News Information and Media Site: The best iced coffee maker EVER.

Hi, I'm Sam!

I'm an Associate Editor on the Shopping team at BuzzFeed and have been working here for four and a half years now. I get to spend all day looking at cool products, writing about them, and resisting the urge to buy every.single.thing. AKA I have the coolest job ever. I currently live on Long Island with my family and our adorable 1-year-old Havanese, Bailey and feel very passionate about Long Island pizza, bagels, and Ralph's Italian Ices.

In the rare moments when I'm not online shopping, I can usually be found reading a book (currently attempting a 50 books Goodreads challenge this year), curating themed Spotify playlists, taking a spin class with my favorite Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby, or trying out new recipes. I'm also a big pop culture/concert fanatic so if you ever wanna discuss Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, or Harry Styles, feel free to hit me up on Instagram!

Hope you enjoy my picks!

WHAT I'M LOVING NOW

Book of the Month — $14.99/month

I initially joined BOTM a few months ago when a book that had been on my TBR list for a while (People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry, 10/10 recommend!!!) was one of the selections. I'm so glad I made that decision because choosing my BOTM pick each month has become the most fun little gift to myself and it's always so exciting to see which books they're gonna pick. Not to mention, they give you so much flexibility when it comes to skipping months and applying book credits towards future months.

Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker — $19.99

Not to be dramatic, but I don't know how I made iced coffee before getting this cold brew maker a few weeks ago. If you make iced coffee at home, this is truly a game-changer. It's so simple to use and now I have delicious iced coffee waiting for me in the fridge when I wake up in the morning. No more brewing hot coffee, pouring it over ice, attempting to drink a lukewarm/watered down cup of coffee, and ending up at Starbucks when all is said and done.

Harry Styles-inspired Air Freshener — $7.87

This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Etsy. For starters, it's a great conversation piece — anytime a friend sees it, they have to know where it's from. I got this a couple months ago and the scent has worn off now, but in the beginning, it smelled AMAZING. I got it in sandalwood vanilla and highly recommend it. If you're not a Harry Styles fan, that's cool — this Etsy shop has tons of other celebrities/memes available as air fresheners so you're bound to find one that you love!

Bev Canned Rosé — $49

Wine is usually my go-to drink of choice, but I've never had wine out of a can that I actually enjoyed. That is until I recently got the chance to test out a variety pack from Bev. All of the varieties were great, but the rosé might just be my new favorite summer drink. It's refreshing and has a delicious fruit flavor without being sickly sweet. I keep a few in my fridge so that I always have a cold one ready to go when I'm lounging by the pool. These would also be great for picnics and barbecues — just remember to drink responsibly!
