    34 ~Stellar~ Things You Didn’t Know You Needed In Your Life (But Probably Do)

    I'm pretty sure you need these in your life.

    1. A bottle of CeraVe hyaluronic acid serum with vitamin B5 that packs a serious punch in the moisture department. It has a lightweight gel texture and will sink into your skin in a ⚡️flash⚡️.

    2. A trio of sloth scrubbing sponges that'll make dish duty more fun. They're tough on caked-on food, but won't scratch up your precious plates and bowls.

    3. A pair of bootcut leggings if you're on the hunt for something a bit more fun than classic skinny leggings. They're made of soft, stretchy fabric and will give you the 🍑 of your dreams.

    4. A bottle of plant-based paw cleaner you can use to scrub your pooch's tootsies after a play in the park. The head has silicone bristles that'll help you get in between their toe beans, leaving them with sparkling trotters every time.

    5. A pack of extra-large acne patches so you can get rid of those annoying little colonies of breakouts on your nose and cheeks. Not only will they draw the gunk out of your zits, but they'll stop you from picking at them, too.

    6. A cozy Roots crewneck sweatshirt because you can never have too many in your collection. It's a touch oversized, meaning you can layer up underneath without ending up looking bulky.

    7. A copy of The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of the Whole Stupid World if you wanna become an ornithologist, but don't wanna mess with serious textbooks. It features NSFW names and descriptions of all the winged pals you'll find in your backyard and beyond.

    8. A pair of chic glass cruets that you can fill with oil and vinegar. Now you can finally get those ugly Costco-sized bottles off your counter.

    9. A tub of Shea Moisture curl-enhancing hair cream that'll work serious magic on frizz and split ends *and* leave you with the glossy, bouncy tress of your dreams. Reviewers say it doesn't weigh down their hair at all and are obsessed with the scent.

    10. A stove cleaning kit that'll make your cooktop look good as new in just a few minutes. Just apply the cream to your burners, wait a few minutes for it to sink in, and then scrub away the gunk with the spongey cleaning tool. For super stubborn messes, you can scrape off build up with the razor.

    11. An Apple Watch stand that'll give your gadget a home on your desk or bedside table. Reviewers love that there's space inside for extra cord, helping to reduce clutter.

    12. A compact of Wet n Wild finishing powder you can use to set your foundation when you're finished your glam for the day. Thanks to the addition of tea tree extract, vitamin E, and witch hazel, you'll also be giving your skin a little love.

    13. A lululemon Go Getter Pouch for all your toiletries that'll come in handy when you're heading off on your next vacation. It has plenty of pockets that'll help you keep your skincare, haircare, and makeup separate.

    14. A bamboo charcoal odour absorber that'll banish stink from wherever you put it. It's fragrance- and chemical-free (perfect if you hate artificial scents) and will last a whopping two years.

    15. A petite rug that's perfect for smaller spaces, like by your front door or in front of your sink. Since it has a non-skid backing, you won't have to worry about it migrating around your apartment.

    16. A bread plate that's honestly just too cute for words. I wanna eat avo toast off it. I wanna eat sandwiches off it. I wanna eat pretty much everything off it. Bye to my other plates, see ya never 👋.

    17. A buttery-soft half-zip workout top if they keep the fans *blasting* in your gym and it's a bit too frosty to go sleeveless. Plus, it's so cute, you'll wanna wear it even when you're not working out.

    18. A Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush if your cheeks could use a lil' colour. Reviewers say blending is a breeze and love that they can apply it with their fingertips (no extra tools needed).

    19. A bungee dog leash that'll be your new BFF if your pup basically drags you on every walk. Because it has a waist attachment, you can use it hands-free (that means you can bring a cup of coffee on your walk or wear your thickest mitts).

    20. A soufflé pancake light to add some much-needed cuteness to your desk sitch. It'll automatically shut off after an hour, so it'd also make a great nightlight if you hate drifting off in pitch-black darkness.

    21. A pair of Jenny Bird hoops if you're tired of huggies and teeny studs. The full loop style is designed not to get caught in your hair, which is a major plus, IMO.

    22. A stainless steel storage basket that'll keep your styling tools and products from taking up a ton of precious cupboard and counter real estate. It's heat-resistant, so you can throw in your curler or hair dryer when it's still cooling down.

    Several hair tools in the basket

    23. A colouring book for adults filled with under-the-sea doodles for you to shade in. They're so pretty, you may even wanna hang them on your walls when you're done.

    24. A plant stand that'll give your leafy bbs the pedestal they deserve. And, since the shelves are all different heights, you'll be able to fit vines and greenery of all sizes.

    Several plants on the stand

    25. A Kylie Cosmetics Kybrow Kit that comes with a pencil and a gel. Use it to makeover your lacklustre face caterpillars and achieve the full, fluffy brows of you've been dying for.

    26. A bottle of bestselling TheraBreath rinse if your breath smells, er, not so great in the morning. One gargle will bless you with results that can last up to 24 hours (providing you're not eating entire bulbs of garlic at every meal).

    27. A bolero top that's all business in the front and party in the back. If your sports bra or bralette has some cute detailing, it'll peek through the cutout at the shoulders — how adorbs?

    28. A calming Snuggle Puppy that'll lull your baby angel to sleep and help reduce their anxiety by mimicking the heartbeat and heat of an actual pup. It's machine washable, so you won't have to worry if your canine companion has any accidents in their crate.

    29. A bottle of Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, a leave-on exfoliant that'll banish dead skin cells and unclog your congested pores. Reviewers say it reduced hyperpigmentation dramatically in just a few days and that it helps clear up breakouts, too.

    30. A roll of painter's tape with a plastic drip sheet attached to it that'll save your hardwood and floorboards from unwanted splotches. Reviewers say it's a must-have for anyone who uses spray paint for DIY projects.

    31. A set of wedge makeup sponges that you can use to buff and blend your cream products to perfection. Since it comes with six in different colours, you can dedicate each one to a different type of product (foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, etc.) so you won't accidentally mess up your shades.

    32. A set of hot rollers if you don't have any interest in messing around with a Revlon brush or shelling out the cash for an Dyson Airwrap. Reviewers say they're a cinch to use, grip well, and that they leave them with bouncy curls that last for days.

    33. A compact air fryer so you can have all the joys of fried food, minus all the oil and splattering. It won't take up a ton of cupboard space, but it's so cute that you should probably just leave it on your countertop.

    34. And finally, a tub of Kérasatase scalp scrub made with jojoba and sweet orange peel that'll banish buildup and give your noggin a massage in the process. It's also great for combating dryness and getting rid of dandruff.
