This is great if you have a 3 prong outlet that’s grounded but it cannot be used with a three prong adapter. So just keep that in mind when ordering. If you’re looking for a two prong, I have another similar one that is 2 prong and under 1k watts.

Did you know coffee makers can be used for more than just making coffee? I’ve used mine to make ramen, heat water for oatmeal, tea, etc. you can also use it to clean water. Just a good thing to have on hand.

In need of a mini fridge? Have no fear! This one is just under $150 dollars in store at Walmart. I’m sure you could order for delivery or pickup as well. Keeps drinks and sandwich meat cold. To keep dairy cold make sure it’s on a good setting.

This filters water so well and saves you money on water bottles, the filter lasts two months. Walmart also sells great value brand filters, not sure how well those work, but they are like a fraction of the price the Brita brand filters are.

These are the regular 2 month filters, about $8 dollars. They works great and I love the taste of our water.

These are great value brand water filters, I haven’t personally tried them but If your trying to save on money these might work for you. They’re about $5 dollars and they are compatible with Brita pitchers.

These are a bit pricey but they each last about 6 months, so if you buy one pack for $30 your set for a year. I recommend these if you don’t wanna be replacing the filter every 2 months.

This is the bed frame I’m currently using and it’s very sturdy. It doesn’t make a lot of noise and it holds both me and my boyfriend’s weight very well.

It’s quite small, but it works in little spaces. It’s cute, a little on the pricey side for the size but I love the look of it and I can fit it pretty much anywhere in my room. I would also love to use it as a side table in my living room in my futur...

I use this fan literally everyday! When I sleep at night, when I smoke(for the smell, smokers know), if it’s feeling warm in my room, to circulate fresh air. I would die without this fan.

I wanted to link mine, but unfortunately it says it’s unavailable. This one is super similar to the one I currently have, in fact it’s a little nicer. Although mine came with a stool, this one is quite cheaper and nice for the price!

This is the chair I use, not super big but it works for the price. It gets the job done and it doesn’t take up a ton of space, which I like.

I really recommend getting this for hanging stuff up if you don’t want to put holes in the wall. It sticks really well but you have to be careful taking it off, it can rip the pain. I recommend using a blow dryer to loosen the adhesive when removing ...

I would definitely reccomend getting some of these for your vanity, or even another drawer you need to organize. It helps so much with separating small things and keeping your stuff easily accessible.
