Review: "This blanket does have a cooling effect. It's cooler to use no blanket at all. But if you are like me and need to cover up with something... it's awesome. If you do get hot, just give it a good shake. I recommend this blanket for people who need a blanket." - Amazon Customer

The reviewer said they leak. Why would anyone recommend swim goggles that leak?
Review: "Absolutely love these and use them all the time. I would recommend to anyone to use them!" - War Department
Review: "I was skeptical at first but this sun shade worked great. It makes a dramatic difference. I am the computer director for my daughter's swim team. I ordered this to use at home meets and was very impressed. It is easy enough to setup and fit the laptop without issue. I've attached a couple photos to try and show what it looks like. I'm not sure if this is worth the cost, it does seem a bit overpriced. But it can be really useful if you are using your laptop outside on a regular basis." - mv916

Review: "I was looking for something to cover my kindle while I lay in the sun to prevent it from getting so hot. This “little” umbrella is so perfect. It is well made and sturdy. I have a silicone case and it sticks perfectly to it… almost hard to get it off. It’s bigger than I thought which is great because it gives great shade. I would buy it again." - Rose
Review: "These are big enough for various size cups as you can see in the photos. I like that they come stackable and in a little mesh carrying bag. I also like that it comes with 4, so you can share with friends. It isn’t easily knocked over, it’s tall enough to stay sturdy in the sand, and they’re not bulky to carry in your beach bag. Definitely recommend!" - Brittsface

Fill the water bottle halfway with water. Cap bottle. Lie bottle on its side in freezer. When it's frozen, fill it up the rest of the way. Cost: $0.
Review: "I bought 2 of these for an outdoor football game in Arizona in the summer and they worked wonderfully! I highly recommend them. The battery lasted the entire 5 hours and the water reservoir helped cool the air tremendously. And there is even a 3 light led on it." - Michelle Smith
Review: "I don't write too many reviews, but this hat is too cute and I needed to. I'll start off by saying I have never wore a hat in my life, other than a wide brimmed hat at the beach. I recently had surgery on my face and have a large bandage covering half of my forehead. I wanted a hat to cover my face but I also wear high ponytails and a normal hat wouldn't work. This hat covers my bandage and works perfectly for my high ponys. I am no longer self conscious of going out in public or working out at the gym for fear of everyone staring at me. I have gotten many compliments and plan on ordering a other color!!" - D. I.
Review: "Has the electrolytes without the calories or caffeine 👍" - Mary Ellen Sackinger

Review: "We got 2 of these units for our 1500 sq. Foot townhome , one for upstairs and one for downstairs . Within 24 hours of turning them on we’ve noticed less pet odor from our dog who sleeps inside, less stuffy air, and no more lingering cooking smells! I have 2 babies under 2 years and we spend a lot of our time at home , it was important to me that our air quality was high for them and I feel like these units are helping us achieve that! The design is nice and it’s small enough that doesn’t take up too much space in our small home. I’m a happy customer so far and I’m looking forward to seeing the filter when it’s time to switch to see what this thing has caught in the air over time ☺️👍🏼" - Courtney
Review: "You will NOT regret purchasing this! I ordered the quart size and it gets me through 3-4 days. It comes with easy to follow instructions, and it’s very simple to use! I just ordered a second one as a house warming gift for a friend!" - Lexi Sponseller

You Can Now Wage Epic Water Wars Without The Post-Battle Guilt Of A Thousand Tiny Latex Casualties Littering Your Lawn, All Thanks To These Genius Reusable Water Balloons
Review: "We have a pool so we can’t use traditional water balloons. I found some reusable ones before, but they were flimsy and didn’t hold the water well, and eventually stopped working completely. When I saw these on Amazon and read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. And I am thrilled with the product. They’re adorable, but also splash and open up when thrown, I was worried that they may be too hard or they wouldn’t actually operate like a water balloon but they’re perfect. Their bright colors. My boys absolutely love playing with them. I’m really happy with the results." - Fontenots

When Your Skin Is Screaming 'I Regret All My Life Choices That LED To This Sunburn,' This Aloe Wrap For Sunburn Relief Is The Cooling, Soothing Hug It Desperately Needs
Review: "I avoid being sunburned at all costs, but I accidentally forgot sunscreen on my legs over the weekend, and I was intense pain. I tried the typical aloe lotion, steroid cream, and other remedies. Desperate for relief, I searched Amazon and came across these. They delivered quickly, and I threw them in my refrigerator for a few hours. I read reviews that said to sit with them on so that they stay put, so before bed I broke them open, and instant relief! The cooling sensation plus non-sticky hydration is the perfect combination to nurture a sunburn. These will be my new go-to! One package covered the front of my (plus size) legs with a little to spare." - Blonde Belle

Or buy one aloe plant. They're nearly impossible to k**l and they have babies. From one plant, I have about 30 of the dåmn things.
Review: "So my 3 year old and 10 year old are constantly fighting me to put sunscreen on. This actually makes it so easy for them to put it on themselves. I just have to go behind them to touch up some spots. This also makes it really easy for quick reapply between baseball games. My son has very fair skinned. His face gets a lot of fun during the game. I can just toss this at him for a quick apply and go when switching innings." - HVK
