This is (and I cannot emphasize this enough), not sponsored.

1. This exact scent of Febreze - $3.29

If they make this Zesty Orange Blossom scent into candles, I'll take 14. I need it it a hand soap, laundry detergent + softener and, if they make dryer sheets, I'll take those too.
My coworker sprayed a pop of this baby at work, and I almost put in my two weeks notice! It smelled so good, I knew I immediately needed it! So, I found this at Target and have no regrets because the contents of this can is nothing short of tropical Heaven!
2. Scrub Mommy - $3.50

Listen, I love a good SharkTank product as much as the next armchair CEO, but this is truly the only product that I have, bought and have become a repeat customer of.
I'm just waiting for them to release a Scrub Grandpa, whatever that may be...
3. Jansport Backpack - $40

You can pry my Jansport out of my Cold. Dead. Hands. And, to tell the truth, you may have to.
These bad-boys will last an entire lifetime and, if for any reason it doesn't, Jansport offers a lifetime warranty.
As a city dweller myself, I find carrying endless necessities to and from my office is a daily occurrence. Journals, lunch box, chargers, toilet trees, and because I'm in Chicago- always a jacket or second layer.
It's super spacious and way more comfortable than a single shoulder bag. Plus, there's endless styles to choose from!
4. Crest x Scope Disposable Mini-brush - $1.25

As a devout believer in Coffee, I throw a few of these babies into my Jansport, in my consideration for others.
No one likes coffee breath, and these are a great solution for when you're on the go.
You can find these at DollarTree for, well... $1.25.
5. Silicone Re-Usable Can Lids - $6

So mundane... yet... so practical. Just like ~me~
These Silicone can covers are excellent for preserving that awkward amount of leftover red cooking sauce, particularly if you cook in smaller portions.
If you're a pet owner like myself, these can toppers are also great for storing your dog's canned food (though they might not agree to the portion control).
6. Gold Bond Foot Powder Spray - $9.50

Global Warming is among us, folks. Our sweat glands are under direct attack and my nose takes that personally.
We will fight back, and this is how.
Foot powder spray is a great way to keep fresh and dry through the summer months.
7. Foam Back Roller - $20

I'll never reach my healthcare deductible, so this will have to do.
Just kidding, .. but if you have chronic back pain like me, give this a try for some relief.
8. Silk Sleep Mask - $5

Once I have my silk sleep mask on, it's over. I'm done. Do not call, it'll go to voicemail.
Let people know how done you are with your own mask, $5 on Amazon.
9. Trolley Cart - $50

This might be my top mundane pick! Again, as a city dweller, having a push cart enables me to do so much. I often have to transport groceries and laundry up-and-down eight flights of stairs so, this item is essential.
I used to think only old people repped the push- Trolley's, but little did I know how much I was missing out.
I'm thinking of tricking mine out, maybe a new paint job and some new rims?
10. Tinted Sunscreen - $30

Sunscreen has undeniably become a daily necessity. Millennials are increasingly prioritizing sun protection, and the resulting long-term benefits are evident!
I really like the La Roche-Posay tinted SPF 50 sunscreen. It's light and blends extremely well.
I recommend this one in particular because I work in a Dermatology clinic, and one of the providers gave me samples of this product. So, though, many products boast "dermatologist recommended", I can personally vouch that this one truly is!
