Somehow the year 2019 has slipped through our fingers and 2020 is looming.
I'm not screaming, you're screaming.
And TBH, I feel like our New Year's resolutions will be extra powerful — it is the end of a decade and the start of a new one after all.
To help give you an early mark on those resolutions, here's a bunch of products that will give you a head start on 2020 and the decade ahead.
It'll almost be like a test run!

2. This green tea memory foam mattress that will evenly distribute your weight on its surface, resulting in a great night’s sleep every night.
An old, tired mattress is generally the reason you can’t get comfortable at night. Replacing that old mattress can relieve aches and pains and ensure you sleep right through until your alarm goes off.. And as we all know, the benefits of a good night’s sleep are undeniable.
The mattress also comes in a box, making it crazy convenient and easy to order.

There’s no better experience than listening to a book (it’s like a movie for your ears), and if you’re a fan of My Favourite Murder, I’d recommend listening to Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered — even if you’ve already read the book. It’s read by the hosts, Karen and Georgia, and it’s a whole ass mood.
9. This set of reusable, eco-friendly shopping bags that fold up small, so that you can keep them on hand for those impromptu shopping trips.
These bags are big enough to carry a load of groceries, while small enough to fit into a little crossbody bag.

10. This cordless vacuum that will make the most mundane chore actually fun.

The compartments in these make it easy to seperate the different components of the meals you’re making, which immediately makes those meals more appetising.

12. And this ridiculously trendy lunch bag so you don’t have to carry around that old paper shopping bag, or a hideous thermal bag.
This bag is insulated, which means your lunch will stay hot or cold. And just by looking at it from the outside, you can hardly tell that it's an actual lunch bag.
Buy it from Amazon Australia for $25.99.
13. This vacuum insulated water bottle that will encourage you to drink water.
This bottle keeps water cold for 24 hours, and cold water means you’ll probably drink more of it, because let’s be real, nobody wants lukewarm water. It’s slip-free, leak-free and is finished with a powder coat which means no condensation.
Buy it from Amazon Australia for $34.99.
14. This wake-up light alarm clock that simulates the sunrise for a more natural awakening.
