New Video: 3 Products Viewers Asked Me to Test!
A bouncing battle, a towel test in the wind, and a car desk that might ruin your steering wheel.

I hope you are having a great week so far! I’m back from my brief trip to California and back to the grind. Today I’ve got a fun new video for you today featuring three super simple products that viewers requested, including a guest appearance from an old high school friend. I’ve also included some solid deals, a handy household hack, and a look back at what I was testing exactly two years ago. Let’s jump in.
NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Testing 3 Ridiculously Simple Products
This week I tested three simple products that viewers asked me to try: a super bouncy Moon Ball, a set of silicone towel bands made for beach chairs, and a tray that turns your car steering wheel into a desk. One of them surprised me, one mildly annoyed me, and one might actually be kind of brilliant. Check out the full video at the link below.

DEALS 🏷️
BedJet 3: 37% Off

I’ve said it many times before: the BedJet is probably my favorite product out of the 1,700+ I’ve tested over the years. The BedJet 3 is currently 37% off for a limited time. If you’ve ever considered getting one, this might be the perfect chance. It’s on sale both on Amazon and direct from the company.
🩺 Blood Pressure Monitor – 44% Off
My blood pressure tends to run low, and I’m on a few medications that lower it even more, so having a blood pressure monitor at home has become second nature. As we get older, I think it’s something most people should keep in their medicine cabinet. This model is not only marked down 44%, but it’s also Amazon’s #1 Best Seller.
🏋️♂️ Resistance Bands – 40% Off
During lockdown, my trainer and I shifted our workouts to a local park and swapped out weights for resistance bands. I still use them today because they’re portable, versatile, and great for full-body workouts. This set is currently 40% off, bringing the price under $10.
5-Minute Decluttering
Here’s one I sometimes use to slowly declutter my house. Set a timer for 5 minutes and tackle one small zone such as a drawer, a counter, or your nightstand. Don’t even try to “organize.” Just toss, donate, or move anything that doesn’t belong.
Doing this once a day is more palatable than marathon clean-ups and builds momentum without burning me out. Some days I’ll do it a couple of times. Over time, you’ll start noticing a difference.
ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Temu vs Wish (2023)
Exactly two years ago today, I compared two popular bargain sites: Temu and Wish. I ordered similar products from both and stacked them up across the board, comparing shipping time, product quality, website usability, and more. While the items themselves were similar, nearly everything else about the two platforms was dramatically different. It was one of my earliest deep dives into Temu, and the start of many more to come.

That’s it for now! If you end up trying any of these products (or have a better way to keep your towel from flying off your chair), feel free to reply and let me know. I always enjoy hearing what you think. I’ll be back with my next review (hopefully) this weekend!
