May Ning/BuzzFeed
"This body wash smells like a DREAM and doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped of moisture when I step out of the shower. It lathers up nicely, which I personally like because it's what makes me feel the cleanest." —May Ning
Get it from Amazon Canada for $4.97.
5. A three-pack of Pears soap bars that'll help you achieve the full, fluffy brows of your dreams. Simply swipe a spoolie across the top of a dampened bar, then get to brushin' those tiny hairs into place.
Brittany Barber / Via BuzzFeed
"If, somehow, you still haven't tried the soap-brow trend, this is your sign to finally do it. It took me a while to hop on, too, but it's changed the way I do my eyebrows entirely. And it's CHEAP. Like stupid cheap. In comparison to some of the laminating products I've tried, this stuff works the best (and feels the best for my wallet). I normally go in with my Anastasia brow pomade after fluffing to fill in the sparser areas, but I left my brows bare so you could see the effect of the soap alone. You're welcome!" —Brittany Barber
Get a pack of three on Amazon Canada for $3.49.

8. A pair of hydrating Aveeno hand masks if your digits could use a little TLC and hand cream just isn't cutting it. Reviewers say they're great for eczema and can transform even the driest, most cracked hands.
Kaysey Davis/BuzzFeed
"My hands are pretty dry already and with increased hand washing, my skin is feeling extra parched. I normally bathe my hands in cream, but it's just not enough. Enter these ~handy~ hydrating masks. First, I love that they're gloves. I've tried other masks that have a mitten shape and it's hard to sit still for 15 minutes while they work their magic. With these gloves I still have a bit of dexterity, so I can work on my laptop, clean, or whatever I need to do in the meantime. And afterwards, my hands feel so soft and moisturized." —Kaysey Davis
Get a pair from Amazon Canada for $3.99. Also available in a foot mask.
9. A baking soda deodorizer that'll suction right to the inside wall of your fridge and keep your appliance from getting stinky. Reviewers love that it doesn't take up valuable shelf space like the traditional boxed version.
Amazon

10. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sheets that'll make cleaning up messes in hard-to-reach places a lot easier. They're more flexible than an OG Magic Eraser, meaning they can get them into tinier nooks and crannies.
Alice Prendergast / Via BuzzFeed
They're great for messes in microwaves, stoves, bathrooms, and pretty much everywhere else in your home. I recently dyed my hair and, because I'm messy, got splotches all over my sink, floor, and walls. You know what helped me get rid of all those unwanted marks? One of these babies.
Get a pack of eight from Amazon Canada $3.99.

Amazon
Get it from Amazon Canada for $4.46.

21. A shaker of Old Bay that should be called Old Bae, because you'll put it before anything else in your pantry. It's a must for any seafood lover and is equally delightful on veggies if you're plant-based or tend to steer clear of under-the-sea foods.
Alice Prendergast BuzzFeed
"Cooking is probs my fave thing in the world. I am vegan, which can lead to challenges when creating ~fun~ and ~flavourful~ dishes. Old Bay has been my recent obsession to curb that. I put it on everything,it even makes tofu (my go-to protein) taste ✨amazing✨. I've been told it also taste bomb on the rim of a Caesar, so if you're into clam juice, you should probably try that." —Alice Prendergast
Get it from Amazon Canada for $3.99.
