27 Easy Tips To Help You Look More Polished

Here's a foolproof mathematical equation: tank or tee + wide-leg trouser = a chic everyday uniform. These are available in a slew of neutral colors (think: black, white, navy, dark green). And not only do these look chic, but they're a far cry in comfort from the stiff denim you're typically reaching for. Promising review: "These have been my go-to pants since I received them! They look quite chic and tasteful. Love." —Vignesh n. Get them from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS–XL, in long and short lengths, and in seven colors). Reduce all-day frizz with a dime-sized amount of Mise En Scene PerfectSerum, which contains seven natural oils (argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia) that can be applied to damp hair pre- or post-blowout. Vacuum up grease because tbqh, it's been 84 years since your last proper shampoo, I Dew Care dry shampoo. An effective trio of biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder comes in genius packaging — a small container with an attached puff for application that's as easy as dab, dab, dab. Pro tip: Apply just a bit of product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to a sheen of white residue. Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $18. Condense your entire morning makeup routine with Maybelline Dream BB Cream, which hydrates, blurs pores, and evens out your overall complexion in a pinch (no more "did I blend evenly?" panic required). It also contains broad-spectrum SPF 30, i.e., you can rush out of the house knowing your complexion is simultaneously looking fresh *and* being protected. This lightweight product is great for normal and dry complexions, but may not be the perfect fit for oily review: "So happy I finally found something that covers my rosy cheeks, blemishes, and large pores. I have combination skin: an oily T-zone but overall dry skin, and it works for my skin. The best part is that it has SPF 30 in it. My dermatologist does not stop stressing the importance of daily use of SPF on the face, so now I'm happy I can still cover up my pimples and protect my skin from harsh UV rays from the sun. It doesn't feel heavy on my face and doesn't make it look like I caked on a pound of foundation. I have used it for about three weeks already and have not noticed an increase in pimples or skin irritation." —DavisGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Add Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 to your morning routine for an immediately brightened complexion. It contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide for a glow and light coverage. Lit-from-within radiance *and* sun protection in one swipe? Perfection. Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it love it love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes and four shades). No time? No problem. Opt for this matching linen set, which looks like it was plucked from the set of a film where the main character has a terrible boss but a fabulous job in publishing. Please tell me that you know what I mean. Promising review: "Love this more than I anticipated. I'm very picky and usually only shop for clothing at Nordstrom, Neiman, or other boutique brands, and for the price, this is 100% worth it. It's lined, and the quality is great. Will be buying again." —Valerie R. Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 17 colors). Achieve the perfect wing in *seconds* with this dual-sided eyeliner stamp. All you'll have to do is apply the stamp to your lashline, press down onto your skin, and a pristine cat eye will be yours in mere seconds. Promising review: "Okay, so I am as shaky as shakey gets when it comes to putting eyeliner this is a miracle sent from above! It honestly is the most amazing eye makeup product I own at the moment. It is as easy as it sounds. Literally. I like that it is double-ended and you have two pens: one for the left eye and one for the right. The opposite end on both is just every day liquid liner pen, but it goes on soooo much smoother than any other liquid liner I've tried or owned." —Heather OlsonGet it from Amazon for $15.97 (available in two colors). Pair a plain tank with lightweight linen pants that won't have you stewing in your own sweat. These are available in neutral hues, so they're easy to pair with any top in your wardrobe. Romanticize errands by way of swapping leggings for this tiered maxi skirt. Repeat after me: tank, sandals, this skirt. Promising review: "I live in these skirts!! This is the third one I've bought, each one a different color, and I can be sure that I will be buying more. I literally live in these skirts nearly every day. They are so easy to dress up, wear casually, or dress them up for cosplay!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 17 colors). Get glossy, frizz-free curls on second-day (or third or fourth or tenth) hair with Cake Beauty The Curl Friend Defining Cream. A blend of shea butter and lightweight natural oils provides a ton of moisture but thankfully none of the weigh-down. Promising review: "This is the most reasonably priced curly hair product I've found. I originally got a little tube from my Ipsy order, and I liked it so much, I came to Amazon to order a full-sized bottle. It doesn't make my hair crunchy or greasy, even if I accidentally put too much on. My curls look natural and bouncy after using my diffuser, and even when I let my hair air dry, this gives my curls a little extra form and structure to look like I actually did something to my hair." —sbgoodgirl Get it from Amazon for $10.99. Trade your pajamas for an equally comfy (and errand-appropriate) lounge set. This one is made with a cozy waffle-knit material, ironic considering you'll adore this two-piece just as much as the