My Top Six Work-From-Home Essentials
Near the end of 2019, I made the decision to sell my downtown studio and run my online business from home.
As I created my workspace in what used to be our upstairs playroom, I never dreamed that in just a few months, millions of people would be joining me in the work-from-home journey.
I’m thankful that I made the decision to move my office home before the decision was made for me. It gave me a couple of months to figure out what I need to craft a work environment that works for me.
It was definitely an adjustment, but now I’ve figured out what I need to be productive and comfortable in my at-home office!
And after months of trial and error, I’m ready to share my favorite work-from-home must haves!
Everyday Leggings
If you’re not rocking athleisure as part of your home-office attire, it’s time to start! I’ve noticed that my work brain is taking time to wake up, I need to move my body! These leggings are perfect for the office because I can wear them for comfort and function. If I need to hop in my Peloton, I’m already dressed and ready to go!
You can’t go wrong with classic black
Everyday T-shirt
This classic tee with a twist is as versatile as the pants I wear them with. I’m all about minimalism and like to keep a capsule wardrobe. This shirt is 100% part of my daily laundry routine so I can wear and re-wear day after day!
Adjustable Lap Desk
We all know that standing while working is healthier, but most of us aren’t ready to commit to a standing desk all the time, right?
That’s why I love this lap desk. You can’t use it in bed, on top of your normal desk, on your coffee table, wherever!
It gives me the option of having a standing desk when I want it, but I can still sit if I need to.
Win, win!
Smudge Kit
I can’t work well if I’m not also taking care of my body and my spirit. I start every day with a morning routine that feeds my spirit and bolsters me for the day ahead.
I typically meditate, burn a candle, some incense, or smudge sticks, and read, pray, a do a devotional.
I love this kit that has a few different options and comes with a cute little bag to hold it all together.
Smell is a huge part of keeping me grounded and at peace in the morning.
Marble Smudge Bowl
I love this marble bowl where I rest my smudge sticks or incense as it burns. The bowl is pretty enough to use just as a pretty styling piece, but I love that it’s functional as well!
Elegant Black Diffuser
I’m not going to leave my incense burning all day, so when it’s time for me to move from my morning routine into work mode, I turn on my essential oil diffuser.
I love this elegant black diffuser. It’s so beautiful that I don’t feel like I have to hide it when it’s not in use.
Smell is a huge part of mood and productivity for me, and I love that I can switch out my essential oils whenever I need to wind down or put an extra pep in my step.
