1. Did this week fly by… or is it just me? I had a busy work week that kept me going non-stop. It has been an adjustment working from home full time but now that it has been five weeks I am adjusting to the new normal. Here are three of my top tips I have for focusing while working at home.
- Have a designated work space in your home. This doesn’t have to be an office or your own room. But a place you feel comfortable working from with minimal distractions.
- Limit access to your phone which can lead to distractions. I try and keep my phone around only in times I need it for calls or meetings.
- Take breaks, remember to get up to drink water, move your legs and give your eyes a break from staring at a computer screen all day.
Office Inspiration
2. In our home our office is also our guestroom. This inspiration photo from Studio McGee has me dreaming up new office decor ideas. While also highlighting that you don’t need to have a full room to make it an office, just a designated spot in any room that you can make your own special work space.
Weekend Sale Favorites
3. I shared new best sale finds on the blog today! SO many great sales going on right now, this is dangerous…
Also, Sephora sale started today! ROUGE members can shop at 20% off starting today, VIB with 15% off starting 4/21 and INSIDERS with 10% off starting 4/23 with code ‘springsave’.

Small Business Love
4. Mark got me this sweatshirt from Wholesome Culture as a gift and I love it! It’s made of organic cotton and SO soft. Currently on sale for $38 and 24% off.
Their goal is to inspire a plant-based lifestyle all over the world, to make our world a better place! I love that they give back 10% of profits to animal rescue and environmental organizations. Cute little online shop I highly recommend you check out to support this small business!
The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie
5. This is hands down my favorite chocolate chip recipe and what I made for us this weekend. I got this recipe from a close friend of mine’s sister and I have been trying to perfect it ever since. Here is the recipe!
Hope you enjoyed this week’s Friday Favorites – Work From Home. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
