We Tried Burrow: The Modular Sofa in a Box Everyone's Talking About and It's Amazing. Top Story - June 2018.
Fairly recently, my office moved—and with it, moved a lot of our goods. We kept some of the cute knick-knackeries of the former office, but truth be told, we couldn't stand the idea of keeping the furniture from the old office. The chairs were painfully uncomfortable, and the tables weren't even stable.

Accessories for a Pretty & Organized Desk
What does your workspace say about you? It is a representation of you and could make a first impression of who you are to your colleagues. It reflects personality and shows whether or not you have a sense of creativity or compassion. It also speaks highly of your organizational skills. Whether you work in a cubicle or have a home office, your workspace is extremely important. It could provide you with the flow you need to be happy and productive, or in retrospect, its chaos could cause you frustration and the inability to focus. Or heck, maybe you just want a revamp because you’ve had the same set-up for 10 years and you're bored.

Cutest Korean Office Supplies That You Need to Have on Your Desk
Your motivation to work and amount of productivity definitely gets affected by what's laying around on your office desk. My desk used to be filled with really boring, black and white material, from pens to planners, folders, and even my laptop bag was black. At first, I wanted to look professional and minimize color for more sophistication, but I was wrong. I was really bored with the way my desk accessories looked. My desk looked lifeless and dull compared to what my coworkers had on their desks: colorful pens, folders, and even potted plants.

I Tried J+S Blue Light Glasses and Here's How Much They Changed the Way I Work. Top Story - June 2018.
As a newcomer to the workforce, I had no idea the effect staring at a computer screen all day would really have on my eyes. I mean, sure, I used my laptop a lot in college, but certainly not eight hours a day, five days a week. Needless to say, the transition has been jarring on my poor eyes (and body, but that's a whole other story). For months now I've been coming home every day and feeling like if I even so much as glance at another screen, my eyes will literally fall out of my head (it's fine, I'm fine). They simply can't handle the strain of staring at my computer screen any longer. The headaches and lack of sleep? I'm so over it.

10 Best Journals and Planners for Productivity
I was the most disorganized person ever. I'd forget events, did last minute assignments, missed my appointments, and forgot literally everything else because work was taking over my life. It would usually be really tough for me to be productive whenever it was my busy season. I wouldn't be productive to the point where I couldn't complete simple tasks like cleaning around in my apartment.

Mommy Making Ends Meet
Do you like full-size freebies? I recently joined a sampling forum called BzzAgent. Super simple layout and you don’t waste a gigantic amount of time for a sample worth 10 cents! The site asks you to enter a little bit about yourself; it also allows you to connect to Facebook (which makes signing up even shorter!). After the initial sign-up and account verification you simply fill out a couple surveys—these help them to identify the best samples for you! Next, you wait.... for what may seem like an eternity! It was actually just a couple weeks for me to receive my first campaign invite! They sent me the bottle above at NO cost! No shipping fee for the full-size sample! Upon receiving the product you are asked to try it out and give your honest opinion. There are no better rewards for an individual who loves the product than one who absolutely hates it and lets everyone know! However, I found my sample to be wonderful! I used it on my bedding and it left such a pleasant scent! I paired it with scented laundry soap... I suggest that you get an “unscented” soap if you get this conditioner. I think that would enhance the lavender, but haven’t personally gotten to try it that way. I am excitedly waiting to be chosen for another sample! Go ahead, give it a try!
