It looks like working from home will be the new norm and if you are still adjusting, setting small rituals can help you stay focused and motivated during this upside-down period. Take time to enjoy the little things, from making that morning matcha latte to setting up your workspace with these feel-good deskside essentials to make #WFH all the more enjoyable.

01 Diptyque Baies Scented Candle, SGD90 for 190g
One easy way to transform your space for work is to set the mood by lighting your favourite scented candle. Aromatic products can help clear the mind and help with stress relief, allowing you to find that work-life balance at home. Aesthetically, it can bring your whole desk setup together too.

02 Jo Loves Eucalyptus & Cedar Woods Hand Lotion, USD43 for 375 ml
Give your hands the TLC they deserve and desperately need from all that frequent washing and typing by keeping a hand cream within arm’s reach.

03 Laneige Cream Skin Refiner Mist, SGD33 for 120 ml
As you take a break and stretch between emails and meetings, remember to also keep your skin hydrated. A facial mist is an easy way to refresh tired skin, perk you up and most importantly deliver that dose of healing hydration. This one from the K-beauty brand can also be used as a toner, a quickie mask with the help of some cotton pads, with foundation for a dewy finish and even to tame flyaway hair. (via Laneige.com)

04 Nars Afterglow Lip Balm in Orgasm, SGD40
For moisture and a trace of colour, a tinted lip balm is your best bet. This one from Nars is moisturising and not goopy, comes in an easy-to-apply bullet and is infused with a blend of antioxidants to nourish and protect the pout. It’s also nice to have when that last-minute online meeting calls. (via Tangs.com)

05 Slip Large Scrunchies, SGD60 for 3
Put your hair up and dive into the zone with these scrunchies that don’t tug, pull or leave those annoying kinks. Made from the same silk used in the brand’s cult-favourite pillowcase, these cause less breakage and are so comfortable you can even sleep with them on. (via Sephora.sg)
