Beat the Monday Blues: Our 5 Best Tips to Start the Week Strong

Still feeling the Sunday scaries when Monday morning rolls around? We've been there! These are 5 of our favorite tips, tricks, and product recommendations to beat the Monday blues...
Tip #1: Start the week with a tidy space.
It can feel impossible to be productive at a messy desk, and that stack of dishes piling up in the sink is sure to distract you from work or school. To kickstart your week right, spend 30 minutes on Sunday night tidying the house!

Tip #2: Drink water before anything else (yes, even before your morning cup of coffee!)
Drinking water when you wake up in the morning is the best way to rehydrate, get rid of your mental fog, and prepare your body for the day. We recommend a fresh glass of water before coffee, juice, tea, or whatever your morning go-to is!
Tip #3: Make a to-do list, and include some things you really enjoy!
Prioritizing your mental health is just as important as getting every other task checked off your list. Create time for self-care, play, and fun! Check!
Tip #4: Get the lingering weekend makeup and oils off your face for a fresh start.
We recommend our super soft microfiber towels for a gentle clean that eliminates the weekend buildup on your face.

Tip #5: Natural light always beats the blues.
Spend some time in the sun! Whether it's a poolside lunch break in the summer or a brisk walk to start a winter morning, time in the sun is the best thing to instantly up your mood. Just remember your SPF!
