Office essentials!

Hi Gorgeous,

Whether you work in a corporate office or for yourself, we all have office supplies to get us through each day.  He are my essential supplies! ;)

KIEHL'S Ultimate Strength Hand Salve- if you work in the city (or are just very 'germ conscious') you are familiar with how continuous hand washing and sanitizing can really dry out your hands, nails etc.  This stuff is gods gift to dry hands and I literally cherish every single squeeze!

KORRES Lip Butter/ Beurre Pour Les Levres in Jasmine! I love this for a quick butter like, colored lip balm.  Its consistency is lovely and the color pay off is just enough for the natural look!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 68 CANDEUR - this is as much luxurious as it is sexy.  It gives your lips that glowy/dewy pink color that will brighten up any dull day or rough morning!

CARMEX- this lip balm will cure any chapped lip! From the freezing AC to the winter wind, this will get you through all year long!

YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch- for those mid day dark circles! Click and Swipe those bad boys away!

Gum- because yes, your breath does stink after your tuna melt!

Neutrogena Makeup wipes- sometimes you wake up in the morning and think you look great walking out of the house (ill blame the luminous 5am light - or lack there of) to only realize when you check the mirror at work that you look like you just did a drag tutorial- these guys will wipe away the fear! Or, just for those delightful spur of the moment rain showers that leak your mascara! This is a travel size which fits perfect in my desk drawer.

Bobby Pins - Bobbi Pins can literally save your life (*Please note that is not an actual medical fact). From keeping your hair out of your face, to creating a totally new style, or holding up that ripped hem- bobby pins are a must! And this case that these came in (believe its the goodie brand- I found mine in CVS) is genius! It keeps them all together :) which is great for a clutter freak!

Ibuprofen- because no matter how great our job/boss is, we all have 'headache' days.  I found this hilarious case of emergency Ibuprofen at Duane Read 'help, I have a headache'.

Your own Coffee/Tea Mug- sometimes its just nice to use your own mug instead of a paper cup or a corporate one! I love this personalized 'M' Mug from one of my fav. co-workers *KP* :)  You can find these babies at C Wonder- and PS. they make wonderful teacher/coworker/babysitter gifts!




Cheers to a beautiful you
