I can not emphasize enough how much I recommend getting an ergonomic mouse! The Apple mouse mouse is very pretty and all, but every time I use it or the touch pad on my laptop, I literally want to chop my hand off in the evening because of the pain. An ergonomic mouse is not the most beautiful contraption, but oh my gosh it makes such a difference. It’s made so that your hand is in a natural, relaxed position - like a handshake 😊
Sticker idea!!! Plant stickers, with little watering cans, reminders to water your house plants! A sheet of those, I could really use some! Sending love from Canada
Omf yes as an office worker the repetitive strain in your wrists is no joke!! You should get a carpal tunnel wrist brace, i got one off Amazon and the metal in it stops you making the repetitive motion that's hurting your wrist. Lifesaver. I hope you are in less pain now.
It's a joy to hear your happy and polite voices. Of course, it's very freshing to watch you busy in working and at the same timejoyfully introducing your work. I'm glad to find your Vlog, lovely girl!
Yes! Midline highlighters! I felt the fool not knowing they were double tipped! I love how you say “organza” ❤ And living by the sea?! Oh how beautiful!
i love these kinds of "pack with me" videos that you make. they really inspire and motivate me to get my own work done, even if it isn't packing things. just working on homework or journaling or budgeting or video planning! thanks for all the work you put into these.
I'm a designer, artist, and writer, so I get that pain in the wrist too. I use a brace when I need to work, take a break if I can, and do the 20min ice, 20min heat press method. I'll also rub some Tiger Balm/Icy Hot/Vick's Vapo Rub on the area as that will get into the skin and soothe those muscles and tendons. As for the lights: The IKEA NYMANE 4 spotlight ceiling lights are $44.99 american You can also try those paper floor lamps in different spots. Wall sconces. Also, this may sound weird, but there's this "Beyond Bright Garage Light" LED that you can screw into a light socket and it is super bright. We got two for our garage, but only needed one and it helped tremendously.
Maybe a babypink backsplash if you can find it in that color. I think the same color of lighting will make your space feel more cohesive as well! Everything looks so nice! Have to try the method you were talking about for procrastinatros.
As someone that works on the computer all day - it is important to give your hands and back a break. I try to stand up and stress 1 - 2 times an hour as I am on a computer 8-9 hours a day. Make sure if you can to get a wrist rest for your computer station it helps cushion them as the angle of our hands can really mess them up. You can look for a wrist brace if it persists.
I get the same pain in my hands and wrists from working as a graphic designer. My doctor said to start using a wrist rest with the mouse and to have my elbows resting level with my wrists. When your elbows hang over the edge of your desk it puts a lot of stress on your hands and wrists. These changes have helped a ton when working on projects at the computer.
When you said how these little things really have an impact on what we do. Omgoodness yes! I have not been doing anything at my computer because I can’t find a comforter chair. And it sounds like you’ve got tendinitis in your wrist. It might be helpful to use a wrist support that you can get at the pharmacy or drugstore. It’ll wrap around your wrist. Also warm compresses help a lot too. Love todays video wish I could buy one of everything! 💕☺️💕
In case no one has told you, your nails are sooo cute in this video! Love watching you (from Cali.), thanks for keeping me entertained while I work from home!
Oh wow!!! You inspire me so much...love all the colors!! It is so relaxing, love all you create. Wish you the best!! Thanks for making videos like this!!💞
I would constantly get wrist pain free computer work but a workmates wife uses an ergonomic mouse. It's more of a natural way for your hand (holding mouse on side) rather than palm face down which isn't natural. Hope it makes sense :)
Definitely take a look at mouse and keyboard wrist pads. They are like elevated squishy pads that sit in front of your keyboard and mouse that you rest your wrists on. They have helped me so much in the last two years.
For wrist pain, when my pomodoro app goes on the big break, I stretch my wrist by gently pulling my hand back and forward. I also try to stretch my whole body and get my legs moving for circulation
It’s always a good day when Catherine uploads! Thank you so much for making these videos! They keep me company when I’m working and you gave me the inspiration to start my own business! Love you! 😘
I feel like you felt a lot better than your last two vlogs (or that is the impression im getting). Very happy your not leaving your current studio, because this is the one I love the most!
ahh my heart skipped a beat when you grabbed all the water jugs and put the little bottle on top haha knowing how clumsy I am I would've dropped everything 😅 ooo maybe sticker on tiles in pink would look super nice too! 💞 💞
Could you please talk more about the Pomodoro method? What your work days were like before using it, and how you were disciplined enough to start following it? I’m interested but just don’t think I’d be able to follow it.
I also had issues with my wrist as I spend majority of days on computer and I tried to buy special ergonomic mouse but it still wasn't good enough and then I tried to use my small Wacom tablet instead of a mouse for working and it got much better. It is not perfect for using all the time as mouse is better for excel and stuff and you can't really use it for games on Pc but for office job it is a really a big improvement and I don't have pain in my wrist/hand from clicking. Also if you sit on a stool without a back of the chair then I would recommend some nice office chair with back support. It does make a difference :)
I think you should wear a compression gloves for your wrist well my wrist pains too as I do a lot of crocheting and I also have rheumatoid arthritis so I have ordered compression gloves for myself
use a jell/sqishy wrist rest for keyboard and mouse...As an acquisitions librarian that works all day on the computer I was having same problem to the point of not being able to open the tooth paste, button my shirt, or open a jar. The rests and making sure your arms, back and legs are all in good positions help. I got some off of Amazon.
I've had a bad back in the past. The best solution I found was yoga poses for the back, especially spinal twists and hip opening stretches. Nothing too difficult just look on RUclips....I'm a graphic designer and cartographer as well and I use the bean bag rests for my wrists....Hugs!!!!
I do an office job and work on a computer 12 hours a day. I ended up with carpal tunnel syndrome at the age of 29 and had surgery on both hands. so I would say get the equipment now to avoid that maybe like a roller mouse like I have or wrist support cushion that goes in front of your keyboard and take lots of breaks xx
I am a VA and am in the computer SO much, and as such I developed wrist pain, similar to carpal tunnel. Get yourself a good wrap around velcro wrist brace. I usually just have to wear it a day or so when I have a flair.
So great to see you packing bits and pieces again, and more involved with every aspect of the company (which no doubt you were but we weren’t seeing it) plus we get to see the products again and this makes us want them. ❤️❤️
You asked if we liked chatty or quiet vlogs. I wished there was a button for both. I like the mix you do. A little of everything is good. Don't change. Miss your travel vlogs also!!
Sleep with a wrist splint (the fingerless ones) to help prevent you from flexing your wrist and fingers at night thus preventing more pain in your wrist. If you are getting numbness and tingling to your first 3 fingers, go see your doctor because that's indicative for Carpal tunnel syndrome which is extremely common in people who do a lot of computer/office work!
I love the pomodoros too! I had a wrist lesion and my therapist told me to try drawing in pomodoros sections and rest for a bit, then start another one. So far it's been nice and I keep track of my daily worked hours!
Hi Catherine! I found you around May last year and, after seeing a few of your videos where you mentioned your old studio & how you started, I decided to go back and see all your videos in order, so I could see your journey. And oh my, it has been so amazing and inspirational to see you grow! I started the day (most days) seeing one of your studio vlogs and it brought me so much joy and inspiration, also, you're such a positive force that my days always started on a positive note. 😊✨ Thank you for being my inspiration and company all of these mornings (I'm gonna miss not having new vlogs to watch 😂), I hope someday soon I can support you on Patreon and send you a little parcel to thank you for the inspiration & all that you do. 💕
I would suggest getting an economic mouse and keyboard, make sure your arms are always at a 90 degree angle and during your short breaks do hand and wrist stretches
Could you make a packing orders video? Maybe with just some of your nice upbeat/chill music? I've been craving some packing videos like that, but can't find what I'm looking for, I think mostly because it's not on your channel. Lol
I just had my wrist checked for pain in the exact same spot you mentioned. I was told it's from overuse and there could be a small cyst in there that will go away on it's own. Rest helps as well as wearing a support brace when you do need to type or use your mouse a lot.
I think a few others have suggested a gel pad for mouse and keyboard. I had to try several before I found the one that was just right for me - made a huge difference. I slept with wrist braces and that helped a lot. Doing that I found I did not need them during the day and could manage with the wrist rest. I did eventually need carpel tunnel surgery but was able to delay by 15 years by using the rests and splints. Oh, and taking a break every 20-30 minutes.
I don't think my comments are getting published so I can't share my website, even if I make it look like normal text. But thank you for sharing the leather journal and the sticker you chose is the best! 😍
Oh my goodness, I had to laugh when you unpacked that chair/stool. 😁 It looks sooo uncomfortable to me. It reminds me of a child’s rocking horse. I can’t wait to hear your final verdict!💕
For your wrists, try to make sure you have your hands level with your forearm when typing, like a plank of wood. There should be less stress that way. 💗 I've delt with tendinitis myself and know the constant ache. ❤️
Aww Catherine! Your videos always make me so happy. I love the Old timey music you play in the BG. Reminds me of walking through Disneyland lol. Also, I recently switched from my Keurig to a drip coffee machine. It's much better for the environment, and the Keurig pods are just really terrible. On top of that, I feel like they don't last very long until they break...but that's just my two cents. Love your packaging videos!
Another great video thank you. I do pomodoros as part of my injury recovery. I also adjusted my seat so that I was sitting correctly and my screen is about arms length away and in line with my eyebrows. I keep my arms at right angles when using keyboard, just a few small changes and I don't get as much pain in my wrists or fingers. A wrist mat is good but I haven't needed one yet.
I've been trying Pomodoro method too and I'm glad it's working for you! I wasn't really following because I easily get distracted but I think I will get used to it after a while.
Please get a first aid kit for the office. You can find them fairly cheap in drugstores and on amazon. I also think (not entirely sure on this one) it’s mandatory for businesses to have them along with accident books.
Aaaaaah I've been trying to fin a nice reusable boba cup for ageeees! That one looks so nice! Another lovely vlog! Is always so nice to see your day to day and getting inspired
I’m not sure how much space you have for your arm on your working desks because it helps a lot to use the mouse with your hand and entire arm resting on the top of the desk and not bending outside the edge of the table, if you get what I mean. You need to have your arm, from hand to elbow, resting on the table while you work, instead of bending, what is very often the case when one is working on a desk too small for the job 😉🤷🏻♀️ . In case you work on a desk with plenty of room for your arm to rest and you still have pain, it means you need to take some breaks because the pain is definitely the result of too many repetitive movements....
I tend to use the Pomodoro method when I'm first starting off to get myself motivated to even start, but I usually find after a few Pomodoro sessions I don't need it any more - though it does come in handy when I'm feeling overwhelmed with work! And don't feel bad about the mildliners, I got the Tombow DUAL brush pens and it took me months to discover the second tip - like, what did I think dual meant?! 🤦🏼♀️
Could I ask where you outsource your stickers from? I’m getting stock ready to open a shop on Etsy and was really curious about outsourcing stickers. But i’m struggling to find a UK company. Any help would be greatly appreciated xx
Loved seeing your drive! It looks so beautiful. You brighten my day 🌸🌸 Wondering how do you decide when to print stickers yourself vs getting a vendor to print?
hehe I got them gifted from a smal business but I can't for the life of me remember the name I feel terrible! They are so cute, so if your reading here please leave the link!
This was such an uplifting vlog! ^.^ Thank you I feel like trying to be comfortable sitting at a desk is a daily challenge! I bought an L shaped pillow over Christmas and I squish it between my desk chair and my back (mid support chair), I find it gives me some lower back support. Regardless of what kind of chair I have I feel like I'm always naturally hunching over, so I figured the cushion would help me to sit more upright, I also use a mouse pad with the cushioning at the front, my wrist wrests on the pad rather than having it float awkwardly in mid air. (bought the pillow + mousepad on Amazon) ^.^ Hope the new chair works out, I'd be interested to learn more about it. I think with this time of year it's difficult to feel comfortable, It's amazing what a little sunlight will do to your mood.
Hi Katnipp I hope you back is feeling better I would recommend the book Draw stronger - Self care for cartoonists and visual artist by Kriota Wellberg if you like to read it has really helped me 🤓

I really recommend the Logitech MX ERGO mouse for wrist pain. It seems a bit pricy but preventing wrist pain/damage I think it is totally worth it

I'm so excited to learn about this chair- I have been looking for a chair

use the fire one it's cute
An ergonomic keyboard and mouse would probably help with your hands! They’ll lay in a more natural position.
Oh my goodness, I had to laugh when you unpacked that chair/stool. 😁 It looks sooo uncomfortable to me. It reminds me of a child’s rocking horse. I can’t wait to hear your final verdict!💕
Wow that morning coffee looked so good 🥰🥰🥰
For your wrists, try to make sure you have your hands level with your forearm when typing, like a plank of wood. There should be less stress that way. 💗 I've delt with tendinitis myself and know the constant ache. ❤️
I always feel more creative after watching your videos, I always think I could starts an Etsy shop
Aww Catherine! Your videos always make me so happy. I love the Old timey music you play in the BG. Reminds me of walking through Disneyland lol. Also, I recently switched from my Keurig to a drip coffee machine. It's much better for the environment, and the Keurig pods are just really terrible. On top of that, I feel like they don't last very long until they break...but that's just my two cents. Love your packaging videos!
Also and I just discovered this myself the mild liners also have names on the barrels, which made my life so much easier when trying to get them all
I have to use a wrist brace to keep things from moving too much...the joys of working as a cashier for the last 20 years.
Oh man when i used to work on Checkouts at morrisons my wrists would hurt so much ahhah 💕
Re the lighting maybe you can try strip lights. They have a ton at Amazon
What type of bullet journal is that it’s so pretty 😍 ?
Another great video thank you. I do pomodoros as part of my injury recovery.

I love watching your videos so much, they’re so calming and give me so much inspiration!♥️
I've been trying Pomodoro method too and I'm glad it's working for you! I wasn't really following because I easily get distracted but I think I will get used to it after a while.
You will totally get used to it I promise, I was exactly the same hehehe 💕 💕
Gosh, the sea looks so pretty! Why do I live in the land-locked Midlands!? 😆
Thank you so much for bringing so much joy to my days with your fun personality and wonderful creativity!
Please get a first aid kit for the office. You can find them fairly cheap in drugstores and on amazon. I also think (not entirely sure on this one) it’s mandatory for businesses to have them along with accident books.
Don’t worry we do actually have one on this floor and in our office I’m just a idiot and forgot hahah 🤣🤣🤣
Aaaaaah I've been trying to fin a nice reusable boba cup for ageeees! That one looks so nice!
Another lovely vlog! Is always so nice to see your day to day and getting inspired
heheh this one is super cute, I need to get used to such a fat straw though hahaha
Katherine thank you so much for the heads up re the Pomodoro method, I have watched a few videos about the technique, very interesting! :)
Literally live for your uploads!
Old man Gingie has a tuft and I'm in love!

There are gel pads for resting your wrists while working on the computer
This is so on time. I'm in my studio working!

Your place is so cute! And I love your shirt! Where did you get it?
omg I had no idea about mildliners either, had to pause and go check mine lol
Just ordered some of the planners stickers... whoops! 🙈💗
hehhe I LOVE YOU 💕
your stickers are so cute!!
So wonderful
I love your stickers. May I ask where you get them printed?
Could I ask where you outsource your stickers from?
I’m getting stock ready to open a shop on Etsy and was really curious about outsourcing stickers. But i’m struggling to find a UK company.
Any help would be greatly appreciated xx
Loved seeing your drive! It looks so beautiful. You brighten my day 🌸🌸
Wondering how do you decide when to print stickers yourself vs getting a vendor to print?
It depends if I think they are going to be a popular seller, at the moment I am outsourcing the majority of my stickers!
Awwwww I saw my order being packaged up and smiled BIG TIME 💛💜
heheh HAPPY BIRTHDAY 💕
You can donate your unsellable stickers to church or schools. Teachers could really use them

I feel like trying to be comfortable sitting at a desk is a daily challenge!
I bought an L shaped pillow over Christmas and I squish it between my desk chair and my back (mid support chair), I find it gives me some lower back support. Regardless of what kind of chair I have I feel like I'm always naturally hunching over, so I figured the cushion would help me to sit more upright, I also use a mouse pad with the cushioning at the front, my wrist wrests on the pad rather than having it float awkwardly in mid air. (bought the pillow + mousepad on Amazon)
^.^ Hope the new chair works out, I'd be interested to learn more about it. I think with this time of year it's difficult to feel comfortable, It's amazing what a little sunlight will do to your mood.
