We go from being carefree and silly to then realizing we have many responsibilities and need to adult. Adulting is hard, we all know this, but it truly does not have to be. My favorite parts of adulting are staying up late and being able to do what I please. Though there are parts where I could use a little help, really, we all can. Making adulting easier is why we've gathered this list of items perfect for all of us grown adults. With the right items in your life to help you get through your day-to-day, adulting can be a breeze. We all could use some suggestions with organization and I love these shower shelves for that. The divided pan is a major game changer for me and it's a definite need for every adult. You might even want to snag a few of those as gifts, they're incredible.

The Best Soap For Dudes
If I had a dollar for every guy I've seen in my social media newsfeeds talking about this soap, I'd have a lot of dollars. And, apparently, the praise on Amazon is consistent with the accolades I've seen people I know in real life throwing around. This exfoliating soap bar by Dr. Squatch has a refreshing cedar and orange fragrance and is handmade using a cold process method. Guys won't care about all of that; just know it smells good and works well.
This Personal Blender is Just the Right Size
I got this personal sized blender and couldn't be happier with the results. There's an included funnel that you can use for adding protein powders without the mess, and a mini ice cube tray, plus the blender recharges via USB - how cool is that?
This Grill Gets High Marks
It's too hot to grill, O.K.? But, that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy all of your grilled favorites ... inside ... from the comfort of air conditioning. This smokeless indoor grill has a large 14-inch cooking surface and an adjustable temperature setting up to 450 degrees. The best part is that you can still get those glorious grill marks. (Oh, and it being dishwasher-safe is pretty awesome as well.)
Twelve Tools In One With This Pocket Multitool

These Dog Bowls Prevent Spills
When we got our puppy, one of the first of many purchases was this dog bowl with included mat. It prevents her from spilling food and water all over the floor as she'd like to do and contains any messes she does manage to make. The best part is she can't tip the bowls over so it's much less clean-up for me!
This Caddy Corrals Your Cleaning Tools
Washing dishes is a fact of life; yes, even if you own a dishwasher. That means you need a scrub brush or sponges ... or both. But, where to store them? This two-in-one kitchen sink caddy gives these cleaning tools their own space, which keeps them out of your way while they dry in a sanitary kind of way. The design of this caddy won't take up a ton of room, either.

This Solar-Powered Windchime Changes Colors

Clean Your Clothes Cleaner
via AmazonI had a front-load washer and dryer some years back and I loved them with one exception: The washer would get super stinky.

I got this little wash bag for my last vacation, and it was so worth it. I can wash whatever I bring with me, so I can even back lighter.
Wet It And Forget It
What sounds better when it's time to clean your shower: Scrub on it for an hour or wet it and forget it? It's the latter, right? (If not, you're one sick puppy.) This shower cleaner thrives on the "wet it and forget it" mentality by encouraging once-weekly application that cleans and prevents soap scum, mold, and mildew buildup. No scrubbing or wiping is required.
These Kitchen Scissors are So Handy

I received this Takeya Coldbrew Maker as a gift a few years back and since then, it's been in daily rotation in my fridge.
