You're great and reliable, don't get me wrong, but these products will help you be **even more so**! Isn't that the dream?
Each serving (two gummies) contains three mg of melatonin, so you shouldn't feel any side effects right after taking them or the next day.
Promising review: "For decades, I've been plagued by various levels of insomnia. My normal routine would include heading to bed at a slightly-later-than-reasonable hour, contemplating my excessive workload, becoming exasperated about any upcoming social plans, growing anxious after reflecting further and realizing that I basically have no social life, and wondering why I had that sixth cup of coffee in the afternoon. Before you know it, it's 4:11 a.m. and I'm incredulous, ruminating about where I went wrong in my life. That was before an angel referred me to these. Combining the perfect texture of Welch's fruit snacks and the nostalgic flavor of Children's Dimetapp, these gummies' relaxing effects are felt within minutes, with a good night's sleep always soon to follow. Yes, I have had some bizarre dreams since taking this product, but they are a small price to pay for peaceful rest." —Daniel

Promising review: "I have heavy lids that have deflated after major weight loss and now sit ON my lashline. Because of this, any eyeliner will transfer right? If I sweat or cry, I'll have a copy of the perfect line I made somewhere on the upper lid, right? Well, I was trying them all with NO luck no matter what they cost or claimed! Then I bought this one. Unfortunately this one came just as I was about to give it the ultimate test. My husband of almost 40 years passed away after fighting cancer for four years. He was my everything and I still love him with everything I have. He died at home with me four weeks ago and I have worn this to the funeral and every day since. I've shed buckets of tears and because it's in the 90s with 100% humidity here in Ohio, I've sweat rivers too. But not one transfer, smudge, or fade away! I hope you NEVER have to worry about your liner under circumstances anything like this but if you cry happy tears or sweat, you can count on this one more than any other one I've tried!" —Maureen Spaulding

Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

Promising review: "It's perfect for travel. This shirt performed exactly as promised! No ironing, no wrinkles, and no stains after a full day of airport shuffling! Love it!" —2DotPeg
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes 0/2-20/22 and in 13 colors/prints) or Chico's for $79.50 (available in sizes 0/2-20/22 regular and 2P-16/18P petite and in five colors).
Promising review: "This stain remover keeps working again and again on clothing that I thought for sure was ruined. It works best if you rub it in with an old toothbrush and let it sit for a few minutes, overnight is best in my experience. In some cases, the enzymes work by themselves and dissolve the stain before the item is even washed. This stuff works better than every Pinterest method that I have tried, including Dawn dish soap, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, etc.! The mini bottle is perfect for keeping one at work or in the car, and I purchase the refill bag to fill up both the small bottles and larger spray bottles that we keep at home." —Amanda

These are made of Tritan plastic, which is more durable than regular plastic.
Promising review: "The box says these are dishwasher-safe and you can expect to hand these glasses to your grandchildren as an heirloom because they will retain their quality. I believe it. I've tried to abuse these glasses (dropping them, dishwasher, using them as kids' cups, etc.) and haven't found a scratch or blemish. On the shelf and in the hand, they look like glass. I'm having great fun dropping these for the uninitiated." —Marc

Promising review: "I work in front of a screen all day and had recently been getting headaches due to blue light exposure. You can clearly see the change of color when you put these on, and they've made a world of difference for me. And you can't beat the price! I highly recommend!!" —kwatson
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors).
Promising review: "I don't get why people like PopSockets. They are extremely uncool and bulky. Since I have a deep-seated fear of developing iPhone claw hand and a long history of dropping my phone and shattering screens (my claim to fame is that Bella Hadid and I go to the same screen repair place), I needed to find something that allowed me to hold my phone with my fingers but wasn't totally lame. I noticed that my friend's cool German mom was using a sleek iPhone strap at dinner one night, and I ordered one on Amazon for $2.50 less than a standard PopSocket. It lays completely flat and is the perfect size for my middle and ring finger. While I hear that PopSockets constantly break, my sturdy phone strap has never failed me. One time, a stranger on the subway asked me where I got it! I am a trendsetter." —Maggie Schultz

Promising review: "DRENCH this thing. Get it SOAKING, SOPPING WET and everything from waterproof mascara to false eyelash glue to lip stains just melts right off with a few gentle glides across your face. IF YOU HAVE TO RUB, IT IS NOT WET ENOUGH. Seriously. When it's adequately wet, a gentle glide is all you need to erase the makeup from your face. DON'T WRING IT OUT after wetting it. If you do, it will be too dry. If you don't want it to drip, then BARELY wring the end of the cloth, but keep the rest fully soaked. TRUST ME, it will work for you. I have sensitive skin and even mildly abrasive things, like certain makeup brushes, will cause irritation. This is the most effective makeup remover I've ever used and it is so soft and gentle. I'm gifting every girl in my life this for Christmas." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in other colors, like black, purple, and turquoise).

