O&A Round Up: Amazon Favorites!
There is a reason you often hear the words “home” and “harmony” used together - because one has a direct influence on the other. So, while creating beautiful homes is our passion, creating true harmony is our purpose. And harmony begins in the soul. Relaxation, beauty, aromas, fabrics - the list goes on. They all work together to inspire harmony and feed the soul.
Here are a few of our O&A favorites from Amazon - our go-to website for great products that feed the soul and create harmony in YOU!

#1 Tyler lAUNDRY DETERGENT
Years ago, a client introduced us to this laundry detergent, and we’ve been a fan ever since! We use this detergent when laundering linens for our projects, and our clients always ask what it is - it’s Tyler, the super-concentrated laundry detergent that comes in many yummy scents. We love Diva for the Fall/Winter seasons and Limelight in Spring/Summer. Glamorous and High Maintenance are great scents.
#2 Capri blue volcano
If there was a signature scent in the beach homes along the gorgeous Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida, it has got to be Capri Blue Volcano! Every home, boutique, gift shop, lobby - you name it - is filled with this super enchanting and fresh citrus fragrance and it is pure heaven!
#3 The Let Them THeory by mel robbins
Everyone is looking for a great book before they hit the beach, and The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins is hands-down an O&A fave. As the prelude emphasizes, if you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by people’s expectations or life’s chaos, the issue isn’t you—it’s the power you give to others. The theory that we should let go, and “let them”, is one that really helps to release a lot of angst - and truly leads to greater harmony within.
#4 Crest Whitening Strips
Harmony and a happy home, undoubtedly, increase feelings of joy and happiness, and the result is more smiles! White isn’t just the trendy it-color in design - it’s the it-color for your teeth as well. Whiten and brighten that smile with our favorite Crest White Strips. These 3D Whitestrips, as Crest calls them, are super popular and for good reason - they work!
#5 mr sandman weighted blanket
I was introduced to weighted blankets by a therapist-client who recommended it for my children and pets during stressful weather events (or just occasional, anxiety-induced moments). They loved it so much, I had to try one for myself - and it is amazing! Mr Sandman’s weighted blanket is made of super soft microfiber, in a cute, minky pattern and available in an array of colors. It’s one of those things you don’t realize you need until you try it, but I promise, you will love it.
#6 silk pillowcase
Silk may be one of the ultimate luxury fabrics in home furnishings, but did you know silk is also the ultimate for your hair and skin? Proven to soften wrinkles, smooth the texture of hair, and reduce acne (yes, really!), silk pillowcases are truly the fountain of youth. The breathable properties of silk fabric also help to keep you cool in warmer months (hello, Florida summers!) and warmer in the winter months. These TSSPlus silk pillowcases are a must-have on any O&A bed and our clients thank us, and so will you!
#7 lumbar pillow
It’s a fact that we are all sitting longer, whether it be at our desks or in our cars. The O&A team is often spend hours at our computers on design projects or driving 80+ miles between projects, so a lumbar support is a must-have to get the job done comfortably and stay in harmony with our bodies.
#8 morrocan oil
As if the scent of Morrocan Oil Treatment weren’t dreamy enough, the effects of this hydrating, silky oil are just magic! It conditions, it smooths, it repairs, it adds shine - and, yes, it just smells so, darn good. Instant harmony!
#9 Seche clear & Vive gel base/top coat duo
If you’ve never heard of Seche Clear Base Coat and Seche Vive Gel Top Coat, well, you’re welcome! This stuff is a favorite amongst our design crew. We love a freshly-painted nail, but design is a rough job (we like to say “it’s only pretty when it’s done!), and it’s even rougher on our nails. This super-fast-drying, gel-like top coat dries within seconds and creates a gel finish over any nail polish (does not have to be a gel polish). It lasts at least a week or longer, when paired with the base coat. Pretty homes and pretty nails? It’s the O&A way.
#10 5 htp GABA GUMMIES
Designing, decorating, ordering, managing, mediating, problem-solving - all in a day’s work at O&A! So, rest, focus, mood, and stress management are super important. We’re a big fan of GABA, 5 HTP, theanine, and Ashwagandha to help balance mood and manage stress. While these gummies are currently out-of-stock, here is a link to another similar compound that has all the natural goodies. Click here
#11 Red light therapy wand
Red light therapy is all the rage these days and it’s no wonder why - because IT WORKS! Pain, stress, wrinkles, skin conditions, you name it - red light therapy treats it. This handy wand has great reviews (4.7 stars!) and can be used on the face, neck, hands, and any other surface area of the body that needs special attention. Apply your lotions and potions as you normally would and then use the wand to help these products absorb more fully into the skin and desired locations. And for under $30, it’s almost too good to be true!
#12-#15 Medicube products
We are OBSESSED with Medicube’s tried-and-true skin care products and cannot rave about them enough! There is a reason these products are all over social media and selling like crazy on Amazon and other sites.
The pore pads help to shrink pores, refine skin’s texture, and don’t dry-out your skin. They leave a nice glow and set the stage for the next products in the line-up.
The exosome shot is next -up and, boy, does it work some magic! You can literally feel it working - opening the pores and prepping your skin for what’s next.
The PDRN pink peptide serum goes on next and it’s another ace in the hole - well, pore. Cool, creamy, and dreamy, this serum packs serious punch and leaves your skin dewy, glowy, and ready for more Medicube miracles.
The jelly cream is a decadent moisturizer that leaves skin super soft and hydrated. Or, skip the jelly cream and go for their collagen mask. Use once or twice a week for a glow that is out of this world!
