Amazon Faves: Quarantined Shopping

July 26, 2020

If you’re anything like me then your online shopping has taken a major increase. It could be the need to stock up on a few things due to the weather or the pandemic. It could also just be a bit therapeutic to have something nice come in the mail for you during a time when you’re searching for a reason to smile. Whatever the reason may be I’m sharing some things that I stocked up on from Amazon during our quarantine period.

Have you been baking up a storm? I know I have. These molds make for a really cute and fun way to serve your baked goods. They are smaller than a typical Bundt pant, but were having smaller gatherings now anyway so that’s perfect.

Silicone Fulted Pan Cake Nonstick Jello Molds Tube for Baking Buy on Amazon

Not an item for your home, but I thought it was still worth sneaking into this list. You know those little openings in your masks? You’re supposed to put a filter inside for extra protection. These are the filters I use.

50 PACK PM2.5 Activated Carbon Filter - 5 Layers Replaceable Protective Parts Filters Air Filtration for Adult, Cut Smaller for Children, Buy more, more discount automatically Buy on Amazon

When my hand mixer broke I shed a tear. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I decided to get something multi functional, but on the lower cost spectrum until I’m ready for something more durable and higher priced. This has gotten the job done for me throughout the quarantine.

Ovente Multi Purpose Immersion Hand Blender Set 500 Watts with 6 Speeds Control and 3 Premium Attachments including BPA-Free Food Processor, Egg Whisk, and Mixing Beaker, White (HS685W) Buy on Amazon

The air fryer is definitely one of my favorite purchases by far. I rarely turn on my oven anymore. I tend to try to cook small portions since I’m single and have no children and the air fryer is perfect for that. Things are done quickly since you don’t have to wait for preheating, and they are cooked in a more healthy way. I even use it in place of my microwave most of the time.

Chefman TurboFry 3.6 Quart Air Fryer Oven w/Dishwasher Safe Basket and Dual Control Temperature, 60 Minute Timer & 15 Cup Capacity, BPA-Free, Matte Black, Healthy Frying Cookbook Included Buy on Amazon

A lot of things were hard to find when the lock down orders first were mandated. Though stores seem to have been able to maintain a pretty good supply on things now (except those darn Lysol wipes and spray) I’m glad that when I had difficulty finding water I was able to get this Brita water filter shipped to me at a significantly discounted price for next day delivery. This is my most used and favorite product I’ve purchased thus far.

Brita Ultra Max Filtering Dispenser, Extra Large 18 Cup, Black Buy on Amazon
AIMILIA Butt Lifting Anti Cellulite Sexy Leggings for Women High Waisted Yoga Pants Workout Tummy Control Sport Tights Gray

We’ve all been spending a bit more time at home and I don’t know about you, but I like to be comfortable when I’m doing things around the house. Whether you want that professional at the time and comfy at the bottom look for your Zoom calls, or want something to just lounge around in, these are for you. The bonus is they are super cute a flattering if you want to wear them to the gym or to run errands. They help smooth out the tummy and thigh dimples. I’ll be getting a pair in every color.

Souper Cubes 1-Cup Extra-Large Silicone Freezing Tray with Lid - makes 4 perfect 1cup portions - freeze soup broth or sauce

These cubes are perfect for preserving broths, soups, portioning items and cooking. The material can go in your freezer or in the oven. This is perfect for the winter months where we will have more soups and broths to portion out throughout the season.

Hope you enjoy this list. Let me know if you’ve purchased something during this time that you really love. Happy Shopping!
