    21 Things That’ll Help You Be A Better Adult This Month

    A hangover-curing drink, acetone-free nail polish remover, an adjustable posture corrector, and other useful things that might help you feel like a good grown-up.

    1. A hangover-prevention drink that may rescue you from pulsing headaches after you have one too many drinks on a Tuesday night...and there's a presentation for work at 10 a.m. the next morning.

    2. A journal for collecting recipes passed down from your family and jotting down spontaneous creations that turn out unexpectedly well. "Darn, how did I make that amazing tofu dish last time?? If only I had written it down!!!" — not you.

    3. A pair of banana-shaped shoe deodorizers to eliminate the ripest of smells. They're designed to absorb moisture and are infused with lavender, lemon, patchouli, and tea tree essential oils.

    4. A ring sizing gauge so you can find out what your ring size is once and for all. You'll be able to order jewelry online without breaking out in nervous sweats.

    5. A 5-in-1 wine corker that can also be an aerator, pourer, filter, and leak-proof stopper. Can't finish a bottle in one sitting? Just pop this in and it'll keep your booze fresh for the next wine night.

    6. A chic convertible daypack perfect for your daily commute or traveling. It's aesthetically pleasing *and* practical — there are plenty of pockets and compartments for all your essentials.

    7. A washer door prop to help air out the machine and prevent mold and mildew odors from forming inside. Bonus: it's super cute.

    8. The Little Book of Mindfulness — it's filled with simple five- to ten-minute practices that might help you feel a little less stressed and a little more present.

    9. A roll of stainless steel wipes that'll restore your fridge, oven, and sink to a shiny, spotless state.

    10. A humorous handbook for anyone who wishes to be a responsible adult but isn't sure where to start. Unlike running errands and filing taxes, this book won't be a chore to read.

    11. An incredibly warm and stylish down puffer jacket to help you survive the rest of winter — your mom will be so happy that you finally decided to bundle up instead of freezing your butt off in a wool coat in sub-zero weather.

    12. A gentle, acetone-free polish remover so you can easily wipe away dark, glittery shades without drying or stripping your nails. The best part? It won't leave your hands smelling like chemicals.

    13. An adjustable posture corrector that'll remind you to slouch less and stand up straight, especially if your poor posture is triggering back and shoulder pain.

    14. A productivity timer for anyone who has trouble focusing on their tasks (or remembering to take a break) during the work day.

    15. A stackable two-tier organizer drawer to give your under-sink cabinet (aka the cabinet-that-shall-never-be-opened) a dramatic makeover. Now you'll *want* to show it off.

    16. A small car trash can for keeping the backseat area clean and tidy. Nothing says "I've got my life together" like a pristine car interior.

    17. A collapsible tote that can fit several loads of laundry (because let's be honest, you're not washing your clothes every week) and folds down easily for storage.

    18. A pack of flexibility cards perfect for your pre-workout warm up and post-workout cool down. After all, stretching properly is just as important as doing the actual exercises.

    19. A flexible dish squeegee to swipe leftover food off the plates and into the trash before soaking or loading them into the dishwasher. It'll prevent your garbage disposal from getting clogged (yet again!).

    20. Charlie — an adorable and artificially intelligent penguin who will help you budget and manage your money better. It's a free financial service and works via SMS text or Facebook messenger so there are no apps to download.

    21. A cookbook filled with budget-friendly plant-based recipes that might inspire you to eat out less and whip up some delicious meals at home.

    You, finally getting your budget on track this year:
