Workday Witchery: What gets me through the day

Over the last four years I have learnt that less is more when carrying half your life to the office. And sometimes, you need to be prepared to have a bad morning. So here are some of the things that are essential to getting me through the work day. And my Pinterest board for inspiration!

(Wish I could bring him to the office)

iPad - I like to do blog and social media edits when I'm on my lunch break. Personally I prefer a bigger screen to my phone and it stops the temptation to doom scroll.

Hairbrush and Hairbands - British weather is temperamental so it's always good to be prepared to tie my hair back if it starts pouring down with rain.

Perfume Atomizer - Buying a travel or mini perfume bottle feels like a waste of money when I can just use my big perfume to refill for work. I got mine when I was restocking on the Perfume Shop for £5 and has lasted me four years now.

Headphones - My office is pretty big and open plan so there is always a lot going on / being discussed. Personally I tend to concentrate better with music on in the background so I keep them on for most of the day.

Travel Mug and Coffee Sachets - I'll be real here, there is a Costa two minutes from my office and the temptation always seems to win me over. But in the spirit of saving money, I got a travel mug for Christmas. As an incentive it matches my phone case and I'm a sucker for co-ordination. My favourite sachets that are the closest to a takeaway coffee are the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato packets. I tend to use two to make the mug more full, plus it takes me four hours to get through a drink that isn't water.

Hand Cream - It doesn't seem to matter what the season is, my hands are ALWAYS dry. If anyone has a recommendation for a hand cream please let me know because I'm yet to find one that actually keeps my hands moisturised and doesn't smell medicated.
