21 brilliant things every lazy person needs
Posted by admin on
One of the most validating quotes I ever read was, "I'm not lazy, I just don't like doing things." That about sums me up on a daily basisI'm the person who waits a week to fold the laundry, who will leave dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher, and who prefers clothes that don't require any buttoning, zipping, or lacing (a.k.a. I live in leggings and slip-on shoes).
If you can relate, I hear you. Below are the 21 products that will make your life way easierbecause life is too short to spend it doing crap that you can let something else do for you, am I right?
