What is a random item that makes your life easier? This morning, my friend Andy told me about his A person who loves to cook rice. “Put the rice in, press the button, and dinner is three-quarters done,” he muttered as we walked down the street. “Every time I do that, I think, ‘Wow! This makes my life easier! ‘”
Inspired, I asked the CoJ team how they would answer this question, and I’d love to hear yours too…

Lifesaver: Headache Solver
I stopped by my friend Lee Ji’s house the other day, and her son was wearing this. stupid hat shape. When I asked why (hell) he explained that it was for headaches. He said to keep the gel caps in the freezer and just put them on your head when you need them. How amazing is that??? I ordered one for my house too, and last night when I had a headache I put on a soft cooling wrap and felt so much better. 10/10, what a time to be alive.
