After a year of quarantine it has become apparent that some things in our homes deserve an upgrade since we are using them everyday. Others items boost your mood, and make living there more functional and enjoyable. Here are 12 items that will improve your life and home that you will use everyday. These would also make great gift ideas.
1) Shower Head- We take showers everyday so why not get an amazing shower head that has a water filter and multiple water pressure options. It takes a necessary task and turns it into a relaxing one that can improve your skin and hair. I linked the one I currently use. https://amzn.to/3rggRPU
2) Sheets/Bedding- You spend 1/3 of your life in bed. Might as well make it a luxurious experience with good quality bedding and a comfortable mattress. The Comphy Company and Boll and Branch make incredible sheets and bedding. https://amzn.to/3tQ9wbu
3) Coffee Maker- If you drink coffee everyday it is worth it to upgrade to a coffee maker that you will use everyday whether it is an espresso machine, french press or a Keurig. Get one that you use the most and save a ton of money in the long run. https://amzn.to/3lLtpNY
4) Crockpot/ Instant Pot- If you don't love cooking but still have to eat and feed your family, investing in a crock pot or Instant pot is worth every penny. You just dump the ingredients in it and it cooks for you. https://amzn.to/3sg2Xyw
5) Diffusers- Diffusers make your home smell good all the time with no effort. They are based on essential oils and are a super easy way to adult and make your home look put together. This is one I currently use and love the scent. https://amzn.to/3tMPz5c
6) A Plant- Plants are the trendy yet timeless accessory we need in our homes. They clean the air and improve productivity which is great if your are working from home. I had a bamboo tree for 10 years growing up that I loved and just recently bought another one. Literally just water it once every week or two and it lasts forever. They are fool proof even if you have black thumb. https://amzn.to/3tOek0L
7) Washer and Dryer- Since we all have to wash clothes and towels regularly it is worth it to get a good quality washer and dryer. It can cut the time spent on laundry in half, clothes are cleaner and items actually dry faster in one cycle in a good new washer and dryer. Speed Queens are the best and they last up to 25 years! https://amzn.to/397isRS
8) Towels- After graduating from college and getting my own place I upgraded from the cheapest towels that were constantly disintegrating to luxury towels I found at Marshalls and it was game changing. I have had these Peacock Alley ones for several years and they still look new and Target also has great options. https://amzn.to/397Yypy
9) Vacuum- Getting a Roomba (or other brand equivalent) or a Dyson is totally worth it. My floors are spotless and they are super easy to use, lightweight and minimal effort. They are worth every penny. https://amzn.to/3rgihtI
10) Organization- Last year during quarantine I decided to organize my whole house. I bought bins for everything, labels for the kitchen and organizers for the closet and jewelry and wow it has made a world of difference. I have saved so much money since everything is put away and looks pretty. I can see everything and exactly how much there is, so I know exactly what I need to buy. These are the ones I used in my kitchen and would recommend. https://amzn.to/3cYwdTX
11) Lighting- Being in the house all day it is important to have good lighting. If you can get a dimmer or change the colors even better. You can choose between daylight, warm, cool, or different colored lights based on your mood and the right lighting can even help treat depression. https://amzn.to/3cct43I
12) Cleaning Products- Since we are in our homes all the time it is more important to use safe, natural cleaning products that won't harm our health but are still effective, My favorite is The Laundress. They are all natural ingredients, smell amazing and actually get the job done. The Surface Cleaner No. 247 and the laundry detergent are my favorite and work on any kind of surface and the detergents come in various options for different colors, wool and cashmere and other materials. The signature detergent works for everything and is linked here. https://amzn.to/3sisGGy
