In case you didn’t know, I work part-time outside of my home. I thought it might be fun to share with you my top five workplace essentials – the things I always keep at my desk. I’ve found that bringing a little bit of comfort and a bit of my own personal touch to my workspace makes a huge difference in my day. Watch my video below to see the 5 things I always keep at my desk!
1- Hairspray
2 – Snacks
3- Blank note cards
4- Cleaning products
5- Something pretty
What do you keep at your desk? Anyone else a snacker like me?

Great items to have on hand! I technically “work from home” but I’m on the road in different offices 4 days a week. I don’t have a desk, but I do have a giant work bag and I ALWAYS keep a granola bar, hand lotion, and cough drops in there!

Great tips!! I loved having a snack stash, family pictures and a few pretty things at my desk when I was teaching. Your lysol wipes reminded me that my desk at home could use lysoling and maybe every friday would be a good routine for me to do my desk. I try to send seasonal candies for a candy bowl in Kevin’s office and thanks to your video I remembered to add that to my grocery list this week. I bet your co-workers love stopping by your office 🙂

You’re so thoughtful to send those things for Kevin’s office! Yes, I find that my home office desk gets neglected as well. It could probably use a good cleaning this weekend! 🙂

I love NutriGrain and granola bars, and of course I need to keep tea and a fun seasonal mug (or two) on hand at all times. It’s so easy to heat up water in the microwave and have a hot drink when you want it. I also like to keep a travel size Bath and Body Works fragrance spray and lotion close at hand. It’s nice to freshen up, and the bottles look pretty, too. 🙂 Fun notepads are also such useful decor.
Thanks for the cleaning wipes reminder! With cold/flu season knocking at the door, it’s time to stock up/replenish.

I try not to snack…it is a struggle but the old metabolism is not what it used to be!! I guess one corner of my kitchen counter is my office. I have my calendar, and a basket full of note cards, tape etc. Really my basket could use a good cleaning out. Blog post for next week maybe???

I have a mini office in my kitchen as well – it’s a great place for organizing the mail and paying bills!
