Life's tough, but we can at least make it a *smidge* easier by using one of these bad boys.
Promising review: "I LOVE these little fertilizer sticks for my plants. I have a lot of house plants but live in a tiny apartment so the more room I can save, the better. These are so easy to put in plant pots and have kept my indoor plants so happy and healthy. Some of the sticks can be hard to separate from one another but otherwise SO much easier than standard fertilizer and works to boot." —Rinar

Promising review: "I have absolutely no idea how this works so well and so quickly. You wet the brush tip and turn the silver end until the blue cleaning stuff comes out onto the brush applicator. You then quickly and very easily turn your jewelry from old and cloudy looking to sparkly and full of life again. Previously I had been using a tub of cleaner, where I would need to let my ring sit in it for at least half an hour, if not more. This was so much faster and so much easier, I’ll never go back to using the tub. I really wish I took before and after photos, such a difference!" —Ashley

Promising review: "I love, love this pumice stone! No, pumice stones are not my life, but this one makes my life easier. The toilet in our guest bathroom had a constant black ring from the water. I spent too much time and too much elbow grease so as not to be embarrassed. This has a great handle and a fine pumice which does the job quickly and perfectly. No muss, no fuss!" —Yvonne

Promising review: "WOW! I did not think I would LOVE this as much as I do! I thought, 'ehh, it will be alright,' and if it doesn’t work great on carpets or hardwood, I’ll use the squeegee side when I wash my car. The handle is made of a lightweight alloy, which makes it easy to tote around the house. But the broom — holy smokes. We have a long-haired Australian Shepard and he sheds badly. I sweep and vacuum multiple times per day. This has made life so much easier and is incredible to use on carpet and hardwood!! Now, I am not reaching for any other broom, and my vacuum thanks me for getting all this hair pulled up before vacuuming (before I was emptying the canister twice per room). LOVE IT (and didn’t think I’d love a rubber broom)!" —Alexandra Friedman

Designs By JIHill is a small business based in Amarillo, Texas, that sells unique car trash cans, baby bibs, and lip balm holders.
I absolutely love this trash can. Every time I step in the car, it makes me smile. I get tons of compliments and it makes it SO much easier to keep the car clean! I empty it out every time I stop for gas. Easy peasy!
Promising review: "So wonderfully cute and small enough to not be in a passenger's way. I commute and am the worst about rubbish collecting in my center console with all the snacks I bring with me everywhere. So happy to have a place for my mess to keep my car clutter free!" —Darienne Coffen

Promising review: "Spots magically disappear. My old carpet has been through the mill. Having fostered rescue dogs, I ended up with a filthy, stained carpet. I've spent hours on my hands and knees trying to remove the stains to no avail. Folex has done the trick and all I had to do was spray and watch the spots disappear. I can take up the area rug I was using to cover the nasty carpet and put it away once and for all. In fact, I'm getting another bottle of this just to have on hand. Thanks, Folex. You made my life so much easier." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is 1,000x easier than trying to do it yourself with tweezers! I don't know how I've made it this far in my life not knowing this was a thing but what normally takes at least 30 minutes took just two!" —Taylor

Promising review: "I got this to try to get some questions answered that need to be brought up to make the relationship better. One of my friends told me about this. He had got it during the early period of his engagement. This game made it easier to talk about deeper topics and to get the conversation started without feeling weird or uncomfortable. I bought it for vacation; we had an eight-hour drive and I figured it would help pass the time. At the end of the drive I felt a lot closer to my boyfriend and I was happy that we could talk about the difficult questions. I recommend this for all serious couples!!!" —princezzredd

Tiger98 is a small business based in San Angelo, Texas that sells handmade items for your car.
I got the bumble bee pattern and not only is it *so* adorable hanging on my visor, but it seriously made my life so much easier by allowing me to easily reach and grab a tissue while I'm driving! No more reaching into the center console to find a tissue!
Promising review: "Obsessed! It’s so perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I love the pattern and got a matching trash holder too! It also came with a pack of tissues which I appreciate so much! If I could give it 10 stars I would!" —Traci Adams

The light-blocking massaging beads inside the mask gently conform around your eyes, and the cross-stitching prevents those beads from putting too much pressure on your delicate eyes. You can even chill the mask in the fridge before use to provide a more soothing sensation.
Promising review: "This mask has made my life so much easier. I struggle with migraines every day and having a cooling mask that I don’t have to hold and can fall asleep with is perfect for me. My body runs hot, so this lasts about three hours until I have to put it back into the freezer. Highly recommend!!" —Ashley Oaks

Promising review: "I love these cable clips and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an easy way to organize cables! It sounds cheesy but they have made my life so much easier. I have one attached to the back of my bedside table in my bedroom and two on my desk at work. It makes my desk look neat and organized and is also extremely functional. I don’t have to worry about cords getting in the way or putting something like a coaster on top of them to keep them from falling behind furniture anymore. The price point is incredibly cheap for such a quality product and the amount that you get! I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy more if I found more places in my home or office that I could use them!" —Kayla Carroll

