I literally just randomly stick all of the stuff on my desk in this thing and it’s completely transformed.

This Silicone Bottle Brush That Will Make You Swear Off Sponges Forever

  via : Amazon  

If you think about it, sponges are gross. And for some reason, I think about it a lot. They’re soggy, smelly, and basically just spread around more germs instead of actually removing them. My husband knows how much I detest sponges, and recently surprised me with this silicone bottle brush. It fits into every nook and cranny and never gets that dreaded mildew-y smell.

  via : Amazon  

My bathroom is tiny. TINY. I can barely fit a toothbrush in there, so it’s safe to say that I have a serious storage problem. In an effort to fix this issue, I bought this adhesive bathroom shelf, and it’s been a total game-changer. It sticks securely to the tile of my shower so it takes up minimal space, and holds everything I could possibly need in the shower, including my phone!

This 2-in-1 Portable Charger That Keeps Your Devices Charged On-The-Go

  via : Amazon  

I’ll admit it: I’m addicted to my smartphone. I’m on it constantly, and when it starts to die when I’m out and about without access to a charger I get incredibly anxious. I also completely rely on it to get around, since I have a horrible sense of direction. This portable charger also works as a power bank I never have to worry about that little blinking battery sign again.

This Ponycap That Solves An Annoying Problem

  via : Amazon  

I have very thick hair that has a mind of its own. For years, I longed to be able to rock a casual baseball cap on a hot summer day. The problem? My long locks simply won’t allow it. I’m either forced to wear it down which looks weird with a cap on, or awkwardly shove it through the hole in the back which looks, well, awkward. This Ponycap has a specific spot for my hair to go through, and I can’t wait to wear it all summer long.

These Pet Cords That Keep Your Critters From Ruining Your Electronics

My dog chews on everything. If it looks expensive, she’ll try to destroy it. This is definitely the case when it comes to cords, which not only causes damage but can be dangerous for her as well. These Pet Cords create a barrier so my electronics are protected and I can easily cut them to the exact sizes I need.

This Pantry Organizer That Takes Up Minimal Space

I love my house, but I don’t love the non-existent amount of storage.

This pantry organizer has completely transformed my kitchen, and it’s allowed me to finally take my curry powder out of my bathroom.

These Onion Goggles That Turn Off The Water Works

  via : Amazon  

I put onion and garlic in pretty much everything I make. And while I love the spicy, savory flavor that onions add, I hate how much it burns my eyes. I look like I just watched Old Yeller every time I chop it. These onion goggles are ridiculously brilliant. The cushy foam keeps onion fumes out so my eyes stay dry.

This Seat Cushion Set That Does Wonders For My Back

  via : Amazon  

About a month ago, I noticed some horrible back pain that never seemed to go away. No matter how much I stretched, slept with a pillow between my legs, or forced my husband to give me back rubs, it still hurt. And then, it donned on me: My office chair was to blame. This seat cushion aligns my spin when I sit and it’s made a huge difference.

This Minimalist Toothbrush Holder That’s Cute And Clever

  via : Amazon  

Remember what I said about barely being able to fit a toothbrush into my tiny bathroom? That wasn’t a joke. I literally have nowhere to put it. I have a pedestal sink and zero cabinet space. This toothbrush holder is not only incredibly small, but it’s also incredibly chic at the same time. It almost makes me forget how much I hate my bathroom!

This Magnifying Mirror That Shows You What Your Face Actually Looks Like

  via : Amazon  

Okay, so I get how the thought of looking at yourself with 15X magnification sounds rather terrifying. And it is, at first. It turns out my skin looks much, much different than I thought it did and I’ve been using the wrong shade of foundation for my entire adult life. This mirror is like your rude friend who tells you the harsh truth when you really need to hear it.

This Magnetic Cup Holds Pencils on the Fridge or Filing Cabinet

  via : Amazon  

I’m the kind of person who makes an actual, paper, hand-written grocery list. I know, I know. I’m old-school. But my favorite way to do it is while looking through my fridge and figuring out what I actually need and what I already have. This magnetic pencil cup keeps a pencil right on the fridge for easy access, and it looks cute doing it.

This Universally Flattering Lipstick That Works On Literally Everyone

I’m a pale, pale redhead, so finding the right shade of lipstick is always a struggle. They either make me look even paler or, for some odd reason, totally orange, which, because of my hair, makes me look like a giant pumpkin. But this lipstick is different. It’s a delightfully neutral pink that I’m certain would look amazing on absolutely everyone. I keep it in my purse at all times!

