I've got whosits and whatsits galore.
I started getting into bullet journaling this year, but I didn't have any fun colours to play with. I got these because they seemed both cute and practical (I was right). I love that they're not those harsh neon shades that most highlighters come in. They also don't bleed through my pages, so I don't waste any valuable journalling space.

This thing smells, like, bonkers good. I love that it's gentler than a pumice stone, but still gets the job done. I have pretty callused feet and this thing is slowly wearing them down to the baby-soft tootsies I dream of having (and eliminating stink along the way). It can last for more than 20 washes.

I used to go through charging cords like nobody's business, because I would tug them out of my phone at their base, frigging around with the internal wires in the process. These ones have thick, reinforced collars, so even when I yank them out of my phone, I don't mess with what's going on inside. Also, I thought I hated the bright red colour, but it actually makes them really easy to find amongst all the other random stuff in my junk drawer.

I have the angriest joints in the world. Like, my knees and ankles loathe me to the point where they crack even when I walk up stairs (my doctor said this was chill, I disagree). Because they are so rude, I need the best of the best when it comes to workout shoes, and Ultraboosts are it. This is my third pair and I am obsessed. Yes, they cost a pretty penny, but I have never found a running shoe I like more and always go back to buying them.

I love everything YETI makes, so I was prepared to love these tumblers before they even arrived on my doorstep. They're the perfect size for coffee, so my partner and I take them with us on our morning dog walk. The opening in the lid is also wide enough to slurp a smoothie from or slide a straw in, so I can really use them for every beverage under the sun.
Get the large size on Amazon Canada for $39.99+. Available in ten colours and in the shorter version.
Not to brag, but I have a lot of power bars in my home. While they do come in handy, they aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing. I use these to mount my power bars to the back of my furniture so that nobody can see 'em. You can easily un-Velcro them when you want to unplug or plugin different devices.

I get really dry lips in the winter and this stuff is a true lifesaver. It's pretty thick, but it gets the job done. I also love using it on my cuticles when they start fraying.

One thing I have done a lot of in quarantine is work out. It helps me manage stress and puts me in a better headspace, but I can't do it without the help of a coach. Alo Moves is, hands down, one of the best programs I’ve tried (and I've tried a lot of programs). Callie Gulickson's classes are my absolute favourite and my boyfriend loves doing the more challenging yoga flow classes. I enjoy switching up my routine and trying new classes and because Alo Moves has hundreds, I rarely get bored.

I find powder blushes extremely hard to work with, so creamy alternatives like this one are an absolute blessing in my books. This one looks super intimidating in the pan, but once you blend it out, it looks surprisingly natural. I love that you can also use it on your lips as a tint, so I don't have to pack my makeup bag with a ton of different products. It has a balmy texture, so it doesn't dry out my pout, either.
Get it from Sephora Canada for $26. Available in six shades.
This cleaning tool is life changing, y'all. It's designed specifically for people who have pets and has a self-cleaning brush roll that'll snatch up human tresses and pet hair with ease. Like, even the super-embedded stuff. You can check out my full review with more gross photos here.

You know what I love? Healthy, shiny hair. You know who gives it to me? My hairdresser, who I haven't seen in over 365 days. That means I had to search for my own ways to help the crispy rat's nest that resides on my head. This mask was the answer to my prayers. It left my over-processed tresses feeling like virgin hair again, which I haven't felt for, like, fifteen years. Also, it smells freaking delicious, so you'll probably be blessed with dozens of compliments.

My living room is home to a lot of electronics, and the two regular sockets on the wall just weren't cutting it, so I bought this. I cannot tell you how handy it is. I can plug in my TV, gaming systems, and extension cords all at once (truly game-changing). I love that it has a little shelf on the top where my phone or iPad can chill while they charge, too, because now I don't have to worry about stepping on them.

I was in desperate need of storage space, so I purchased the IKEA Kallax unit. Having all my junk on display wasn't as great as I'd initially imagined, so I purchased these bins to store extra blankets, pillows, and doodads. I love them! They make my living room look more put together, you know, like an adult actually lives there.

I'm not usually one for pricey skincare treatments, but this stuff has made me a convert. My skin feels plumper, more radiant, and generally happier after using it two nights a week for the last little while. I also like that it stays on your face and doesn't rub off on your pillow while you sleep, like most night creams and masks on the market.

Hello, my fellow clumsy people. Please allow me to introduce your new best friend, Gorilla Glue. This stuff is strong, meaning you can use it to fix broken flower pots, mend your gadgets, and use it to do general repairs. I recently used it to reapply a chunk I took out of the wood of my desk while putting it together, so I'm convinced it can really do everything.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am clumsy. That means regular tights just ain't it for me, because I always tear them. These ones can't be broken or busted through, so they're right up my alley. Even scissors can't puncture these glorious fibres (I've tried), so you can go out and live your life without worrying about getting a run in your pantyhose.

I went hunting for massage guns and read, like, fifteen articles before landing on the Theragun Prime. I'm aware that this baby is like the Maserati of massage guns and costs a pretty penny, but it's totally worth it. It's super powerful and you can switch up the heads to really dig into the right places. I use it for recovery after workouts and recovery after working from home (computer chairs kill me, ok?), and it's made me feel a million times better.

I'm obsessed with doing online barre classes and a lot of them require core sliders. I thought I could get away with using dishtowels, but these are so much more effective. I love that they can be used on all types of terrain and they glide like a dream, so you won't have to worry about them getting stuck.
Get them on Amazon Canada for $12.95. Available in five colours.
I've had the same dollar store utensil try for years, and while it served me well, I figured it was about time for an upgrade. I love this thing. It makes my cutlery drawer look so neat and tidy, and even has enough space for my extra gadgets. It's so handy, I bought the kitchen tool organizer version for my junk drawer.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $33.93. Available in three styles.
Sorry shower people, there's nothing quite like soaking away your worries. I have been on the hunt for a bubble bath formula that doesn't fizzle out in, like, four minutes, and this one does the trick. It also smells better than every other bath product in my collection — seriously, I cannot get enough.

Don't feel like Googling the weather forecast? Want to put on a playlist without using your hands? This lil' gizmo has you covered. It makes everything a lot easier and answers all the questions I'm too lazy to search for the answers to.

The cold weather always leaves me with dull-looking skin and I do not like it. So, I set my sights on glow-inducing products like this and test them out to see if I can achieve that "shine from within" look that beauty bloggers talk about. This stuff really does it for me. It leaves my skin looking more radiant and doesn't take hours to soak in, so I can quickly continue on with my skincare routine.

I have struggled to find a natural deodorant that actually holds up after a workout, but this stuff seems to be doing the trick. It also keeps my pits feeling moisturized, which is great, because who wants crispy pits? Not I. It's not heavily scented, so you won't need to worry about it clashing with your perfume, either.
