The Hybrid Hustle: 10 Things I Do to Get Ready for Office Day


Wednesdays are becoming my favourite day because it's the one day I make it into work. 

Not many know I mostly work from home and only go into the office once a week, so getting ready feels like a whole production!

  1. I'll try on about 10 outfits before finally settling on the ‘perfect’ one… and sometimes, I still wake up on Wednesday morning and change my mind last minute 😂. Yes, the indecision is real  👗🤷‍♀️
  2. Sort out my work bag like it’s a survival kit: AirPods, sticky notes,  notepad, Vaseline, Hand cream, sunglasses (summer essential), and a spritz of my favourite perfume 💼🧴😎
  3. Whip up spaghetti for the boys because hungry kids = no peace 🍝🙅‍♀️
  4. Pack the boy’s things for Wednesday like a mini logistics expert. Otherwise, I’m guaranteed a call asking where the shoes or water bottles are.🎒🗂️
  5. Charge my car so I’m not stuck playing roadside DJ 🚗🔌🎶
  6. Pick the tea cup that matches my mood (yes, I am that extra)  ☕✨
  7. Make sure my business card is tucked somewhere safe — gotta network, even on work days! 💳🤝
  8. Do a quick pep talk in the mirror. “You’ve got this, superstar.” 💁‍♀️✨
  9. Sneak in a last-minute scroll through my favourite playlist to pick the perfect commute soundtrack, currently loving Minister Dunsin Oyekan, and I listen on maximum volume  🎧🎵
  10. Apply mascara — but only once I step out of the car on Wednesday morning, because smudge-proof magic is real 👁️‍🗨️💄


Ready to take on Wednesday office day like the boss I am! 💥😉
