Productivity Killeres at home and how to overcome them! | Luma Wifi

I hate working from home. I don't know exactly why but I can never ever really focus from home. I can't even work on my blog! And I've always been like this. When I was in college, I used to go to campus to study every day. And thank god my university has a few rooms that are open 24h for the students to go study and work, otherwise I don't know how I would be able to finish it. I spent so many nights there! And even today, I go to the office on weekends that I need to work. Or to Starbucks. I work better at Starbucks than at home!

And since Back to School Season is just around the corner -- can you believe summer is almost over?! -- I've decided to try and round up everything that I've found to be a productivity killer from my home and I tried to come up with some solutions for them!

1- Messy Desk


My desk, at home, is always messy. I mean, I have bills, junk mail, cords, products, old notes, and even cloths, on top of my desk And just the thought of having to clean up, clear some space, put everything where it belongs... Just kills my -- not that big in the fist place --  willpower. I'm sure this happens to you a lot too.
This has a very simple solution --  I need to be more careful where I leave my stuff. It is important to put everything in its rightful place right away. My mom always tried to teach me this. I guess she was right after all.

2- Food


Okey, I have to admit that food is one of the biggest distractions that I have at home. It just makes me waste so much time. Cooking, and cleaning up. Then I'm hungry again, I go to the fridge, than the pantry. I can't find any snack. I decided to go to the store, I buy a bunch of junk food. And the whole afternoon has just passed by. 
This problem is something I've already dealt with, and this has been working super well for me. I've been buying food that I can cook that don't need to much supervision. I really like thinks that I can just stuck in my oven, like fish sticks or something like that. And I eat it with some salad. No mess at all, and just one dish to wash. As for the mid-afternoon snacks, I buy individually packed oatmeal cookies, and I buy just enough to last me one week. And I only eat one. Because If eat more than one, I won't have it for the next day. And I try to feel my self up with water and tea.



3- TV-Shows


Some people have a problems restraining their-selves from social media, I have a problem restraining my self from watching 10 seasons of a tv-show in a weekend. And I have no solution for this. I just can't allow myself to start watching any new TV-show if I have things to! 


4- Slow Wifi

This is the thing -- I mean THE THING -- that annoys me the most in life. If I'm working from home, and I need to submit a file or access something from our cloud, and if the internet is not cooperating... OMG this just annoys me so much and makes me want to break my computer in half! 
Solution: Luma Surround Wifi! This is the best wifi system I've every seen. It's the best! It helps you create your home network, showing you where you should place the routers to have an optimized network, so you can have super strong signal in all your rooms! The system is composed by 3 routers that you position throughout your house. You can control the system using an app on your phone, and the routers themselves are just super cute! It is a bit expensive, but I honestly think it's wort it. I would love to have this system on my home! You should definitely check it out! The routers really look like a piece of decor! Amazing and functional! 



Can you work/study from home or are you just like me? And if you can, what is your secret?

I thought I had lost my trusty beauty blender. I'd look for it every where. Turns out, it was in my closet under a woven chest/basket! My poor beauty blender, it was completely smashed!
I soaked it in some water and he immediately restored his shape (thank god!)

Inbox | Gamiss.com

Yesterday I've received this box with a few goodies from Gamiss.com. This is another Asian-type store, that sells a huge variety of products, including cheap awesome cloths!


I haven't really used any of this products, but my first impression is that everything looks really nice. The quality is not bad at all. The bikini feels really nice but unfortunately it is a little too small for me (the panties are really small, but the top fits me really well. I ordered an M). But I love the pattern and the shape so much!



The watch, is OK.The bracelet doesn't look to shaggy. The only negative comment I have is the writing on the inside that does not appear in the picture on their website! And I don't like this letters on the inside, and for me makes the watch look like a cheap watch.



But the pièce de résistance is really the top. I am really obsessed with this top. I love the colors, the fabric is just super soft and flowy. It really looks -- and feels -- super expensive, no joke. I know I'm going to wear this top for work all the time! It came with a tag that shows how much it could be sold for. But it was super cheap -- like 5 or 6 euros! And because of this, it has sold out completely on the website! This is why I love this store. You can find really nice stuff, for a really small price! You should definitely check it out.
