This Nail Polish Will Help You Stop Biting Your Nails

via: Amazon

I've been a nail-biter since I was a little kid, and let me tell you, it's a tough habit to break. But a few months before my wedding I looked down at my hands to see chewed, bloody stumps for nails and realized that I had to do something about it.

This stuff tastes so horrible that I quickly avoided putting my fingers in my mouth at all costs, and within a week my nails were transformed from gross to gorgeous.

This Meal Planner Will Help You Stop Eating Out

via: Amazon

My husband and I love to go out to dinner. Eating is pretty much our only hobby, and I'm always thinking about what new restaurant I'd like to try next. The only problem with this is that it was eating away at our bank account at a frightening pace, and I realized that if we didn't start cooking at home we'd be in the poor house.

This weekly meal planner has been essential in helping us avoid the sushi bar.

These Fridge Liners Will Help You Stop Wasting Food

via: Amazon

Because we've been cooking at home more, we tend to stock our fridge with food every weekend and slowly go through it throughout the week. And while I always think we'll be able to finish two bags of apples in 7 days, that doesn't always happen.

These fridge liners keep our fruits and veggies fresh for way longer so I waste less food and money.

This Dry Shampoo Will Help You Stop Washing Your Hair Too Often

These Acne Patches Will Help You Stop Popping Your Zits

I'm a fair redhead with acne-prone skin, meaning that I not only have to deal with painful zits on a regular basis but my skin is so sensitive that most acne products are way too harsh.

This Pill Organizer Will Help You Remember To Take Your Pills

via: Amazon

I just had a baby two months ago, and throughout my pregnancy, I was forced to take a handful of pills every day. Because I'm prone to forgetfulness, I was worried that I would neglect the medication I needed to keep the baby healthy and myself feeling less miserable.

This pill organizer was a total game-changer. I've been recommending it to everyone.

This Water Bottle Will Help You Stay Hydrated

via: Amazon

Speaking of forgetfulness, who else is constantly forgetting to drink enough water throughout the day? I sure do! So when a friend told me about this water bottle that forces her to drink her recommended amount I was instantly on board.

The multicolored bands help you keep track of how much water you've had and how much you still need before the day is done.

This Facial Cloth Will Help You Not Fall Asleep With Makeup On

This Reusable Bag Set Will Help You Stop Forgetting Your Shopping Bags

via: Amazon

I try to do what I can to avoid adding to the destruction of Mother Earth. That involves using cloth diapers, washcloths instead of paper towels, and bringing my own reusable shopping bag with me to the grocery store. The only trouble is, I often forget to throw it in my purse before leaving the house.

This colorful set folds into a tiny square so I can keep three or four in my bag at all times.

These Beauty Blenders Will Help You Stop Applying Makeup With Your Hands

via: Amazon

Here's another beauty confession that I'm not very proud of: Although I own roughly 500 makeup brushes, I apply my foundation and concealer with my hands. I know I shouldn't, but I do.

But since I'm trying to break my bad habits, I just ordered these cheap but amazing beauty blenders to use instead. No more rubbing my disgusting fingers all over my face!

This Fitness Tracker Will Help You Stop Avoiding Workouts

via: Amazon

I'm still trying to lose my remaining 15 pounds of baby weight, and while it's hard to find time to work out (or shower, or change into non-puke-stained clothes...) I try to fit in at least a half-hour of some form of exercise per day. This fitness tracker helps me keep track of how much I'm doing and stops me from slacking off.

This Screen Cleaner Kit Will Help You Stop Using A Filthy Phone

This Garment Steamer Will Help You Look Less Sloppy

These Band Extenders Will Help You Stop Wearing The Wrong Size Bra

via: Amazon

The last time I was measured for a bra I was in my freshmen year of high school, and seeing as I'm still wearing the same size (and have since given birth to a child), I'm guessing I'm not wearing the correct size. But why throw down hundreds of dollars on new bras when you can just buy these handy extenders instead?

These Packing Cubes Will Help You Stop Overpacking

via: Amazon

As a freelance writer, my schedule is flexible enough for me to travel as much as I want, which means I'm constantly living out of a suitcase.

These packing cubes help to save my sanity while I'm on the road.

This Makeup Brush Cleaner Will Help You Stop Using Dirty Brushes

This Safety Light Will Help You Stop Running In The Dark

via: Amazon

I was an avid runner before I had my son, and I always preferred to run in the evenings to unwind after a long day. The only problem with this was my terrible habit of not wearing any lights or anything reflective, which, looking back, was incredibly stupid.

When I start running again, I'll do it the right way with one of these safety lights.

This Sunscreen Spray Will Help You Stop Getting Sunburned

This Coldbrew Maker Will Help You Kick Your Starbucks Addiction

via: Amazon

I live dangerously close to a Starbucks, and for the first month after I moved into my house I walked there every day to buy an iced coffee.

This cold brew coffee maker has seriously saved my bank account.

This Water Flosser Will Help You Take Better Care Of Your Teeth

Whenever I go to the dentist and he asks me if I've been flossing, I always say "yes" even if it's a complete lie. I know it's good for me, but it usually takes more effort than I'm willing to put in at 10 o'clock at night.

This water flosser basically does all the hard work for you so you have no excuse not to floss. Now you can finally stop lying to your dentist!

These Dusting Slippers Will Help You Clean Your House

via: Amazon

I have a dog who sheds so much that there are tumbleweeds of dog hair blowing around my house at all times.

Not only are they insanely comfortable, but they sweep my floors with zero effort on my part.

This Laundry Hamper Will Help You Stop Mixing Your Lights And Darks

Mixing my lights and darks together when I throw in a load of laundry is one bad habit that I know is wrong every time I do it but the thought of going through my dirty clothes and separating them out sounds like way too much work.

This hamper helps you remember to do this before you throw in a load so you're not forced to separate later.

This Door Knob Organizer Will Help You Stop Forgetting Essentials

via: Amazon

I don't think I've ever met anyone more forgetful than my husband.

This handy product fits right over the doorknob and has slots, hooks, and pockets that are perfectly sized for essentials. Sure, he still forgets things, but it's much less often now.

These Cleaning Tablets Will Help You Stop Using Dirty Water Bottles

via: Amazon

I own around 20 different water bottles, and although I use them pretty consistently, I avoid washing them because of what a pain it is. No sponge reaches far enough inside one to thoroughly clean it, and I doubt that swishing some soapy water inside them is good enough.

That's what make these Bottle Brite cleaning tablets beyond brilliant. Just drop one in, watch it dissolve, and enjoy your perfectly clean bottle; no scrubbing required.

This Avo Saver Will Help You Stop Wasting Avocados

via: Amazon

If I could eat guacamole with every meal, I totally would. The only problem?

This Avo Saver lets me carry on with my guac addiction without wasting food.

This Hair Trimmer Will Help You Stop Neglecting Your Nose Hair

via: Amazon

This Pasta Measure Will Help You Stop Making Too Much Spaghetti

via: Amazon

I don't know about you, but, but every single time I make pasta I end up making enough for roughly 10 servings, and most of those wind up in the trash. For some reason, I've always found it extremely difficult to figure out how much uncooked pasta to throw in the pot.

This spaghetti pasta measure solves that little problem for me in the easiest way possible.

This Heat Protecting Spray Will Help You Stop Damaging Your Hair

via: Amazon

I have a ton of thick, stick-straight hair, and while I don't have to do much styling to make it look nice, I blow dry it several times per week.

So I picked up a bottle of this heat protecting spray and have already noticed a huge difference.

These Charcoal Deodorizers Will Help You Stop Wearing Smelly Shoes
