I'm sitting on my couch with my laptop, coffee, and a mission: Make your life a little bit easier. While I'd love to grant a wish in the shape of a trust fund or an Oprah-style new car, you'll have to settle for what I can offer: product recommendations! Today, I'm sharing 37 of the smartest, most useful inventions that truly help daily life as a grown woman.
Some of these products are designed for work, like this classy laptop bag that looks way more expensive than it is. I also found new gadgets for the home, including something called a laundry guard (don't you want to know what that is?). I didn't forget the fun--this list includes a universally flattering lipstick that costs under five bucks!
