1. A portable charger so you'll never use the line "I would have been here sooner, buuuut my phone was charging" as an excuse ever again.
2. A super-loud alarm clock that'll flash red and shake to wake you up if your heavy sleeping is the cause of your tardiness.
3. A eyeliner stamp if you're perpetually trying and failing to get matching wings. And it's waterproof, so go ahead and shed those tears of joy after finally leaving the house on time.
4. A vegan leather backpack with a built-in portable charger to fit everything your throw into it AND charge your phone while you're rushing to class, so all you have to worry about is getting that A.
5. A portable razor for when you forget to shave in the shower. You always promise yourself you'll go back in the bathroom to do it quickly before leaving, but end up sitting on your bed, still in your towel, scrolling through Instagram, lose track of time, and ultimately rush to get ready.
6. A phone case with a built-in card holder to make your morning commute efficient by eliminating searching through your bag for your MetroCard, ID, or credit card since they'll be in the palm of your hand (phone).
7. A bottle of de-wrinkle spray for when the outfit you FINALLY decide to wear is completely crushed and you have zero time to iron it.
8. A smudge-proof Maybelline matte liquid lipstick so you can avoid wasting time reapplying more throughout the day and go straight from lunch to make it to that meeting on time.
9. A travel kit you can keep in your suitcase so you don't run late scrambling around looking for conditioner and other essential toiletries. Plus, all the pieces are TSA-compliant so you can go through airport security quickly and catch that flight.
10. Never Be Late Again, a book to help you get to the bottom of why you're always running late and learn about seven different ways to improve your punctuality.
11. A pair of Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers, because who has time for laces when they're already 15 minutes late for work? No one! Plus, they're made with memory foam so you can book it to the office in comfort.
12. A breakfast sandwich maker so you don't have to settle for a granola bar as your most important meal of the day since you didn't have time to stop for breakfast.
13. A shirt to shamelessly justify your lateness and let others know it serves a higher purpose: your health!
14. A Tile finder you can attach to your keys to help you find them ASAP instead of fumbling through your bag wondering if you left them on the kitchen counter... when you should have left the house 20 minutes ago.
15. An Echo Dot that's like having your own personal assistant to keep track and remind you of all your important appointments, meetings, and events. May you never be late for a date ever again!
16. A microfiber towel for drying your hair in half the time while you do your makeup, get dressed, and make breakfast.
17. Maybelline BB cream with SPF 30 so you only have to slather on one product to reduce the time it takes to do your makeup. It'll even out your skin AND protect it from the sun!
18. A countdown timer outlet that'll turn off your curling iron in case you forget to while you're in a frenzy trying to get ready before work.
19. An insulated bottle so you're not tempted to stop for coffee when you're already running late for class. Plus, it's leak-proof so feel free to throw it into your bag without a second thought as you rush through the door.
20. A programmable coffee maker that'll have your coffee hot and ready to go, even when you aren't! You can schedule a time (up to 24 hours in advance) for when you want your coffee freshly brewed.
21. A bottle of dry shampoo to cross washing your hair off your list of things to do before you leave your place for the day.
22. A body lotion you can apply in the shower and go straight from the shower, into your clothes, and out the door.
So you'll never get this look from your friends again:
