Not to sound dramatic or anything, but TikTok has changed my life. The amount of time I spent scrolling through the funny dance videos and DIY tutorials on the app is maybe a little bit concerning, but it's not all been wasted time. TikTok has, in fact, been a source of life-changing hacks and genius product recommendations I never would have discovered had a video clip of 60 seconds or less not popping up on my For You Page, which is the app's equivalent of a discover page. (Let me also plug Who What Wear's own page while I'm at it—you can follow here.)
Speaking of product recommendations, there's a trend going around the app where people drop their top Amazon buys that are random but "just make sense." To see what I'm talking about, scroll down to watch this example from fashion influencer Brittany Xavier. Naturally, I watched more than a dozen similar videos and soon after filled my cart with all the hidden finds I discovered.

Home and Organization Items
Lint rollers are fine and all, but they never really get the job done, you know? I saw someone using this to remove the pills that form on leggings and thought it was kind of genius.
As working from home is the norm, this phone holder is looking a lot more useful.
Multiple people recommend this makeup bag because it hold a lot, and you can totally customize the size of each compartment depending on what kind of products you have.
Avoid the fuss of using matches or getting your lighter to work.
As someone with a ton of jewelry who has yet to figure out a functional way to store it all, I think I need theses stackable boxes in my life.
I saw someone use these in their closet to hang jeans by their belt loops and thought it was a cool and visually appealing way to organize them.
For any and every drawer in your house.
If you're someone who uses a hair straightener or any hot tool, you need this for your counter and to store them while they're still hot.
Self-explanatory.
