I used to bake for a living, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is my go-to appliance. Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I've probably made it using this mighty machine.

At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, and it won't take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you'll get beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun.

Oh, and installation is a snap — just tie the included straps to two trees and attach the hammock via the provided hooks.
The best beauty products are the ones that get to work while we snooze, which is probably why this serum is a fave of Elizabeth Hurley.

Wake up to a smoother, plumper-looking complexion!
