Amazon Find: The Drink Carrier We Love!

Lora Knows...

Okay, this is one of those Amazon finds that isn’t particularly fancy or exciting… until you have one. 😂

I originally bought this reusable drink carrier in red, and we ended up using it SO much that I bought another one. Now we keep one in each car, and Dean loves them just as much as I do!

We use these things ALL. THE. TIME.

Running out to Starbbies? ☕ Grab the drink carrier. Taking several bottles of water with us? 💦 Drink carrier. Bringing drinks into the office? Yep, drink carrier again.

It holds up to six drinks, has a handle that makes everything easy to carry, and when you’re not using it, it folds down so it doesn’t take up a bunch of room in the car. It’s one of those simple little things that you don’t realize you need until you have it.

And I especially love not having to juggle multiple drinks or deal with those flimsy cardboard drink carriers that can tip over before I make it where I’m going. 😬

The biggest endorsement I can give this one? We bought a second one. If something earns a permanent spot in BOTH of our cars, you know it’s a must have! Definitely one of my favorite inexpensive, practical Amazon finds!

Amazon Find: Handy Laundry Wool Dryer Balls

Lora Knows...

I’ll be honest… I didn’t expect to be excited about dryer balls. But here we are. 😄

I started using the Handy Laundry Wool Dryer Balls as a simple swap for dryer sheets, and they’ve officially earned a permanent spot in my laundry room.

First off, they’re 100% wool, reusable, and you just toss them in with your laundry — no measuring, no liquids, no chemicals. They bounce around in the dryer and help separate the clothes so air circulates better, which can help reduce drying time, wrinkles, and static.

What I noticed right away:
✔ Towels come out fluffier
✔ Heavy loads like bedding dry more evenly
✔ No overpowering “fake laundry smell”
✔ I’m no longer buy fabric softener or dryer sheets

Another bonus? A good set of wool dryer balls can last hundreds or loads, which means a three (2 sets per purchase) will likely stick around for for over a year.

If you like a little scent, you can add a couple drops of essential oil to the balls before tossing them in the dryer. I do this sometimes with lavender or citrus and it gives the laundry a really subtle fresh smell.

Bottom line:
This is one of those small home upgrades that quietly makes life easier — saves money, reduces waste, and works better than I expected. I’ve even given these to a friend and also a few clients in a new home gift basket.

Amazon Find: Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner

Lora Knows...

Oh my gosh! This could not be more fun to use.

I was online and came across a video of a person cleaning jewelry, eye glasses, makeup brushes and more in the ultra sonic jewelry cleaner they had purchased.

I immediately thought of all the things around my home I could clean, and poppped over to Amazon to find one. As usual I read reviews, did a bit more research on Google and found this amazing gadget.

The Professional Sonic Cleaner with One Touch Operation. It said it came with solution, but in the reviews it said it didn’t – so I ordered iSonic CSGJ01-8OZ Ultrasonic Jewelry/Eye Wear Cleaning Solution Concentrate.

I unboxed it as soon as it arrived and grabbed a bottled water – it said that was better than using tap. I poured water in, up to the line – added 1 capful of the cleaning solution and dropped in my stud earrings. I plugged it in and anxiously looked down into the vibrating pool to see what was happening to my earrings. Wow! There was definitely a bit of stuff coming out from under the stones, and a few seconds later it all seemed good.

I removed the studs from the solution and rinsed them off – and the brilliance of the sparkle was incredible. They hadn’t looked like that since Dean got them for me a few years ago. I then cleaned my glasses, Dean’s glasses, his ring, some other earrings and on and on.

This is definitely a fun gadget and so very handy!

Lora’s Amazon Find Score: 4.75/5 (rating reflects: that no solution was included)
