25 Amazon Finds Scary Mommy Editors Are Obsessed With In May 2025

I'll let Julie Sprankles intro this piece: "Another month, another opportunity to drown our sorrows and existential angst in shiny, pretty, fun things we buy on the internet. Kidding! Or am I? I can't even tell anymore. Either way, we certainly won't begrudge anyone anything that makes them feel a little happier at this current junction in time. Especially since we here at Scary Mommy shamelessly harvest dopamine hits from Amazon in the form of things like vibe-y smart lamps, "book club"-scented candles, and perfectly portioned glass prep bowls that make eating chia seed pudding feel like romanticizing our lives. So, if you're in need of a quick hit of dopamine, too, take a look at the Amazon finds bringing us joy this month. Maybe you'll find just the thing you need to up your oxytocin."

Check those dates
Does Sunscreen Expire? Actually, Yeah & Here's How To Tell Yours Needs Replacing

This weekend, while it was cold in the northeast on what's meant to be the kickoff to summer, I rummaged through my linen closet to check the status of our sunscreen situation. Turns out, I had bought a haul at the end of last summer at Home Goods that I had forgotten about, but that's not the point. The point is, I thought to myself: does sunscreen expire? Like how useful was my binge-haul from last summer? Luckily, I recalled this recent piece by Katie McPherson, which laid out what to know about sunscreen expiration dates.

So as the season begins, maybe it's time to rummage through wherever you keep the stuff and see if your sunscreen is still OK to use.
