29 Products That'll Solve 29 Of Your Problems
A portable dehumidifier if the humidity has followed you indoors and made the house feel like Shrek's swamp. This lightweight and compact machine removes up to nine ounces of water each day in rooms up to 280 square feet.
A set of adjustable clip holders for when you're wearing a racer-back top and need to hide your bra straps. These clips attach to both straps across your back, so from the front no one can see your bra straps.
A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) to enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip.
An ice cube tray that'll make hollow cylindrical ice cubes — aka the perfect shape for your giant Stanleys and Hydro Flasks.
A crack weeder tool so your knuckles aren't scratched and bloodied after a session of sidewalk weed pulling. This stainless steel tool is designed to get into tight sidewalk cracks and remove stubborn thistles, weeds, and moss with ease.
Plus, a standing weeder because the worst part of gardening is having to kneel for hours plucking weeds. My back hurts just thinking about it! Thankfully, this tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing.
A pre-swim hair cream if you plan to spend all summer in your pool but don't want your mane to look like a dry, tangled mess. This cream protects your tresses from chlorine and can help prevent blonde hair from turning green.
A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel for dissolving hard, dead skin in literal minutes. (Seriously, reviewers say you should only let it sit for two to three minutes!) Then, give it a good scrub with a foot file, and your heels will be baby-bottom smooth.
A pouring chute to save you a lot of frustration when you're baking. Both wet and dry ingredients slide down seamlessly and into the mixing bowl instead of ending up on the counter...which you will now have to clean.
A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails after a gel mani. A combination of sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba softens the cuticle and strengthens your claws, so you'll be proud to show them off.
A Pikk-it tool so you can easily remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head and totally messing with your vac's absorption powers. (And ofc your fingers can't reach the hair!) You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.
A pair of sockless shoe liners because the return of the sun also means the return of stinky, sweaty feet. Bleh! Sometimes, you don't want or need a layer of socks, and that's where these washable and absorbent shoe liners come in handy!
A pack of earbud cleaning putty if the last time you offered your buddy an earbud to listen along with you, they actually recoiled in disgust when they saw how gunked up your AirPods were. Squish the flexible square into your AirPod speaker, peel it off, and gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality.
A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air!
A pair of compression gloves to give your joints a comforting (and breathable!) bear hug throughout the day that may help relieve pain caused by arthritis, carpal tunnel, and tendonitis.
A Swizzle Stick — yep — an absorbent post-sex sponge that deals with the often ~un-cum-fortable~ problem of leaking fluids. Leave it in for a few seconds after you've done the deed, let it do its thang, toss it, and then enjoy the feeling of dry underwear as you drift off to sleep.
An anti-humidity spray so you can give humidity a metaphorical middle finger. This spray creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture (that eventually leads to frizziness). As if that wasn't already magical enough, this effect lasts up to 72 hours or through two to three shampoos!
A Bissell Little Green machine because your living room looks like you're running a doggy daycare out of it. This portable upholstery and carpet cleaner cleans deeply, penetrating household fabrics and even car interiors to erase any sign of your pet's accidents.
A dirty dishwasher indicator if you find yourself thinking, "What's it gonna be today?" when you open your dishwasher. If your household doesn't consistently flip the clean/dirty dishwasher magnets, try this instead! It sits inside your dishwasher, so you know if dishes are clean or dirty depending on whether the container has water in it.
An onion holder for a more secure grip and more evenly sized slices of onions, tomatoes, lemons, eggs, potatoes, and fruits. You can even use it as a meat tenderizer!
A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream to help you look vibrant and well-rested...even if you haven't had a good night of sleep in...years.
A mold and mildew remover that you can set and forget. Come back in a few hours and you'll find grout that looks like new. The higher humidity in summer creates a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew (yuck), so no, you're not imagining it if it feels like your shower gets dirtier faster in the summer.
A set of refrigerator drip catchers so there isn't always a puddle in the water tray...and the floor in front of your fridge. They sit securely in the tray thanks to their magnetic design.
A plant-based cooking oil solidifier (you might remember it from Shark Tank!) because it makes getting rid of leftover grease easier than whatever method you're using right now. Simply sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's still hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash.
A facial hair trimmer if you're tired of plucking your unibrow or mustache and would rather reach for an electric option that's painless and fast.
An effective gnat trap for discreetly nabbing the flying pests who are currently invading your kitchen.
A Le Creuset magnetic trivet to save the day when you're dangerously juggling hot plates. This GENIUS invention allows you to simply hover a hot pot over the trivet and — BAM! — the trivet will stick to the bottom, and you can place the pot on any nearby, stable surface. Gone are the days of frantically shouting, "Can someone help me in here?!" when your hands are full.
A Scumbug that'll slurp up all the oils, sunscreen, and yuckies that are chilling in your pool. Just wring it out when it gets discolored, give it a rinse, and pop it back in the pool.

With this handy system, you can just remove individual trays when the ingredients are fully cooked. A Souper Cube if weeknight dinners take you no less than an hour and a half to make (and that's not counting cleanup time!).

It's so easy to quickly grab them as needed and defrost them for an easy meal. A space-saving ceramic folding griddle so incredibly well designed that you'll swear some magical wizard made it.

