Make your desk your "happy place" with fragrant candles and music all day

partner

It's been a slow and sleepy day in the beauty department, thanks to the rain. But I'm still in a spring state of mind thanks to the teeny-tiny Japanese-peony candle I sparked up. I'm so charmed by the miniatureness and lovely scent that I'm going to start giving these as gifts. (As for the fire-hazard factor, I swear they have at least one emergency drill a day on our floor, so I'm not concerned.) My other two sources of at-desk happiness: an equally diminutive container of Jo Malone orange-blossom body cream, which I use on my hands whenever I return from the ladies' room--though the gorgeous scent lasts right through washes--and my rad striped headphones. I listen to playlists on pandora.com all day long; helps me get in the editing zone. What do you guys do to make your cube, office or desk a pleasant place to be?

    I wouldn't suggest to put candles on the desk,at least not in my office.You do it in yours if you have your own business and good insurence policy to recover from losses due to fire.

    I agree if left unattended. I have them lit only for the time that I require to complete the business at hand, and extinguish them when completed.
