A full body massage pad with heating function!!! Mine was a gift but if I had to buy it, I’d say it is worth every penny!!! When I’m having an exceptionally bad spell, I’m in the thing for about an hour 3 or 4 times a day

A quality grabber pole thing is a helpful little addition to life! I get two and hang one up at arms reach, that way when I inevitably drop my grabber I’m not totally screwed- I just use the one hanging up to pick the grabber I was using up and return the back up grabber to its’ hook. If you happen to drop both grabbers, I’d reconsider wether or not you legitimately need the item you were originally after and move on with life 😂 P.S. My mom may have walked into a room I was in on a bad day and seen a cup or two on the ground as well as my grabber once or twice before 😂🤣😂

Oh oh oh! Investing in a shower head wand thing is a FANTASTIC idea. I’m super grateful I still live with my mom and she washes my hair for me after I’m done washing up the rest of me.

Thank you. I need a grabber. Everytime I find one I'm broke.

Gidgetmom: not sure if you have one near you, but dollar tree sometimes have them! Harbor Freight carries them too and they are only a few bucks usually.

Purpleismyjam, I have like 5 near me. I worked at one about 9 years ago. We carried them back then. I didn't need one at the time. But no offense, those are garbage. Ppl brought them back all the time because they broke and most of the ones in the store were broken from ppl trying them out in the store. Thank you it's a great suggestion. ❤️🤗
