Let's face it: Mornings are tough. Each and every day starts with the challenge of breaking up with our cozy, cozy beds for the day, and then all the challenges that follow of pulling ourselves together in time for work. The way your morning routine goes determines how the rest of your day is going to go, and if you don't believe us, just think back to that one morning when you hit snooze one too many times on your alarm, then stubbed your toe on your dresser, burned your hand on the frying pan while making breakfast, spilled your coffee, and to top it all off, couldn't find your keys as you were rushing to get out the door. Oh, and you forgot your headphones ... on a day full of meetings & deadlines. Yeah, it sucks. While we couldn't be more excited for spring break (hello, tropical beaches, swimsuit shopping, & music festival season), there are still quite a few grumpy, caffeine-fueled mornings left before we get to board the plane or hit the road to a relaxing vacay.
Before you start spiraling into despair (as we almost may or may not have prior to writing this article), pause. Take a few deep, calming breaths, and listen up. We fully know just how much of a struggle getting through the foreday, and we wouldn't wish that anyone, especially you, bestie. That's why we've combed through Amazon to round up the very best problem-solving finds that will, in essence, make your mornings sooo much easier to get through without dreading the rest of the day. From shopper-approved bag organizers, wrinkle-releasing spray & bottle cleansing tablets to internet-viral hair-smoothing sticks & milk frothers, these finds may not magically transform you into a morning person overnight, but they will make the AM much less scary & miserable. And, hey, a win is a win.
Bottle Bright Single Pack - 12 Tablets
You know that water bottle sitting next to your kitchen sink, the one you looked at last night and thought, "I'll just clean it in the morning?" Surprise, it's still there when you wake up, and now you have an extra chore added to your list of AM to-dos. Worst case scenario, you take a day-old water bottle filled with yesterday's germs, and that's the water you're drinking all day long. Best case scenario, you pop in one of these handy-dandy cleaning tablets (which have 25,800+ five-star Amazon reviews, btw), let it stand for 15-30 minutes while you handle other morning tasks, and then rinse it out for a sparkling clean water bottle with minimum effort.
If you have time, we recommend taking a look through the wealth of before-and-after pics shoppers have left. There are also a ton of rave reviews written, including one that reports, "From a skeptic who never leaves a product review. My wife suggested Bottle Bright to clean a much loved 20 year old coffee tumbler. The dark brown crust inside defied scrubbing or cleaning with multiple products. I knew it couldn't work but after soaking overnight, it was clean as new. There is no scent afterwards and needs only a quick wash. Just saying the result was a sparkling clean doesn't do this product justice. My only regret is that I didn't take a "before" photo."
Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set
Roll out of bed with your hair 99% done & ready to go — that's exactly what this internet-viral heatless curling set is designed to do.

Not only will you be saving your hair from heat damage, you'll be saving time & money.
According to one Amazon shopper, "I've always strived for the perfect classic curls that can last all day long. This product has been a game-changer for me. It's so comfortable that I can even sleep with it on, and when I wake up, voila! I'm ready to go with beautiful curls. It saves me so much time in the morning. If i didn't get to sleep in it I put it on and drive to work, and by the time I arrive (which takes about 30 minutes), I have loose curls that last all day. Not only that, but it has also helped me style my curtain bangs perfectly."

Similarly, if you're styling your hair and want to look put together even though you only had five minutes, this TikTok-loved & shopper-loved hair wax stick is a lifesaver. It's formulated with ingredients like castor oil, avocado oil, beeswax, and vitamin E that simultaneously smooth hair frizz & nourish your strands.
The wax stick has 27,100+ five-star reviews on Amazon, with one shopper writing, "I was skeptical but I actually really like this. I've tried pomades, gels, hair sprays, from drugstore to high end and this honestly beats them all. Tames my fly always without making my hair greasy, crunchy or a leaving a white cast (I have straight black hair). And I used it when it was very hot and out. Not only that but I can see this working for a lot of different textures. Bonus for there not being a noticeable scent."

Avoid the stress & hassle with these nifty half moon-shaped stickers, which are made from medical non-woven fabric that's soft to the touch.
One Amazon shopper noted that these "Stick well without irritating my eyes." They added, "These are excellent for applying eye makeup.

They peel off easily from the inner corner out without causing pain and do a great job of helping me keep my eyeshadow where I want it to go"

Not only does it make incredible egg based sandwiches, but you may expand your menu to include really good sandwiches such as Ruebens, barbecues, and outstanding grilled cheeses. It gets very hot so I wouldn't recommend it for children. Have fun with it...you'll be glad you did."

Downy WrinkleGuard Wrinkle Release Fabric Spray
Maybe you decided to ignore the huge pile of freshly laundered clothes sitting on your chair before heading to bed.

I feel comfortable wearing perfume even after I've used it. I usually spray the items I'm going to wear and let the wrinkle releaser do its magic while I focus on hair or makeup. I have, however, sprayed it on items I was actually wearing, and it worked just as great. I travel a lot, and I always have a bottle of wrinkle releaser in my suitcase for just in case. Highly recommend!"

It also gives the bag support at the bottom so I can actually sit the bag down without it falling over.

It stuck to the wall easily and has not come off since (I've had this thing up for months and shower once or twice a day) and it hasn't budged. The touchscreen works well and you can rotate it to either be horizontal or vertical. I don't find the sound quality to be diminished at all and have even had phone conversations while it was in the case. Seriously, this changed my life and made my shower such a luxury. You won't be disappointed!"
