This Pot Waters Your Plants For You
The GrowOya Oya pot (also called an olla, which means earthenware pot in Spanish) is a strategically shaped receptacle that you bury up to its neck in soil and fill with water. As it stays buried among your plants, their roots will instinctively grow towards the Oya and attach themselves to the pot's exterior, thus creating an irrigation method watering system where the plants only take the amount of water they need, so there's no risk of over- or under-watering.
The irrigation method also means less water waste and significantly less effort on your part because it replaces daily watering and only requires you to refill the pot every five to seven days using the removable silicone cap at the top of each pot. The silicone cap is a key component of the GrowOya design because it helps create a vacuum seal that regulates optimal water flow.
Another major part of the pot's self-watering magic is its special porous clay material that allows moisture to pass through the exterior and directly to the plant's root. The clay promises to remain resistant to root damage and is compatible with all soil types.
Based on the overwhelming amount of promising reviews for the GrowOya pot, this watering innovation has been an effective tool for both gardening novices and green thumbs alike. One reviewer claimed that it made an 'incredible difference in the garden' and allowed their plants to thrive, even in record-breaking heat.
There's even more happy Oya buyers whose promising words can be found down below, or grab yourself a pot just in time for gardening season.

This TikTok Cleaning Device Is A Must For Cat Owners
Even the most ardent cat people will agree that cleaning the litter box isn't cute. It's messy, smelly and demands complete wrist control or else you'll end up with a breadcrumb trail of litter from the box to the trash can. Until now. One reviewer said using an integrated scoop was easier and quicker than other devices she had tried, and lighter to hold. To help you step up your litter box game, here is an all-in-one scooper you'll use every day. Neater Pet's Neater scooper with a separate bag pack With over 6,000 positive reviews, this scooper from Neater Pets is a fan favorite. It comes with a separate waste bag holder than you can attach to your litter box or to the scoop itself, and comes apart for easy cleaning. Reviews say this works better if you have a larger litter box and/or a litter box that allowed for you to easily reach into it to scoop. Promising reviews: "I would recommend this to anyone who has the fun job of cleaning a cats "sand box" as I call it. It makes it SOO easy to sift through and so simple. When scooping, I have found using the scoop to get as much of the litter you can sifted and then turn the scoop upright and the poop goes into the bagged end. There is a flap that keeps the poop inside while you continue to sift. You can turn it upside down to scoop more and it doesn't come out as long as the flap closes. The scoop snaps off, you take the pooped filled bag out, tie it up and discard. Works perfectly. With this, it doesn't make a mess and you don't rarely don't have to change the entire litter in the box. I give this an A+." —Pamela Wessinger"I like the fact that I can use this to scoop and bag at the same time. The trap door does work and keeps it from falling back out. I don't have to hold the bag and worry about litter poop and urine getting on my fingers." —knuckleup10Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

35 Items That Don't Mess Around When It Comes To Results
All-in-one decor paint for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition-worthy transformation. The chalk-like paint comes with a built-in primer to help it cling to most surfaces, from upholstery and wood to metal and glass. With over 50 colors to choose from, this paint can help you revitalize every room in the house. Aaand it dries in just 30 minutes! A deep-conditioning hair mask promising smoother, shinier, and stronger hair, even if you're fighting against bleached, dry, or damaged locks. It can even handle Florida levels of humidity! A lawn dog spot repair treatment to make your crispy, brown lawn look like it belongs in front of a house in Emerald City. Reviewers say they noticed results almost immediately — as in *days*! A lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. One reviewer found success with this when expensive neck creams from department stores and Sephora fell flat. A pack of stain-removing pads to obliterate all the unwanted pet-related stains in your home. Lay a pad on an unwanted blemish, stomp, toss the pad, and admire your pee-free carpet. It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MCGet a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.99. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and sets the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. The fairly-priced product offers light to medium coverage and won't feel crusty. A jewelry cleaning pen you can count on to add new shine to your gems, no costly trip to the jeweler required. As someone who refuses to take off rings before washing dishes, showering, etc., I need this! A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out. A pet brush with thin, long teeth capable of getting to the undercoat. A good brushing means a silkier coat — and best of all, less shedding. Promising review: "Wowwww!! I thought we were getting a lot of fur off our mini Maine coon mix with our regular cat brush, but I had no idea how much we were missing until I bought this comb! Bella is visibly sleeker and happier after two good de-shedding combing sessions. The best part is that she LOVED it, which says a lot, because she typically will only allow a few swipes of the brush at a time. But with this comb, she even let me get her BELLY fur!!! For a cat who rarely likes being touched for more than 10 seconds, that is incredible! 5 out of 5 stars, telling everyone I know about this comb!!" —RebeccaGet it from Amazon for $14.97. A Briotech spray that uses hypochlorous acid, an ingredient found naturally in our white blood cells, to help strengthen your skin barrier and soothe rashes, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, and other skin irritations. It's similar to certain spendier refresh sprays, but without the cute bottle tax. A nail and cuticle oil to bring life back to your damaged nails, even if you did something really bad like — gasp! — peel off a gel manicure. Bonus: Reviewers say the oil smells amazing, so be prepared for people to compliment your "perfume." Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off). The argan oil-boosted formula moisturizes and tames frizz while adding a level of volume and shine you'd normally expect from a much higher price point. