Femme Fatale Guide: Office Essentials Every Woman Should Own
A sturdy, sleek tote that fits your laptop but isn't too bulky (with at least one closable interior pocket)
Laptop, AirPods/earbuds, portable charging system for phone/laptop
Laptop stand (changes the game, tbh)
Protective laptop case/sleeve
A planner and a black pen/another color pen for marking up your notes
Another notebook/pad for random notes or a running to-do list
A pen cup holder
A ziplock of hair-ties
Disposable toothbrush, Listerine strips, and travel-sized container of floss picks
A discreet feminine hygiene pouch or two with at least 2 products in it (you can use the additional pouch for extra underwear to be safe, honestly)
A simple, easy to zip and clean makeup bag
Lip balm
Hand cream
Vaseline/Aquaphor/Homeoplasmine
Mini stick antiperspirant or deodorant wipes
Travel-sized tweezers
Lint roller
Hand sanitizers
Disposable Shout wipes/stain remover stick
Travel-sized container of antibacterial and baby wipes
Band-aids
A pair of nail scissors
A mini nail file
Small sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast
Travel-sized hair brush
A pigmented lip color (or two)
Compact powder
Portable stick cream blush/brusher
Eyeliner/mini mascara
Eyebrow pencil
A snack pack or two of a protein-rich, plant-based snack (roasted edamame, roasted chickpeas, lupini beans, almonds, or Feel Protein bars are great options because they're portable and keep you full in a pinch without forcing you to reach for something unhealthy/not filling when you need to eat – you can also carry some freeze-dried fruit to pair alongside it if desired)
Pouch for keys, wallet, IDs, etc.
Blue-light glasses (for long days in front of a screen)

Phil is correct to run this up the ladder, but doing so will cost the team much-needed efficiency points. perhaps Jan should help out instead of being so negative.

Officecore.
Picture the scene: an open plan. PCs (specifically PCs) equipped with Windows 98, a fax machine, shredded tin foil and the crumbs of homemade ham sandwiches littered across the desk, workspace dividers for colleagues to lean over and chat with mug in hand (unsolicited), an assortment of names such as Sandra, Michael, and Stephen, wheely chairs, crumpled white shirts, artificial plants, your very own novelty mug that reminds you, eternally, that you are with stupid. All this can be yours and more when you embrace all that is beige, bulky, and office to the core.
It seems you really can yearn for anything. And with the pandemic reducing us to mere home dwellers for the best part of two years, it seems the stale romance of the office really is real. They are easy to mock, sure, but office spaces do indeed possess a unique look, feel, and energy—a vibe, if you will, and indeed must. That is why today we are reluctantly celebrating all that is #officecore.
We hope this finds you well x
