23 Problem-Solving Products
A Puracy spray that uses six powerful plant-based enzymes to take care of the latest coffee stain you got as you rushed to work. (But you still had time for coffee, didn't you?) It even shocked one reviewer with how well it removed greasy stains! The Saem hydrating eyestick if you decided it'd be a good idea to marathon the new season of Wednesday in one night, and now it's 8 a.m. and you feel almost as dead as she does. 🫠 This is made with a cooling formula infused with niacinamide and Icelandic mineral water, moss, and seaweed extract that works like a charm to help de-puff the area around your eyes and perk you up for a fresher start to your day. A weekly keyboard planner that'll delight all of the visual peeps out there who could use a little help getting their life together. This helps you organize your tasks and see the layout of your work week. Plus! It's undated, so you can feel free to use it only when you actually need it instead of splurging on a whole dated planner only to fill up half of it. A tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother if you've ever made the mistake of thinking a cloudy day = no SPF now you're seeing a sunburn start to form (yikes). This is formulated with aloe and coconut oil to keep you from looking like Elmo by the end of the day and help you say goodbye to that terrible pain and itching. And while we're on the topic — an Abib Airy SPF 50+ Sunstick Smoothing Bar because, ya know, K-beauty doesn't have ENOUGH wins. This genius product is designed with a curved stick that makes it super easy to apply, and a non-sticky, whitecast-free formula that blends ridiculously well with your makeup. (Seriously, what kind of sorcery is in this thing?) Top that off with its lightweight "soft matte" finish, and you've got yourself a new summer staple. Or!!

However, the real jaw-dropping feature is that it applies perfectly to your scalp — yes, your scalp needs SPF, too! A gorgeously designed Hatch Restore sound machine for all those nights when you could have chosen to go to sleep at a decent hour, but you Ah, it happens. This works as a touch-controlled smart light and will gently wake your body up with soothing sounds instead of that traumatizing iPhone alarm sound (you know the one). It even has a soft-glow reading light to help you wind down and slip into Dreamland. It'll look so chic on your nightstand and makes it feel like you're starting your day off with an energizing sunrise. An all-purpose car upholstery cleaner — remember that time you spilled your Starbucks everywhere and accepted the leftover stains as your new reality? Remember that?? 👀 Well, good news. This works on leather, carpet, vinyl, and plastic — so you can spritz it basically anywhere and get to scrubbing as the ~nano-technology~ (new fancy word detected) helps lift away dirt and grime. Yayyyy! Go, nano-technology!!! A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp if you've skipped this part of the bathroom cleaning process once or twice, and now you have unannounced guests knocking at your door. Hey, I get it — cleaning the toilet can get a little 🤢 disgusting. However, with these gel discs, all you gotta do is stamp one under the rim of your toilet bowl, and it'll help you keep that limescale and those dreaded toilet rings away. No touching or scrubbing any part of it! Just continuous, flush-activated freshness that lasts up to 12 days. A set of "wine wands" because while I would never say a wine night with the besties is a bad idea, doing it on a Sunday night only to wake up the next morning with what feels like a cinderblock rolling around in your head probablyyy isn't the best. These wands will give you all the flavor *without* that dreaded headache. They contain a histamine and sulfite filter, so all you gotta do is swirl it in your wine for 20 seconds to activate the hangover-relieving possibilities. And a pack of 16 Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mixes, which will serve as your little lifesavers for those EXTRA hot days when you should've had more water than you did (and for your next all-inclusive trip when it finally makes it out of the group chat and it's shots 24/7 😵💫). This stuff will help you rehydrate fast and may even ease hangovers! Drink one of these and you'll be feeling hydrated and fresh as a daisy. And a bottle of bleach-free Wine Away red wine stain remover that works to remove both fresh and dried stains, in case the last time you spilled Cabernet Sauvignon on your dining room chair wasn't the last time. A Bounce wrinkle release spray here to come to the rescue for that date night you're running late for. It also works wonders on those outfits that have been crammed into your suitcase after long flights! This releases the fibers in your clothing to help smooth it all out — because we just don't always have time to whip out the iron. And, let's be also just too lazy. A before-you-go Poo-Pourri toilet spray for those bathroom trips. (You knew good and well your tummy couldn't take that nitro cold brew, but you did it anyway because YOLO.) This spray packs such a punch, it should be considered the Rocky of all bathroom sprays. It's infused with a blend of lemongrass, bergamot, and citrus natural essential oils to trap the funk before it even gets the chance to wreak its havoc. Like Apollo Creed said, be a thinker, not a stinker. A Neutrogena makeup-correcting stick because you stayed up doomscrolling late last night, and now you woke up late and are rushing this morning, and now you've got smudged mascara. 🙃 This lets you effortlessly clean up makeup mishaps, which is more sanitary than using your fingers and more eco-friendly than using cotton swabs! A pack of all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets so your guests won't be grossed out by your stained mugs that you've had since college (whoopsies). The best part about these? It takes almost no effort on your part! Simply fill your bottle with warm water, drop in a tablet, let it fizz for 15–30 minutes, rinse, and kiss those coffee stains goodbye. A highly portable small power bank charger for when that *shocking* moment hits you: Leaving the house with your phone on 20% battery probably wasn't the best idea. This little powerhouse is fast — many reviewers say it fully charges their device in just minutes. Plus, having a quick and easy way to get a charge on your phone anytime, anywhere is a MUST. Or a wireless charging pad — since your phone will only stay charging as long as it's on the pad, it'll force you to be TikTok-free so that you can actually focus on your to-dos for the day. Just place your phone down to get a quick charge session in. A super handy luggage scale for all the times you could have sworn you were under the 50-pound limit, but those extra purchases and souvenirs added a hefty amount. This lets you know how much it weighs so that you don't have to worry about awkwardly stopping in the middle of a busy airport to redistribute weight. Plus, reviewers rave about how accurate it is! Once you have it, you'll never travel without it. A bottle of drywall repair putty so that no one (especially your landlord) is privy to all your failed attempts at hanging your aesthetic living room wall decor. Its water-based formula is mess free and able to be applied straight from the container! A productivity timer that'll serve as your designated taskmaster. Set to any number of minutes within an hour to keep yourself on track with when it's break time and when it's "Okay, no more Instagram — I gotta FOCUS" time. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to deep clean and deodorize your garbage disposal and pipes that have probably gone a little too long without your attention. 😬 It removes hidden bacteria, leaves a lemon fresh scent, and can even help extend the life of your disposal! A mattress vacuum — in case you didn't know... there's some gunk hiding in your mattress. Also, when was the last time you cleaned it? I can tell you the last time I did it: never. So we're in the same boat. 🙃 This handy gadget will help you loosen all the pet hair, dust, and dead skin in the crevices of the mattress (that you've been breathing in and sleeping on night. after. night.) and suck it all away.