These Popular Leggings That I Wear Every. Single. Day

  via : Amazon  

I’m going to be completely honest with you right now: I own three pairs of these leggings. And I’ve thought about buying more. I want one for every day of the week. I have an 8-month-old baby, so comfort is my top priority. Not only are these incredibly comfortable, but they also make me look surprisingly polished even when I’ve only gotten four hours of sleep.

This Laundry Guard That Keeps Your Socks From Disappearing

  via : Amazon  

I’ve had a problem with missing socks for as long as I’ve been doing laundry. For some reason, when I’m folding my clean clothes and matching socks together, there are suddenly all singles and no couples. Then it dawned on me: They’ve probably all been falling behind the washer and dryer this whole time. And it’s gross back there, so I’d rather just avoid that area altogether. This laundry guard lets me do that and I’m forever appreciative.

This Koala Kloth That Buffs Away Smudges

I recently got some reading glasses, since my eyesight isn’t what it used to be and I stare at a computer screen all day long.

This Koala Kloth erases every fingerprint and spot in an instant without scratching or damaging the lenses.

This Hairbrush Rake That Cleans Your Disgusting Brush

  via : Amazon  

If you’re anything like me, you never once considered the fact that you need to clean your hairbrush. Clean it?! It’s a hairbrush! Why would I need to clean it?? Well, you do. It’s really, really gross. But luckily, you can, thanks to this hairbrush rake. I use it once per week and it makes me feel a whole lot better about touching my head with my brush.

This Gooseneck iPad Holder That Lets You Watch Your Devices Hands-Free

  via : Amazon  

I work from home, so I like to watch things on my tablet while I write. The only issue with this is that I have to either awkwardly prop it up somewhere or just watch it while it sits flat on my desk. This gooseneck tablet holder makes it easy to watch my favorite shows and movies and takes up hardly any space on my desk. Score!

These Glass Bottles That Are Good For Both You And The Planet

I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort to create less waste and use less plastic in my daily life. These glass bottles have definitely helped me do that. I keep one on my desk as my water bottle, use another for my homemade salad dressing, and am constantly finding new uses for the rest of them. Plus, they add a touch of class to my kitchen that I really appreciate.

These Claw Gloves That Make You Feel Like Wolverine

  via : Amazon  

Our house has a huge backyard with raised planter beds, and while I was excited about the prospect of starting a garden when we first bought it, I’ve been too intimidated to plant anything yet. Luckily, my mother-in-law has offered to show me the ropes, so I went on the hunt for some hardcore gardening gloves. And boy, are these babies hardcore. The built-in claws make digging easy and bring out your inner feline. (Or superhero).

This Floating Wine Glass That Lets You Live Your Best Life

  via : Amazon  

As the mother of an infant, I lead a pretty stressful life. I’m constantly taking care of others and neglecting to take any time for myself. In fact, my idea of “pampering” is being able to take a shower that’s longer than two minutes. This floating wine glass is my new favorite thing on earth. The other day I handed my baby to my husband, filled up my tub, and enjoyed a glass of wine IN THE BATH. It was heavenly.

This Dry Texture Spray Is A Lazy Hair Day Lifesaver

  via : Amazon  

I use dry shampoo a lot. In fact, I probably use it more often than actual shampoo. Gross? Maybe. Convenient? Totally. The problem with dry shampoo is it can leave a powdery residue on your hair that doesn’t look cute. This dry oil spray absorbs oil and adds texture without all that white stuff. I recommend it to everyone I know!

This Door Stop Alarm That Helps You Sleep Easy

  via : Amazon  

My job allows me to travel all over the world and work from anywhere, which I take full advantage of. Because I like to travel on a budget, I’ve stayed in some pretty sketchy places. That’s why I always bring this doorstop along with me when I’m on the road. It’s cheap, effective, and gives me major peace of mind when I’m so far away from home.

This Digital Tape Measure That Gives You A VERY Accurate Measurement

  via : Amazon  

I am not a very handy person. Okay, so that’s a huge understatement. I can barely hammer a nail into the wall without creating a huge hole. This is a problem since I now own an extremely old house that’s in a constant state of disrepair. Buying this digital tape measure was me making an effort to be handier, and I feel like it’s already helped a lot.

These Cold Therapy Socks That Send Foot Pain Packing

  via : Amazon  

When I was pregnant, my feet were constantly bothering me. They were sore, swollen, and always burning up.

I just slip them on in the morning, wear them for an hour or two, and I’m oh-so refreshed. No more sore feet!

