    6. A pair of versatile go-to leggings you can rock with your favorite accessories, running errands, or on the couch. What I am trying to say here is, why wear jeans ever again?

    7. A squatty potty that'll adjust your position and relax the right muscles so you can pass poo comfortably. Life gets busy, you do(do) not need to deal with bloating and constipation on top of it.

    39. Glossier Balm Dotcom — a "do-everything" lip balm that, yup, truly does it all. This Glossier cult-favorite is packed with ultra hydrating ingredients (think: castor oil, beeswax, and lanolin) to leave your pout moisturized — and slightly colored if you pick a tinted option — but not super shiny.
