Promising review: "I spent over 30 years in nursing and therefore had my hands in water all the time. This is one of the first products I have found that really works." —Nurse

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $6.99.

Promising review: "I am super surprised that this works as well as it does. I have thick, fuzzy, curly hair and this got the job done in about 15-20 minutes! Usually takes me about an hour to blow dry and style (straightener or curling iron). I was super leery since I have curly hair but it made it nice and smooth and full! Different techniques can give you different outcomes so it's fun to play around with and definitely cuts down the heat damage that would normally happen!" —Krun

Get it from Ulta for $59.99 (available in two colors).

I personally own and wear reading glasses from them, and I can't recommend them enough — yay for affordability and being able to filter by glasses *with* nose bridges! I'm sure their blue-light glasses are no exception in terms of quality. There's a virtual try-on feature, 14-day return/replacement policy, tons of helpful tips and guides, and even a buy one, give one donation program!

Get a pair from EyeBuyDirect for $49.95+ (comes with prescription or non-prescription lenses).

Just don't heat it up!

Promising review: "As a migraine sufferer, I've tried many ways to both keep light out as well as cool my eyes during a migraine. This is by far the best mask I've used, providing cool and amp; dark relief while being comfortable, as well. I'm impressed with the stitched X's over each eye, creating a slight indentation for the eyes. I use it nightly and travel with an extra one, just in case. I've also given one to an aunt and another to a niece that suffer from migraines, and they love them now, too. Highly recommended!" —AlfaGradu8

Get it from Walgreens for $13.54.

Promising review: "I have been looking for a simple way to make cold brew. This hits everything I was looking for. It makes really great cold brew and all you need to do is grind beans and fill it up. It's easy to clean and makes me look forward to using it. I'm definitely going to get a lot of use out of this, especially as the weather heats up." —Dylank

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $24.99+ (available in 32 and 64 oz sizes).

Read a BuzzFeeder's full review of the Takeya cold brew maker to see why it's so easy and rewarding to use!

I've heard from multiple coworkers (and people who've worked from home for years) that actually getting dressed like they would normally would to go out ~in the world~ helps immensely, and sets them up for the work day ahead. Otherwise, you're kinda just rolling out of bed straight into work, and it doesn't feel like there's separation.

Promising review: "This is the perfect tee dress. Trust me, you need it in every color. The fabric is thicker than your average T-shirt dress and the cut and fit are both perfect. I wore this all day while sightseeing* and was so comfortable, even while carrying a little one." —MJRan

*another perk for when it's safe to go outside!

Get it from Everlane for $30 (available in sizes XXS–XL and four colors).

As you can see, it has a non-slip bottom and the lining is machine-washable for extra ease!

Get it from Overstock for $32.99 or Staples for $44.99.

P.S. If you want to save a little $$, you can download the Libby app and borrow/place holds on books, just like a virtual library! I've done this with my own Kindle, and it's fab. Especially since I won't be physically going to a library anytime soon.

Get it from Staples for $84.99 (8 GB capacity).

And if you didn't have a *real* workspace before the lockdown, this obviously doubles as a mouse pad, so that's one less little thing to buy! The notepad itself is broken down into sections so you can organize their level of importance and timeliness, from "do or die" to "oughta do," and it even has a designated space for your pen!

Promising review (for "Let's Do This): "It actually works nicely as a mousepad, and you actually know where your pen is! I am using it slowly, but it's theperfect size to bring to a meeting if you have action items that seems to disappear in your regular notebook, where everything else is written." —Naoko Gorsuch

Get "Let's Do This" from Knock Knock for $12 or "Information Central" from The Container Store for $9.59.

It has 12 categories to focus on for each of the 12 months of the year (but honestly, you can tackle it however you want!), including creativity, reflection, finances, and sleep. And there's also a habit brainstorm guide if you need some help getting started!

Get it on Free Period Press for $18.

In fact, I just ordered a second container because I can't risk not having these on hand. Each serving (two gummies) contains three mg of melatonin, so you shouldn't feel any side effects right after taking them or the next day. I personally usually take one gummy, and that's almost always enough!

Promising review: "This product has been helpful for my sleep and it has a blend of synergistic ingredients for relaxation." —Karen A.

