The Setup, Tools, and Tricks
The “etcetera stuff”: desk, how I keep equipment clean, ergonomics aligned, and blue light blocked!
This is my standing desk! I LOVE that it's adjustable height with a handle rather than electric (which can break). You can keep both drawers, or take one out to give you more leg room when you're sitting. #ad
Husky 2-Drawer Adjustable Height White Workbench Table with Solid Wood Top (52 in. W x 24 in. D) HOLT5202BJ2

OXO Grips Electronics Cleaning Brush
When you don't want the more yellow-tint of the stronger blue light blockers. I use these for meetings!
LadyBoss Glasses | Blue Light
I stare at screens *all* day long, and these are a nonnegotiable! I have several different styles. I really like this brand, and the fact that you can get progressive lenses to add more protection from other lights as you get closer to evening, to re...
Vivarays | Blue Light Blockers (Dusk Magnetic Daytime)
Since I'm surrounded by Wifi and EMFs all day, this was worth the investment, and after researching, I was excited to give this a try. I have one in my office and my bedroom.
Qi-Shield™ Portable EMF Device
Okay, hear me out. I use this as a wrist pad, laid out on the desk. It helps keep me in proper typing alignment, without having to spring for “ergonomic wrist support” materials. And, if you're stressed, use it for its intended purpose! 😂 #ad
DreamTime Comfort Neck Wrap Aromatherapy Pain Relief

The actual technology being used for the job!
My first time with an Apple keyboard, and I'm sold. It took me a bit to get used to not having to push so hard on the keys, but now it's a great flow! I've had it for over 4 months and still haven't had to charge it…very impressed.
Apple Magic Keyboard w/Numeric Keypad - US English
I thought I would NEVER get used to not having actual buttons or a scroll bar…but I'm sold. This is super sleek.
Apple Magic Mouse - Black Multi-Touch Surface
If you are stuck using Teams instead of Slack (I'm so sorry. I feel your pain!), this headset at least makes virtual meetings a bit easier. LOVE the easy connectivity and audio clarity, AND the attached mute and volume + and - buttons on the cord. #a...
Poly Blackwire 3310-M USB-C Headset Teams
This is what allows. me to have multiple things plugged into my computer at once. Contains a USC-C, HDMI, and USB, and uses a USB-C to plug into my mac.
USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter
This is what allows my mac laptop to “talk” to my external monitor. #ad
Uni USB C to HDMI Cable (3FT)
This is the official dock my corporate company recommended for making everything link and sync together! #ad
Kensington SD5600T 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 Dock
I *definitely* wanted a second monitor and it changes the game. Highly recommend the dual monitor setup, if you've not tried it yet. #ad
Acer Vero V7 Series | Monitor for Work & Home | Acer United States
This is my favorite work laptop I've had so far. No complaints. I use an external keyboard and mouse, and they connected seamlessly. #ad
MacBook Pro 16.2in M4 Max 14-core CPU 32-core GPU 36GB RAM 1TB SSD
One of my favorite purchases… to make the dual monitor set up work and keep my ergonomic alignment, this adjustable stand is great. This way, whether I'm sitting or standing, the laptop can move with me. #ad
