    41 Things That'll Trick People Into Thinking You Actually Have Your Life Together

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't an undercover disaster.

    1. A pack of cable holders that'll keep your workspace looking neat and organized. Each holder comes with four wire slots and an adhesive sticker for easy installation.

    2. A set of silicone spatulas, so you can finally stop scratching the bottoms of your pots and pans. Reviewers love that each spatula is flexible, heat resistant, and a different shape and size for versatile cooking needs.

    3. A lazy Susan turntable with divided compartments, so your cleaning products, craft supplies or whatever it is you want to store won't get knocked over every time you spin it. Reviewers love how it transforms their messy corners and cupboards into accessible and organized storage spaces.

    4. A weekly pill organizer that'll help you keep track of your daily vitamins and tablets. Each individual container is divided in two, so you can separate your a.m. doses from your p.m. ones.

    5. A teeny-tiny bike storage rack that'll tuck your summertime ride away, as well as free up some floor space. With one clip per bike, installation is wildly minimal — just mount it onto a wall and pop the front wheel in.

    6. A Black and Decker handheld vacuum that'll come in handy when you're looking for a quick clean up. It's perfect if you're constantly brushing cat hair (or crumbs) off of every single surface (and don't want to commit to busting out your full-on vacuum cleaner).

    7. A ball chair that'll activate those core muscles while you sit at your desk. The supportive back bar is adjustable, so you can choose how high or low it is. Reviewers say it has helped them relieve back pain, improve their posture, and boost their energy levels.

    8. A 2021 agenda for when it hasn't been your day, your week, your month... etc. If your time management skills are minimal to non-existent (like mine), a simple planner can really help (as long as you actually commit to using it).

    9. Or this motivational calendar pad that'll help you see the bigger picture during hectic months. It's undated, so you can use it in February, take a three month hiatus, and come back to it when you need it again (without having wasted any unused pages).

    10. A drain catcher that'll spare you an awkward appointment with your local plumber. Reviewers say it's super easy to clean and excellent for anyone who practically moults every time they shower.

    11. A cute umbrella stand that'll save you from hunting for an umbrella every time it rains. It has a slotted shelf inside that can hold up to four umbrellas, big or small. Reviewers love how stylish, practical, and compact it is.

    12. A Udemy cooking class that'll expand your culinary knowledge and help you make more than the same three dishes on your current rotation. There are tons of options to choose from — Korean cuisine, healthy cooking — you name it.

    13. A tube of Neutrogena face sunscreen, because you should protect your skin all year round. It uses hyaluronic acid to help keep your skin hydrated, too — so it's especially fab for those of us who suffer from dry skin.

    14. A set of wine stoppers, so you don't feel pressured into drinking the whole bottle every time you open one. It comes with six stoppers and a vacuum pump that'll remove the air from your bottle — which will save your open wine from oxidizing and going bad.

    15. A cable management box that'll tame that tangled mess of cords beside your desk. It'll also prevent dust from building up in the sockets, preserving the life of your power bars and chargers.

    16. An insulated water bottle you can keep by your side at all times, so you're always hydrated. It'll keep your water cold for over a whole day — or your tea piping hot for up to 12 hours.

    17. A proper nonstick pan that'll replace the old peeling one you stole from your parents a few years back. Reviewers love how easy it is to clean, and that the nonstick coating is resiliant and long lasting.

    18. A mini sewing kit, so you can finally sew that button back on. It comes with everything you need for a basic fix — and if you've never sewn anything before, there are tutorials literally everywhere. So no excuses!

    19. A handy lid organizer that'll save you from rummaging through cupboards to find the right Tupperware lid every time you put your leftovers away. Reviewers say this thing gave their cupboards and drawers an instant upgrade.

    21. A Tile Pro Bluetooth tracker that'll help you find your keys, phone, wallet, or whatever else you tend to lose. You can connect it to a free app that'll help you find your lost item, even when your Bluetooth is out of reach.

    22. A mug warmer that'll save you from making the trip to the microwave every time you forget about your cup of tea. Reviewers say it's great to keep on your desk, especially if you're constantly on calls and can't always find a moment take a sip.

    23. A pair of dry-erase calendars that'll help you keep track of your day-to-day deadlines. You’ll get two calendars: one for the whole month and one for your week, for time management skills that are off the hook.

    24. Two sets of bed sheet fasteners that'll save you from waking up on your bare mattress. Just clip them onto the four corners of your sheet and voilà! You're already less of a slob.

    25. A foolproof knife sharpener with three slots that'll sharpen your straight and serrated knives, as well as your scissors. It's time to say goodbye to hacking away at your peppers and tomatoes with a dull blade, for good.

    26. A handheld clothes steamer that'll zap the wrinkles out of your favourite blouse, making it look good as new. Now you'll look (and feel) more put together, even if you're just hangin' at home all day.

    27. A pack of all-natural cleaning wipes that'll get rid of gross salt stains on your favourite boots. You can also use them to clean your fave leather jackets and handbags, too.

    28. A spice rack tray that'll keep your herbs oh-so orderly in your kitchen drawer. It's stepped, so you can clearly see your beautifully organized spice jars.

    29. A set of glass tupperware that'll make meal prepping a dream. It comes with 24 leak-free containers that can replace all the random, spaghetti sauce-stained ones that have long since seen the end of their days.

    30. A budget planner that'll help you figure out how many times you can order takeout this month. It has detailed sections to fill in for saving, paying off debt, and annual spending, so you can finally get a handle on your spending.

    31. A beautyblender brush cleaner that'll save your kabuki (and your skin) from years of left-over bronzer. It comes with a compact cleanser and scrubbing pad you can use to give your brushes the deep clean they probably need.

    32. A posture-improving cushion that'll push your tush forward, so you can stop slumping over your laptop. Reviewers say it's also great to use in your car, especially if driving is part of your job!

    33. A grout cleaning set that'll give your tiled walls a serious makeover. These pens will transform the grungy vibe that scrubbing alone just hasn't helped — and make it look like you live in less of a pigsty.

    34. A meditation journal that'll teach you how to take a breath and chill out for a sec. It's packed with mindfulness exercises and reflection prompts, so you can start balancing out your stress levels.

    35. A cool-mist humidifier that'll make you realize how much worse you felt before you had one. This baby will pump moisture into your dry apartment for up to 30 hours before it needs a refill, without disturbing you with noise.

    36. A boot tray that'll help you manage the pile of shoes at your front entrance. It'll save you from salt stains and tracking dirt in, which will make cleaning that area a heck of a lot easier, too.

    37. A foot scrub buffer, because you said you'd start paying more attention to your sweet lil' stompers. It's infused with lavender and tea tree oil, which will help soothe and cleanse while you exfoliate the heck out of all that dead skin.

    38. A cuticle removing solution, because you also said you'd start paying more attention to the condition of your unmanicured fingernails. This cult fave will make those dry cuticles of yours literally disappear.

    39. A storage rack that'll keep your brooms and mops from knocking over every five seconds. It's equipped with hooks and clasps, so you can hang other cleaning supplies like towels, too.

    40. A sunrise alarm clock that'll gently wake you up by tricking your senses into thinking it’s light out, even if it isn’t. The crescendo of nature sounds and gradual brightening will replace the jarring ringtone you’re probably using now.

    41. And finally, an air purifier that'll obliterate the dust and pet dander that loves to float through your apartment. It's especially handy if you have allergies — reviewers say you'll notice clearer sinuses and better breathing right away.
