Work From Home Office Makeover

Jan 30

I recently started a new job completely working from home. I think it’s super important to have a separate work environment from home environment so to treat myself I totally redid our home office!

Because I am a sucker for a good and quick deal I ordered almost exclusively from Amazon. Everything is linked for your easy ordering pleasure! Enjoy!!!

Some basics everyone needs no matter where your office is!!

Vaseline - the ultimate lip moisturizer. If you are familiar with my blog or know me at all you’ve heard me carry on about the joys of Vaseline MANY times!
Lotion - because no matter what office I am in my skin dries out like the Sharia. I only use Jergen’s Ultra Healing. It’s literally the only thing that keeps my skin from flaking off in the winter time
Kleenex - in the Flyover States, if it’s not allergy season it’s cold season
Calendar - it’s easy to loose track of the day, at least for me it is. I like a calendar with cork board on it so I can stick my important notes on it. Also it’s dry erase so you don’t one, waste paper and two, buy a new calendar every year!
Planner - the organized person’s best friend. I can’t deal with a small 5 x 7 planner, I need 8.5 x 11 AT LEAST! I pretty much live and die by my planner so the bigger the better
Wall Flower - good smells = good vibes. I am partial to Bath & Body Works floral scents
Phone Charger - because no one has a desk phone anymore and even when I did I never used it
Water Bottle - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Unpopular opinion, I am NOT here for the Stanley Tumblr. It looks like something my dad took to work back in the 90s. My basic self loves the large Starbucks cups! There is just something about a straw that helps you just suck down that water. Pro Tip: Buy extra straws!
Snacks - the worst distraction is hunger. Even better? A snack fridge! Keep healthy snacks, coffee, and water! Hydration is key! My favorites?
- Chips A’Hoy 100 Cal Thin Crisps
- Guilty Pleasure: Oatmeal Cream Pies
- Trail Mix - Individual Packets because I have no self control
- Smart Water
- Green Juice
- Fruit & Veggies - Pro Tip: I buy the trays from Costco and just eat off of them all week. Saves you all the cutting

So my husband works from home too so we had to come to an aesthetic that satisfied both of us. I came up with 3 different office styles and let my husband pick one. Obviously you will be able to pick out exactly what my number one choice would be…spoiler alert he didn’t pick that one… :(
