How to Create an Aesthetic & Organized Workspace!
Hi, friends! I know you’re here for my office makeover, but this blog post is going to give you so much more! I’ll link to everything in my makeover below, but be sure to also check out the inspo photos, free downloads, and my podcast interviews! If I’m missing anything, just leave a comment and I’ll update the blog post accordingly :) Enjoy!!

ORGANIZATION:
Did you know that you can download my wallpaper and desktop icons for free? Just sign up for The Hooga Shop’s newsletters and you’ll get the link from our weekly newsletters! The exclusive wallpapers will have encouraging quotes from my newest book, Forever Home.
Since I also showed my iPhone layout in the makeover video, I got a few messages asking me to share the cute widgets and wallpapers on my phone :) It’s all FREE! I got you covered. You can download my exact iPhone wallpaper in 4 different colors HERE. The widgets were created using two free apps: Widgetsmith and Shortcuts. Here’s the tutorial on how to change your app icons. Finally, I got some of my app icons for free HERE. Let me know in the comments if this helped!
On Monday, Nov 13, I’ll be hosting a giveaway with this beautiful keyboard (worth $230), so keep an eye out for it on my IG and YouTube! I also linked a few other more affordable options below. I had no idea there were so many cute keyboards out there! I haven’t purchased one since high school. 😅
I got the idea to turn this space into a beautiful, ergonomic oasis after I turned 31 and developed poor circulation from sitting too long and having a bad office setup lol! My husband thought that I made up an ailment when I told him I think I have deep vein thrombosis (thanks WebMD), but I swear it seemed like this was the case! Anyway, it’s only been a week since I changed my setup and the year-long pain has already disappeared. SUCCESS!!!
Fun fact: the ring light on my desk is actually a non-UV therapy light that’s meant to literally brighten your mood. It doubles as a normal ring light for your calls, of course, but isn’t that so cool? We’re just like plants :).
Having all the party lights turned on like this makes me feel like I’m sitting in a spaceship! LOL. At least now I won’t be getting comments like, “Where’s all the color?” BAM! Colors galore 😂 A little too much color, in fact! But I love that this setup gives me options to choose. If I’m overstimulated, I can revert back to a clean and white space. If I’m under-stimulated, I can turn on all the colors and get inspired!
Another reason why I embarked on this office makeover is because I’m starting to get booked for a lot of podcast interviews to promote Forever Home, and I noticed that my call setup was absolutely 👎👎👎. You can actually see it for yourself below! 😅 My sound was muffled in a lot of them, my video quality was dark and grainy, and my background was unrelated to what I was promoting (which was my book)!
Now that I upgraded my webcam to the Insta360 Link and hung up the huge poster in my background, the podcast interviews will be way more satisfying for my listeners!
I’ll be updating the list below as my new interviews get published, but for now I hope you’ll enjoy the content of our conversations! These have been some of the best conversations I’ve had in my life, especially because they were about topics that I have devoted my entire life to learning. May you be encouraged by all of these wonderful resources. ❤️