This Coffee Bean Eye Cream That Wakes Up Your Face

  via : Amazon  

I’m up half the night with my baby, so my undereye circles are the worst they’ve ever been in my life. I tried everything to combat them since I had my son, but nothing worked. Then a fellow Mom friend told me about this coffee bean-infused eye cream and I decided to try it out. I woke up with brighter, clearer eyes and finally looked like I’d gotten more than three hours of sleep. This stuff is a miracle-worker!

This Citrus Zinger Bottle That Adds A Splash Of Flavor To Your Water

  via : Amazon  

I’m completely obsessed with this product. It’s a water bottle with a built-in juicer, which means you can add a splash of fresh lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, or any other type of juice to your water to naturally punch up the flavor. As someone who tends to get bored from plain old water pretty quickly, this thing is right up my alley. I’ve also gotten tons of questions about it while I’m out and about.

This Avoseedo Kit That Allows You To Grow Your Own Avocados

  via : Amazon  

There are two things that you will always find in my house at any given time: avocados and plants. So when I found this avocado growing kit (which combines two of my greatest loves), I knew I had to have it. It’s SO much fun watching it grow, and I can’t wait to eat one that I grew myself. Plus, it’s way easier than I expected and I’ve had it for a week and haven’t killed it yet, so it must be pretty resilient.

This Arctic Flex Ice Pack That Gives You Targeted Relief

  via : Amazon  

My back pain seems to get worse every day, and I was at the end of my rope before I found this Arctic Flex ice pack. No matter how frozen it is it stays flexible, meaning you can put it into whatever position you need to in order to provide targeted relief. I wrap this around my lower back while sitting in my desk chair and feel instantly better. I don’t know how it works but I’m sure glad it does.

This Airtight Cold Brew Maker That Keeps Coffee WAY Fresher

  via : Amazon  

My husband could probably drink ten cups of cold brew per day. He gets some every time we go to the coffee shop, and it’s starting to add up. So, in an effort to save some dough, I bought him this cold brew maker. It’s easy to use, makes a good amount each time, and keeps it fresh for days due to the airtight lid.

This Affordable Tote Bag That’s Seriously Spacious

  via : Amazon  

I love to work in cafes and coffee shops, but lugging my laptop around town can be a pain. That’s why I bought this awesome tote bag. It’s chic, spacious, and surprisingly inexpensive. It can fit my laptop, charger, notebook, phone, and all of my other on-the-go work essentials. It’s only $25.99 but looks like I spent about twice that amount.

This Acupressure Tool That Stops A Headache Before It Starts

I’ve suffered from horrible headaches since I was a teenager, and there are days when they’re so bad that I’m forced to stay in bed for hours.

I love that it’s all-natural and doesn’t require me to take any unnecessary medication.

These Wristbands That Keep You Dry While You Wash Your Face

Here’s something that drives me absolutely crazy: Every time I wash my face my arms get completely soaked. I thought I was the only person who was irked by this until I saw a beauty blogger mention how she wears wristbands every time she washes her face for this exact reason. Weird, right? But then I tried it and it WORKS! These wristbands solve an annoying problem for under $10 bucks.

This Designer Umbrella That Has A Built-In Cup Holder

  via : Amazon  

Where has this thing been all my life? It’s an umbrella that has a cupholder built into the handle. How clever is that?! There’s something so soothing about going for a walk in the rain while sipping on your favorite hot beverage. I used this to walk my dog the other day and it turned into an extremely long walk. I actually look forward to rainy days now!

This Cocktail Recipe Book That Will Make You Feel Fancy AF

  via : Amazon  


I love a good cocktail. In fact, my favorite thing used to be going out to a fancy bar with my husband and ordering one (or two) of the most ridiculous-looking cocktails. This, of course, was before we had our son, who makes it difficult to leave the house at all.

This Tea Timer That Every Tea Fanatic Needs

  via : Amazon  

During my pregnancy, I switched out my daily cup of Joe for a mug of tea, and although it was a (very) difficult transition, it stuck.

A thoughtful friend gave me this adorable timer, which tells you exactly how long to steep various types of tea for the perfect cup every time.

These Squeezable Dressing Containers That Upgrade Your On-The-Go Salads

  via : Amazon  

My husband and I made a new year’s resolution to eat healthier, and, to be honest, it’s been a struggle. But one thing we’ve been able to stick to is eating a salad for lunch every day. And while it’s easy for me to throw one together at home, it’s a bit more difficult for him, since salads often get soggy if you pre-dress them. These little salad dressing bottles are totally ingenious.
