    40 Things To Help You Feel Like Less Of A Trash Human In 2020

    Look, I'm just trying to improve by like 10% this year, ok?

    1. A 15-pack of meal prep containers to start your new decade off with some better habits if you're trying to stop ordering in multiple times a week.

    2. A copy of BuzzFeed's Tasty Everyday, a cookbook that'll inspire you during those meal prep Sundays ahead of your busy work week.

    3. A bottle of Glossier's Milky Jelly cleanser because it'll glide onto your skin like silk as it dissolves into your pores, cleansing them of any dirt that built up throughout the day. A simple skincare routine you can depend on really makes a huge difference day to day.

    4. A purse organizer so when you're going about your *busy life* you can easily (and quickly!) find your phone, wallet, keys, etc.

    5. A non-slip fridge liner so your can give yourself an added layer of protection against messy food. Because being older and going into a new decade means cleaning up after yourself.

    6. An eight-pack of Skyn Iceland's firming eye gels to de-puff your under eyes like nothing else can. These gels are so refreshing as they firm and tone (especially if you store them in the fridge). You'll be reaching for a pair of these after a late night.

    7. A 10-piece ceramic cooking set so you can finally stop cooking pasta in that pot you think was actually your roommate's from back in college.

    8. A FlexiSnake drain cleaner that'll remove nasty clogged hair quickly and painlessly — no more harsh chemicals down the drain or waiting impatiently for that sink puddle to disappear.

    9. A weekly pill organizer so you can be a responsible adult and take your medicine and vitamins daily and when you're supposed to! Might be hard to swallow, but this is super important.

    10. A water bottle that'll track the amount you drink in a day with colorful movable rings so you'll be ready to meet those 2020 water-related resolutions.

    11. A set of four packing cubes for any last-minute trips you might have next year. With these, you can fit everything you'll need so you don't feel panicked and unorganized.

    12. A bottle of wood polish to turn your run-down furniture and floors into stunning pieces you'll want to show off to everyone. Adulthood!

    13. A shirt folding board so you actually fold your laundry when it comes out of the dryer instead of clumping it all in a "clean pile" and procrastinating until the next laundry day.

    14. A bag of Bottle Bright tablets that'll clean your bottles, plastic containers, mugs, and everything else, with no scrubbing required. We love an all-natural, no-hassle way to clean!

    15. A visually stunning hanger stacker so you can spend an entire Sunday spring cleaning your closet for five hours, and end up with long-term organizational solutions. Only grown-ups brag about this kind of stuff.

    16. A stainless steel tongue scraper to help rid your mouth of the odor that sticks to your tongue after a delicious meal or three. Thank goodness you have this, otherwise the date you have later might, well, stink!

    17. A pack of makeup-remover cloths to gently and effectively remove all the makeup that's been soaking into your pores throughout the day. This will help minimize breakouts and also make you feel generally cleaner before bed each night. Try not to sleep in your makeup like you did all of 2019!

    18. A bottle of Ecotools makeup brush shampoo that'll clean your favorite tools so well they look how they did when you *first* brought them home. Clean makeup brushes = fewer breakouts, people!

    19. A bottle of earwax removal drops that'll do all the hard work for you. Gone are the days of using five cotton swabs just to get nothing out, even though you know there's still wax in there! Now you can hear when your mom says, "You're a whole new person this year!"

    20. An iRoller liquid-free screen cleaner to keep your monitor, laptop, and smartphone screens nice and smudge free in 2020.

    21. A flexible cable protector so you can prevent your charging cord from fraying after, like, two weeks. We all wish we bought this like three chargers ago, but now's your chance.

    22. A pack of 36 hydrocolloid acne absorbing patches to put on any unwanted pimples (are any pimples wanted?) overnight and — WOW — say goodbye to pus, oil, and inflammation in the morning.

    23. A personal password book because, like me, you keep adding a number to the end of your passwords and you've lost count and also lost sleep. Just keep your passwords all in one place so when you do forget, you'll be glad it's just a page away in your drawer.

    24. A cap cage so when you finally wash your dirty hats they'll keep their shape. 2020 is gonna be filled with next-level problem solving.

    25. A pack of divider sticky notes to help you organized your thoughts and keep you on track. Divide and conquer those final exams!

    26. An over-the-drain hair stopper, because 2020 is the decade of not having to un-clog your drains.

    27. An organizer for your desk so you can keep books and trinkets at your desk in a clean and personable way.

    28. A fabric defuzzer to make all of your fuzzy sweaters, throw pillows, and worn down furniture look like they just came from the store.

    29. A mini fabric steamer, because such a small detail can make a WORLD of difference when it comes to how professional and put-together you look.

    30. A wine vacuum stopper for those nights you think about finishing the whole bottle of wine before bed but decide not to. Yay, more wine for later!

    31. A drawer organizer so you can actually find your fave pair of socks and get out the door ON TIME for once!

    32. A pack of BootRescue cleaning wipes because your favorite pair of leather or suede shoes need some attention after they got stained from the salted snow.

    33. A bottle of Mavala Stop bitter-tasting nail varnish to help curb your nail-biting habit with a coat of something nasty. This will literally leave a bad taste in your mouth.

    34. A copy of BuzzFeed's The Goodful Cookbook: Simple and Balanced Recipes to Live Well, a book that'll bring so much joy and yummy food to your belly in 2020.

    35. A wine stain remover that'll magically erase all kinds of spills us trash-humans get on us (like coffee, blood, ink, and marinara sauce).

    36. A pack of charcoal oil absorbing tissues to confront your oily T-zone in the fastest manner possible. They're super absorbent and will be your go-to for years to come.

    37. Some silicone stretch lid covers, because you finally made food at home instead of ordering out and now you have to store your food properly so it doesn't go to waste. Speaking of waste, these will help rid your life of one-use plastics!

    38. A 100% natural soy wax candle meant for anyone with a pet in their home so they can eradicate those funky smells that come along with those adorable faces.

    39. A straight-up miraculous foot peel to heel your cracked feet and help you shed dead skin that's been grossing you out for months.

    40. A pet hair remover roller, because your living room feels no longer livable every time you try and snuggle up on the couch and start having a sneezing fit!
