The Curator: Chic and practical home gadgets for every home – National

No power, no refill and no fuss (and you can say goodbye to that gross ol’ box of baking soda in the fridge). Thanks to ozone synergy, this deodorizer by Miluvee traps and breaks down stale odors throughout your home and turns them into water molecules. Magic!

My protein powder no longer spills all over the counter, the kitchen floor and my morning bathrobe thanks to this thing. Meet the mess-free scoop, level and funnel.

No more gunky mess around the base of your kitchen faucet with this aesthetically arched sink mat, drying tray and splash guard. This is a Want, not a Need – but you will feel joy every time you look at it.

A pull-out closet rod is fantastic for narrow cupboards that still can accommodate clip-style hangers for your skirts, blouses and trousers.

I’m blaming both contractor and budget fatigue, but I neglected to install any lighting in one of my highest-use closets when I was buttoning up my own reno last year. After two summers of whining about it, I landed on these motion-sensor, chargeable magnetic LED lights. They have been the BEST no drill, no electrician brighten-up solution.

Sorry but find me someone who doesn’t appreciate a pretty and functional hanging basket set for their kitchen, closet or laundry room. I’m getting peaceful and pretty Pamela Anderson-at-home vibes here.

If you took my advice and slathered on SPF and lived under a giant English garden hat all summer, your mug can still look carefree and sun-kissed thanks to these Fazit Makeup Patches. Instant (faux) freckles!

To further support your trickery after a low-sun summer, I like that this long-wearing cream pocket bronzer by beauty behemoth Rhode is novice-friendly. So it’s just a little less pigmented than you might think, allowing you to blend it in for a subtle, sun-kissed hit. I’ve been wearing this exact (newly-dropped) shade called Pebble.

I don’t use hair masks very often, so I prefer to buy a mini so it doesn’t sit for two years in my hair drawer, post-op. Bring your mane back to life after all that holiday damage with L’Oréal’s Molecular Leave-In Cream for Damaged Hair.