Getting a callous remover gel can really help soften that stubborn dead skin even more!
Promising review: "Amazing product. Where have you been all my life? I've used sand planes all my life and this is so much easier. But yes, go easy the first time because you may exfoliate too much if you're used to the sandpaper ones." —icandyvan

Promising review: "I’m new to the cold brew world, but this made my life a lot easier. It makes enough coffee for me to have a 6-oz. coffee every day for about a week. Don’t forget you don’t need that much cold coffee to begin with since it’s a pretty strong flavor so this pitcher will last you a long time in the fridge. Stayed tasty for two weeks in my fridge." —A. Hizam

Promising review: "I was using another cooktop cleaner and decided to try this one. What a huge difference!! I have a white glass top stove and it is a lot of work to keep it clean. I always had to scrub and most times use a razor blade to clean it. This was half the effort!!! And I like the smell also. It's always great when you find a product that makes your life easier." —LindaPBFL

The set comes with one small, one medium, one large, and one extra-large cube and a laundry bag.
Promising review: "I very recently went on a two-week vacation, and I used these packing cubes (teal-colored). This was my very first time using packing cubes, and they didn't disappoint! They kept my suitcase organized, and by the end of day three my suitcase would have been a chaotic mess! You need to get this! Super nice to have! Unpacking was a breeze too! They worked great, and the zippers glided, only one pulley on the zipper-pull came off, but that was an easy fix with tying it back on. Your traveling life will get so much easier! Vacation is supposed to be relaxing, so get these to have one thing less to worry about!." —DMM83

The Roll Keeper is owned by Kelso, Washington's resident crafter, Traci. Traci has been crafting for over 40 years and created her storage design to help organize vinyl, soon realizing that it was the perfect organization solution for much more. Her shop has versions for bottles, wrapping paper, pens, and more. Don't miss checking out this small business!
BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower says:
"Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. This genuinely makes my laundry day life so much easier! The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!"

Promising review: "FIVE STARS ALL AROUND!!! I'm absolutely impressed. 😩 I wanna cry! My color will probably fade as always, but it’s so much easier using this instead of going through the entire toning process! I’ve been a blonde for four years and burned inches on inches of hair and I'm still learning as I am NO professional. But I am absolutely astonished by how amazing this stuff is. It's definitely top of the line and will be used from now on. 💯" —Miya

Promising review: "This is a really cute (lots of compliments) and practical wallet. It has made it so much easier to travel because I can just hold it in my hand as I go through airport security. Love the RFID-blocking feature as that is so critical today especially with travel to large cities. I find it a little bulky with my phone in it but that's my preference. Works great with everything else including passport and travel tickets, etc." —GA

Uncaged Ergonomics is a small business that specializes in, well you guesses it, ergonomic desks and chairs to make your workday more comfortable *and* more productive.
BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower says: "This chair is SO GREAT. I got it after worrying about how often I was slouching during work. The adjustments make it easy to use while sitting or mostly standing (I use both daily) and it really does keep my posture in check. The best benefit for me has been the increased focus — the movement is great when spending so much time at my desk."
Promising review: "Simple. I stand or sit on command, which helps my back. Thanks to this chair, I've even increased sales. How, you ask? Before I had this I would walk away and not get work done; now I alternate positions and get lots more done. TA-DA!" —Louis

It comes in a pack of two (one for each eye) and one side is the stamp, with the other being a regular eyeliner pen!
Promising review: "I'm extremely picky with products, just to start out. I don't actually have any issues with winged liner but I've been dealing with some shaking issues so thought this might make my routine easier. Not a lot of trial and error, it''s very simple to use, and creates a lovely and slightly curved wing. Now PERSONALLY I prefer a wing that is straight, but that's just preference and no reflection on the product's efficiency. Now about the formula, I'm impressed. I was thinking that I could always go over it w/my regular eyeliner but I found that unnecessary. The liner pen tip didn't drag or skip, it's a very bold and solid black that dries quickly and has amazing staying power, seriously. My normal go-to liquid liner is Stila Stay All Day and I would say this is a comparable formula at a very reasonable price. It actually far outdoes the Tarte and Kat Von D liquid liners for sure. I would go as far as to say even if I hated the stamp, the liner alone is worth it, if the stamp doesn't work out for you then you have two new very good liquid liners." —SaintLee

Promising review: "I got a sample pack of this when I had a new disposer installed and it worked well. I had previously been cleaning the disposer with frozen lemons, baking soda, and vinegar. This is so much easier and it smells great. I love how the blue foam puffs back up in the sink as it works." —Tisha
