Black Friday Begins!

Black Friday Begins!
Shop and Save With Jessica
Are you ready for this?
Yes, it's That Time of Year again, the time when we stare deep into our wallets and ask, "What magic will you conjure this holiday season?" And also "Where did all that lint come from?"
To make things a little easier, we've created a post featuring items from Jessica's Amazon store, in a variety of categories from Pet Stuff to Skincare, and at price points from single digits to low triple. Almost everything here is on a special Black Friday reduced price, and at Amazon Black Friday lasts almost a week and a half: yes, the prices are slashed until December 1. In a couple of cases we've included non-sale items, and we'll explain why we couldn't leave those out.
Shall we begin?
Pet Present
Every pet deserves to be pampered, and every pet parent deserves to spend more time adoring their pet than cleaning up after it, so here is something to help you do just that.
ChomChom Roller Pet Hair Remover
Does what it says on the tin, even if you have a longhaired cat. Yes, even if you have a husky. This is like a specialized lint roller that's incredibly efficient at picking up pet hair, and would be welcome in any house with a sheddy dog or cat. Or ferret. Just a few quick swipes on the sofa cushions will make a big difference to your black yoga pants.
Prices range from $21.99-14.70 depending on color.
Housewares
Gifting homewares says that you care about your friends' home lives, their comfort, their security, and that you hope they're enjoying the simple joys of the season of hygge.
Plush to the Max Throw
Faux is haute, don't you know? And you won't find a cozier faux fur throw than this thikk boi. Oh lawd he comin'...to keep you warm and comfy on the sofa or in your favourite reading chair. And when he's not doing that, he's making your living room look just a bit more luxe, with his sensuous, strokeable pile.
Comes in 14 different colourways suitable for everything from a nursery to a boudoir, at prices from $31.99 to $49.99 , all of them currently marked down from $59.99.
Glamorous TV Tray Tables
I bet you didn't believe the headline, did you? But this set of two in gold toned hardware and faux marble definitely brings the glam to enjoying morning coffee al fresco, wrestling with spreadsheets by your favourite window, or catching up on those crazy YouTubers while eating Kraft Dinner with wieners.
The set comes with a matching serving tray, because the makers are clever people, and they know that nobody uses a tv tray in the actual kitchen, and that food needs to get to the trays somehow. And they let you do it in style! Thanks, manufacturers!
This is marked down to $76.49 from $89.99 , and has exceptional ratings, so even if you're not gifting it to someone, consider it for yourself.
Off the Wall Wall Animals
These wacky wall ornaments come with their own hanging hardware, and are surefire conversation starters. If someone compliments you on them, just say you shot them yourself. Then look smug.
Also available individually, the set of five is 20% off, at $71.96.
Good General Gifts
For that neighbor you don't know incredibly well, or the company Secret Santa, here are some Jessica-approved gifts that pretty much everyone would enjoy.
African Net Sponge
This was a recent Amazon product of the day, and now it's on sale! From an African-owned company, this is essentially a bundle of hand-knotted netting designed to gently exfoliate body skin and to be easy to clean, and quick to dry afterwards. No more slimy loofahs!!!
Available in 11 different colors, it's 20% off at $7.19.
Aromatherapy Candle 4 Pack: Jasmine, Caramel Whisky, Coffee Vodka, Cream Cherry Scent
Who says you can't please everyone? This multipack has invigorating coffee, calming jasmine, mellow caramel whisky, and cosy cherry cream. The candles are soy-based and high quality, so unlike certain cheaper candles they are as safe as they are enjoyable.
Down 17% to $23.74 , they're a very practical choice, particularly as you can split them up and make four different presents.
Skincare and Self-Care
Yeah, baby! This is where it's at, whether It is for you or for a valued friend or relative. Wannabe Beauty Guru followers know what they want, and here's where to get it. Amazon's got an amazing selection of items in this category, and we're here to steer you towards the Jessica-tested ones that really hold up and make a difference.
COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Face Moisturizer
The original! This is the cream that started the snail mucin craze, and you only have to try it once to become a fan. As we head into the winter, super-moisturizing products are more and more important. And for less than fifteen dollars, it's kind of shocking. This is one of the best around, and that price is unbeatable. I'd certainly recommend it for chapped noses, and I used to use Clinique Moisture Surge at several times the price.
It's on a steep 47% discount right now, at only $13.99 , so it's wise to stock up. This specific cream is the one that started the "slugging" craze, and now you know that it's literally accurate. Yay, trivia!
Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask
Mulberry silk is a unique, longer fiber than normal silk, making it even, uh, silkier against the skin, which is why it's used for sleep masks and pillow cases. This contoured model won't squish your nose, abrade your hair, or push on your eyeballs like poorly designed eye masks will. And it really IS thick enough to block out light without being heavy. Travellers like me and light sleepers all know that a good sleep mask can make the difference between a disturbed, fitful night and true restorative conk-out time.
In royal blue, black, blush pink, and off-brand Barbie pink, it's only $21.59 to $16.99 depending on colour.
