    22 Products That May Not Seem That Glam, But They're Actually Pretty Genius

    Gonna be wracking my brain for some genius ideas of my own!

    1. A pack of food-saving papers that'll keep your baked goods from spoiling before you get a chance to chow down. Each sheet is reusable and can last for up to a month!

    2. A vibrating skin scrubber that'll shake dirt and grime right out of your pores. Reviewers say it even removes stubborn blackheads — and the super-high frequency will help skincare absorb deeper into your dermis, too.

    3. A pack of aromatherapy patches for when you need a little midday pick-me-up. Not only are they easy to apply (just stick 'em on your mask!), but each one can last for up to 48 hours, too.

    4. An icy massage roller that won't melt or drip everywhere whenever you're craving some cold therapy. The grippy base will keep it from slipping from your grasp and can even double as a secondary massager.

    5. A weighted skort so you can strut your stuff (and feel the burn, too). The weights are tucked into concealed pockets at hip level, which means less strain on your joints while you're getting your sweat on.

    6. A set of picture-hanging Command Strips that'll save you from knocking another hole in your wall. Each pair is strong enough to hold up to eight pounds, so you won't have to sacrifice your style in favour of physics.

    7. A lidded ice tray that'll make long frosty rods — perfect for tucking into your water bottle. Reviewers say it's the best tray they've ever used and love that the silicone lid keeps ice from evaporating or absorbing nasty freezer smells.

    8. A rechargeable book light so you can read your favourite times without waking your partner. You’ll only need to charge it for 90 minutes to reach max power, and it’ll last for up to eight hours on the brightest setting.

    9. A pair of towel scrunchies that'll suck the moisture off your mane and help you cut down on blow-dry time. Plus, they're made of soft microfibre that won't damage weak or brittle hair.

    10. A pack of microneedle pimple patches that'll fight pimples before they even appear — no, seriously! The teensy dissolving needles deliver their magical acne-fighting powers right to the heart of the zit so it won't pop up when you least expect it.

    11. A collapsible water bottle that'll fold up flat when you're done quenching your thirst. It can stand upright when it's full of liquid and even comes with a handy carabiner for when you're on the go.

    12. A pack of green juice tablets if you just don't have the time to blend up your own. Each tablet contains a mix of eight healthy greens (like spirulina, spinach, and kale) and contains more vitamin C than six oranges.

    13. A headache-relieving beanie that'll cool down your noggin and help ease fevers, migraines, and even hangovers. The gel packs stay frosty longer than ice, while providing a bit of compression therapy in the process.

    14. A pair of period undies if you're sick to death of wasteful pads and tampons. Whether you're looking for an extra layer of protection or wanna completely replace your other products, they'll keep you comfy, dry, and feelin' spry.

    15. A set of rolling shower hooks that'll completely transform your bathing experience (and no, I'm not joking). Gone is the rattle, drag, and scrape of traditional hooks — these babies glide like butter and won't leave rust stains on your curtain, either.

    16. A pack of ingrown hair wipes that'll reduce razor burn and keep your skin smooth and bump-free after hair removal. Each wipe is pre-moistened so you'll never have to guess if you're using enough product, either.

    17. A set of Bluetooth speakers that'll give you surround sound in a flash. They come pre-paired and can be connected with a powerful built-in magnet when you want more ~intense~ sound.

    18. A light-up wipe warmer because there's nothing more jarring than dragging something chilly and wet across your bum. It's equipped with a petite nightlight, too, so you'll be able to give your tushy a clean without having to turn on the overheads.

    19. A stainless steel finger guard that'll protect your digits when you're slicing and dicing. It's slim and unobtrusive, which means you won't feel clumsy while you're chopping (and it won't get rusty after a few uses).

    20. A sanitizing case that'll disinfect all your dental ~accoutrements~ at the touch of a button. It's big enough for retainers, night guards, tooth brush heads, and just about anything else that needs a good de-germing.

    21. A pair of silicone pinch-lock bags that'll protect your stuff when you're out and about. They're totally waterproof so your charger, phone, or other important items won't get damaged if something leaks in your bag.

    22. And lastly, a tube of multipurpose deodorant that'll banish stink and keep chafing at bay, too. It's safe to use on every inch of your body (I mean it!) — a blessing during scorching summers or strenuous gym workouts.

    Wish I'd thought of these first, TBH.
