Sheet masks
Angel Reese's must-have Amazon products.

Taking care of my skin is a huge priority for me. Having a schedule full of late-night studying, traveling, and basketball makes it so important to take time for self-care. I love to pair a sheet mask with my Calm app to unwind after a long day. Pro tip: Prime Student members get exclusive savings on a Calm Premium subscription, you can de-stress from your last exam or a game that ends in a nail-biting buzzer-beater.

Insulated tumbler mug with straw
Angel Reese's must-have Amazon products.

Hydration is key for me, and a good water bottle helps me stay on top of it. This insulated mug keeps me motivated to drink water all day long, and the sleek design even fits in my car’s cup holder.

Silicon tablet protector
Angel Reese's must-have Amazon products.

This tablet protector is a must for keeping my tablet cute and protected. I love the prop-up stand that helps me watch my favorite shows with Prime Video on the go.

5.
Portable charger
Angel Reese's must-have Amazon products.

A portable charger is a must for busy days when I’m running around campus and need a charge between practice and class. I never leave the house without a portable charger. This one is small enough to fit in any purse, which is a huge plus.

6.
Weekly planner
Angel Reese's must-have Amazon products.

Organization is key to staying on track during the school year. Using a weekly planner is my hack to keep on schedule. Student-athlete life is no joke, and this is a great tool to keep my life organized.

Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector
Angel Reese's must-have Amazon products.

It might just be me, but I love wired headphones! The Apple EarPods are easy and compact, which means I can listen to my favorite music at all times. Right now, I’m listening to anything and everything Beyoncé, as I am getting ready to attend her concert! Amazon Music is free with your Prime membership, and you can shuffle play all the music and listen to the largest catalog of top podcasts without ads.

Life can be crazy as a student athlete, but Prime’s fast, free delivery makes it so easy to get all my favorite things delivered right to campus, and make sure I am always equipped with everything I need. Prime Student always has your back.
