candle doesn’t burn down quickly with the candle warmer, leaving you spending less on your favorite candles. Plus, it’s a safer way to keep the house smelling amazing even when I’m running around with the kids.
3. The Organizing Secret: Clear Acrylic Food Containers
Not sure if this is a secret anymore since I’ve been praising their utility for awhile now, but I can’t get over how much I love the food containers.
- Why I Love It: You can see exactly what you have and what you’re running low on. My favorite part, however, is that the food stays fresh and is protected. Having a clean, organized pantry helps me feel less overwhelmed, so it’s perfect!

4. The Self-Care Essential: Walking Pad
January is cold here in New York, and I still need to get my steps in each day. A walking pad is small enough that it doesn’t overwhelm a room but gives you the spot needed to keep your goals on track.
- Why I Love It: Movement is important, and if it weren’t for my walking pad, I wouldn’t be able to take care of myself and ensure that I’m getting my steps in. Walking is one of the best ways to exercise for stress and health.

5. The Investment Piece: Ninja Lux Cafe Premier
If you’re a coffee lover, this is an investment that pays in “delicious dividends”. The Ninja Lux Cafe is easy to use and now all my guests want one, too.
- Why I Love It: Since my cancer diagnosis, I’ve been trying to move away from plastics where I can, and that includes my pods. I tried the Nespresso, but it still felt wasteful by using pods daily. This system uses freshly ground beans and even has a cold brew option that will take me right into the summer months. It’s a little luxury that makes my mornings feel special.
Investing in You
This season of resetting has reminded me that the right tools can make everyday routines feel calmer and more intentional. These items aren’t about perfection. They’re about creating small moments of ease in a full, busy life. When your home supports you, it becomes easier to focus on what truly matters. Sometimes, the simplest changes are the ones that make the biggest difference.
