This Pet Food Container Measures the Perfect Amount

  via Amazon  

Ever since we got a puppy a few months ago, I’ve been trying to find ways to manage the huge, 30-pound bag of food she eats every month. This pet food container has been a lifesaver for storing smaller amounts and measuring exactly how much she’s supposed to have with the built-in measuring cup lid. It keeps the food fresher, too, since I’m not opening the big bag two times every day to retrieve her food!

This Bliss Face Peel Is So Gentle

  via Amazon  

I have really sensitive skin that gets a rash if you so much as look at it wrong. But I do like to exfoliate every once in a while to feel fresher, so I use this non-abrasive Bliss jelly glow peel that has fruit enzymes to gently remove dead skin and unclog pores. It also contains niacinamide, which is key for sealing in moisture so you won’t get dried out like with harsher exfoliators.

This Knife Sharpener Is Such a Good Idea

  via Amazon  

My husband sharpens our knives pretty much every week with this knife sharpener, and he couldn’t love it more. The knives are so sharp they cut through even the toughest meat and veggies with ease, which is much safer than using a dull knife. This one can sharpen all types of knives and even kitchen scissors!

This Sink Strainer Is Much Less Gross

One of my least favorite chores besides cleaning the toilet is emptying out the food and debris from the kitchen sink strainer. I hate hate hate touching the slimy, decomposing food stuck in it!

I read it’s safer to have different cutting boards for meat, veggies, etc, so I got this set of four flexible ones that are color-coded. Simply assign a color to a certain food – for example, yellow is for chicken, green for veggies. These are so easy to clean, too, and they take up virtually no storage room, unlike their bulky, unwieldy cousins.

This 14-in-1 multitool couldn’t be handier for everyday tasks. It can open a beer, act as a screwdriver, saw through wood, snip branches and cut anything with its sharp knife, among other things. You’ll never want to be without this guy, especially if you’re the outdoorsy type.

  via Amazon  

Now that our puppy can go for long walks a few times a day, we needed a good leash that was reflective for nighttime walks.
