I haven't read all of the comments on here, but here are mine that are more beauty related that improve my quality of life:

• a bottle of oil makeup remover and face cleanser, specifically the DHC Cleansing Oil that you put on your dry face, rub lightly all over and then rinse off. Gone are the days of drying out your face and creating more waste with makeup remover wipes.

• if you prefer just water and no oil, a simple soft makeup remover towel is a dream, removes makeup with just getting the cloth wet and then gently rubbing on your face and eyes. Buy a pack of like 12 or something as you shouldn't use the same towel more than once to clean your face - the bacteria it gets on there can actually make your skin worse if you use it multiple times before washing.

• sunscreen! Omg if you don't moisturize or use sunscreen you're doing yourself a disservice. Do yourself a favor and make it easier by gettinga 2-in-1 moisturizer+SPF. Good brands being dermatologist recommended CeraVe or flight attendant/aesthetician recommended Kiehls. Honestly, throw in some lip balm from them too or their overnight lip mask where you put it on before bed and wake up with super soft and non-chapped lips - a lifesaver especially when you're sick and end up mouth breathing all night.

• a microfiber dedicated hair towel - immediately after your shower wrap up your hair in this for like 5-10 min and then your hair won't be sopping wet and will be less frizzy from the lack of scratchy towel drying. Bonus, you get to look cool in a hair wrap.

• an eyelash growth serum, my favorite is Babelash. Gone are the days of falsies or weak thin lashes that don't keep debris out your eyes. Put this on your lid lash line religiously every night for a week then alter every other day and then after about 3 weeks you should see results and then use as-needed. Stuff is amazing and you can get a two-pack at Costco even - just don't buy the ones off Amazon as it's a knock off formula and you're putting stuff near your eyes so be mindful about that.

• nail cuticle oil, my fingertips get dry and I end up picking them. Not to mention how much healthier your nailbeds will be when you start using this. Put some on your cuticles and then rub it in - I do it mindlessly while I'm watching TV or something. Helped me get my nails back after biting them for decades.

• a cozy pair of soleless slippers, I prefer the brand "snoozies!" I wear those all the time I'm in the house and love that I can even put them on the couch or wherever as I don't go outside with them. Alternatively, a good pair of slippers with a sole you wear to get the mail with if you are in chill mode and don't wanna put on actual shoes for small outdoor tasks.

That's all I can think of right now, but those are some of my favorites for smaller daily life improvements.
