We all have those products that just make you think… How did I ever live without this?! I absolutely love finding products that add ease or value to my life in some way. Finding something that becomes a regular part of your routine can sometimes feel like hitting the lottery. Hence why I’m always on the lookout for new must-have product recommendations from friends, family, fellow creators, and of course the occasional targeted advertisement. Back in March I shared a blog highlighting 12 products I wish I had bought sooner.

With that being said, allow me to introduce you to 12 must-have products that I wish I’d purchased sooner… May edition! These beauty staples, kitchen or fashion finds, and basic everyday essentials are the products that spark joy and make my life easier in some way. I hope you find something here that does the same for you! I’m always curious about what products others are loving… let me know your must-have products in the comments!

I don’t know about you, but often my mascara routine just gets stale and doesn’t work as well as it typically does. I recently added the SOSHE Peptide Lengthening Mascara to my rotation and it’s become my new favorite! The smudge-free formula is infused with lash-strengthening peptides and growth-stimulating biotin. I seriously think my lashes have gotten longer since using this! It lifts, lengthens, and separates my lashes unlike any other brand. I highly recommend!

After seeing numerous ads for Ruti Clothing I finally ordered the wide-ish pants and all day washable silk top. Both pieces are incredible quality and SO chic. I love clothing that looks elevated yet feels comfortable, and Ruti has truly nailed it! Dress these pieces up or down for a chic, sophisticated, comfortable, and elevated day to night look. Take 15% off your order with code TIFFANY15. See how I’ve styled these pieces here!

The Clutch portable phone charger has been my tiny tech hero for years now. I recently used it at dinner with friends and everyone ordered their own before the night was over. It’s so slim and lightweight that I barely notice it’s in my purse, and it saves the day when you need a quick on-the-go charge. I keep one in my car and one in my purse in case of emergency! This is truly one of those must-have products that I would recommend to anyone. Available in both USB-C and lightning cable

I’ve been making the switch to clean, non-toxic products in my life and home. I have to share the latest clean alternative I’m loving… Blueland’s Toilet Bowl Cleaner Starter Set! The non-toxic tablets work SO well and couldn’t be easier to use. Just drop the tablet in the toilet, brush, flush, and admire the shine. The Lemon Cedar scent is so refreshing, and it leaves toilet bowls cleaner than ever. I just ordered another set for our powder bathroom!

I wore this matching set on repeat last summer and loved it so much I purchased a different pattern for this summer! I love an outfit that I can easily throw on with minimal thought, especially in the summer. It’s chic, incredibly comfortable, and extremely versatile. A total compliment magnet that looks pricey but is actually under $20. While this might not TRULY be a must-have product…  I seriously wear this at least once a week!

Summer is on the horizon, which means it’s officially the season of outdoor dining! I always keep these fly repellent fans on hand to keep bugs, flies, etc., from getting in our food. Simply place them on the table where you’re dining, and the They seriously work like a charm. The soft blades of the fan work to keep flies away, allowing you to enjoy clean and fresh food! This is a true must-have product that is sure to get frequent use throughout the summer!

The Snif Laundry Starter Pack is yet another clean, non-toxic find that I wish I had discovered sooner! The set includes a bottle of detergent as well as a liquid scent booster. The formula is free of toxins and thankfully doesn’t irritate my skin. I’ve been genuinely amazed at how fresh and luxurious each load of laundry smells—and how soft my clothes feel. I’m loving how subtle the Rain Check scent is… fresh, clean, and not overwhelming. I’ll definitely be ordering this duo again!

Squatty Potty is by no means a recent find, but it’s a longtime favorite of mine that I seriously can’t imagine life without. It’s a simple bathroom addition that promotes a more natural posture, making things… move along much more smoothly (if you know what I mean). It’s one of those products you don’t realize you need until you try it—then you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it! I love that the acrylic stool visually goes away.

I love finding products that make life easier… especially when it comes to the kitchen! These pop-up parchment paper sheets make cooking and clean-up a breeze. The precut sheets fit most pans and take the hassle out of measuring and cutting traditional parchment paper. They also have pre-cut aluminum foil sheets, slow cooker liners, and pre-cut cookie baking sheets. These are all such

These double-sided cotton swabs are one of those everyday essentials that make life a little bit easier. The pointed tip comes in so handy when cleaning up excess mascara, lipstick smudges, etc., You can even use it to clean earbuds, in between the keys on a keyboard, and so many other fine areas.

You know those simple pleasures that make every day feel a bit more luxurious? This fresh linen hand soap + lotion bundle is just that! I fell in love with it after using the duo at a friend’s house. The chic bottles elevate any countertop, and the clean, plant‑based formula keeps my hands clean, moisturized and smelling fresh. I love that this set makes a quick hand-wash feel like a spa-worthy experience! Products are also sold individually!

Calling all fur moms! This dog bowl has been a game changer for our fur baby LaLa. She used to eat her food so quickly that it would sometimes make her sick afterwards. Our vet recommended the slow feed bowl to keep her from consuming her food too quickly, and it’s worked like a charm. The ridges in the bowl slow her eating which helps improve digestion while preventing bloating and obesity. I highly recommend!
