New Video Alert: Testing Gadgets Under $15
A water-misting bottle, a cute toothpick dispenser, and a red wine stain remover put to the test.

It’s time for another round of gadgets, deals, and a peek back in time. In today’s video I’m testing three random Amazon finds. One sprays water at your face (on purpose), one dispenses toothpicks in a surprisingly fun way, and one claims to erase red wine stains like magic.
Plus, I’ve got a wild throwback from exactly one year ago involving the “Miracle Berry,” a few hand-picked deals you might want to jump on, and maybe even something new for your kitchen or gear bag.
Let’s dive in!
NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Amazon Gadgets Under $15!
🆕 My latest video is live, and this time I’m diving into three interesting Amazon gadgets: one to keep you cool, one for your countertop, and one that might just save your favorite shirt!
Here’s what I tested:
💦 Mist 'N Sip: A water bottle that sprays a cooling mist right in your face. Handy or just a gimmick?
🦷 Jonah Toothpick Dispenser: A whale-shaped dispenser that’s as decorative as it is functional… supposedly.
🍷 Chateau Spill Wine Stain Remover: This tiny bottle claims to erase red wine stains, even old ones. Too good to be true?
Click below to see how these gadgets fared and whether any of them earned a permanent spot in my collection!

DEALS 🏷️
📷Ring Doorbell + Indoor Cam: 43% Off

This Limited Time Deal drops the usual $140 price down to about $80! You get both a Ring doorbell cam and an indoor camera in one bundle, an easy entry into the Ring ecosystem if you’ve been on the fence.
🚰 LifeStraw Personal Water Filter – 31% Off
A must-have for hikers, campers, or emergency kits. LifeStraw is currently marked down and this product lets you safely drink from lakes and streams, filtering out bacteria, parasites, and even microplastics. Each straw lasts up to 1,000 gallons, which makes this a long-term value.
🧼 Shark Steam Mop – 29% Off
I’ve used an earlier version of this one and I’m a big fan. It cleans and sanitizes using nothing but steam, and this updated model has a larger water tank while staying lightweight. At under $50, it’s a great time to give steam cleaning a try.
Deodorize your microwave naturally!
Heat a bowl of water with lemon slices for 3–5 minutes. Let the steam loosen grime and neutralize odors.
ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Miracle Berry Tablets (2024)
Exactly one year ago today, I tested out the bizarre “Miracle Berry,” a little fruit that can flip your tastebuds upside down. Foods that are normally sour (like lime juice and vinegar) suddenly taste sweet, and the results were wild.
If you missed this taste-tripping adventure the first time around, now’s the perfect time to check it out:

📺 My April Giveaway is online now! This month I’m giving away a Cuisinart Coffee Maker, valued at around $100. This is the upgraded model to the version I tested out a few years ago (which you can see in this video), and I still use every day. Be sure to enter at this link.
SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping
Beware of “Too-Good-to-Be-True” Sites: If a site has heavy discounts and no clear contact info, return policy, or user reviews, it might be a scam. Always check Trustpilot, Reddit, or BBB before trying a new retailer.
Watch for Repackaged Returns: On marketplaces like Amazon, some sellers ship returned or opened products as new. Check the packaging carefully and report any signs of tampering.
Don’t Fall for Fake Countdown Timers: Many e-commerce websites use fake clocks to make you rush. Open the page in another browser and see if the timer resets (it usually does!).
Well, that’s all for today! Whether you’re misting your face, tackling a wine stain, or just looking for a solid deal, I hope you found something helpful (or at least entertaining).
As always, I appreciate you being here. If you end up trying any of the gadgets or deals I mentioned, feel free to reply and let me know what you think!
Until next time,