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement so your itchy dog can finally find some relief. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help improve immune function, aide digestion, and promote healthy skin. Bonus: They add a nice shine to your dog's coat. Remember to consult your vet before trying new review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine... nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He's the happiest he's been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats... he eats these every time so that's an added bonus!" —Darcie NationGet them from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in three sizes and three flavors). A pack of carborundum sponges — YES, the stuff they make bulletproof vest plates out of — because tough jobs require tough solutions. Just dip one of these in water and start scouring — the nano-particles will cut through intense grease, grime, and stuck-on food bits when all other earthly measures to keep your pots clean have failed. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent the dreaded "all my clothes are now pink from this one stray red sock" debacle. These handy sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds so you can keep enjoying your white tees. A crack weeder tool if your home looks like it's trying out to star in the next season of The Last of Us. The L-shaped head can sneak into tight spaces and tear out the weeds, moss, and stubborn roots that have rudely taken up residence in your sidewalk. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful. Or E.l.f Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. Priceless! A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks. A tube of Roc retinol night cream possibly imbued with time traveler magic, because it will feel like you're turning back the hands of time when you go to sleep each night. OK, maybe it won't be that dramatic, but the shea butter and squalane will hydrate, and the retinol will work hard to smooth and possibly reverse some signs of aging. This reviewer says it's a great alternative to prescription retinol. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray renowned in the parenting community thanks to its uncanny ability to erase stains from most fabrics in record time, all without harsh ingredients like chlorine, sulfates, or perfumes. Just spritz some on spilled juice, melted Popsicles, chocolate (hopefully), and more to watch them go *poof* and disappear. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that's way more convenient than a painful trip to the dentist or an annoying attempt at the strips. Just brush your teeth with the bristled pen whenever you have a minute to work through stains and discoloration (without sensitivity, according to 800 5-star reviewers). A roll of scar tape, aka silicone sheets that mimic the skin's barrier, locking in moisture and preventing the excessive healing that could lead to scarring. Bonus: Some reviewers have used the tape as a short-term measure to reduce the appearance of fine lines — it temporarily smoothes the skin by keeping it taut overnight. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 80,000 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows — who knew something so effective was just sitting on a drugstore shelf this whole time? A container of oatmeal paw butter that'll soothe and relieve your dog's cracked, dry paws. Its eco-friendly formula is pH-balanced so it's safe for pets, even if licked or swallowed. *seriously considers licking it myself to see if it really tastes like oatmeal* Promising review: "This stuff smells so good! It smoothed my dog's paw pads the next day. It felt so soft! This is a miracle I love this product and it's a great price! You get a good amount of product. Thank you so much. This has helped my pups so much!" —SamiGet it from Amazon for $15.05. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home. The carnauba wax and beeswax enhance and protect your wood from drying out, so you can keep your great-grandmother's rocking chair in tip-top shape with just a few swipes. Etude Dear Darling Water Tint, a smudge-proof lip tint and blush offering such a delicate pop of color, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with lipstick or powdered blush. Reviewers love that it's buildable, doesn't transfer, and works better than pricier brands. A shoe stretch spray if you have a pair of gorgeous loafers or sandals you love but never of the agonizing pain that comes with it. This spray will gradually stretch them out without staining or fading and is likely more effective than the freezer trick. A roll of 10M wood grain tape perfect for frameless mirrors that could use a little more panache. The waterproof adhesive is easy to apply and does a convincing impression of wood grain. When you're ready for a change, the tape peels off easily. A reviewer-loved scar gel made with panthenol to help encourage skin regeneration and allantoin to moisturize and help speed up the healing process. The formula even works on older scars, and customers have also used it to soothe burns, sunburns, and tattoos. An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners (36,000+ positive ratings and counting). While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual. A TikTok-loved lip plumper set with day and night serums that work together to give your pout a boost. Use the minty one at night to hydrate and smooth, and then the tingly ginger one to give your lips a little more volume. Fruit and veggie wash because just rinsing with water doesn't feel like enough and using actual soap feels like too much. This spray is the middle ground and helps safely remove wax, soil, and handling residue. Promising review: "This stuff is great and I have ordered it several times. In the past, I just rinsed fruit or vegetables, but I was at the grocery store recently and saw a very cute kid touching all the fruit. He also had a runny nose and I just thought, 'better remember to really wash the fruit when I get home.' The great thing about Veggie Wash is you can feel the wax film wash off of certain fruit. It really does a great job of cleaning and doesn't leave any odd smell or taste. As I said, I've bought this before and make sure my kitchen always has a spray bottle nearby." —Me in SoCalGet three spray bottles from Amazon for $25.86. A hair-lightening spray to brighten up hair by TWO shades or more! Spritz a little of this citrus and chamomile spray onto damp hair, then activate it with heat-styling tools. I recommend blow drying and hitting it with a curling iron or straightener for the best results. Over 7,000 5-star raters love it because it's less harsh than bleach and even works on dark hair.

