Working in the comfort of your home has its ups and has its downs. Some days you get the luxury of wearing your comfiest clothes, lighting your favorite candle, and opening the windows to let in the fresh breeze. Other days, you feel bored with a consistent routine and stuck inside with no one to talk to – we have all been there! That’s why we have compiled our favorite work from home must haves to turn your “other days” into your “some days”.

Set the relaxing ambiance with your favorite scented candle! We recommend a relaxing scent to ease your mind or something with a little tang to energize your morning. Something like ‘clean linen’, lavender, or eucalyptus. You can’t go wrong with either!

Did you know that you can also combine a few different scents to create your own soothing blend?! We love that there are so many different styles of diffusers to choose from as well!

Que your favorite songs, shuffle your favorite playlist and get to working! Yes, peace and quiet can be nice every once in a while, but music keeps you motivated and brings happiness into your space! There are so many amazing playlists out there – simply type in the mood/vibe you’re feeling, and see if it motivates you. Sometimes it’s listening to acoustic covers, piano versions of your favorites, or a playlist life ‘coffeehouse’ that is soothing to the soul.
