Even though I've got my life together 99% of the time, there's still that 1% of days where I'm a hot mess. And on those days, nothing is out of bounds. There's always the chance I'll lose my keys right before stepping out of the house, or maybe I'll spill some merlot on my carpet. Luckily, there are tons of genius products on Amazon to help out on even the hottest, messiest days.
Remember how I mentioned losing my keys? It wasn't a hypothetical — in fact, I do it so often it may as well be a hobby of mine. That's why I've made sure to include everything from Bluetooth receivers that help you find lost items, to potent stain removers that power through red wine. But if you're having an extra-rough day, make sure to check out the dry shampoo that helps you stay fresh between showers. Just a few spritzes, and no one in that upcoming Zoom meeting will have any idea it's been a few days since you've showered. (Alright, maybe it's been more than a few days.)
Whether you're a hot mess one or 100% of the time, it never hurts to have a few brilliant products on hand to help you get through the day. Keep scrolling to see some of my top picks.