doughy, syrup-drenched breakfast dessert. Promising review: "This is such a comfortable and good-looking set. It looks much more put together than Pajamas, yet it's great to wear at home or even run errands in. It's a nice color and looks great with the buttons on the front." —Mom to two girlsGet it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors). And opt for nonconstrictive support with a Hanes wire-free bra — it's designed with a second skin feel that's so comfortable, it *will* be worn all the time. Willingly. Like, you will actually want to wear this. Promising review: "I haven't worn another bra since I got this and I'm gonna buy, like, five more. I am a 34F/G and I've never found any bralette that fits me (always either too big in the band or too small in the cup). I got a medium and I'm SHOCKED to report that not only do my girls actually fit inside (the fabric has a lot of stretch), but it actually holds them up pretty well." —Lily HoushGet it from Amazon for $15.54+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and four colors). Upgrade your WFH wardrobe with an elevated cropped tank, one that has been blessed by a stylish fairy godmother. Why? This takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color and as soon as I tried it on I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn't have a built-in bra, but it's lined. You could put on a bra with this if you'd like but there's no need. It's cropped but still long enough that it doesn't roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I'll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it's just that incredible." —DanijtateGet it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors). Rely on this gel lint roller so that you don't show up to that business meeting with a black blazer covered in pet fur. Bonus points: this one is portable so you can carry it in your purse. Sleep with this curling rod headband and wake up to flawless beach waves — no hot tools or arm strength required. Simply wrap damp locks around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and snooze the night away. Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp wet hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair like me. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all) and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —KaitlinGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). Quickly touch up your brows with a Schick dermaplaning razor, a tool sent from heaven for people who are done with the pains of plucking and the expense of waxing. This quickly rids stray brow hairs and unwanted peach fuzz (while ridding your complexion of dead skin to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion), that way you know you're beginning the day with perfectly-groomed facial caterpillars that only took three seconds to tame. And don't panic! This tool is super gentle, so you don't have to worry about accidental nicks and scrapes. Promising review: "This is a 100% painless and incredibly easy alternative to waxing or plucking. A few quick swipes gets rid of peach fuzz and I never have to worry about breaking out because of it. Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.99. Obtain the ballerina bun of your dreams by way of these Goody spin hair pins — just one pin can do the work of up to *20* hair pins. How does it work, you ask? Just secure your hair into a ponytail, pull it into a super tight bun, spin the pins into place, and BAM! You've got yourself the perfect updo. Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.95. Running errands? Or I guess, well, actually running? May we present the tennis dress, a put-together upgrade to the leggings you usually wear. This was described by one reviewer as being "perfect for a hot day" which is music to the ears of anyone who is perpetually sweaty. Promising review: "It's been feeling like 100 degrees this summer, and when I have to run errands, I don't want to be dripping sweat in a bra, shirt, AND shorts. I love this because everything is built-in, the bra, shorts, and the dress are so cute! Keeps me cool and I feel confident in it! Perfect for a hot day." —JessGet it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors). Bliss = being able to remove the plastered pet fur on your black leggings within seconds. Pick up every speck of gunk that's attached itself to your clothing via this lint remover, a beast at making plain black tees look crisp and straight out of the dryer. Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-lb tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing–he never stops shedding, no matter what I do. After using this, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —DH Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). Nip brassiness in the bud when you can't make it to the salon via Fanola No Yellow Purple Shampoo. The violet pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits— and SAVE A TON OF MONEY. Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews but I RAVE about this shampoo to every blonde I meet! No other purple shampoo could EVER compare to Fanola! I prefer an 'icy blonde' look and I couldn't be happier with the results I get every time I use this. If you have blonde hair, BUY this NOW! You won't regret it! I recently added some highlights and bleached my roots, and after only two weeks of getting it done, it turned so yellow and I hated it. This was the difference after ONE wash! No bleach, no toner, just Fanola! Worth EVERY penny!!" —Camryn it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes). I think I speak for all of us when I say blessed be the TikTok. Try out these simple hacks to instantly upgrade your 'fit. Example one: Tuck an oversized sweatshirt into a sports bra for a chic cropped silhouette.

