As the new year settles in, many Australians find themselves facing the familiar post-holiday slump, struggling to reignite their professional momentum. A strategic refresh of your daily essentials can be a powerful antidote, injecting new energy into your routine. For those in Perth and beyond, investing in a few key items can transform the daily grind into a more organised and stylish experience.
Start with the Perfect Work Bag
The foundation of any back-to-work refresh is a reliable and functional bag. The Pierre Cardin Leather Tote Bag, available exclusively online from Myer, offers a sophisticated solution. It comes in classic shades of black, navy, and chocolate, featuring multiple compartments with both zip and magnetic snap closures to keep your belongings secure and organised throughout the busy workday.
Hydration and On-the-Go Beauty
Staying hydrated is non-negotiable for maintaining energy levels. Matchbox stocks a range of Owala water bottles, including the popular FreeSip Twist Stainless Steel 24-ounce bottle in Sleep Lavender, available both in-store and online. For quick touch-ups, a curated selection of beauty essentials is a must. The Chloe Le Parfum Penspray provides a portable 10ml fragrance option, while the Grown Alchemist Lip + Hand Essentials bundle helps combat dry hands and lips common in air-conditioned offices.
Makeup Staples and Planning for Success
Having versatile makeup on hand ensures you're prepared for anything, from meetings to after-work plans. Myer offers travel-ready options like the Runaway Room Glow Palette Trio 3g Powder Compact Cool, a convenient three-in-one compact for blush, bronzer, and highlighter. The cult-favourite Clinique Almost Lipstick in shades like Black Honey, Nude Honey, and Pink Honey remains an everyday essential. Finally, to ensure a productive and organised year, a dedicated 2026 diary is key. The Wrap Weekly Diary A6 2026 in Canopy from kikki.k provides a stylish and functional way to plan your weeks ahead.
