“I am going to make everything around me beautiful

- that will be my life”

Elsie De Wolfe

Happy Monday everyone! Things have been quiet on the blog but I am happy to say that over the last few months I have been busy with a few projects. I am slowly getting back into the rhythm of work after it being radio silent for the last year or so. With life-changing due to the effects of the pandemic, I became more aware in regard to the way we consume everything in life. I have always been a minimalist and believe that '“Less is more” and have tried to adapt this notion within my surroundings. If you are anything let me, visual aesthetic is very important to you. Working on different projects simultaneously, I constantly have a million and one tabs open in my brain. As soon as one shuts, another one opens! I decided that in order for me to be productive at my screen then I would have to make a few changes. If my desktop looks good, it makes me feel good and I find that I am more productive. I am here to share with you a life-changing tip that will instantly change your generic mac computer screen into your own curated workspace!
