To quote Snoop Dogg, future you will be like: "I want to thank me for believing in myself, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work."
1. A pair of high-waisted ~DreamLux~ leggings that reviewers compare to the more expensive Lululemon Align ones because of their similar buttery-soft feel and moisture-wicking design! And just think — if you opt for several pairs, you'll always have the perfect bottoms for lounging, light workouts, and running errands. You might need to pat yourself on the back for scoring 'em at this price!
Amazon
Promising reviews:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson
"I was so surprised by how amazing these leggings are. They feel exactly like Lululemon Align. They are so soft. I am buying every color!" — Kena T.
Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles).
2. The no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner — simply spray down your shower and rinse it 8–12 hours later (definitely before your next shower) to get rid of soap scum and mildew taking over your tub or shower stall! Work smarter, not harder.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
3. A sleek, space-saving leaning ladder, so all of your blankets and towels have somewhere to go instead of being tossed all over your furniture.

Now, my tiny bedroom looks a little more polished because I have eliminated the not-quite-dirty-clothes pile-on-the-chair-or-floor, and instead have this stylish ladder where I can neatly hang my clothes...and it looks lovely. It literally took a little anxiety away." — Dee Em Vee
Get it from Amazon for $58.80+ (available in three colors).

I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT

Promising review:"I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." — Romario
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes).
9. An "Everyday Mindfulness"-themed word search book with 84 fill-in-the-blank puzzles, anagram searches, and more to help keep you relaxed and busy without doom-scrolling through your phone (which these days is quite the opposite of relaxing!).
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for! It lays flat to easily complete the word search and not have to fight with the book. There are different types of puzzles, and some have extra secret searches! It's great for the slow days at work!! I will definitely be buying more of these word searches!" — Roy H Hahn
Get it from Amazon for $11.68.
10. A migraine relief cap for when a headache or migraine is trying to kill all the good vibes. Pop it in the freezer and pull it over your throbbing temples like a headband *or* all the way over your eyes to block out the light.