And if you're like me and still have an ancient iPhone 6, then the number of charges you get is even higher! I own this baby and it's been LIFE-CHANGING, especially when you're traveling and out all day. If you don't need multiple charges, you can get a more compact, lipstick-sized charger.
Promising review: "Initially purchased this for a trip to an amusement park where I would be using my phone heavily to take pics, video, track kids, and purchases. I was able to fully charge my phone twice and still had about half the power left on this battery pack." —Juan G. Urbaez

Promising review: "I just want to start by saying I’m normally pretty skeptical when buying any beauty product online, but this one actually works. I occasionally get hormonal acne around my chin that is red and inflammation, so I put a patch on all the numbs and wore it all day. When I took it off this evening I was surprised to see that the inflammation was nearly all gone, and not to mention the patch helped me from picking at it all day. The patch also blends in very well with my medium skin tone." —PJ

Just snap it together (no tools required), and the cells will expand to fit your drawer size!
Promising review: "Perhaps one of the better non-basket style ways to organize small clothing pieces in a drawer that I've found to date. I tried another style that allows for size customization but found the unit to always shift during use. This piece remains in place after it's set up in the drawer. It allows me to keep track of socks and other small pieces of clothing and I can easily see if I need to replace items that get worn over time. (Or if I'm losing one too many socks to the dryer monster.) I personally did not need to trim the plastic pieces to fit in my drawer, but if one did, it would require a sturdy pair of scissors." —Marilyn
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
Promising review: "I kept my nails polished with this bitter stuff for about two weeks. I was aware every time I put my fingers to my mouth and had gained so much progress that I would have been devastated if I ruined it. So for the last two weeks I haven't worn the stuff but my nails keep growing. I have bitten since I was a kid. I am now on the path to normal-looking fingers. I still play with my nails on my teeth but I don't actually bite anymore. It's never too late to make a change!" —bexter91

Promising review: "It's a deep black and lasts through 100% humidity and 100 degree heat in a Mexican jungle while hiking without smearing or budging. No raccoon eyes, not even when crying and smudging. Comes off easily with waterproof makeup remover. Love the brush too — it lengthens lashes without crumbling or flaking, and volumizes too." —cmt4wa
Get it from Sephora for $22.
I also *personally* recommend the original Buxom Lash Mascara in case you're in the market for a non-waterproof mascara. It holds up fairly well but makes my lashes look longer, fuller, and nicely separated (aka not clumped)!

Of course, you don't have to use it inside of a purse — it can easily sit at home as a makeup organizer and whatever else you need it for!
Promising review: "Extremely pleased with the number of pockets, sturdy construction, and built-in water bottle pocket. It fits well into my large Longchamp Le Pliage Tote with room to spare on the side for a 13" MacBook Pro. The water bottle pocket holds my insulated Klean Kanteen snugly and the side pockets are more than enough to store a charging cable, earbuds, chapstick, keys, glasses cleaner, etc. Made such a big difference with my work bag and now I don't have to rummage around endlessly to retrieve an item!" —Grace Ho

Promising review: "These things work so much better than the laundry bags we used to use. They do a much better job of protecting delicates and can really hold a surprising amount. The zippers on these are very well made, open and close easily, don't have any jagged teeth exposed, and have proved to be very durable so far. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again." —JMac

I bought these to clean up gnarly scratches on my Away carry-on (as a result of checking it in :/ because I wanted my full-sized skincare products ok) and they worked like a charm!
Promising review: "Basically the best cleaning tool ever. Walls, counters, sinks, toys, you name it, I've used a Magic Eraser on it. We have a lightly-colored sink basin in the kitchen and I use these once a week to keep it sparkling white. I used to have to use heavy-duty cleaner, but just a quick wipe down with the Magic Eraser and it's good as new!" —seven4eleven

Promising review: "I am so glad I purchased this chopper! I love all the different attachments to chop, slice, and dice different items. I like that the food is contained — no more losing pieces on the counter or floor. This is especially great with onions. I haven't cried chopping onions since using this! Clean up is also a breeze, which I think is everyone's goal!" —Mandy C.

