SEO editorial assistant Sierra Hoeger, who is training for a half marathon, is stocking up on this hydrating helper. "As someone who doesn’t use pre-workout and dislikes Gatorade, it’s hard to put electrolytes in my body after a run or throughout the day," she says.

Utopia Bedding Zippered Mattress Encasement

Sutera Stone Bath Mat
“I’ve heard great things about this stone bath mat and as someone who’s tired of having to wash my bath mat every week, I think it’ll be a worthwhile investment,” suggests associate commerce SEO editor Kamari Stewart. “Not only is it easier to clean but since it dries so quickly, I won’t have to worry about stepping on an already wet mat (which makes me feel gross).” Although you can use the mat to keep your bathroom floor dry, the bath mat can be used for other purposes, too, including mudrooms and pools.

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C and Turmeric Face Oil
For Stessman, this Prime Day is about restocking some of her favorite essentials, including this Sunday Riley face oil. While it is on the pricier side, Stessman couldn't help but rave about how much she "love, love, loves" the product for her dry skin. However, it also works to solve other skin concerns, too. “I’m also prone to breakouts, but this doesn’t cause any and it leaves me with a nice glow," she says.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeLash-MD Lash Enhancing Serum

I’ll be buying this invisible ring sizer to keep my new engagement ring from twisting on my finger — it’s perfect for loose rings and currently 20% off!"
Darn Tough Vermont No Show Socks
“I honestly never gave much thought to the socks I was wearing, but I’m training for a marathon and I’ve realized that a bad pair of socks can really ruin a run," mentions Stessman. "I’ve been loving these ones recently, though. They have light cushioning so they’re super comfortable and don’t have any weird seams that will cause blisters."
Because the socks are made from a blend of merino wool, nylon and lycra spandex, they're breathable, soft and lightweight around the feet. "Basically, when I’m wearing them, I’m not thinking about my socks at all — which means it’s a good pair! I only have one pair, so I would love to get a few more, so I can wear them for runs and beyond," she says.