TheraICE is a small business offering a range of products design to help relive pain through compression and hot and cold therapy.
Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam
Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in six colors and two-packs).
11. Orrrrr a heated eye massager featuring five massage modes, Bluetooth music capability, vibration, and heat cycles, with a 15-minute timer for each, so you don't even have to worry about pressing a button to turn it off. Seriously, I own this and it has been a LIFESAVER when it comes to dealing with migraines, headaches, and eye strain after hours of screen time. It's worth the splurge to just enjoy 15 minutes of pure bliss and be whisked off into a world of soothing sounds and a massage that hits your temple just right.
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in three colors).
12. A glasses lens cleaner with a dual-sided design featuring a small brush for removing dirt/dust on one side and a microfiber pad on the other to wipe away oils and smears with a streak-free finish. It's gentle enough not to scratch your lenses and even includes a convenient case to keep it clean between uses. You'll be oh-so-grateful that your past self put one of these in your bag or desk drawer, so you can clean your glasses whenever things are looking a little...foggy.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 17 styles and multipacks).
13. A retinol body lotion featuring a blend of skin-loving ingredients including vitamin A and E, shea butter, green tea, and aloe vera to help keep your skin moisturized and hydrated while also reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, aging skin, and even sun damage!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTockAlice
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack).
14. An internet-famous pink cleaning paste to help you tackle the most difficult of messes in your home, from a permanent marker art piece on your wall to scuffs on your brand-new sneakers. It removes gunk and grossness with a minimal amount of elbow grease, winning the loyalty of its TikTok fanbase and hundreds of thousands of positive reviews.
www.amazon.com
A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Using it is simple: apply the paste to the dirty surface with a cloth or damp sponge, scrub at the stain, and then rinse it all away with hot water!
Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" — May
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
15. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo featuring a blend of botanical extracts to help thicken the appearance of your lovely tresses. Plus, since it's a clarifying shampoo, it also gets rid of product buildup on your scalp. Imagine how good future you will feel showing off your scalp and hairline, knowing it's giving Rapunzel and not Rumplestiltskin!
www.amazon.com
Some reviewers even recommend pairing this shampoo with a scalp massager to really work it into your roots! Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Maple Holistics is a small biz offering unique beauty products created with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and two scents).
16. A styling station that's designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh to safely store all your hot tools, even if you have to rush out of the house. You'll bring a lot of relief to your future self when you're not randomly panic-slash-wondering if you left your straightener on and sitting on the countertop. 😅
Amazon
Plus, it conveniently hangs on your towel rack!
Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer
17. A top-rated, no scrub mold and mildew stain remover — it removes gross-looking stains from grout and caulk in your bathroom overnight (over 7,500 reviewers have given it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Tackling those stubborn, persistent, revolting spots isn't an impossible task anymore, and you can avoid breaking the bank for someone else to re-caulk your bathroom!
Promising review:"Didn't think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn't think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn't quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." — thekuan
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
18. An adjustable cabinet door organizer and towel rack duo with a hanging basket to store your foil, storage bags, cutting boards, and more on the interior of your cabinet. (Hellooooo vertical storage!) The other side features a dual hanging rack to keep your hand towels and pot holders within reach!
Promising reviews:"This works great for my little kitchen. I put cutting boards and smaller cookie sheets in one, and baggies of all sizes in the other. Easy extra space." — keldasings
"I absolutely love this cutting board organizer! This holds all of my cutting boards with more than enough room and even makes for cute decor in the kitchen with the external towel racks. The height of the basket is adjustable which helps make it easier to fit in a variety of different spaces! I may buy another one for cookbooks. :)" — Carly Mabli
Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99.
19. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, which is formulated with THREE different kinds of hyaluronic acid for plumping, caffeine, and antioxidant-rich yerba mate to help protect the skin. This cult favorite is under $10 *and* practically witchcraft for how well it minimizes swelling and puffiness. The morning-after-you would kiss the ground you walk on for having this in your purse, beauty cabinet, or vanity drawer after a long night in a TikTok rabbit hole!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Caffeine can brighten skin if that's something you're looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith
"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
20. A pack of foil liners for catching broken pasta noodles, oil drips, and boiling over water that *somehow* find their way outside of the pot. They'll help keep your stove top cleaner (or at least easier to clean) and if they start looking gross, just toss and replace!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
21. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges, which are designed to fit perfectly underneath the coiled burner. With this, you won't have to buy a specially-sized tool to scrub away spills, splatters, or other messes that slink their way down there!
Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
22. A storage strip with four hooks and four hanging slots to vertically store your brooms, mops, dustpans, and other cleaning tools in order to free up closet and cabinet space. It's possible the future version of yourself might clean more knowing the tools are easier to access... but only time will tell!
Promising review:"Installation was simple and the organizer keeps everything securely in place. The wall mount feature saves floor space. The cleaning tool organizer has significantly improved my cleaning routine. It is functional, durable, and helps maintain an organized space. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their supplies in order." — Yuly
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors).
23. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars boasting a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots wherever you want to.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." — Adrienne Jerkins
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various pack sizes and bundles).
24. A rotating utensil holder because it's a billion times easier to make your own meals when you can grab the tools you need without going through every cabinet and drawer in the kitchen. This rotating canister can hold around 15 large utensils, so who knows? You may end up a Gordon Ramsay–level home cook by the end of the year just by better organizing your kitchen!
Promising review:"I cook a LOT. I had a utensil holder, but it wasn't big enough so it was hard to slide the utensils in — and if it was semi-empty, they were tilting and falling. I threw it away and used a drawer but then was super sick of digging through everything to get what I needed, especially when you have something on the stove and you need it pronto. I ordered this and love it. It rotates so you can spin it around to get what you need really quickly, has three dividers in it (so the utensils aren't falling over every time you pull one out), and is big enough to fit everything. I have maxed it out with all my utensils — I have 16 cooking utensils in it at a time. It also looks really nice and sleek on the counter. I highly recommend this product." — Jessie
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
25. A weekend-ready duffel bag that's water-resistant, durable, and features a back panel for looping through your carry-on handle. And the super roomy interior even has a pocket designed for carrying wet clothes or toiletries. Time for a road trip!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I recently went camping and was able to pack a lot into this bag. It zipped up easily. I love the color, it's almost a 'neutral pink' and not too 'look at me, I'm Barbie in the woods!' The shoulder strap was comfortable, and the handles were comfortable, too. It was snowing while unloading from the truck to the cabin, and despite this bag getting wet (and VERY cold), everything inside was very dry." — Smile Saurus
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and two sizes).
26. A hydrating Cosrx repairing essence, a top-rated serum made up of 96.3% snail secretion for a lightweight formula that helps hydrate and restore dry, dull skin, leaving you with a glowing complexion. Whoever thought about adopting a snail's skincare "secret" might actually be a genius.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
New to essences? Try applying this after cleansing but before your moisturizer. Applying it to clean skin and under you moisturizer will help lock in all that snail mucin goodness!
Promising review:"This is a product that works for anybody! I apply it once I have washed my face on damp skin. It can be slightly slimy, once again it is snail mucin, but you only really feel it when you apply it to dry skin. I usually allow it to dry for a bit until it becomes slightly tacky before I put a moisturizer on. I have combination skin. My forehead and chin tend to be oilly but my cheeks dry and this has really evened that out. I really recommend this because it isn't harsh to the skin and perfect for beginners." — Nelita Henry
Get it from Amazon for $18.49.
27. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads designed to kill bacteria and viruses lurking on the inside of your porcelain throne. Simply pop on one of the refill sponge heads, scrub the inside of the bowl, and then throw it away! Cleaning the toilet *literally* couldn't be simpler.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kit includes a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy that sits right next to toilet! The wand is easy to use and has a button to pop the used sponge head off, so you don't have to touch it — and the sponge heads are even designed specifically to fit under the rim of your toilet!
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
28. The best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin. Plus, the ah-may-zing creamy scent of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla? Don't be surprised if you receive a telegram from future you in the summer applauding all the TLC you put in!
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub).
29. A set of heat-resistant oven liners to catch food drippings and spills when your pies and casseroles bubble over while baking. And you can easily wash them by hand or in the dishwasher whenever necessary!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The liners can be cut to size to ensure the perfect fit!
Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Lakeisland Girl
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $16.99.
30. A Pikk-it tool specifically designed to remove hair that's tangled in the vacuum head and make it work less than optimally. You think your fingers can reach all the hair in there, but this nifty tool will prove you wrong and get it *real* clean!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
31. A slicker brush to help remove matting and clumps of fabric, so your sheepskin rug looks and feels as expensive as the price tag it came with. If you own anything fleece or plush and want to return it back to its original condition (or close), then you absolutely need this!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
32. A pair of seamless and reusable Nippies, which allow you to wear your favorite tops and dresses without worrying about stubborn bra straps or nipples showing through. The reviewers who swear by these are screaming "Fuuuuuuutuuuuuuure" at how well they stay put for hours and restick through repeated uses!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
Promising review: "I've tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don't move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It's magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I've got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I'm suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it's minimal. They're more pricey than others I've bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" — Alison
Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades and three sizes: one that fits cups A–C, one that fits cups D+, and another that first cups DD+; also available with or without lift).
33. A super long duster, so you can finally reach ridiculously high ceiling fans, light fixtures, or far enough back underneath your couch or credenza for a proper clean! Banish all that dust and grime on your surfaces and vents with barely any effort...and possibly even while sitting on the couch since it can extend over 8 feet.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BTW, the microfiber head can be removed and cleaned in the washing machine!
Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments).
34. A gross but oh-so-satisfying exfoliating foot mask — these booties are created with a fruit acid formula and sixteen other natural plant and fruit extracts that penetrate deep into the skin during an hour-long soak. Within five to seven days, all the dead skin will begin peeling and flaking from your feet to reveal that fresh-as-a-newborn-baby skin! The version of you that gets to rock sandals and open-toed pumps all summer will definitely be thanking present-day you for purchasing a pair of these!

