The CC Collection: New Tools for New Times at Work

We start new phases of our lives, new relationships, new careers, and new adventures on any given day of the year. 

With some "new" experiences, we admit we love to treat ourselves to a physical token to make the start. Whether it's a new work tote, a powerful pair of shoes, or a blank notebook to fill with your brilliant ideas, go for it! 

Whatever your “new” is, these are a few of my favorite tools and adventures ranging from settling in more deeply to traveling the world, and many reset nights in between! 

ABLE, Mamuye Tote & Capsule Wardrobe

The only words to describe the Mamuye Tote is truly The Perfect Sized Bag.

Work Computer? Fits perfectly.

Packing extra snacks for your commute? Yep, those fit too. Absolutely done with work for the week and bringing some wine, cheese, and crackers over to a friend’s place? This bag carries it all.

Simple and professional, while incredibly functional and durable. We all know how critical a good work bag is! But what makes this brand so fun to shop is that they apply that same functionality and high quality to their clothing, too!

Some of my favorites include:

Their entire collection is built for whatever the day brings—whether it's work, picnics, errands, parenting, or *accidentally* napping while you procrastinate that presentation. 

Laurel Denise, Big Picture Planner

This Big Picture Planner has a layout unlike I have seen - and I have seen many, many planners. I so appreciate the uniqueness of having open lists right next to a monthly view, saving me endless hours of rewriting events from my monthly view into obligatory daily lists.

This undefined space has endless opportunities this year—recipes from that coworker that was eating lunch on Zoom, a list of achievements to make writing a year-end review easier, all the things to unplug from and not stress about for the weekends. The world is truly your oyster. 

They also have an incredible pack of Washi Tape that goes perfectly with tagging various themes in this planner or repairing your to-do list that somehow got ripped apart. 

My Tappas, Food Container

While I had big plans about using My Tappas for office potlucks, I am equally excited to be using this innovative food storage for meal prep for my home office all week.

Three various-sized containers perfectly house fresh vegetables as an easy way to bring it back to my workspace, or an aesthetically pleasing way to intentionally step away from work for lunch. Easy to store, clean, and feel good about the natural materials used to manufacture, My Tappas is as adaptable as we will need to be as we embrace change this year! 

Payne & Comfort, The Basic (Heating/Cooling Pad)

For those of us who regularly go hard, diving into new challenges or exercises or long work days with both feet, this heating/cooling pad is absolutely essential to getting us back on track.

Handmade and able to go into the freezer or microwave depending on your self-diagnosis, this reusable pack can and should be used for muscle fatigue as often as brain fatigue and headaches. I also hear it makes a wonderful cushion for the moments you want to bang your head against your desk! 

Routine & Things, Affirmation Sticky Notes

Taking on a new anything is hard. Even starting a new day can be challenging enough to need a little extra reminder to keep going.

These affirmation sticky notes should be put everywhere you may see them - bathroom mirrors, in front of your computer camera, in notebooks - and read aloud as often as possible. These may seem like a simple sign of support but they are an incredibly helpful tool! 

Good Juju Herbal, Bar Soap & Natural Body Care 

Although I initially fell in love with the travel set, there is so much more to Good Juju Herbal skincare that doesn’t require us to leave our house.

Whether resetting with a face mask (the dead sea face mask is absolute magic) the night before a big day, or simply leaning on these incredible-smelling-all-natural-long-lasting hand soap bars to keep us healthy and safe, Good Juju Herbal is not only amazing for us but does endless work to keep giving back which is a resolution we can all get behind! 

The Travel Challenge Book, Europe

If you are looking for a new challenge to take on this year, let this book be your inspiration! The Travel Challenge Book is not only a helpful aid for looking to plan your itinerary for a trip abroad, but it helps capture the best memories and moments from your adventure.

Built for any and all travel arrangements - from traveling alone for a long trip hopping country to country to traveling with a group to specific destinations for many years to come, this book is fantastic at expanding your perspective to other worlds (or at least other continents!).

While I love my two-day shipping, it is time to put our money in the spaces that represent our values and enable leaders who will ensure equal pay and opportunity because women earning $0.82 for every dollar is simply unacceptable.
