    34 Products To Help Solve Problems You've Been Putting Off Way Too Long

    After your first smoother No. 2 thanks to a Squatty Potty you'll wonder what you could've been doing with all that extra time.

    1. A natural deodorant that'll ACTUALLY work like it says. Cheers for an aluminum-free formula you can fully switch to with confidence.

    2. A small but mighty knife sharpener for transforming your lackluster cutters into safer, sharper instruments. No more (dangerously) hacking at a cucumber while wishing you'd sharpened 'em already.

    3. A hair-finishing stick (aka, styling product on a mascara-like wand) you can use to swipe all the baby hairs back into your ponytail. No more having to use *all* of those stylish hair clips you get in the pack at once. It's a LEWK, but something you shouldn't have to resort to!

    4. A mug warmer because you know that you should sip your tea faster but you get distracted so easily. No need to walk to the microwave for a refresh with this bb.

    A mug sitting on top of the Mr. Coffee mug warmer, which looks like a thick coaster.  There's also a spoon and a tea bag sitting on an actual coaster right beside it. This warmer is sitting on a desk.

    5. Bottle-cleaning tablets to rejuvenate the inside of your travel mug that currently looks like it's caked in mud thanks to your beloved coffee. Seriously, it's time to stop averting your gaze from its gross inside. These tablets fizz up and renew the look of your container.

    6. Death Wish Coffee (yep, that's the name!) that'll make you scarily alert in case you find yourself chugging the regular stuff to keep your heavy eyelids open and operating.

    7. Or an "ultra coffee" concentrate in case you'd rather just add water (and milk, in case you take it that way) for a quick, delicious caffeinated that is waaaay effective.

    8. A brow-volumizing gel to give you some definition and color without major artistic skills. (I hear the cries of the folks who've had zero success with pencils.)

    9. Indoor plant-food spikes so you can FINALLY feel like an adequate plant parent. You spent way too much on it at the farmers market anyway and are determined to help this one thrive. This is the year that we don't kill off every houseplant!

    10. A bidet attachment that'll make you rue the day (or ALL the days) you've spent hunting for TP lately and then stood in line at the store with a GIANT package of toilet paper. Let's cut down on that, OK?

    11. A dishwashing spray for anyone without a dishwasher (or even with one!) who wishes they could just close their eyes and have someone scrub at baked-on gunk. Ok, this won't scrub for you but'll make it to where you just have to SWIPE off the gunk and rinse instead!

    12. An odor-neutralizing candle made for pet-filled homes because those normal candles just are NOT cutting it no matter how many times you clean and spray freshener. It'll even neutralize the smell of roasting brussels sprouts in a tiny apartment, I know this.

    13. A budget monthly tracker that'll work in your Google sheets in case you prefer to keep it digital, are trying to be better about paying attention to where every (digital) penny goes.

    14. A teeth-whitening pen – it'll put only a teensy dent in your budget (vs. a trip to the dentist you've been saving up for), *plus* they're way easier to use than white strips and taste minty. I've used these and they're super easy but effective!

    15. And while we're talking about dental needs, a copper tongue scraper that'll help kill the funk so you don't waste your precious time buying different mouthwashes and mints to address it.

    16. A trio of simmer sauces no one will be able to tell are keto- or paleo-friendly unless you tell them. These'll be easier and better than than finally getting around to making all these sauces from scratch like you've been swearing you'd learn how to do in 2021.

    25. Acne patches here to help get at those blemishes without scarring or drying out the skin surrounding them. (AKA, they *gently* draw out the gunk.) Where were these when I was in middle school?

    26. A pumice stone toilet bowl cleaner to remove all sorts of stubborn rings that've been staring at you every time you're in the washroom. Nope, you do NOT need a new toilet. Your OG just requires some zhuzhing.

    27. Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver that'll do a far better job of clearing your bathroom or kitchen drains than the super well-known brand you usually grab.

    28. A biotin shampoo in case you've been thinking about how it looks like more and more hair ends up in the shower drain. This stuff is formulated to 1) of course, clean your hair and 2) help set your hair up for lusher success. Also, the reviews mention it works on multiple hair textures!