Promising review:"My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn't burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It's REALLY gross looking, so make sure you don't need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it's totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I've recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." — Mostly Maven

35. A very viral veggie chopper that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. It comes with four interchangeable dice blades — two chopping blades and two spiralizers — and a built-in storage container that you can use to prep and store food! The version of you that has to cook after a long day at work will be oh-so-grateful when meal prep takes minutes and not hours. 😮‍💨
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The 4-in-1 version includes two chopping blades (one for small cubes and one for larger cubes), two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter), a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers (all of which are dishwasher safe!). The lid is designed with a built-in chopper and fits the storage container, so it all drops inside after prepping!

Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in four styles and five colors).
36. A pomade hair wax stick to tame flyaways, stubborn curls, and other wild tresses with a simple swipe and brush! It delivers instant hold without leaving any greasy residue or glaring shine, and it conveniently fits in your purse, too.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a timesaver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
"I have 4a–4b curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others which to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways however were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
37. A bottle of no-scrub, no-rinse, nontoxic Folex spot remover that effectively removes stains like yellow mustard grease drippings from your favorite takeout, ink, makeup after a hard nap, muddy paw prints, and sooooo much more from pretty much any fabric surface. The next time you spill red wine on the couch because of a White Lotus plot twist? You won't have to panic over how to clean it!
www.amazon.com
In order to use this no-scrub product, all you have to do is apply it to the stain, gently rub it in (it's safe for humans and pets), and then blot with a cloth. It may take a couple of rounds, but you'll definitely see the mess disappear in no time! Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action!
Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks).
38. A root touchup powder you can apply directly on your gray hairs to make them ✨ disappear ✨ or along your hairline for a fuller appearance. This will become your best-kept beauty secret, just like the other over 16,000 customers who rated it 5 stars!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Of course, gray hair can be stunning (hello, Storm?!), so don't feel pressured to cover up your gorgeous silver strands!

Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." — Amazon Customer
"LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." — Catie B.
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

36 Etsy Things Your Friends Will Also Want

An acrylic sun catcher so mesmerizing, I wish I could crawl inside of it and pretend I'm in a scene from Beauty and the Beast.

It comes in over 70 (!) delightful scents *and* it comes in a recyclable jar! A tufted floor cushion so you can turn any corner of your tiny apartment into a good space to curl up and watch your comfort show. (The Office, anyone?) Your bestie will also appreciate it during a much-needed sleepover. A personalized jewelry box if you want to stop throwing your shiny accessories into plastic zipper bags and having them come out all tangled afterward. This can easily fit in your carry-on without taking up too much space. And not only is it perfect for your travel needs, but it also works wonderfully for bridesmaids' gifts or as a simple thank-you gift! A chic coffee cup holder because the phrase "I've always got my hands full" applies both literally and figuratively. This helpful little thing lets you easily carry your Starbucks with you while you answer work emails and *most importantly* look at the latest TikTok your bestie just sent you. A book tracker bookmark — not only does it help you keep track of where you are in your current read, but it also serves as an adorable way to show your book history by letting you color and write in the titles you've read so far. Plus, you'll finally be able to stop subjecting your book to the dreaded dog ears. And a bookshelf street sign to transform your beloved book corner into its own little world. It's available in options like Romance Rd, Horrow Hwy, and as a custom sign! (I'll be getting "TBR Rd," because I def buy books faster than I read them. 🫠) A 100% natural oven scrub made of pumice powder and essential oils that give it deep-cleaning powers free of harsh fumes while leaving a light, fresh scent. This might just make you excited to clean the oven. (Can you imagine?) A fresh eucalyptus bundle because there are few things in life that feel better than being embraced with eucalyptus's fresh, soothing scent. The bundle is infused with essential oils that are released by the steam of your shower and add a tranquil, botanical aesthetic! Until further notice, you'll find me here. Or a set of shower steamers if you want to take your shower experience to the zen level. These are handmade with essential oils and Epsom salt and come in delightful scents such as lavender, grapefruit, and eucalyptus. An adorable crocheted mushroom crossbody bag, which reviewers say is roomier than it looks! No outfit will ever be boring with this little guy as your accessory. A powerful hair growth treatment so you can achieve the lengthy locks of your dreams. It's made with natural ingredients like black castor oil, rosemary, peppermint, herbs, cloves, and essential oil blends. Plus, reviewers mention that they *love* the smell! A plush potted tulip plant you'll adore because it'll brighten up your space — and you won't even need to lift a finger to keep it alive! In my humble opinion, that's the best part. And a fan-favorite Highland cow plush — careful, your guests might want to kidnap this lil' cutie. And how can you blame them? It's so cuuuuute!!! A scratch-off world map, which serves as a fun (and pretty!) way of showcasing all the places you've traveled to. Scratch off the silver foil layer to reveal the beautiful watercolor underneath. Reviewers also say it works perfectly as a housewarming gift! A crystal-infused organic facial serum designed for anyone who wants a bit of ~plumping~ with their pampering. This plant-powered hyaluronic acid serum is enriched with a blend of marshmallow extract, blue-green algae extract, chicory root extract, and chlorophyll for a revitalizing blend of antioxidants, proteins, and fatty acids. Magical fairy lights that'll add a fairytale touch to your mundane space and transform your bedroom into a cozy oasis. Why get regular ol' string lights when you can get these crackling crystals paired with the larger glowing bulbs for some *truly* enchanting vibes? A knot candle because if you thought your regular candles gave off cozy vibes, just wait until you get your hands on these. 😍 It comes in so many colors and scents you're basically obligated to get one for every room in your home. Or a "Witch's Brew Candle" — legend has it: it's said to fill your home with feelings of coziness as well as vibes of peace, happiness, and protection. But even if you don't believe in all that hocus pocus, at least you'll get to enjoy the alluring scent of orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. A machine-washable faucet splash catcher because it soaks up all the extra water that ends up around your sink throughout the day. Beats wasting paper towels and having to constantly wipe that countertop down! An all-natural scour paste made with baking soda, castile soap, and natural oils that'll work on those hidden spots in your home you've been avoiding (but somehow your mom will notice them). This stuff works on your tile, sink, stovetop, bath, and just about any surface! A genius butter dish and grip set because actually having to slice and spread a pat of butter is simply preposterous. Instead, just pop a butter stick straight onto this grip and spread away for hassle-free pan greasing. A sentimental art print that'll look so charming above your coffee station and delight all the artsy coffee lovers out there. An elegantly handmade floral coaster so that even the thing your iced drink rests on is eye-catching. These coasters are made with real flowers and sprinkled with gold flakes that make them look so sophisticated, you may be tempted to point that pinky up every time you reach for your drink. A pair of bubble and wand earrings because they'll ~blow~ you away with how pretty they are. They're sure to be the center of attention, no matter what you wear! A set of Goldfish fridge magnets — can you believe it? We're now using our fave childhood snack as a functional item in our adult home. What a full-circle moment. A handy dandy minimalist weekly cleaning printable that gives you a daily breakdown of small things you can do around your home every day to keep it clean, instead of letting it all pile up on you and having to clean it all at once. A quirky French café-themed print if you, too, believe that any hope for a good day should be sponsored by coffee. Hang this in your kitchen or at-home office, and you'll constantly have this cute lil' cat to look to for some sense of relatability. A dreamy, reviewer-beloved chiffon maxi dress worthy of infinite twirls. Designed with an elegant V-neckline and a hidden zipper closure, this flowy dress is perfect for those summer weddings you've got coming up this year. And bonus — custom sizing is available! A chemical-free glass cleaner for anyone who appreciates non-toxic cleaning products. This cleaner is made with ingredients so safe; you could even eat them (probably won't be too tasty, though), like castile, essential oils, distilled water, and lime. This also makes it safe for kids and pets! But don't let this sway you from its effectiveness — one use of this, and you'll have glistening, streak-free windows and mirrors. A luxurious, vegan pure wild-crafted batana oil to elevate your self-care regimen. Use it as a deep-conditioning treatment, a leave-in conditioner, a scalp massage oil, or a skin moisturizer! And the scent? Heavenly. A set of all-natural toilet bombs because it'll stop you from dreading cleaning your porcelain throne. Heck, you might even look forward to it with these! These are scented with essential oils like eucalyptus, lemon, and lavender and will clean, disinfect, *and* deodorize your toilet. All you have to do is drop one or two of these in the bowl, watch them fizz away, scrub, and flush — amazing.