Not to be dramatic, but these clips will change your life when you're in a rush (which is always), not to mention these will make any ensemble will look 10x more crisp without colorful straps peeking through. Promising review: "My bra straps spend more time off my shoulders than on — but NOT ANYMORE. I was hoping something like this existed and when I found it, I was so happy. They're as glorious as I expected them to be. These are life-changing." —Amanda Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97 (available in seven colors). Tame baby hairs in a jiffy with this plant-based gel cream, which ought to help those pesky flyaways that no amount of brushing can get rid of. The best part? This formula is non-greasy, completely transparent, the mascara wand makes it super easy to apply, and will make your 'do look more polished with basically no effort required. Promising review: "I have super fine hair with lots of breakage and no matter how I put my hair up, I have bad fly aways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hair spray." —Jill Stilfield Get it from Amazon for $5.59. Or! Try an An edge control gel to help lay your edges and slick back baby hairs with just a few flicks of product. Major bonus points: It won't flake or leave behind any residue, which is *heart eyes* the definition of perfection in our book. BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out, "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and nongreasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" —Seabea2013Get it from Amazon for $6.11+ (available in five sizes). Quickly cover up grays (if you want to!) with L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Concealer Spray. Consider this the concealer of your haircare routine, using a lightweight formula to hide silver strands with no smudging or sticky residue. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! Like magic. I thought I'd give it a try as I usually use a powder with a brush to cover up my grays in between coloring, but this stuff... omg! Sprays right on and looks so dang natural. This takes care of covering up grays in between coloring in a cinch." —PinkTears Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in 11 colors). Replace leggings with linen pants, a happy medium for looking like you tried without compromising comfort.

