This week's picks coming in 3,2,1…

1. Wellness products if you’re not the best at self-care.

We’ve got a self-watering planter, a veggie chopper, and a laundry tool so you never lose a sock again. More time to enjoy that extra hour of daylight.

5. How often you should be cleaning your sheets (and other household items).

Spoiler: The answer isn’t just whenever you remember. Oh, and apparently you’re supposed to vacuum your mattress. The more ya know.

Because we could all use some distractions to calm our nerves. And pasta, pastries, and pot roast are delicious alternatives to biting your nails. 

12. The app that lets you save all your fave stuff from the web in one place.  

We’ve got 99 problems and having one million tabs open at all times is one of them. Enter: Pocket. It lets you save articles, recipes, videos, or anything you want. Nighttime reading just got a whole lot easier.