Promising review: "I love this slicer! I rarely write reviews, but this literally changed my life. I have fibromyalgia and have trouble gripping things. I also have a host of tiny scars on my hands from cutting myself instead of the vegetables. I am stunned by how easy this is to use and the protection it gives my hands! And it's low-tech! And it cleans easily! I'm still having trouble believing that a $13 product is doing so much to make my life easier and more painless." —Theresa
Promising review: "I cannot explain how good this feels! It relaxes you and it for sure is better than just using your fingertips to shampoo your hair. It actually gets down to the roots and makes sure that it gets into all the spots to clean your hair. My hair has never felt smoother than after I started using this product." —Romie Patel

Looking for some scalp-care products to accompany your brush? Ya' got it!
Promising review: "It's official. I'm a believer. I've heard the rave reviews of the Wet brushes, but I thought it was probably a lot of hype. I have long, super thick hair that's straight but tangles easily. I've dealt with knots for years and just thought that was a part of the deal if I wanted to keep my hair long. Not with this little brush. Four strokes and the knots are G.O.N.E. Seriously, I don't know what kind of magic it performs but it's awesome — it untangles my hair every time, and fast!" —Crystal Cooper

Promising review: "I haven’t had an alarm clock in my bedroom in over three years because I can’t stand how bright the lights are. I was hesitant to buy another alarm clock, but wanted to give the sunrise feature a try. I love it! Firstly, There are several colors lights change, and they are all pretty. And I can completely dim the clock’s light while I sleep, so I’m not bothered by the illuminated clock at night. I then set the sunrise feature to begin 40 minutes before wake up, and set the alarm to the nature sounds. It has completely changed the way I sleep and wake up and begin the day. The sunrise feature slowly wakes me up, and the nature sounds for the alarm are soothing and pleasant instead of the usual jarring blare of an alarm clock. This wake up light helps me to wake up without disturbing my partner too. Totally worth the money. Definitely recommend." —Evan
Get it from Amazon for $38.88. For a higher-end option, there's the Phillips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock.

Promising review: "This product has changed my life; I will never cook without it again. I seriously use it about five days a week. The first time you use it to cook chicken you will be like, 'Ohmygod, I have never eaten real chicken before.' Now when I shop, I buy in bulk and use my FoodSaver to pre-portion and freeze everything and I always have my Anova on the counter so I can drop in a bag of chicken or veggies, and presto! Best of all, you don’t need to cook with oils/butter. Your food is 100% more delicious and 100% more nutritious. Since getting mine as a gift, I’ve purchased it for many family members and friends!" —Stephanie Needham

No more waiting for boiling water. Or wandering off and forgetting about your pot until it overflows (I'm not saying I'm not guilty of this).
Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I try to limit my monthly food expenditures and the Fasta Pasta helps me work in at least one inexpensive pasta meal every week, if not more. First of all, I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot and then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap. No big pot; no colander; no spaghetti fork to lift out the pasta. Just the easy to clean Fasta Pasta, and a pot to heat up the sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Smilin Sam

Promising review: "I love that I can choose whether each plug is front-facing or turned to the side — makes for great cord management. I also love that the design uses the TOP plug on the outlet. So many I've found use the bottom plug and all those reviewers complain that the weight of the adapters/cords pull the thing out of the wall. Finally, I like the versatility of being able to screw it into the outlet center point if you need the additional stability, but also that you don't have to do that if you want something more easily removable." —Susan B.

Promising review: "For the longest time I wanted to set up an iPad on the cabinet in the kitchen. I wanted my wife to be able to see all her Pinterest recipes and connect it to our Bluetooth speakers. I wanted to have it in the kitchen without needing to look for it or have it sit on the counter. As soon as I saw Sugru Moldable glue I knew I had a winner. Not too long ago I bought an iPad stand for much more, but I don't need it anymore. The iPad stand takes real estate on my counter, and it can accidentally fall down or get wet. Now I have it where I need it. Perfect. I also use Sugru for broken iPhone cable chargers and put it under my garbage can, so it doesn't slide around when I open and close it. I feel like MacGyver with Sugru. My wife is also using the iPad more." —Kristen and me

It's broken down into sections so you can organize their level of importance and timeliness, from "do or die" (making doctor's appointments!) to "oughta do" (cleaning out your fridge...).
Promising review: "I'm not sure how I got anything done at work before I got this pad. Used it all last year, and reordered because I don't think I could function without it. I don't use it as a mouse pad, just keep it next to my keyboard to organize my tasks for the week. I add little boxes next to what I list, so I can check them off. The paper is thick and doesn't bleed through even if I use a big marker to cross something out. The layout is perfect to organize what I need to do right away and what I can spread out over the week, anything that's not a huge focus but I don't want to completely forget I stick in the 'snowball in hell' section. It's been crucial for prioritizing my work week." —A. Koeth

I try to remember to get out of my chair once in a while and walk around the office, but oftentimes your workload just gets the best of you and all of a sudden it's 4 p.m. and your back/butt/spine/neck is killing you. :( Not anymore! P.S. the lining is machine-washable!
Promising review: "As an audiobook narrator, I spend a great deal of time propped on my bum. It's difficult to concentrate on the book you're narrating when your bum goes numb.

I thank you, and my listeners thank you." —J. Seybert
