Inspired by a post yesterday asking what you have done to improve your life,
I would LOVE to know what equipment or product you have bought that has been a complete game changer for you and yes, possibly changed your life?

I will start the post by mentioning two things that have changed my life:

  1. Pro kolin probiotic paste for cats and dogs.
Fabulous stuff if your cat or dog has a mild dickie tummy. Obviously not for serious cases or those that persist over a few days. Can buy it on Amazon and saves a lot in vet bills!!
  1. Bissell Crosswave electric floor cleaner.
Fantastic! It wets the floor, cleans it using an electric roller and vacuums up the water! It's quick and easy to use and really has made my life so much easier!

Now over to you..........

Sounds silly but a 3 door wardrobe in my
kids bedroom so I can have the uniform in it’s own part separated from other clothes, for some reason my brain is more organised this way 😅

Air con/heaters in each room.

KVD Good Apple foundation. No matter how bad my day is, this stuff makes me feel like I could fly a plane if I needed to

ooh....
ashwaganda
silver trainers
playing music through headphones at all possible opportunities (without being rude - it's a fine line!)
WLIs
the discovery of Vinted (I was late to that party) and then improvements to my wardrobe and how I feel about myself

A new bed, I hope, arriving next week. Never is my lower back more painful than when lying in my current one.

Mounjaro. Over 5 stone down since February & I'm the lightest I've been since I had my children - my daughter is 18!

😂Why were your silver trainers such a game changer? I saw some in Primark before Christmas that I was tempted by. But when I tried them on DP said I looked like I'd wrapped my feet in tin foil. I'd really like some though.

Cos they’re sparkly. And look great. And make me feel happy.

A bread maker. It takes two minutes to put a few simple ingredients in and set the timer. When I wake up to the house is filled with the smell of a fresh baked loaf. It's the nicest bread I've ever tasted and has none of the additives that are in supermarket bread.

Fabulous. Please can you post a link to which ones you have? If you don't mind.
