Working from home during COVID19
The pandemic is still with us and as time has wears on, there are certain work from home essentials we keep finding ourselves going back to.
The ‘work from home’ sweats
You can never go wrong with sweats, be it a a good pair of sweatpants, tights or sweatshirt like these SeSe Code Pullover Sweatshirts for Women. These work from home staples are great all year round, be it cold days or chilly nights. In fact, Trevor Noah’s sweatshirts have become just as famous as his ‘Daily ” Social Distancing” show’ in YouTube.
The work/home nail kit
Your nails look crazy and as much as you enjoy a good pedi or mani, you may be on a budget depending on how COVID 19 has affected your income. An at home nail kit will help you keep your nails neat and trimmed. A great work from home essential if you ask me. Especially if you don’t fancy raggedy nails distracting you as you type.
The humble Dira
The dira is a staple in many a Kenyan woman’s wardrobe, some people (from mars) like to refer to them as kaftan’s or mumus. Here they are simply known as dira. They are humble and modest about the work they do. Diras do not boast, they just exist. An essential for the days when you don’t need a reminder of what ‘coro coro’ has done to the circumference of your stomach.
Kitamba/Head wrap
What was only for night time has also become a daytime staple. Your hair does not need to be exposed all day, there is no need to style it elaborately if you are spending most of your time indoors. The trusty kitamba will keep your ends from getting entangled and if you are dashing to the shop, a more stylish headwrap can be thrown on to give your look a semblance of put togetherness.
Leggings
Way too comfy, leggings like these Libin Women’s Fleece Lined Leggings High Waisted Tummy Control Thermal Lounge Yoga Pants Navy Blue L can easily become your go to for everything. Working out at home, chilling, doing yoga, sleeping…nipping out for some errands, taking zoom calls with a shirt on top…the list is endless. So yes, in this times of gloom and doom, leggings will hold you up in the light of goodness. That is until they get old and runny. Still, they are a must have work from home staple.
