There’s no shame in buying specific products to help you reach your goals. The more satisfying they are to use, the more you’ll want to reach for them. I’m rounding up some of the best ones to help you keep your routine in check — from meal prep and weekly movement to revamping your wardrobe and keeping your space organized.
If you’re looking to move your body more

The ankle weights that are worth their endless hype…
I’ve had my Bala bangles since the pandemic, and I reach for them on a weekly basis. Wear them on your wrists or ankles during walks, Pilates, or yoga for an extra burn. I also use them as regular hand weights. I love how they come with their own pouch for travel. Select between 1 and 2 pound weights. ($55+, Bala)

A greens powder that does it all…
Mix a scoop of AG1 with a glass of water and add ice. We prefer to take it in the morning, so it can provide energy for the entire day. Since it’s packed with all the nutrients of a multivitamin, it’ll support immune defense and gut health. It has tropical notes of pineapple and vanilla without any added sweeteners. ($79+, AG1)

A set of weights that are three-in-one…
If you’re new to weight lifting or are short on space, these convertible weights from Stakt are a must. The center base is two pounds with removable ends that are two pounds each. Depending on the workout you’re doing, you can adjust the weights to your preference. The best part? They’re FSA/HSA-eligible, too. ($98, Stakt)

Fabric resistance bands for beginners…
These are great if you’re new to your fitness journey, as you can get a great burn without picking up weights. They’re made of a grippy fabric so they won’t bunch up as you move. This set comes with three bands of increasing resistance levels. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A foldable yoga mat that doubles as a block…
This workout mat from Stakt is worth the investment if you prefer an at-home workout. It’s made of a soft foam that provides lots of cushioning, which is ideal if your joints are sensitive. It has creases that allow it to fold so that you can give yourself even more knee and wrist support. Plus, if you go to classes that require you to bring your own mat, it’s incredibly lightweight and easy to take with you. ($88, Stakt)

Thermal leggings if going outside seems unbearable…
Pro tip for getting steps in during Arctic blast season: thermal leggings. This pair from Baleaf is lined with fleece and made of a material that’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and will keep you warm. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Our new favorite gummy vitamin…
A multivitamin that doesn’t taste bad? Count us in. This one from Grüns has a strawberry flavor and is packed with vitamins to support your energy levels, brain, immune system, gut health, and so much more. Just take one snack-pack of eight per day. (47.99+, Grüns)

Some wireless earbuds for runs…
They have a unique hook shape that’ll fit the curve of your ear and keep them securely in place. You can pair them with JLab’s corresponding app, so you can adjust your listening settings (which we love for being aware of our surroundings while we’re out). The rechargeable case and earbuds will last up to 35 hours on a single charge. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
If you’re looking to cook more

A veggie chopper if you hate picking up a knife…
If the idea of making a chopped salad stresses you out, you need this veggie chopper from Fullstar. It comes with four blade inserts so you can pick your chopping size. Just place halved veggies on top of the blade and use the lid to press down. The basin underneath will collect everything so you can easily transfer your food to a bowl. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A cookware set that’s a dupe for all the expensive ones we’ve seen…
Drew Barrymore’s homeware line at Walmart is so underrated. Between the pricing and their sleek designs, we can’t get enough. This nonstick cookware set is just under $100 for 12 pieces – including pots, pans, a Dutch oven, and felt separators to keep them scratch-free. If you’re new to cooking and want an inexpensive set for meal prep, get this. ($99, Walmart)

An air fryer that won’t take up tons of counterspace…
This 2-quart from Dash is ideal if you’re just cooking for yourself. It’s straightforward and has minimal settings — it’s perfect for cooking veggies and sides. Place your food into the nonstick fry basket and turn the two knobs to set the temp and time. It’ll shut off automatically and has nonslip feet for extra stability. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Plastic food storage containers with lids…
Whenever I haven’t had food storage containers on hand, I’ve been far more prone to food waste and a disorganized fridge. This set of 50 leakproof containers even comes with chalkboard labels and markers so you can make note of dishes or expiration dates. They’re microwave-, dishwasher-, and freezer-safe. Because they’re stackable, they’ll fit neatly in your fridge. I love that they come with dressing and condiment containers, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Nonstick liners if you hate cleaning your oven…
These extra-thick mats will catch any drippings that have trickled down inside your oven. Instead of spending hours scrubbing the bottom surface, you can remove this mat and rinse it. It can withstand heat up to 500 degrees and doubles as a nonstick baking mat. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
If you’re looking to keep your space clean and organized

The storage bags I use for everything…
I’ve had these Hefty bags for years and won’t ever stop raving about them. I used them during my cross-country move instead of boxes to hold clothing, towels, and bedding. They’re a fantastic, lightweight alternative to plastic bins, and I’ve even used them to store my clean linens in closets. They have two durable handles, strong zippers, and mesh panels for ventilation. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The TikTok-viral cleaning paste you can use everywhere…
The Pink Stuff is a powerful multipurpose paste you can use on any hard-to-clean areas — from grout and ovens to pots and bathroom sinks. It’s safe enough to use on most surfaces and its formula is non-abrasive. To use, apply just a little bit of the product with a microfiber cloth or sponge, and rinse. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Some reusable paper towels I’ve been using for years…
One reusable paper towel replaces 17 rolls. With this set, you’ll get four sheets and two hooks for quick access. They’re fast-drying and I love how you can place them in the wash or on the top rack of your dishwasher to clean them. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
If you’re looking to revamp your wardrobe

A clothing rental service that’s under $100…
If one of your resolutions is to change up your wardrobe while maintaining your budget, a clothing rental service is a must. We love Nuuly because it’s $98/month to rent any six pieces, and the shipping is free. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time and buy what you really love. ($98/month, Nuuly)

A relaxed pair of jeans that come in five lengths…
It’s time to say goodbye to any jeans that aren’t fitting how you want them to. We love this ‘90s-inspired straight-leg from Abercrombie for its looser fit, countless washes, and range of sizes and lengths. ($89, Abercrombie & Fitch)

The best T-shirt if you’re looking to replace your basics…
This is the $15 T-shirt I can’t stop writing about because I’ve purchased it in multiple colors. It’s usually on sale, and it’s made of a buttery-soft ribbed material that’s comfortable and not too thick. It comes in 21 colors and because it’s slightly cropped, it tucks in perfectly. ($14.99, Old Navy)

Cashmere that isn’t too unattainable…
This Reformation cashmere sweater is a noteworthy find because it’s under $200 and will last for years. It’s a boyfriend sweater with a boxier, more oversized fit, which means it's great for layering. Pair it with jeans, leggings, or a silk skirt. ($168, Reformation)

The ultimate pair of everyday sneakers…
This Dr. Scholl’s pair have been viral bestsellers for months on end and with good reason. We can attest that they’re sleek, can be sneakily worn with longer trousers, and even look good when paired with dresses. There's a slight platform which makes them feel a little more dressed-up and the cushion-y soft insoles mean they won’t rub uncomfortably. Plus, the price is unbeatable. ($69.96, DSW)
