While makeup and beauty are my passion, it doesn’t pay my bills- YET. I went to school to study media communications, and work an office job in Portland. Here’s a list of my must -haves for my work day.
Cold Brewer / I prep a batch each Monday and keep it in the fridge. All you need are coffee grounds and water.
Yeti cup / Daily tea & coffee cup
Headphones / Along with using this to workout, I keep them in my purse. No wires and the sturdy case they come in are amazing.
Denim jacket / I keep a spare cardigan, scarf, and jacket at work. They double as blankets when it gets cold or come in handy when I forget to pack a bra for work lo. My “spare” jacket is from Target that I keep at work, but I linked my favorite one of all time that I wear nonstop.
Beis makeup bag / The perfect functional makeup bag. I keep perfume, CBD face spray, Tula rose glow balm, more chapstick and lip colors, spare contacts, diva cup, spf face lotion, & a mini hairbrush.
Blue light glasses / I was once a skeptic about blue light glasses, but I’m a believer now. This particular pair are my favorite, but amazon has great ones too. The ones I have are the Desi Perkins Quay collab and are on sale for $35
Planner / I used to be super picky about planners and would spend up to $80 or so back in my college days. While the pricier ones are beautiful, I got one from Target that I’m using for 2020. I use an Outlook calendar and a notebook at work to write down to-do lists and meetings, but for my personal lists I write in my planner- laundry, get prescription, list of my meals for the week, whiten teeth, etc. I keep it in my work bag and add to it as needed.
Hydroflask / I try to drink at least a gallon of water everyday and my big water bottle helps me with that. I’ve linked the new style that fits in a car cup holder, but I love the classic style ones I have as well. I’m big on the straw lid.
Collagen powder
Work bag / Holds my lunch, makeup bag, purse, planner,vitamins, etc. with room to spare.
Extra bag / these oddly come in handy so often.
Reusable ziplock / I have my everyday vitamins in this, but the intended purpose is for food. Bring a snack!
Lunch container / I bring in my lunch everyday to save money and attempt to be healthy. The key is to make dinners that have leftovers and make lunches out of it. Today’s lunch was this jalapeno casserole recipe.
Protein Bars / I have one for breakfast almost every morning at my desk. I work out in the morning before work and don’t like to eat before the gym.
That’s all I can think of! In my car I keep dry shampoo, deodorant, and makeup/ skincare bag I’ve mentioned in this /post.