Curenex PDRN Mask
So you can finally say you've had a salmon sperm facial just like Kim Kardashian, even if it's not mesotherapy. Whispers: Hers wasn't either.
This lovely mask from Jessica favourite Curenex has glutathione, peptides, and PDRN, and makes a luxurious and nourishing addition to your topical skincare. If you've been particularly hard on your skin lately, either through treatment or neglect, this will help get you back in shape.
A pack of five masks is $17.99. Although they're not on sale, we thought we'd include them because it's a great introduction to the wonderful range of Curenex products, either for existing fans of the brand, or for those who're yet to order from Korea but don't mind giving Amazon a whirl.
Hyaluronic Acid Powder
This is the easiest intro to DIY there is. Mix your own HA serum for hydration and pampering, and at a fantastic price per ounce. Just be sure to use distilled water for cleanliness! You can even mix it into aloe vera gel to make a very replenishing gel mask for a once-a-week treat. This particular powder is even food grade, and you can add it to smoothies for a hydration boost from the inside.
It's on sale for $29.59 until the end of Black Friday sales.
YourFace Beauty Pillow
This pillow is cleverly designed to offer comfortable support while also encouraging you to sleep on your back. As we know, it's important after certain kinds of treatments to lie on your back to ensure the treatments will settle evenly and in place, rather than shift left or right.
There are two sizes: large and standard, and the standard pillow also offers a cooling version for those inclined to overheat at night. Large is $49.99, Standard is $39.99, and Standard Cooling is $71.99. For an extra $5 you can order a satin pillowcase.
Fashion
Did you know our Jessica used to be a fashion designer? And has won international awards for it? That's why the Fashion section of her Amazon store is always packed with so many adorable outfits. Let's dive in!
A Denim Dress That Doesn't Give "Tradwife" Vibes
Is this not the cutest? An extraordinarily feminine design without being fussy, this snazzy number features a belt that ties flirtily in the back, and lantern sleeves that add interest and femininity. This shape is flattering to figures thick and thin, and the fabric is solid enough to have body while also being softer than a jeans denim.
At $37.99 it's only marked down 5% , but we still think that's a great price for a dress that you can wear to anything from brunch with the grandparents to date night to dog walking. Oh god, if I wore that walking the dogs, maybe I would finally meet my rich man after all! BRB, ordering.
Cottagecore Corset Dress
You've seen a lot of this dress on Jessica's videos, and you've probably heard a lot about it, because she's always asked where she got this adorable corset dress. It's simultaneously sweet, sexy, flattering, and elegant.
It comes in 12 different prints and solids, and once you have one you'll probably order another. Prices range from $30.95 to $39.09 depending on the colorway ; to me, the prints look a lot more interesting than the plain colors, but your mileage may vary.
Cosy Sweater Dress
Is it a sweater? Or a dress?
Yes, yes it is.
You can put it over leggings and boots, throw on a scarf and a beanie, and go out for an eggnog latte. Or you can put it over nothing at all and lounge around like a boho Zsa Zsa Gabor. Or you can wear it on a third date and get lucky. Woohoo, only one thing to take off!
It comes in 25 different colors, and is a whopping 44% off for the black version at $24.49 ; prices for the rest range from $17.48 for a bi-color version to $40.99.
The Elevated Track Suit
I own, and love, this tracksuit, so it comes doubly recommended. When you're doing casual, but non-athletic, things, elevated activewear like this is both comfortable and stylish. Note how the addition of a purse elevates the look. The colours are attractive, the fabric doesn't snag or pill, and the sizing is generous.
All 18 colors are 30% off, at $34.29. You'll want more than one.
Pretty Alhambra-Style Bracelet
If you know anything about jewelry, you know about Van Cleef and Arpels, and their iconic Alhambra collection. You'll also know that prices for Alhambra bracelets start at $1000 and go up to about $30,000. If you didn't know, now you do.
This is not that. But it's a beautiful, feminine, Alhambra-inspired 18k-plated design that's on sale for $17.57 , and a bargain at twice the price. If you want to see the real thing from Van Cleef and Arpels, you can check it out here.
Pure Glam
Now we have the ultimate category. These aren't for everyone; they're for your ride or die, the one who gets you, the one who deserves a little bit extra and isn't afraid to show it.
Holographic Sequinned Minnie Mouse Backpack
Yes, it's A Lot. It's also adorable. Holographic sequins, holographic bow, holographic mouse ears, holographic zipper trim. A. LOT.
Do you know anyone who deserves this splendiferous bag, and will love it as much as we do? Sure you do! Is it you?
It's currently 20% off, at an even $60 , and you deserve it.
Neon Motivation
Well, you are! And you're even prettier since you started looking after yourself with DIY. This belongs in a bedroom or dressingroom to start your day off right, or it could sit proudly in a home office, reminding the owner that they are more than just "that one in Marketing who's really good with Excel."
It's $79.99 , and not marked down, but it's just too good not to include in our roundup.
Happy Shopping and Happy Holidays to All!
