Life is just too short to go through it without finding some form or other of clever tricks, tips and gadgets to help you along! Thankfully, the Internet has made finding such gems a whole lot easier…
Here’s just a sample of some of the hottest products on Amazon now that will make your life easier.
A container to keep your guac fresh
Casabella Guac-Lock Container, $23, Amazon
Guacamole has a nasty habit of going bad really fast when you leave it in the fridge. This container claims to solve that problem by creating a hermetic seal, and then pumping the remaining air out of the container. Since oxygen is responsible for guac turning brown, the more you remove from the container, the less likely your guac is to go bad!
“Magic” Moldable Glue
Sugru Moldable Glue, $16, Amazon
Basically like sticky putty on steroids. Use it for dozens of purposes, including for use in wet, dry, hot or cold environments. This glue’s outer surface hardens while the inner surface holds fast, all the while maintaining elasticity – basically, it’s play-dough textured glue that turns to rubber when it dries. It’s basically the Flubber of home repairs!
A spill-proof travel mug
Contigo Autoseal Transit Stainless Steel Mug, $33, Amazon
Serve the dual purpose of saving the environment and avoiding a couple of headaches with the Contigo Autoseal mug. The spring-loaded button seals tightly to keep your beverage warm and prevent it from escaping the cup. The rotating top then locks the button into its sealed position – even when tightly packed among other things in your bag, the button can’t be pressed to unseal! It’s the perfect travel mug, and well worth the price.
An essential oil diffuser for the car
InnoGear USB Car Essential Oil Diffuser, $28, Amazon
Essential oil diffusers are an awesome way to instill a pleasant atmosphere into any space – so why not your car? This one is specially designed to work via a USB port and fits into any standard cup holder! It’s sure to make your commutes much more zen.
An aromatherapy necklace
Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace, $11, Amazon
Does it sound too good to be true? Well, for once it’s not! This necklace will let you walk around all day with the soothing aroma of essential oils. It also comes with 12 multicoloured refill pads, so you can switch up the look – and the smell – of this necklace.
One pressure cooker to rule them all!
Instant Pot, $254, Amazon
If the Instant Pot had a Instagram, it would be bigger than the Kardashians. This kitchen appliance is insanely popular— probably because it does everything in its one 6-quart pot. It's a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, slow cooker, frying pan, and it even makes yogurt! It's a little like a crock pot, but instead of waiting all day for something to cook, it cooks in less than an hour. By next year, this will be on everyone's kitchen counter.
A bath pillow for cozy bathing
Bathique Bathtub Spa Bath Pillow, $40, Amazon
This pillow is all your bath really needs to be the comfy haven it should be! It’s easy to install and remove thanks to its suction cups, and it will support both your back and head. This is a must-have for the bathroom!
