Must-Haves to Make Life Better

Must-Haves to Make Life Better

It's back to school, back to work, back to fall, and LifeMinute TV editor-in-chief Joann Butler shares the scoop on things to make life better for the whole family.

The back-to-school transition can be hard for parents, especially kids, so it's critical to help make the return smooth but fun.

A study found that 93% of parents agree it's important that kids get a chance to be kids, and Kinder Chocolate wants to help parents create 'bite-sized moments of togetherness and fun' with their chocolate bars.

They're sharable with a yummy outer layer of smooth milk chocolate and that creamy milky filling, and small and individually wrapped, which is perfect for the lunchbox or an after-school treat.

They come in regular, large, and minibars, and starting this month, a new 20-count laydown bag of regular sized is $5.99.

You can find them in grocery and convenience stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and CVS.

Next up, to make your shower time a self-care experience, OGX has reintroduced a few of their best-selling shampoo and conditioner duos.

It's the same iconic bottle and scent you know and love, but now even better with new formulas that protect hair from damage and loss of proteins and lipids (what make our hair strong and smooth).

Rich and hydrating, it makes your hair immediately softer and healthier after using it the very first time.

This one is made with real coconut milk and smells amazing.

OGX has no sulfates, parabens, phthalates, microplastics, or dyes.

Get it at Target for $10 each.

Another one of Joann's favorites, whether she goes wavy or curly, is Maui Moisture.

Their Lightweight Hydration + Hibiscus Water Shampoo and Conditioner leave you with soft, smooth, and weightless healthy strands without residue or heaviness.

100% aloe is the first ingredient.

Plus, it has passion fruit and juicy watermelon.

It is safe to use on color-treated hair, is vegan, and has no silicone, sulfates, parabens, or synthetic dyes.

It is also at Target for $8 each.

Lastly, a recent survey of millennial parents found that 41% said their toilets were clogged by their kids putting something they shouldn't have in there, with toys being the main culprit.

More than half needed to call a professional plumber for help, but with the Champion Toilet from American Standard , there's no need to call one.

It will flush all your worries because it's virtually clog-free and can even flush a bucket of golf balls.

It has the industry's largest trapway--4 inches.

It gives you a cleaner--and more powerful efficient flush every time.

It also saves water and will cut down on your utility bills significantly.

Plus, it fights stains with a special technology that prevents bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Get it in a range of designs that integrate seamlessly with their collections.

The American Standard Champion Toilet is on sale now nationwide at locations like The Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ferguson.
