Everything I like to keep in my work bag to make busy workdays a little easier
A practical everyday bag that fits everything I need for work without feeling too bulky. I like having enough room for my essentials while still keeping things easy to find and organized

Makeup Bag For Purse
I’m a sucker for a good red wallet, and this one is exactly the kind I’d pick for myself. I love the colour because it makes something as practical as a wallet feel a little more fun. It has plenty of room for all my cards and everyday essentials so ...
Red Wallet
I use it for quick notes, reminders and random thoughts throughout the day and the size makes it easy to slip into my work bag without taking up much space
Small Notebook
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve checked my makeup with my phone camera so having a little compact mirror in my bag just makes sense. Perfect for a quick check before a meeting, after lunch or whenever I need it
Compact Mirror For Purse
A little hand sanitizer is something I always have nearby. I use it after touching shared office stuff or before eating when I can’t wash my hands right away. It’s such a small thing, but I definitely notice when I don’t have one
Hand Sanitizer
A small umbrella is perfect for keeping in my work bag, especially when the weather changes out of nowhere. This one is compact enough to barely take up any space so I can leave it in my bag and not even think about it until I need it

Things I like to have nearby for those unexpected workday moments, from a coffee spill to a broken nail or a tiny wardrobe emergency
I like keeping a stain remover pen nearby for little accidents at work. It’s tiny, easy to use and has saved me from having to spend the rest of the day staring at a coffee spot on my clothes
Stain Remover Pen
A nail file in my work bag has saved me more than once when I’ve broken a nail during the day. I’d rather take two minutes to fix it than spend the rest of the day catching it on everything

You never know when you’ll need a Band-Aid. I especially like the Aqua Protect ones because they’re waterproof, so I don’t have to replace them every time I wash my hands
Band-Aids Hansaplast Aqua Protect
I keep a lint remover nearby for when I notice fluff or hair on my clothes before a meeting. A quick pass and I’m good to go
Lint Remover
I always keep a mini Native deodorant at work. It’s small enough to leave in my desk without taking up much space and I like having it there just in case I need a quick refresh
Native Mini Deodorant
I keep these at work because they always come in handy. I use them all the time and I especially like that they don’t leave that weird sticky feeling behind
Hand Wipes

The everyday things I use to stay organized, comfortable and connected throughout the workday
I’ve always preferred spiral planners and this one is so easy to use. I love being able to leave it open on my desk and see the whole week or month at a glance. The weekly layout gives me enough space to keep track of everything without making planni...

Desk Organizers