Bella Hadid Convinced Me to Buy 501 Levi's Shorts on Amazon

Aside from the fact that Bella Hadid is a super rich supermodel with a cowboy BF who looks like he galloped straight out of a smutty beach read, I can sooo relate to the Kin Euphorics co-founder. I, too, have dyed my brunette hair a blinding blonde and think women shouldn't have to work on their period. We're two peas in my (delulu) pod. And while her wardrobe might occasionally lean unrelatable—she is still a super rich supermodel, after all—her latest look is not only totally accessible, but has convinced me to finally buy a pair of 501 Levi's cutoffs for myself. Bella was photographed making a quick pit stop to pump gas (see, relatable queen, told you!) in Aspen on Sunday, wearing a medium wash of the style with Classic Micro Uggs, a casual tee, and red varsity jacket. Though, TBH, I don't know her exact shade, I found a pretty (if not exact) match for her shorts on Amazon—and they're only $34. The universally flattering summer staple has that lived-in vintage feel but with a little update from the OGs. The style has a waist-defining high rise fit and 100% cotton fabric that won't stretch out two sizes too big after just one wear. But, even though they hold their shape well, they still have just the right amount of give so you're not uncomfy. Thousands of shoppers raved about the denim shorts. "This is my first pair of Levi's or shorts without stretch so I went through hundreds of reviews to settle on a size and these are perfect," one customer said, before adding that "they make [their] legs look longer" and are "surprisingly comfortable too." Another said that the "fit is amazing" and they're "snug in all the right places without being too tight." Others added that they're "always true to size" and "super flattering on any body type." If you want to complete Bella's entire look, you can snag her Uggs to pair with the denim and toss on a simple red bomber (maybe this one or this one?). I'm certainly going to just in hopes I manifest a cowboy BF of my own. Megan Schaltegger is an NYC-based writer. She loves strong coffee, eating her way through the Manhattan food scene, and her dog, Murray. She promises not to talk about herself in third person IRL.