Get a container of 50 (25 servings) from VitaminShoppe for $14.99.

Read another BuzzFeeder's full review on the Olly Restful Sleep gummies (#5) to find out just how effective they are!

As you can see, they're barely noticeable once on! So go ahead — wear one during a video call! It'll be your little secret.

Get a pack of 24 from Revolve for $6.

Promising review: "I'm SO happy I found this! I have been googling ways to try and get dog hair off of furniture, and we have tried everything. Vacuuming the couch, using rubber scrapers, and we even make it a point to brush the dogs with a deshedding blade once a week. But nothing I found actually kept the insane amounts of dog hair off of the couches and furniture. My wardrobe is basically all black and that just wasn't working out well with a light-haired dog in the house! I finally found this on chewy and bought it and it has been a lifesaver! I roll the couch with it every day, so people can actually sit on it. So so so happy with it!" —KMau

Get it from Chewy for $24.95.

This set includes five N.M.F Aquaring Ampoule Masks, which contains hyaluronic acid, amino acids and water-binding sugars to nourish dry and flaky skin and five Tea Tree Essential Blemish Masks, which has tea tree oil and centella asiatica to calm inflammation and minimize the appearance of pores, and *drumroll please* 14 limited-edition BTS photocards that are exclusive to this set! ARMY, snatch 'em up!

Promising review: "These are honestly the best sheet masks I've ever used. I live in a pretty severe climate (winters are extremely cold and dry) and my skin changes drastically between seasons. I noticed immediate improvement after using these masks and I'll continue to buy them likely for the rest of my life because they're that good. Also the BTS photocards were great." —Madison S.

Get it from Soko Glam for $21.

P.S. Check out all of the other Mediheal masks!

Promising review: "I love this oil. I actually use it as a detangler when I get out of the shower and then I comb through my hair and head to bed. In the morning, my hair is so soft and so easy to mange. No frizz. I have medium length, thin, and curly hair. It's a great product for my hair type." —alisonj7

Get it from Sephora for $18.

No more waiting for boiling water. Or wandering off and forgetting about your pot until it overflows (I'm not saying I'm not guilty of this).

Promising review: "I was skeptical about this microwave pasta cooker. But I read the reviews, watched a few Youtube Videos, and decided to give it a try. It works as promised and couldn't be easier to use. I'm a household of one, and heating up a big pan of water for just a serving or two of pasta is a hassle. With this pasta cooker, I can easily cook pasta any time I want, no muss or fuss, and no heavy pan of water to drain. Great product!" —DK58

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $14.99. Or if you want a fancier-looking version, try this one from Uncommon Goods.

They're also dishwasher-safe! And if you need extra security, you can buy a sliding lid, so there's even less chances for spillage. And once we *can* safely lounge outside, they'll also help keep bugs 'n' other nonsense away from your drinks!

Get a 10 oz. tumbler from REI for $25 each (available in five colors).

It claims to also work on coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine stains, and even pet accidents!

Promising review: "Got a huge stain of Cabernet out of my light pink couch. This stuff is magical." —anonymous

Get it from World Market for $5.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I love this slicer! I rarely write reviews, but this literally changed my life. I have fibromyalgia and have trouble gripping things. I also have a host of tiny scars on my hands from cutting myself instead of the vegetables. I am stunned by how easy this is to use, and the protection it gives my hands! And it's low-tech! And it cleans easily! I'm still having trouble believing that a $13 product is doing so much to make my life easier and more painless." —Theresa

Get it from The Grommet for $12.95.

It's dishwasher-safe and it doubles as a two-cup measuring cup if you stand it up on its side!

Promising review: "Once you use the Vidalia Chop Wizard, you will never chop vegetables with a knife again. Whack, whack, whack, and you're done. Best kitchen tool around. I buy them as gifts for cook friends, and they are amazed and eternally grateful." —Arlene

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $19.99.

It also has a handy handle for easy carrying when you do have to refill it. You can only hand-wash this bottle, but thankfully there are very useful cleaning tablets that do the deep-reaching work for you!

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $33 (available in three colors).

I personally own this and I've never been good about nail care, but this is seriously the easiest cuticle treatment ever. Just twist and dab! Your best bet would be applying every night before bed, since you're probably washing your hands super often during the day.

