    Because it's about time to get yourself together.

    Promising review: "This has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever purchased! I can't believe how easily it grabs all the debris that finds its way to the bottom of your bag." —QueenofGnomes

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors).

    2. A box of Crest 3D whitening strips to help get rid of soda, coffee, or wine stains for far less money than you might've thought. Just use them once a day for 30 minutes and you'll see professional-level changes in no time!

    Promising review: "Highly recommended!!!! I am stunned by the results of this product!! I really wanted to whiten my teeth but professional treatments are so expensive. I decided to go ahead and give this a try. I used exactly as directed every day for the full 20 days, and my husband kept telling me how white my teeth were getting. It's hard to tell when you look in the mirror everyday, but I knew there was improvement. Then, I looked at the before and after photos and I was amazed. Love this product!!!" —beaufam

    3. A pet hair remover so good you might not recognize your couch after just one use! And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...

    Promising review: "I am allergic to cats so here I am with two cats that shed a lot. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi

    Get it from Amazon for $28.95.

    4. Dimmable stick-on lights for under your cabinets so you can go to the kitchen for your midnight snack without facing the harshness of your overhead light. Each strip has adhesive backing, so no need to whip out the tool belt for this project.

    Includes a remote that can adjust the brightness.

    Promising review: "This is a wonderful product; just what I wanted. Super easy to install and I love that it breaks off into sections so you don’t have any hanging over to hide. The remote is awesome and there are lots of brightness settings. I’m going to use these everywhere!" —Queen Halloween

    Get the six-piece kit from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three light colors).

    5. A colorfully chic maxi dress with geometric prints that'll help you show off your ~acute~ side!

    Promising review: "This dress is super cute and lightweight! I really love the fabric. It has some stretch to it, but not too much. I love how it just swings back and forth when I walk. The colors are so pretty, especially now that it is summer. I ordered this dress to wear to nice occasions, and I’ve received many compliments. People always want to know where I bought it! If you're looking for a pretty and comfortable dress, this one is perfect for you! You will love it! 💜💜" —Jenn Butterfield

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and in 33 patterns).

    Promising review: "I was looking for something to deal with my chronic and debilitating sciatic nerve pain. I saw someone use a similar device at my gym and decided to give it a shot. It has been short of a miracle. I have been using it daily after work when I am most stressed and along with gentle stretches, it has helped SO much. This one was fairly priced, the size is perfect for me to carry it in my bag after long car rides, and there are different speeds, which I also like. I'm really happy with it. My husband is too." —Eileen Fuentes

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in three colors).

    9. A pack of trendy, nonslip velvet hangers that take up less space in your closet, which means you can hang more in there. And with swivel hooks, you spend less time fighting your clothes and more time buying new ones.

    Promising review: "These hangers are beautiful and functional, I just love them! They hold my clothes on the hanger to an extent I didn't think was possible. I can hang some of my sweaters and they don't get pulled out of shape because the velvet grips the fabric and the garment's weight is more gently distributed. I can't explain what a difference these made in my closet. Everything from tank tops to skirts to sweaters hangs beautifully on these. I use them exclusively, I threw out all my old plastic hangers. The rose gold color of the hooks is beautiful and gleams gently, adding some eye-catching sophistication to my closet. I like for my room to be pretty and photogenic, and these fit right in. I highly recommend them." —Campfire30

    Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    Promising reviews: “I am so happy I bought these storage containers. They keep my vegetables fresh.” —Davina L.

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

    30. A set of four acrylic canisters perfect for storing cotton swabs, cotton balls, and cotton pads. Because keeping them in their drab cardboard and plastic packaging is not OK anymore.

    34. A silicone freezing tray for saving sauces, soups, smoothies and more. Because yesterday's leftovers are today's meals. Yep, meal prep just got a whole lot easier.

    Souper Cubes is a small biz making freezing and storing freezer-friendly foods ~souper~ easy.

    Promising review: "This is great. It's such an elegant solution to portion sizing, and especially freezing leftovers. I recently made a meat sauce, portioned out the leftovers, and put it in the freezer. It's so easy to remove frozen portions, then bag/vacuum pack for longer storage in the freezer. After reading reviews of similar products from other brands (with people saying their off-brand version keeps shedding dust, flimsy design, leaking, not acting like foodgrade silicone, can't put in oven, etc.), Souper Cubes is the only brand I will buy. I am so impressed, I plan to grow my collection of Souper Cubes. It deserves more than 5 stars (I've never said that about a product before)." —Therese

    Get it from Souper Cubes on Amazon for $19.95.

    40. A waterproof notepad for anyone who hates it when you get a great shower idea and then forget the second you dry off. Use this eco-friendly pad and soy ink pen to jot down your best and brightest ideas.
