When it comes to kitsch and pizazz in gifts and accessories (and beyond), there's really no more unique brand than ban.do. Brainchild of Jen Gotch, ban.do is "serious about fun" and specializes in pieces that are cute and sophisticated, a deadly combo for anyone looking to add a punch to their practical, every day products.

What is one thing that helps keep you motivated throughout the day?

Bulletproof Coffee. It gives mental clarity that really helps me tackle all the challenges of the work day - writing my book, meetings, problem solving, providing creative direction, etc.

What’s something you bought for yourself that you wish you had much sooner?

A light therapy box! I use one by Northern Light Technologies. It makes such a difference in my mood even just using it 15 minutes per day. It’s been a life saver during these gloomy months.

What are the products that make your daily routine easier or more enjoyable?

My Dosist Calm pen for anxiety, my Drybar Dry Shampoo for avoiding washing my hair, my Clare V messenger bag for looking cool, and my Tom Ford glasses for seeing.

What’s the one thing you just can’t live without?

My collection of books…Some highlights are The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel S.F. Heller,  Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, and Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves.

What’s something you’re recommending to everyone right now?

I recommend breathing to people a lot, which sounds strange, but focusing on your breath is life changing. The Calm app has a helpful tool for an effective breathing technique.