Promising review: "Very easy to use — not greasy at all but still nourishing. I see a difference when I don’t use it. It's really useful especially now since I'm washing my hands all the time, which is so drying." —Emma M.

Get two from Olive & June for $30, or get it in a larger tool/nail care kit for $42.

Promising review: "I have gone through a lot of nail polishes looking for one that applies easily, covers in one coat, and dries smoothly. This is the only one I have found that does all that." —Paula

Get the regular colors from Ulta for $5.59 (available in sooo many colors) or the special Jelly Belly collection for $2.50+ (available in nine colors).

This set includes: Milky Jelly Cleanser, Super Bounce Serum, Priming Moisturizer Rich, Futuredew, Balm Dotcom in Original and Rose, and a limited-edition, nylon-spandex Glossier G logo headband.

Promising review: "Ok, so I quit makeup entirely for a full year and I am just now easing back into it and ordered this kit as a way to try all these skincare products (I've already purchased most of the makeup by Glossier). I tried the full routine this morning and just feel like my face is shining in the best way. It all smells so good, feels so good, and looks so good on my skin. After the skincare routine, I added the mascara, Boy Brow, lip balm, and lipstick. I feel like a rock star! Thank you Glossier for making easy, affordable and 'barely there' skincare and makeup products." —Michelle

Get it from Glossier for $50. And right now, you can get a free deluxe sample of Glossier You with your order of a $50 or more!

Promising review (for the ones on the left): "I bought these and the square stackers to use in my sock drawer. My drawer is deep, so I had room to stack them on top of each other. I have more room in my drawer and all of my socks are neatly organized by type and color now. This is the best this drawer has ever looked." —bomblady

Get them from The Container Store: first type of organizers for $11.24+ (available in four styles) or the honeycomb-like organizer for $11.99.

Here are the three different sprays and what they do:

–Aloe, cucumber, and green tea: wakes up dull tired, skin, hydrate, tone, and reduces redness in irritated complexions. Also popular for treating breakouts throughout the day

–Aloe, chamomile, and lavender: comforts irritated, dry skin, hydrates, and overall de-stresses both you and your complexion

–Aloe, herbs, and rosewater: hydrates and treats dry, uncomfortable skin throughout the day. Also great for refreshing makeup.

–Aloe, sage, and orange blossom: helps tone, balance, and preserve clarity of skin

Promising review: "My husband and I are both obsessed with these sprays! The rosewater is great to set your makeup and refresh throughout the day, green tea is great to spray on your face first thing in the morning to help wake you up, and I love using the lavender at night to wind down!" —NoleChick97

Get them from Nordstrom for $7+ (available in two sizes and four scents/varieties: rosewater, chamomile and lavender, cucumber and green tea, and sage and orange blossom).

Promising review: "This circulator has worked well for me in a number of both small volume and large volume vessels. I’ve cooked accurately perfect temperature steaks to 10-hour pork belly. It’s been easy to use and reliable after over 10 uses so far. I would recommend this product over more expensive sous vide circulators unless you just really need the chilling function for some reason." —Jzabica

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $79.99.

Promising review: "This product allowed me to plug in our 75 inch TV and sound system into a surge protector, with the swivel outlets allowing me to push the TV stand close to the wall so as to hide the wiring." —Jules

Get it from The Home Depot for $15.98.

This is my personal holy grail oil-based cleanser. It's super satisfying to work it in and it never, ever leaves my skin feeling stripped or tight, even after my water-based cleanser. Oh, and it gets everything (even waterproof mascara) off. Boom. Even if I'm only wearing sunscreen (which still needs to be taken off your face!), using this balm really signifies the end of the day for me — and that's priceless.

Promising review: "Holy grail! I simply cannot use any other cleansing balm ever again. This balm instantly feels luxurious as it touches your skin. I am able to have a mindful moment when I use this balm because of how soft and smooth it is. I prefer this over any other oil cleanser because it is extremely effective at removing makeup and impurities from the city and it actually feels warmer and more soothing than any other balm that I've tried. This oil cleanser demands you to slow down and pay attention to the texture and your skin! I love it so much.” —Rae R.

Get it from Soko Glam for $38.
