Desk Sides: Our Work From Home Essentials
Hands up if you are currently working from home 🙋
You are most likely doing so at an improper desk set up too. (Hello kitchen table) #WFH may be the new normal and its time to adapt. Keeping a few key all natural items near your keyboard will help you stay present, relaxed and focused. Embrace moments of self care when you get to take them (and make them a priority) We've handpicked our favourite desk side products plus some
tips for keeping your work area productive and healthy. (Also - check out our Deskside Bundle to get all three of our work from home essentials!)
Drink Water
Okay, seems obvious but when you consider you spend most of your time at work it is important to keep your hydration levels up. Skip that second coffee and get your agua! Proper hydration helps boost metabolism and reduce daytime fatigue. And hydrated body = hydrated looking skin (which we can all use)

Give Yourself a Massage
Have you ever stopped and realized the squinty face you are making while reading an email or document? If only we had a mirror to show us what we are doing to our brows while skipping through work on our computers. Grab your Gua Sha and drag it along your jawline, forehead and brow area while you read. Take it down your neck and shoulders. It will release muscle tension and prevent any stiffness later on.
Get Moving
Take some time to go for a walk, eat your lunch standing up or watch this 2 min video and stretch it out. Movement is important to implement into your day-to-day routine.
Beat the 4pm Dullness
No one looks fresh once the clock passes 2pm. For quick skin suppleness, roll on our Carrot Seed based Face Oil and to nourish your face instantly. Get that glow from Jojoba, Almond Oil + Vitamin E plus it even doubles are an ultra rich lip treatment.
Take Care of Your Hands
With all the extra hand washing we are doing these days, you are going to need some extra hydration. Our lightweight Detox Body Lotion is fast absorbing and mega hydrating with aloe vera oil and avocado oil. With an uplifting essential oil blend of lavender, grapefruit, blood orange and vanilla its the perfect midday pick me up!
