This portable power bank can change the way you power your devices

This book will touch your heart and inspire you to overcome obstacles

This is one of those books that will put your own life into perspective and leave you in a place of gratitude. The Diary of a Young Girl is 13-year-old Anne Frank's chronicle of two years living in hiding from the Nazis.

Give your body the strength and flexibility it longs for with this exercise and stability ball

My three must-haves for daily health are nutrition, sleep and exercise. The exercise doesn't have to be high-impact.

Say goodbye to jagged edges and dropped lids with this improved can opener

A can opener is a can opener, right? Wrong. The classic can opener has some shortcomings that are fixed in this improved design. For one, this can opener cuts the lid cleanly, leaving no sharp, jagged edges to cut yourself on (and no little metal shavings to fall inside the can). It also fixes the all-too-common problem of the freshly-cut lid falling into the can, where you have to fish it out of the soup with your fingers. This little baby uses a magnet to secure the lid to the can opener once it's cut. The final touches are a nice big ergonomic handle and a premium stainless steel blade -- all for a ridiculously low price.

Let this soft and breathable body pillow improve your sleep and brighten your mornings

An adjustable monitor arm can revolutionize the way you work

Ever since I mounted my computer monitor on an adjustable arm, my work day has been much more comfortable. Whatever position I want to be in, I can simply swing the arm over, raise it up or down, and tilt it to just the right angle to see clearly without any strain. Then, when I'm done working, I can push the arm back and collapse it into the most compact position so the monitor is unobtrusive. This monitor arm works for screens up to 32 inches and 17.6 pounds. It's fully adjustable and comes with a C-clamp and VESA plate to attach it securely to your desk.

Type in a healthier, more natural position using this wave design keyboard

Working on a keyboard all day, or even part of the day, can be rough on the body. It's not hard manual labor, but it is a repetitive motion that involves being in a slightly unnatural position for an extended period of time. Anything you can do to reduce that strain can help you avoid carpal tunnel and similar injuries. The curved layout of this wireless keyboard is meant to help with that by guiding your hands naturally into just the right position. This keyboard has a long battery life (up to three years) and easily pairs with your computer using a USB receiver.

Combat depression with a light therapy lamp that mimics the sun's natural light

As I write this, we're living through the Covid-19 pandemic, which is keeping all of us indoors more often than usual. So it's not surprising I'm drawn to a product that can help replace some of the positive effects we would normally get from sunshine. This light therapy lamp delivers bright light at up to 10,000 lux. This is UV-free LED light, which you can set to your choice of three brightness levels. Light therapy is a way to treat seasonal affective disorder and other types of depression by mimicking the effects of natural sunlight.

Soothe anxiety and improve sleep with this soft cotton weighted blanket

Weighted blankets have become all the rage for their many health benefits. They distribute light pressure evenly across the body, kind of like a soothing hug. This can reduce anxiety, calm restlessness, improve mood and increase the quality of sleep. This weighted blanket has 100% natural cotton fabric with an adorable yellow flower print.

Keep your car and garage spick-and-span with this wet/dry shop vac

If you drive on a daily basis, and let's face it, most of us do, having a clean car can make a huge difference in daily life. It's easy to feel like life is out of control when you're sitting in traffic looking at a passenger seat covered in crumbs and a floor littered with receipts and wrappers. Not to mention a dashboard thick with dust. This 2.5-gallon utility vacuum is the perfect way to revamp your daily commute. Just spend an hour giving your car a once-over with this little puppy and it'll be spotless. It has a 10-foot cord and comes with attachments that'll make it a breeze to detail the car vents, cup holders and everything else.

Recreate the feel of a Himalayan salt sauna at home with this salt lamp

This lamp is made from hand-carved Himalayan rock salt from Pakistan. Light it up and it radiates a warm amber glow, creating the kind of peaceful, relaxing environment you get in a Himalayan salt sauna. This is great on your desk, in your yoga space or on your bedside table. It has a handy dimmer switch, allowing you to control the brightness, and a stainless steel base that manages drainage and protects against moisture build-up. You could even set it on a timer to come on in the morning, creating the feel of the sunrise.

These no-cut gloves will make meal prep easier and pain-free

I can't count the number of times I've cut my fingers while chopping vegetables. I tell myself to go more slowly and pay more attention, but that only helps a certain amount. A better solution is a pair of these cut-resistant gloves. Made of food-safe materials four-times stronger than leather, these gloves prevent almost any kitchen knife slip-up you can imagine. They're ultra-thin, soft against the skin and highly elastic. Best of all, they come in four sizes, so you can get the perfect fit. (Use their size chart to measure your hand before buying.) After use, just pop them in the washing machine and hang up to dry.

Use these little gnat traps indoors and outdoors to catch annoying flying insects

I added some houseplants to my living room to brighten up the atmosphere and purify the air. It worked! It's a much more soothing environment. Except for one thing: the gnats. Apparently they too love my houseplants. I can't express how annoying it is to try to watch TV while swatting at tiny uncatchable gnats. That's where these little yellow gnat traps come in handy. They do the work for me, attracting and catching those pesky suckers. Just stick these in the soil of your plant pot and, voila, a bug-free home!

This outdoor security camera gives you peace of mind in your home

I only had to log on to the Nextdoor app one time to realize how useful a security camera can be. There are constantly people posting about things they saw on their security cameras from the night before, like someone hopping fences or stealing packages off doorsteps. Though I try not to overload on negative news, one thing I learned from these posts is that it can be really useful to have security camera footage if something bad does happen. If your packages are stolen, you may have video of the culprit in action. And you might even be able to head off problems by seeing what's going on before it gets too bad. This outdoor security camera connects to your wifi and records in 1080p. It has a two megapixel HD lens that records clearly, day and night, even in harsh weather conditions. Plus, you can connect it to Alexa so you can control it by voice command.

Give yourself extra room to move around in the shower with a curved shower curtain rod

This is revolutionary! This curved shower curtain rod will expand the area around your upper body, giving you a freedom of movement you've never known before within the confines of your shower. Though you still have the same amount of space down at the bottom, where the shower curtain liner tucks into the bathtub, you have lots of extra space up top, which is where you need it anyway. After all, that's where your arms are. Enjoy the freedom of movement this extra space offers. And, with the shower curtain pulled away from your upper body, you'll never again have to experience that annoying feeling of the shower curtain suction-cupping itself to your arm while you're trying to wash your hair.

Strengthen, tone and rejuvenate with these handheld weights

Exercise is right up there with sleep when it comes to the keys to a healthy and happy life. Hand weights are a great tool for staying strong and fit.

This gadget has revolutionized the way millions of people go to the bathroom

Ok, this is a delicate subject, but it's also an important one. I'm talking about going number two. According to the folks at Squatty Potty, traditional toilets put us in an unnatural position for the elimination of waste, causing unnecessary strain and difficulties. Their product is aimed at putting people back into a natural position that unkinks the inner workings and lets things flow smoothly. That position is a squat. Just slide the Squatty Potty foot rest around the base of your toilet and rest your feet on it when you go. Millions of people swear by it as the cure for the toilet blues.

This sleep sound machine offers 24 different sounds in three categories: fan, white noise and nature (like ocean, crickets, thunder and more). It has a timer function so it'll shut off after 30, 60 or 90 minutes -- or you can leave it going all night.

This ergonomic trackball mouse reduces strain on the arm and wrist

Repetitive strain from the use of a computer mouse is a real thing, and millions of us suffer from it.