31 Products You'll Never Want To Travel Without

A *mini* Kindle because knowing that this lightweight guy holds thousands of books, has a battery life of up to six weeks, AND has a glare-free screen makes you wonder why you ever let books take up so much space in your carry-on. Now you can tackle your "to be read" list without sacrificing precious suitcase space! An airplane seat back organizer — if you've ever tried squeezing a full-size water bottle in the seat back pocket, you know the struggle. With these many pockets, you can keep snacks, water, and your phone all in a secure spot without having to annoy your seatmates when you get up for the fifth time to get something from the overhead bin. Plus, a drink holder for all you window seat lovers who want to utilize every inch of space possible when you're on a flight, no matter how long or short it is. Those too-tiny tray tables never have enough room, but this thing can hold your drinks and other things, like your phone or glasses! A universal travel adapter perfect for international travelers who always find a way to make it to multiple countries with different plug types. This is designed to work in 160 countries and it lets you plug up to five devices at once. A set of silicone "EarPlanes" for those who are tired of always having to deal with the annoying pressure in their ears felt during takeoff and landing. No more constant gum chewing, ear tugging, or yawning to get rid of that "popping" feeling. AND, they'll even work for road trips with high altitude changes. A 4-in-1 makeup brush set that saves so much room in your makeup bag because it's only the size of ONE brush. You get a foundation, eye shadow, concealer, AND powder brush! Any wannabe makeup artists on the go, this one's for you. An eight-compartment pill organizer so you don't have to take up room in your toiletry bag with all your important medications. This compact little guy is great for travel, and some have even used the empty compartments to store smaller items like jewelry! An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter, because that time you had to suffer through that long flight without using your fancy-schmancy earbuds was brutal, and you'd like to never do that again. This allows you to connect via Bluetooth and prevents you from having to settle for those uncomfortable plastic earbuds. A 2-in-1 straightener and curling iron — a must-have if you're all about a multifunctional tool that doesn't take up a lot of room in your carry-on. This is also dual voltage, which is so handy when traveling internationally. A simple luggage strap so your travel pillow, jacket, or personal item has a designated place, other than being flailed over your arm while you're trying to juggle your plane ticket and all those airport snacks you bought from the Hudson News kiosks. A trifold travel wallet that keeps all your important documents in one secure, RFID-blocking place. Now you'll never be the one rooting through your bag in front of the TSA agent or gate agent when it's finally time to show your passport and boarding pass. An electronics organizer with different compartments for your cords, charging blocks, and portable chargers. If you're guilty of leaving charging cords tangled at the bottom of your bag, this is going to be a lifesaver for your travel game. A bendy travel pillow for window seat lovers who need a soft place for their head, because the side of the plane is just not cutting it. This twists in different ways, so you can get comfortable and not wake up from your nap with a twist in your neck. Or a Trtl travel pillow because you somehow always get stuck in the middle seat, and you want something that will actually support your head during the flight. The internal support system keeps you upright, while the super soft fleece helps you get in those well-deserved Zs. A collapsible silicone water bottle to save you from purchasing an "I can't believe this is $7" plastic water bottle at the airport or the only one-off store after your long hike in the mountains. This is refillable and rolls up to be super compact when you're done sipping. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because the thought of a spilled macchiato on the airport floor right before you're trying to make it to your gate is not how you want to start the vacation of your dreams. Keep your drink (and snacks) hands-free and make your travel day just a teeny bit more hassle-free. An on-the-go Gillette razor that proves that all the best things in life come in small packages. This five-blade razor saves space and saves you from using those cheap disposable razors that just don't step up to the plate. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount because I simply cannot get over that some airlines don't have screens!!! Just because you're taking a Hopper flight doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy those 40 minutes of Jane the Virgin. Clip this onto the tray table or even your luggage to heal your inner iPad kid. A packing list pad to help remind you of all the things you'll need for your trip, because we've all somehow ended up forgetting even the most basic of items like toothpaste and extra underwear. A Beis backpack that will put all your other past bags you used for your personal item to shame. It looks like a regular old backpack but has all-around zipping so you can open it up like a mini suitcase. This has sooo many pockets, padded straps, and a space for your water bottle, too. An adjustable universal travel harness seat to make traveling with a little one just a tad bit easier, since it magically converts pretty much any regular chair into a secure high chair. You'll find that this thing is so handy that you'll be wondering why you didn't get this sooner. A 3-in-1 foldable wireless charging pad that charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. You can stay organized by getting rid of tangled cords *and* the high-quality magnets in the pad make sure your items don't slip away. And when folded up, it easily fits into your pocket. A pack of LeakLocks Toiletry Skins — yeah, they might look like a funny-looking sock over your shampoo and face wash, but what you won't find funny is a big ol' liquid mess in your suitcase. These fit full-size and travel-size toiletries and prevent those cute white jeans from being stained with your purple shampoo. A digital luggage scale, a beacon of hope for the over-packer, the shopaholic, and the just-in-case suitcase stuffer. Don't make it hard on yourself, and play the guessing game of how much your bag weighs. Reviewers say the scale is easy to use and pretty darn close to the scales at the airport. A travel-friendly blanket-slash-pillow for those who wish they could personally ask the pilot to turn down the freaking AC on the plane. This is a BIG step above the thin fabric that the airlines call a blanket since it's made from super soft microfleece, AND it even has a trolley pass-through pocket so you can slide it over your carry-on. A combination 3D eye mask/travel pillow that straps onto the headrest so you can get some rest without doing the whole bobblehead act and jerking yourself out of a deep sleep. You'll be feeling like a certified genius for adding this to your travel arsenal. Or a cooling, memory foam contoured sleep mask for when all you wanna do is catch some Zs on your flight, but your neighbor with a reading light or open window has other ideas. 🙄 This puts no pressure on your eyes and completely blocks out light while still allowing you to freely blink so that you can get some beauty sleep before you land! A Pashmina scarf that's basically a 4-in-1 since it can be used as a comfy blanket or pillow, a scarf or wrap while you're out and about, and even as a shield to protect yourself from the sun since it's got UPF 50+ protection! A travel jewelry case because you're tired of untangling that giant knot that your necklaces, bracelets, and rings got themselves into. No more throwing your jewelry into a sandwich bag or in your toiletry bag when this keeps them neatly organized. And the Ring Thing — a waterproof holder that keeps your rings in a secure place whenever you don't feel like wearing them. This tightly clips onto your bag or reusable water bottle, and just like that, your most precious jewelry is safe and sound. A Tushbaby carrier since your little one is always wanting "uppies" and you might not always have a stroller on every adventure during your trip. This wraps around your waist and supports your kid to ease the weight on your back and arms. It even has extra pockets for diapers, bottles, and your phone!

30 Easy Ways To Look More Polished And Put-Together

Set alarms to make sure you're sticking to a schedule! This is especially great at forcing you to sign on *and* off at the proper times whilst working from home — it can be easy to chip in longer hours when you're not commuting ("I'm going to get a head start," I've often said at 7 a.m.), but setting a strict schedule will help you set boundaries and get more done. And in the same vein, turn off Slack and email notifications when your hours are done. It becomes too tempting to just "answer one more email," which makes the separation between work and leisure time even more this hack is applicable for any task — whether it's for allotting screen time or reminding yourself that the laundry needs to be folded. Here's a foolproof mathematical equation: tank or tee + wide-leg trouser = a chic everyday uniform. These are available in a slew of neutral colors (think: black, white, navy, dark green). And not only do these look chic, but they're a far cry in comfort from the stiff denim you're typically reaching for. Promising review: "These have been my go-to pants since I received them! They look quite chic and tasteful. Love." —Vignesh n. Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, in long and short lengths, and in 31 colors). Swap flip-flops for knit flats and et voilà, you're office ready. Bonus points: these can be tossed in the wash when they need a good cleaning, and they'll emerge looking brand-spankin' new. Plus, for anyone traveling this summer, he flexible knit fabric means they're easy to pack in a cramped carry-on.

