Photo by Jennifer Ryan Jones If you want to get ahead at work, and who doesn't, you'll need to go above and beyond the call of duty. Arrive early, be prepared, dress for success and you'll power through the work week. Equip your office to handle any situation and set up your desk as command central. Sure, you’ll need staples, pens and paperclips. But if you’re serious about taking your career to the next level, consider stocking up on some other job-saving supplies. There’s no reason to be caught with bad breath or a career-ending runaway nose hair. You can conquer most hygiene emergencies by stashing these grooming rescues right in your desk drawer. You can file them under W for winning!
Offer a fresh perspective. For those particularly swampy days, when you arrive at work already in need of a second shower, Duke Cannon Cold Shower Cooling Field Towels can be the next best thing. Cool yourself down from head to toe with one of these Menthol, Aloe and Jojoba wipes that will have you feeling as fresh as a daisy. And your conscience will be clean too, as a portion of the sales proceeds are used to benefit U.S. Veterans.
Never let them see you sweat. That gnarly commute, the looming deadline and your lunchtime workout can all have you soaking through your shirt. When you're in need of refreshing, swipe on some more Jack Black Pit Boss Antiperspirant & Deodorant. It will keep you dry and smelling nice without irritating your skin.
Save face. We get it, it's been a long-ass work week. However, forgoing your pre-shave and post-shave routine for a few more minutes of precious sleep can get downright bloody. Nicks and cuts happen. Don’t walk around with toilet paper stuck to your face. Keep a Clubman Pinaud Jumbo Styptic Pencil in your drawer. It will stop the bleeding fast by sealing the skin’s surface.
Put your money where your mouth is. If you want to keep them hanging on your every word, make sure your breath is fresh. Keep a toothbrush and some toothpaste handy. Just make sure your toothbrush isn’t collecting bacteria and dirt next to your pencils and paperclips. Gross! In a pinch Supersmile In-Between Mouth Rinse will get rid of that nasty halitosis. Just add water, rinse and that coffee breath turns minty fresh.
Take control of the situation. Because you’ll never know what you’ll find when you pull off a static generating winter beanie, keep Grooming Lounge Some Hair Cream handy. It will get those flyaway and frizzy hairs under control without shellacking your do to your head. “Stiffness, greasiness and flakes are not included”. You can xpect a nourishing and lightweight formulation that delivers just the right amount of control to finish out the work week.
Look alive. Don’t wear last night’s late night party on your face. Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer will help get rid of those tattletale dark circles and swollen under-eye bags. Prepared to get addicted to this cooling eye treatment made from Caffeine and refreshing Artic Root. It’s a soothing balm that will perk up your tired peepers and get you through that afternoon slump.
Have the right tools for the job. Nobody wants to be the guy sporting the stray nose hair or unsightly unibrow. While we’re not suggesting you should spend your work week manscaping yourself, this Tweezerman G.E.A.R. Essential Tool Kit could be a real lifesaver. It comes complete with nail clipper, multi-use nail tool, tweezers and facial hair scissors.
