This Silicone Bottle Brush That Will Make You Swear Off Sponges Forever

If you think about it, sponges are gross. And for some reason, I think about it a lot. They're soggy, smelly, and basically just spread around more germs instead of actually removing them.

Just the opposite, actually. My back is still screwed up from pregnancy, but after laying on this for just 10 minutes, it feels completely healed.

This 2-in-1 Portable Charger That Keeps Your Devices Charged On-The-Go

via: Amazon

I'll admit it: I'm addicted to my smartphone. I'm on it constantly, and when it starts to die when I'm out and about without access to a charger I get incredibly anxious. I also completely rely on it to get around, since I have a horrible sense of direction. This portable charger also works as a power bank I never have to worry about that little blinking battery sign again.

This Over-the-Door Shoe Rack That Organizes My Space

via: Amazon

I have a lot of pairs of shoes. Too many, according to my husband. And since we have limited closet space, it's caused many arguments.

It hangs securely on the back of our closet door, so it not only doubles our storage space but also keeps my precious shoes from getting crushed or damaged. Score!

This Ponycap That Solves An Annoying Problem

via: Amazon

I have very thick hair that has a mind of its own. For years, I longed to be able to rock a casual baseball cap on a hot summer day. The problem? My long locks simply won't allow it.

This Hair Brush Cleaner That I Didn't Realize I REALLY Needed

via: Amazon

When was the last time you cleaned your hairbrush? If you're like me, the answer is probably "never". "Clean my hairbrush?" you might be thinking to yourself. "Why would I need to do that?"

This Pantry Organizer That Takes Up Minimal Space

These Onion Goggles That Turn Off The Water Works

This Minimalist Toothbrush Holder That's Cute And Clever

Remember what I said about barely being able to fit a toothbrush into my tiny bathroom? That wasn't a joke. I literally have nowhere to put it. I have a pedestal sink and zero cabinet space. This toothbrush holder is not only incredibly small, but it's also incredibly chic at the same time. It almost makes me forget how much I hate my bathroom!

These Popular Pimple Patches That Save My Skin

This mirror is like your rude friend who tells you the harsh truth when you really need to hear it.

This Magnetic Cup Holds Pencils on the Fridge or Filing Cabinet

via: Amazon

I'm the kind of person who makes an actual, paper, hand-written grocery list. I know, I know. I'm old-school.

This magnetic pencil cup keeps a pencil right on the fridge for easy access, and it looks cute doing it.

This Page Holder That's Sleek and Stylish

via: Amazon

I'm a big reader, and I refuse to read a book on my phone, tablet, or any other type of electronic screen. I need to hold an actual book, and while there's something so satisfying about turning page after page, it's also nearly impossible to hold a book and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine at the same time. This page holder helps me keep my place and multitask in the best way possible.

This Universally Flattering Lipstick That Works On Literally Everyone

via: Amazon / LawyerMom

I'm a pale, pale redhead, so finding the right shade of lipstick is always a struggle. They either make me look even paler or, for some odd reason, totally orange, which, because of my hair, makes me look like a giant pumpkin. But this lipstick is different. It's a delightfully neutral pink that I'm certain would look amazing on absolutely everyone. I keep it in my purse at all times!

This Long-Lasting Lip Balm That Soothes Chapped Lips

via: Amazon

I have a somewhat embarrassing and kind-of-gross confession to make: I lick my lips. A lot. Pretty much constantly.

This lip balm is the only kind I've found that makes a difference.

These Popular Leggings That I Wear Every. Single. Day

This Laundry Guard That Keeps Your Socks From Disappearing

via: Amazon

I've had a problem with missing socks for as long as I've been doing laundry. For some reason, when I'm folding my clean clothes and matching socks together, there are suddenly all singles and no couples. Then it dawned on me: They've probably all been falling behind the washer and dryer this whole time. And it's gross back there, so I'd rather just avoid that area altogether. This laundry guard lets me do that and I'm forever appreciative.

This Bra Liner That You Need. Trust Me.

via: Amazon

Do you sweat a lot? Don't be embarrassed. I sweat a ton.

I don't know how I lived so long without this thing in my life!

This Floating Wine Glass That Lets You Live Your Best Life

This Dry Texture Spray Is A Lazy Hair Day Lifesaver

via: Amazon

I use dry shampoo a lot. In fact, I probably use it more often than actual shampoo. Gross? Maybe. Convenient? Totally.

I recommend it to everyone I know!

This Digital Tape Measure That Gives You A VERY Accurate Measurement

Buying this digital tape measure was me making an effort to be handier, and I feel like it's already helped a lot.

This Collapsible Diffuser That Make Curls Look Fab

via: Amazon

This may sound bizarre, but I only just recently realized that I have wavy/curly hair.

Plus, it's way easier than I expected and I've had it for a week and haven't killed it yet, so it must be pretty resilient.

This Beer Cooler That Keeps Your Brews Frosty

via: Amazon

There are few things less satisfying than cracking open a cold one on a hot day. On the other hand, there are few things less repulsive than taking that first sip only to discover that your "cold one" is actually lukewarm at best.  Because I hate warm beer with a passion, this beer chiller has changed my life for the better.

This Handbag Holder That Attaches To Your Headrest

Where has this thing been all my life? It's an umbrella that has a cupholder built into the handle. How clever is that?!
