Countless hours of my life have been wasted on Amazon. I find it equally as (if not more) addicting than Pinterest because there are so many random items you come across. I especially love to scroll through the beauty section, specifically the "best sellers" portion. You can find so many strange hygiene products that surprisingly have a cult-following on Amazon while perusing the pages.
