Your Kitchen Sponges Can Hold How Much Bacteria?! Use This $10 Alternative Instead

1 week ago | buzzfeed.com | Erica Kam

Scotch-Brite's dishwand brush stands out for its "soap control" feature, which allows you to store soap in the handle and press a button to distribute just the amount you need. The bristles have an antibacterial agent to fight off odor, and the head of the brush also has a built-in scraper to get off tough, caked-on food.
Polished Travel Outfits From Amazon That Feel Like Wearing Pajamas

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Lourdes Avila Uribe |Erica Kam

With loved ones scattered all over the globe, I spend more time flying than I ever thought possible. And as much as I value being comfortable on a plane, I simply refuse to sacrifice my personal style in the process. So while you will never catch me wearing hard pants on a 14-hour flight to Australia, I would rather not be clad in an ill-fitting tracksuit upon landing. Luckily, there are so many affordable comfortable clothing options at Amazon that this really never needs to be the case.
This Under-The-Radar Hoka Style Is The Best One For Walking

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Erica Kam

Over the past few years, Hoka has rightfully earned a spot in the conversation about the best brand for comfortable walking shoes. Known for their plush, “cloudlike” cushion, Hoka models like the Clifton 9 have been previously declared hypeworthy by HuffPost shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe. But the Cliftons aren’t the only shoes worth buying from the brand — in fact, my favorite model as a Hoka fan is one that tends to fly a little under the radar.
Practical Mother’s Day Gifts For The Mom Who Doesn’t Want Flowers

Mother’s Day will creep up on you faster than you think. If you don’t have a gift prepared yet, there’s still time, but you’ll want to start planning sooner rather than later so you’re not scrambling for a last-minute option. While a typical Mother’s Day gift may include flowers or jewelry — which are perfectly fine gifts! — not every mom wants the same thing.

The Most Comfortable, No-Frills Women's Underwear You Can Buy On Amazon

2 weeks ago | huffpost.com | Lourdes Avila Uribe |Erica Kam

When it comes to utilitarian undergarments, buying in bulk can make life infinitely easier. Once I hone in on a style of undies that I love, I stick with it — and purchasing multipacks is an easy, convenient and often the most affordable way to stock up on this wardrobe essential. I love a fancy panty as much as the next gal, but it’s rarely going to be my go-to option for daily life.

Your Kitchen Sponges Can Hold How Much Bacteria?! Use This $10 Alternative Instead

Even if you know instinctively that your kitchen sponge can get pretty nasty, the numbers still might shock you: 54 billion bacteria per cubic centimeter (yes, billion with a B) can be found on a kitchen sponge. For those keeping track, that’s similar to concentrations of bacteria you might find in your toilet.
The 'Holy Grail Of Dish Soaps' Is On A Rare 30% Off Sale

2 weeks ago | huffpost.com | Erica Kam

I have never heard people talk about dish soap the way they wax poetic about Dawn Platinum Plus Powerwash dish spray. So when I saw that it’s currently on sale for Amazon, with a bundle of one 16-ounce spray and three refills for 30% off (that’s just about $3 a bottle), I knew I had to spread the word. Dawn Powerwash stands apart from other dish soaps first and foremost because of the spray mechanism that allows you to easily cover dishes with suds that activate on contact, no water necessary.
