    38 Things That’ll Help Relieve Your Life From Some Small, Pesky Problems

    *Wipes off hands* — consider those annoying problems handled.

    1. A double-ended extension cord, because sometimes you need two but only have one outlet to spare. Go ahead, plug that lamp in! And that charger! And that router!

    2. A car visor extender so you can freakin' see the road when ~golden hour~ makes it impossible. It blocks up to 99.9% of UVA and UVB rays, reduces glare, dims brightness — and your eyeballs are about to be so happy.

    3. Blister prevention patches you apply to the areas in your shoes where you feel the most discomfort. The squishy, thin patches reduce friction so your feet can feel happy as you run errands — or marathons, if you're into that sorta thing.

    4. And if you do encounter a painful blister, a compact case of hydrocolloid bandages with a gel guard designed to treat blisters while you wear them. Plus, they're super sticky and cushy so they'll stay on and give you extra support.

    5. A life-changing shoe powder that kills odor-causing bacteria and keeps your best shoes from smelling like death. Hot summer days are approaching fast — now you and your feet can get through them stink-free.

    6. The Tidy Cup, a handy little invention that catches all those excess little drips your mega-sized laundry detergent + softener bottles like to leave mounds of for you to discover on your shelves later.

    7. And while were on the topic of laundry (so exciting!), a magnetic washer/dryer guard to prevent your socks and tiny garments from tragically slipping behind. I mean, who knows what lurks beneath those appliances...

    8. Double and, a Dropps subscription — a way to have laundry detergent delivered straight to ya (just order how many work for your washing needs and it'll be shipped out every four months). Never run out of your best suds again!

    9. A teeny bottle of touchup paint that'll restore furniture back to its original glory days. Scratches, chips, and stains, WHO?

    10. A "Bacon Bin" — aka your new *smart* way to dispose of grease, because we do not pour grease down the drain! No we do not. When you've got a piping hot pan of grease and no where to pour, grab this and you're set!

    11. A stain repellent spray for your handbags (especially your pricier ones!) that'll create an invisible protective layer and ward off the evils of rain and denim stains.

    12. A manual scalp massager brush that can not only help you relax on hectic days, but reduce pesky flakiness and oily build-up from regular use of hair products. Dandruff has no room in your house!

    13. And for a more in-depth cleaning, a clarifying shampoo you can use once a week in place of your usual shampoo to remove the residue left behind from heavy hair products.

    14. A pair of LITERAL dog leggings (!!!) to protect your puppos feets from ~the elements~ while protecting your floors (and sanity) from a track of muddy paw prints.

    15. A zipper puller for zipping up your favorite dress *all the way*, even when there's no one around to give you a hand. Honestly, this is genius.

    16. Sheet pan dividers that are microwave-, dishwasher-, and oven-safe to make cooking and prepping an actual breeze. Cook what you want, how you want, without the annoyance of bake times for separate foods. With these, you can remove what you need when you need!

    17. A reusable menstrual cup that comes with a protective case you can toss in your bag so when Mother Nature arrives, you're ready. Stop dealing with the hassle of always having to have 56 tampons on you, and switch this sustainable option that lets you wear it for up to 12 hours.

    18. And to help with pesky cramps, a small heating patch made with lemon balm, juniper berry, jasmine, dandelion root, rosehip, and without harsh chemicals. Simply apply to achey parts of the body and the patch will heat up to provide relief.

    19. A French manicure kit that comes with everything you need, including half-moon guides to create the perfect tip. Struggling to do a perfect line with your non-dominant hand is so last year.

    20. LED-dimming stickers so you can sleep in complete peace (and darkness!) and not be bothered by obnoxiously flashing router and console lights.

    21. EveryPlate — a meal subscription service that'll send ya everything you need for some stress-feel dinners. Don't stress about going to the store, wasting food, or wondering what the heck to make, because this budget-friendly service does all the work for you.

    22. A cable box for hiding away the cord tumbleweed under your furniture because the only bowl of spaghetti we want is the one we can eat.

    23. Shower curtain clips that simply attach to your shower walls to ensure water stays on the *inside* of the tub. IDK about you, but I sure don't want to spend my days moppin' up water when I don't have to!

    24. A variety pack of delicious chocolate that's made without soy, dairy, palm oil, cane and refined sugar, and sugar alcohols — meaning you finally just found an actually delicious sweet that meets your expectations and/or dietary needs. The frustrating hunt is over, my friends.

    25. Bed bands for keeping your fitted sheet in its dang place for once, because we don't have time nor the patience to fight with our bedding.

    26. A subscription to NordVPN so you can surf the web and protect your data without wondering how much of your info is being tracked or fearing your data will be stolen. Go ahead — enter your credit card info while on that public WiFi network.

    27. "Icebreaker" — your new, drama-free (have you ever battled an ice cube tray, trying to get cubes out, just to have them all pop out??!) way to make, freeze, and pour ice with truly the most minimal effort. Simply fill the box with water, freeze, and then pull apart to release the cubes. Pour in your drink, and voila:

    28. A bra strap extender to give you room to breathe (like, literally breathe). It won't be quite as great as the feeling of whipping your bra off at the end of a long day, but it'll come veeeery close.

    29. A pie crust shield you simply attach before popping in the oven to prevent burnt edges. Your MIL can never say a THING about your pies now!

    30. A Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser that can be used on dry skin as a makeup remover, or on wet skin as a hydrating face wash. Either way, sorry to your other skincare products that'll never see the light of day after you bring this baby home. Reducing one step of your skincare routine? Yes! Please!

    31. A versatile clip to keep your bag off of the dang floor. Seriously, you can use this thing on grocery carts, stall doors, tables, chairs, and in soooo many other public places.

    32. A clever little water bottle ideal for outdoor workouts and jogs. It comes with a secret compartment in which you can store cash, cards, and keys.

    33. A two-toned silicone case for your AirPods because you did NOT spend your $$$ for these to get scratched and broken. Although, this will not prevent you from losing the...sadly.

    34. A dual-blade package opener for *safely* (safely being the key word here) opening up boxes, bottles, and mail. You know, 'cause it's not the best idea to use a giant butcher knife to slice through boxes!

    35. A three-compartment lid organizer that'll put an end to the days of lid waterfalls. You know — it happens when you're just innocently opening up your cabinets and then every single plastic lid tumbles out on you.

    36. A scratch remover system to rid your car of dreaded paint marks, because someone had the NERVE to swipe your ride and leave...or because you accidentally hit your garage (but we can stick with the first story 😉).

    37. A retractable lib balm holder — and may you never again lose another ChapStick to the depths of your purse, jacket, drawer, and car. Good luck.

    38. And lastly, anti-mold pads for extending the life of allllll the fruit and veggies you just optimistically bought at the store. These will give you a chance to actually eat them before they go bad!
