All over the World, a large percentage of us will work in offices and have our own desks or personal spaces. I have kitted my desk out with all that I need to get through the day, every day of the year! Here's a few desk essentials that I would like to share with you!
1. Vaseline!
Especially good in the winter months! I have extremely dry lips anyway so when I come into work on a morning I like to pop some on and it usually see's me through till lunch time before I have to put some on again! Its also good for the odd patch of dry skin around the nose when you have a cold (nothing more embarassing going around the office with a dry flaky nose!!) I use the Aloe Vera one because it feels nourishing and smells and tastes great!
2. Moisturiser
I keep this for 'no make up days' when I have forgotten to pop on or haven't had time in the morning I apply this at work usually twice in a day! I use a little tester pot of the CLINIQUE moisture surge extended thirst relief that I was given before purchasing the real one that I keep at home. Such a good moisturiser for really dry skin like mine and really works wonders! I find this size is perfect to keep on my desk without causing too much clutter!
3. Pain Killers
If you are looking at a computer screen all day you will at some point and time to time get headaches! Keep some painkillers handy you never know who may need them! In my experience - there's always one!
4. Chewing Gum
Especially after lunch and you have a meeting!
5. Hot Water Bottle
I don't know about yours... But my office is freezing in the winter! So I keep this wee fluffy hot water bottle to keep me cosy!
6. Post it Notes
For when you need to jot something down or when you aren't at your desk someone can leave you a note!
7. Headphones
When you have just been landed with a heap of work, what have you got to do? Plug yourself in, put on your favourite playlist and just work through it!
8. Phone Charger
When you have spent a little bit too long on youtube and instagram through the day you and you need a quick recharge!
9. Collection of desktop Elephants
Okay sooo this isn't essential but it does perk me up... So you may have already guessed but.... I LOVE Elephants!!! I didn't intend to have such a collection on the top of my monitor but I started with one, then two, then people were buying me them as gifts and I cant say no to that! Notice the one a colleague made me out of blu-tac also! These just bring a bit of quirkiness to my desk and are always a talking point!
10. Concealer
Since I am constantly tired I tend to rub my eyes a little bit more than I should! Leaving my dark circles to shine through! I dab on some Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and my make up is good as new!
That's just a selection of things I used day to day in the office. If you also share these things or I have inspired you to buy leave a comment!
Thanks! :)
Lots of Love,
