How to balance your work and life?

Have you heard of the saying, “work hard, play hard”? What if you are working so hard that you don’t have time to “play” or take time to relax and enjoy yourself? It is important to master the art of work and life balance, we are going to share some tips with you on how to balance it all.

Be sure to Prioritize

In order to make time for yourself after a day at the office, spend a few minutes in the morning planning our your priorities in order of importance. During your workday aim to finish the urgent and high priority tasks, don’t stress about the low priority tasks, there is always tomorrow!

Tip– Stay organized with the Simplified Planner from Emily Ley- Shop here!

Make time for Downtime

Busy schedule? Here is something else to add to the list- downtime! By physically blocking time in your calendar for yourself will help balance your life. You may also feel refreshed and limit the extra stress that can get your burnt out by the time the weekend approaches.

Know when to say No

Missing out on drinks with the girls one night in exchange for going to bed before 10 pm can be rewarding. Your friends will understand and you will feel relieved that one thing has been lifted off your plate. Don’t get me wrong, a night out with the girls is great but sometimes you need to know when to say no and take care of yourself first.

Disconnect

Make sure to take your time to yourself to its full extent. Don’t waste your few hours of downtime scrolling through your Instagram feed then realize your time is up! Simply disconnect yourself from social media, turn off your phone for an hour or two. Not only will you feel relaxed and content mentally, by disconnecting from technology your eyes will be thankful too! We spend hours looking at the computer screen and cell phone screen, your eyes need a rest too!

Leave your Work at the Office

Not only will leaving your work at the office help with your work-life balance, it will also ensure you are more successful when you’re in the office. Make your office your work space, when you get to work know you have tasks to do and a time frame to complete it by in order to leave without taking the work home.

Balancing it all takes time and practice before it becomes a habit. Work these tips into your lifestyle and you are on your way to successfully manage your work, time, and self-deserved relaxation.

Team Manna Celebrates National Donut Day While Maintaining the Perfect Pout!

It’s not everyday that we can eat donuts guilt free, since it’s a national holiday we couldn’t turn them down! National Donut Day is on a Friday this year, bringing donuts to the office is the perfect conclusion to the work week.

For this special day we conducted a little experiment. How does Team Manna keep their makeup on point while eating donuts?

Lip products usually end up on your food when you’re trying to eat. Which means you would be consuming that lip product. This is where the benefits of a primer and stain come into place! Our Manna Kadar Cosmetics Lip Locked is a 3-in-1 primer, stain, and gloss. To prevent the consumption of your lip product, the Lip Locked built in primer and stain will keep the color on your lips without the mess while the gloss locks in moisture.

It’s also a great idea to apply a setting spray after applying your makeup so it says in place all day, no matter how many donuts you might eat! If you don’t have a setting spray you can easily use hairspray. Tested by Team Manna, hairspray has a better consistency to hold onto the makeup. Most setting sprays seem to be diluted with water, that’s why we choose hairspray. Just make sure when applying the hairspray to your face that you keep it at a distance and close your eyes and mouth!

Now back to donuts! Team Manna enjoyed signature creations donuts from Poqet Donuts in Irvine, California. A cute boutique donut shop located near our office. Our teams favorite flavor was the Cherry Red Velvet! Manna Kadar has been on a Apply Fritter craze since her pregnancy begun, so she really enjoyed the Apple Pie Donut!

We hope you are all enjoying your Friday & National Donut Day! Be sure to celebrate and grab some donuts for your team! #NationalDonutDay
