The Beautiful Organised Desk. By Tonic Gifts

My love for all things beautiful, together with my addiction to stationery and office wares is now well and truly evident in our online store.  After much research and many a late night we are proud of our launch of beautiful office wares to help keep your desk tidy, organised and beautiful.

The Semikolon range office organisation products helps you to keep all your important papers, files and bits at arms reach. 

Here are some tips to help your desk top work better for you:

• The key is to not let paper and piles keep multiplying. Process each paper as it comes in, and get it off your desk.

• Make it a rule to always refile things. You can establish a special place the Semikolon private folder box sits on your desk top and is ideal for current projects, but otherwise put everything away.

• 
  

• Keep your desk free of clutter. It may tempt your eyes to roam, making time at your desk less effective. Put loose papers in clearly labeled files ("Tasks," "To Read," etc.) or color-coded ones (purple = medical, green = legal matter).

• Use the Semikolon private document box is ideal for catching your incoming tax invoices and current bills awaiting processing.
• 
  

• If you're concerned about remembering where you are going to put some notes you'll need for an upcoming project, note the location in your planner on the day or month the project is due.

• If you have taken files out of dead storage for a specific project, gather them up when the project is completed and take the time to put them back where they belong.

• Use your planner. It is invaluable for recording ideas in the working/developing stage. Instead of jotting down notes on scraps of paper and never knowing where to find them, you'll have one place to look when you want to refer back to that million-dollar idea, a clever paragraph for a sales letter, a new marketing idea, anecdotes or the details of a telephone conversation.

• Set aside time daily for doing paperwork. Choose an hour when there are few distractions—if at home, in the early morning before the family gets up or if at work, before the staff comes in. During this time, use an answering machine or your voice mail system to screen calls, have your secretary hold calls or have a co-worker answer your phone (you can return the favor at another time).

• Use the desk clock as an important ally. If you're procrastinating about something, tell yourself you'll work on it for "just 15 minutes." And use the clock to help you stop early enough so you will have time to put things away at the end of the day.

• Clean up your desk every night so there's no chaos when you begin the next morning.

Keep every thing beautifully organised, with our help.

Put Your Feet Up + Enjoy a Cup Of Tea...

At Tonic Gifts we are all tea drinkers, any time of the day is right to enjoy a cup of tea.  Our preferred tea is of course the very beautiful Tease Tea - available at Tonic Gifts.  Here are a few interesting facts about tea, so go on put the kettle on, make a nice brew and enjoy!

After water, TEA is the most consumed beverage in the world.

Tea has a high content of flavonoids -- plant-derived antioxidants. Antioxidants counteract free radical molecules in the body, naturally produced chemicals that help cause aging, cancer and a variety of other diseases.

Green tea is the best food source of a group of flavonoids called catechins (pronounced CAT-ih-kins). In research studies, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in stopping free radical damage to cells.

Green & black tea come from the same plant (Camellia sinensis), but their chemical content and flavors are different because they're processed differently. Green tea leaves are steamed before they're dried, which prevents the breakdown of catechins and preserves their green colour.

Black tea is made by allowing the leaves to oxidize and ferment, which gives it the dark colour.
           Weight Loss Help (lets face it will all need help with this one!)
It is believed Green tea may help speed up the body’s metabolism, helping to burn calories more quickly. One study showed that the caffeine in green tea, combined with the polyphenols and antioxidants, improved weight loss for overweight and moderately obese people.

A Chinese study published, showed that regular consumers of green tea had a reduced risk of high blood pressure, compared to non-tea-drinkers! (so all you stress heads, go green!)
 So what are you waiting for go pop the kettle on & pour yourself a cup of tea and feel the goodness flow through!

Sustainable Style with Murchison-Hume

Murchinson-Hume Premium Organic House-Cleaning Products available online at Tonic Gifts

We were recently introduced to the gorgeous Murchison-Hume premium organic cleaning products by our friends over at Tonic Gifts. We were amazed to hear the words “Stylish” and “Cleaning” in the same sentence! However, after reading more about the Murchison-Hume range were intrigued... “Why does everything made to keep a house clean have to be so ugly? Staring at a dizzying array of neon bright, pine-scented bottles and an army of royal-blue plastic buckets, this is the question that plagued Max Kater, when she traded her seat on the front row of Fashion Week for life as a Stay-at-Home Mother. Disenchanted with the odious and uninspiring options on offer to the design-conscious Housewife, she decided to create her own range of premium housekeeping products. Her ambition: Simply to create the finest household cleaning products in the world. That meant they had to be Ecologically Friendly, superbly effective and easy to use but above all, they had to look and smell gorgeous.” Packaged in charming old-fashion brown glass apothecary-style bottles, and infused with delicious essential oil based fragrances, these are certainly not your everyday supermarket-shelf cleaning products. However, aside from the stylish presentation, the main point of interest of the Murchison-Hume range is the fact that it is the world’s first ever premium organic housecleaning product. Using Colloidal Technology (the same technology used to clean up the ocean in the event of an oil spill), Murchison-Hume is superior to regular “Eco-Friendly” housecleaning products in both efficacy and non-toxicity. It is completely safe to use, causing zero negative effect on the environment and is actually used commercially to improve wastewater and as a soil conditioner in its concentrated state.
