    From home improvement items to life-changing beauty products — all you need is a 20 dollar bill and a shopping cart 🛒

    1. A satin-lined beanie that will keep you warm and protect your hair at the same time. Cold air can really dry out your scalp, but with this beanie your hair will stay moisturized, clean, and bouncy.

    2. And a set of satin pillowcases, because the hair and skin protection can continue while you're sleeping. There's less friction which means no more tangled hair, and the cooling effect will help you sleep soundly.

    3. A pair of fluffy house slippers that will make you think you're walking on clouds. They have nearly 3,000 5-star reviews with people raving about how cute and comfortable they are.

    4. Dashing Diva gel nail strips because they last so long, you'll get tired of the color. These glossy strips come in tons of cute patterns, solid colors, and mix match packs — perfect for when you want cute nails but can't make it to the salon every couple of weeks.

    5. A tube of the bestselling Lash Princess mascara for dramatically long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. This mascara has over 144,000 5-star reviews for a reason!

    7. A pack of aromatherapy shower streamers to soothe you before your day begins, calm you after a long week, and uplift you before a night out. This set of six includes "shower bombs" like Refresh (made with rosemary and mint), Energy (made with lemon and grapefruit), and lots more.

    9. A teeth-whitening pen because it's easier and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes. With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done.

    10. A jewelry-cleaning pen that'll have your old diamond ring shining bright again. (RiRi would be proud.)

    11. A wood polish and conditioner to restore your furniture, kitchen cabinets, or the cool vintage coffee table you found at a flea market. It's like getting all new things without the expensive price tag.

    12. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.)

    13. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.

    15. A set of water-absorbent coaters that are just as cute as they are useful. These marble-style coasters are fast acting when it comes to liquid clean-up, and they even have a cork bottom so there is no unwanted movement.

    16. Absorbent waffle dish towels because the splash design will really pop in your kitchen. I've had a set of these for almost two years, and even while going through the wringer of a clumsy cook (aka me), they still look as good as new.

    17. Velvet pillow covers to add some color to your couch, bed, or chairs. You'll get a set of two in each pack for under $15, so you might as well get a few colors so you can switch things up whenever you want to!

    31. One Blessed Acre's Eucalyptus Goat Milk lotion that'll leave your skin so hydrated, you'll want to thank the goat personally. The eucalyptus gives it the refreshing scent you're looking for, while the goat's milk and shea butter combo handles the dry skin relief.

    37. Reusable label stickers so you can organize your fridge or claim your food from roomies and co-workers. Simply use a permanent marker to label, and the included eraser (or just plain ole rubbing alcohol) will wipe the label clean. That's way less messy than a smudgeable dry-erase marker.

    38. A stainless-steel-effect vinyl wallpaper to turn your old appliances into something that looks brand new. It's a simple (and removable) peel and stick method!

    39. A liquid tartar remover that's basically mouthwash for dogs. It's especially great for dogs who won't let a toothbrush near them.

    40. A hair-removing glove for collecting your pet's loose fur before it get on your clothes, the couch, and every other crevice of the house. Both cat and dog approved!

    41. A black car scratch remover when you want to avoid the auto shop and their high prices. This remover will make the scratch from that one unsuccessful parallel park go away.

    42. An adorable hanging car diffuser, because those generic gas station air fresheners don't match your ~aesthetic~. Scents like Cucumber Melon, Pumkpin Spice, and Rainy Day will make you want to take the long way to work just to smell it a little longer.