American High School Culture Shocks for Indian Student
Hi, I'm Tanishtha, and I was born and raised in Mumbai, India. When I was ten, my parents decided to move to the great state of New Jersey. I was excited, nervous, and curious about school life in the US. My biggest question was: would it actually be like High School Musical? Though I lived in the States for just six years, I have been through pretty much all the phases of adolescence in an American school—elementary school, middle school, and high school. The culture shocks kept on coming, keeping me on my toes. Looking back now, I kinda miss it. Yes, this is a mirror selfie from the high school bathroom; don't judge. So, just to reminisce: as an Indian-born kid living it through near adulthood, here are 13 things about American schools that gave me a major culture shock: 1. Having a lunch break at 9:30 in the morning—with lunch being two slices of pepperoni pizza and some milk. Don't get me wrong—I love pepperoni pizza! But I was used to the rotis and sandwiches my mum would make for my dabba (lunch box) how it was in Indian schools—discovering what your friends brought from home, and sharing your dabba with each other. It took some getting used to, having my own tray of food and not sharing what we got for lunch. The cafeteria system was definitely new to navigate by myself. It could have just been as simple as asking your teacher to excuse you, but not in an American high school. I had to carry the lid of a blue trash can to the washroom as a hall pass???Nothing could have prepared me for that moment. I have so many questions, but the most important one is: Why take a germ-loaded thing into another germ-loaded place? 3. Changing into gym clothes in front of girls you do not know—when we had a whole uniform just for gym in India. Nothing is more humbling than having to change in front of strangers and wear baggy, loose tops to play dodgeball. As someone who comes from having separate PE uniforms, this was a major culture shock. That, and also the things I heard in the locker room. Locker room culture truly exists, and I'm not going to lie, I got to hear some fierce gossip there. In India, we'd just resort to making an excuse (menstrual cramps), so we could sit back and gossip with our friends. 4. Wearing these mesh pinnies, which had the most FOUL stench. I honestly did not get the point of these; we are old enough to recognize who is on the defense and who is on the offense. We never had these in India—we just knew each other's faces. But my goodness, the moment we put those was so horrid, even Shrek wouldn't wear it. I am betting it hadn't been washed in years. The first time I put it on, I almost heaved. 5. Seeing more Patels in my class in the US, than anywhere in India. Listen, I went to school in New Jersey. When I first arrived in the US, I was excited to make friends with, well, not my surprise when I stepped through the doors of the school and saw people who looked like me. And at least 50% of them were was more cultural diversity in my school back in India! 6. Upgrading from a Chromebook to a Macbook Air in High School—much more convenient than writing everything in notebooks. Now, THIS was a pleasant surprise. My hands would cramp while speed writing; now, my fingers would cramp up after typing for hours. I was already hyped over the fact that we got laptops to study—but switching to Apple products was on a whole new level. You can bet I took a million aesthetic photos of that laptop. 7. The Yearbook club is a prestigious club—not everyone can enter. The high school yearbook—holding memories that we either cherish or want to burn and be done with. I always found this concept fascinating, having grown up on American TV shows. We never had this concept in India, so you just KNOW I was eager to join.I was not aware that they wouldn't allow just anyone to be part of the club. If nepotism existed as a concept in high school, it would rear its head in this club. And I was heartbroken. 8. Seeing couples kiss in hallways as an Indian student was mind-blowing, when even holding hands in India would be cause for trouble. It was EXACTLY like the TV shows, but more uncomfortable to witness in real life. I never saw a couple even hugging in Indian schools, but this was another level of PDA which was scandalous for the 14-year-old seeing those cheerleader-jock couples really made me feel as American as one could feel. It was like a whole new world. But India isn't far behind—we have the most innovative ways of showing affection to our boo; from love letters to missed calls on their phones, a lot was said in the subtext. 9. Having life-saving sex education classes when we were in 7th grade, which we desperately need in Indian schools. At the ripe age of 13, learning about the menstrual cycle, how to use pads, what sex is, and how to be hygienic was really helpful.I had no clue or hint about sex or the female body growing up in India, because it's such a taboo—and honestly, I think it is necessary for curious teenagers to keep them from making damaging I flustered the entire time? Yes. But talking about it definitely made me feel better. 10. Having lockdown drills out of nowhere, which almost had me crying the first time I did it. Hearing the words 'lockdown drill' over the speaker had to be the most terrifying thing to hear for a new student.I almost ran out of the classroom before my teacher calmly explained to me to sit away from the door and be quiet. This was probably the scariest shock I got as an Indian can imagine my shock to hearing the alarms ring out loud. I'm not sure American kids are used to this either. 11. Doing revisions and getting candy by playing Kahoot was far superior than re-reading and memorizing notes. The day I found out we revise like this, I realized that this was exactly my vibe. What a pleasant surprise!I was used to re-reading chapters out loud back home to memorize them, but I would do it on Kahoot any day.I may not be good with remembering notes, but my competitiveness never allowed me to lose. So I'm happy to say—I always got the candy at the end! 12. Ugly sweater competitions during Christmas time was a delightful culture shock! I've always loved Christmas, and that love only grew when I came across this tradition in the States. We never celebrated it in a big way in Indian schools; it was mostly just carols, a tree, and maybe a year-end Christmas party with snacks and juice boxes. But who doesn't love wearing fuzzy, silly-looking sweaters in the cold? I never won, but it felt great to be a part of something so whimsical. 13. And finally, hearing Americans yell out Hindi or Gujarati curse words across the hallway in an accent. Pure gold. I had the same reaction. Don't get me wrong, I was very used to hearing boys belt out the meanest Hindi curse words, but hearing them in the US? Shocking. I was not prepared to hear an American kid mispronounce "k*tte*, screaming it across the hallway. Every time I heard it, I'd think, "I could say it way better than that."Talk about diversity. As an Indian kid, the culture shocks were real. But over time, I got used to it—and now, weirdly enough, I miss things like cold milk and pizza for breakfast. It's true what they say: old habits die hard. I'm sure other Indian kids who moved to the US can relate. It's an experience that sticks with you, and honestly, American high schools will always be a cultural moment in our lives. They literally change you. If you can survive high school here, you can survive anything. BRB, finding my ugly Christmas sweater.
