Why trust BuzzFeed Shopping?
BuzzFeed Shopping puts service journalism first: Our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don't have to, reviewing products, verifying brand claims, and finding out what actually works in real life. We focus readers on sales, recommend products with authenticity (with real experiences, not advertising copy), and reflect our diverse audience, including a variety of price points, people and needs. We eliminate fake offers, favor useful information over glossy, and recommend both budget and luxury options with context so you can decide what's right for you – and still have a little fun in the process.
Ashley Schumacher is a freelancer who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years. The focus is on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products and anything that can make your everyday life a little smoother. When she's not writing, she's reading too many books and wandering around her home in North Texas with her husband and son.