20 Kitchen Gadgets People Regret Buying
If Amazon sales have ever tempted you into buying new, seemingly convenient gadgets for your kitchen, this is your official sign to reconsider. Recently, I asked Tasty readers about the kitchen gadgets they regret buying the most, and I'm honestly taking notes. Ahead, I've rounded up 20 different appliances people wish they had never bought. Hopefully, this can save a few of you from buyer's remorse: "A vacuum marinating box. In theory, it makes marinating more efficient as the vacuum draws the marinade into the meat quickly. In practice, it's a pain to get set up, the pump gets lost in the cupboard, and it doesn't actually work as well as a good, old-fashioned plastic bag. I should have known there was a reason it was marked down from $35 to $5!" —Stephen, 33, Ohio "I have a potato chip maker that sits in my cabinet. It was cool the first and second time we made them, but honestly, they're not that good, and slicing the potatoes that thin is a pain in the butt. Maybe I'll wow my grandkids with it, but for now it's hiding up on the shelf." "Turkey baster. We got it for a turkey once and then never used it." —Anonymous "Many hyper-specific 'Make your own X!' gadgets are my family's main regrets. A SodaStream and ice cream-making attachment for our KitchenAid comes to mind. You can only use them for specific foods and recipes, and it's more of a hassle than it's worth, especially now that I've found homemade ice cream recipes that don't need a maker or mixer." "Why did I buy the sous vide gadgets? I have never used them." —wickedmatcha306 "My automatic can opener." "A knife set. Only use three to four, and the rest sit in the knife block." —Anonymous "I bought a food chopper for garlic and herbs, but it didn't do a good job, required just as much work and time, and was hard to clean." "I bought an egg cooker that I've only used once, which makes hard-boiled eggs without tons of water. The thing works and was only $10, but nothing prepares you for the horrible screeching sound it makes when the eggs are done. The instructions don't make any mention of it. The noise scared me and my cats to death! I promptly cleaned up, put it back in its box, and threw it into the furthest recesses of my cabinet, never to see the light of day again. Regardless of the convenience and price, that screeching sound just isn't worth it!" —fluffycactus311 "Microwave omelette maker. Useless. My omelette turned out like a piece of old leather, and I followed the instructions." "Waffle maker. It takes up so much space!" —Sandra, Instagram "I bought one of those breakfast sandwich makers. Total waste of money." "Pasta roller. Not the attachment for the KitchenAid mixer, a standalone pasta roller that you can clamp to a table or countertop to roll out lasagna, fettuccine, or linguine. I've had it for 20 years and haven't used it even once. Oh, I've thought about using it plenty of times, but it's so much easier just to use dried pasta or even to get fresh pasta from the Italian store down the street from me." —Aubrey W "I bought a specialty large colander that fits my Delta sink that has a ledge to place items on. It's huge. I never use it. It doesn't store well, but I'm afraid to throw it away because what if one day I have to make five boxes of spaghetti or something?" "I carried around an apple corer across the country and into a new house, and finally I realized I'm not gonna make apple pie if I haven't in the last 10 years..." —Robin, Instagram "Juice extractor. I hate the cleanup." "Peeler and garlic press. I prefer using a knife to peel carrots/potatoes or chop the garlic. I forgot that I have both of these." —Anonymous "Ravioli maker. I've never used it." "Spätzle maker. I've used it once." —Adrienne, Instagram "Cheese cutter — just use a knife." What else belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments or fill out the anonymous form below!
