Sometimes keeping acne under control means washing your face multiple times a day, but it can be hard to find the time. That's where these face pads come in. We love how you can just keep them in a bag and do a quick cleanse anytime to reduce acne and clear up skin in no time. Plus, they're non-drying and gentle.

And really, this is great for more than just cords. I also use this to wrap up hoses, hold back curtains, and even sometimes to organize my closet when I need to keep a few dresses bundled together out of the way. They've got great stretch, and even better staying power.

You never know when a hangnail or a tear is going to ruin your day, which is why you've got to have these clippers on hand. They're great, durable, and easy to use so you can take care of any nail catastrophe that might occur during your day-to-day goings on.

Okay, if you try hard enough, I'm sure you could still lose one of these, but it would be really hard because they're magnetic! No more trying to fumble through a drawer in the hopes you find the right spoon, they're all stuck together for ease of use and search.

Good things come in small packages and that's especially true of these awesome cutting board feet. You can add them to any board you've got and they'll allow you to cut on without worrying about slipping or sliding that could lead to some nasty knife accidents.

My brother tends to get a little overwhelmed when he's in crowds or in any situation that's louder than normal. These ear plugs allow him to block out just a little bit of that annoying and sometimes overwhelming sound. They come in pretty colors, but are still discreet enough that no one needs to know you're wearing them.

You don't really think about highlighters after school, but you should really have them around all the time! You never know what's going to need to be highlighted and they can be pretty helpful for planning and organizing - it's hard to ignore those bright colors when you're looking at something.

A bluetooth keyboard is a must if you don't have one already. It allows you to use multiple monitors without having to rely on your stationary laptop keyboard.

These washing machine tablets are the perfect trifecta of cleaning products - they are inexpensive, they're easy to use, and they work!

But this! This works! It's like magic. AND you get a whole year's worth of tablets in the box. I cannot stress enough how much I love these.

No pun intended there! This mouse is my favorite and I use it, literally, every day. It makes my daily office work a lot easier than trying to navigate with a track pad and the gorgeous color options it comes in really brighten up my office, and my day.

I tried these incredibly popular foot peels, and it was entirely worth it. A few days after application my feet started to peel, and then, they started to PEEL.

Check out the more than 6,000 glowing reviews (and hundreds of satisfyingly gross reviewer photos) to see what fuss is all about.

You won’t be disappointed.

My coworker is obsessed with these pillows: "For less than $40 I got two pillows in a strangely small box. About 15 minutes after unpacking them, they lofted into the fullest, squishiest pillows I've owned. They're the perfect mix of invitingly soft, yet perfectly supportive. Easily the best pillows in our house, and a ridiculous value for the price."

This is another one of those cheap-yet-genius upgrades I wish we'd made ten years ago.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with Wonderskin’s viral lip stain. This is a really cool, fun-to-apply product that lasts all day — and sometimes even longer!

Some reviewers (among over 15,000 of them) even report that the color lasts longer than 24 hours! There are lots of gorgeous shades to choose from, too.

These inexpensive sheets of detergent were a pretty transformative discovery in our household, replacing expensive pods and huge messy bottles of detergent. They take up less space than a box of dryer sheets, but hold enough detergent to wash 80 loads for under $15 (by my math, that's less than $0.20 per load). We opt for their fresh scent (a light, lemony smell), but they also offer unscented.

I love using this stuff on my keyboards, both at work and at home. It's also a great way to really get into the weird corners and odd spots in your car and on your desk. It sticks to and pulls up all the crumbs or dust or junk that you just can't get to no your own.

I bought a pack of these for myself and then my sister loved them so much I bought a pack for her. They're so pretty, so versatile, and so easy to use.

I've seen these pens floating all around TikTok and other various forms of social media over the last few months, and I've got to say; they're worth the hype!

It's a lot cuter than vanting to suck your blood, huh? This little Gracula garlic chomper helps you do the hardest part of any pasta night - macerate the garlic so it's ready to be thrown into your sauce or spread, along with butter, across your favorite loaf of Italian bread.

I know some of you out there are really into food prep and this is the scale for you! It's a great way to be sure you've got the exact right amount of everything in your meals.