Vacuum up grease because, tbqh, it's been 84 years since your last proper shampoo, I Dew Care dry shampoo. An effective trio of biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder comes in genius packaging — a small container with an attached puff for application that's as easy as dab, dab, dab. Pro tip: Apply just a bit of product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to a sheen of white residue. Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $18.

You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair like mine. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —KaitlinGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors). Writing down the day's tasks at the top of the morning will help organize your thoughts.

This set will be my motivation. Promising review: "I love this set, it's so versatile. You can wear the pieces separately or together and dress them up or down. I loved the set so much that I got both navy blue and army green, and they mix and match perfectly. JUST GET IT!!!" —Kristine it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X and in 21 colors).

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors packs).

It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick), and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique FrenchGet it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in six shades).

This no-rinse product should be used weekly to keep your shower free of mildew, which basically means it will take all of two seconds to feel like you've deep-cleaned the place in which you bathe. Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a longish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie MartinGet it from Amazon for $20.98.

Lit-from-within radiance *and* sun protection in one swipe? Perfection. Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it love it love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes/quantities). Running errands? Or I guess, well, actually running?

Promising review: "It's been feeling like 100 degrees this summer, and when I have to run errands, I don't want to be dripping sweat in a bra, shirt, AND shorts.

Perfect for a hot day." —JessGet it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors). Cackle in the face of coffee rings by way of a reversible waterproof desk mat — because if you don't have a space large enough to accommodate a fancy WFH set-up? Well, same. But slapping this bebe on your living room coffee table at least gives the *feeling* of typing away at a genuine office desk. Promising review: "I'm an art teacher, and working from home during the coronavirus outbreak was going to put a lot of strain on my wood desk (which I keep mostly for show but now am forced to use for work). I ordered this desk pad because mint green is my favorite color, and I wanted something to protect my desk from paint and other art supplies. It arrived today, and it was so cute! It's exactly what I wanted. It's thin enough not to add too much bulk to the desk, the color is so fun, and it wipes off easily. I love that it's reversible, too, so I'll probably use one side for making tutorial videos for my classes and the other for when I'm painting. I was worried that it wouldn't lie flat because it came rolled up, but it lay flat immediately. And it came with a cute little belt in case I need to roll it back up again and store it!" —Jill SGet it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in two colors).

Pick up every speck of gunk that's attached itself to your clothing via this lint remover, a beast at making plain black tees look crisp and straight out of the dryer. Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding, no matter what I do. After using this, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). Another way to ensure a quick breakfast (unlike those irksome TV characters who have a bite of toast and say "gotta run" to the parent who has just prepared a gourmet meal)? Prepping frozen fruit every Sunday — just measure ingredients, pop 'em in a reusable Stasher bag, and store in your freezer! These smoothie recipes are delicious, simple, and will take no more than a few minutes to prepare. Promising review: "I've been needing a container to hold my prepped smoothies in the freezer and this is the perfect solution. I avoid plastic, so this is a great substitution.

Happy with this purchase." —Anna Young Get the Stasher bags from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in multiple colors and sizes). To learn more, check out "12 Ways To Make Healthy Smoothies."

Nip brassiness in the bud with a cult-favorite Fanola purple shampoo. The violet pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits — and the benefits of that are two-fold. You'll save a ton of money on appointments, plus won't have to subject your hair to additional bleaches and dye that will (I'm sorry to tell you this) cause additional damage. Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair gains brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair even if I leave them on for an hour. I normally have to dilute violet direct dyes to make a dent in my brass. It's nice to not have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its stuff. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $17.24.

Promising review: "My bra straps spend more time off my shoulders than on — but NOT ANYMORE. I was hoping something like this existed and when I found it, I was so happy. They're as glorious as I expected them to be. These are life-changing." —Amanda Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97 (available in six colors).
