Where would I be without my favorite promotional products every morning? I'm not sure, but I don't like considering the idea. Before I started working at Motivators, I had no idea how promotional products could change my life for the better. I drank coffee out of a boring plain mug, I carried my lunch in a brown paper bag, and I sipped water from Styrofoam cups. Now that I look back on myself today, I chuckle at the inconvenience and waste that I was creating. In present times, it is a brighter day. I ease into every morning smoothly with the help of three special items. They are, and not in order of importance: my promotional cooler bag, my promotional travel mug, and a promotional eco-friendly sports bottle. And no, these items combined do not make Captain Planet appear. They do however all me to get through the day both efficiently and trouble-free. Let me start with the first one.
Most mornings for me are a little hectic. If you have been following my earlier posts, you would know that I am not a morning person. My entire routine is rushed almost every morning - I scramble to get dressed, brush my teeth, wash my face, and give myself a quick Zoolander Blue Steel face in the mirror before darting out the door. If I was to take even an extra 30 seconds to prepare my lunch and bag it, I would be repeatedly late for work.

My promotional cooler bag completely alleviates this stress. I leave in packed with my sandwich in the refrigerator before I go to sleep, and in the morning I just go right in and grab it. I even leave the convenient carrying strap facing outwards to maximize the fluidness of my routine. The bag is large enough to hold various other lunch item accessories like a drink, fruit, or a dessert. The insulation of the bag keeps my food ice cold on my way to work, which comes in handy on hot summer days like this one.

Once I get to work, I immediately go for the coffee. In this office, we have some ridiculously delicious stuff. It's a mix between French vanilla and hazelnut, it's rich in body and flavor, and the caffeine levels in it are through the roof. I pour it right into my convenient promotional travel mug and get ready to start my work. By the first sip, my eyes are wide open and I feel my production levels going up. My travel mug accomplishes two very important things. First, it eliminates the hassle of having to stop off at Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks for coffee. I have no patience for standing on lines, especially in the morning, and I would prefer not to pay for an overpriced cup of coffee that isn't even as good as the free stuff we get here. Second, my travel mug is reusable. By using this item, I am completely eliminating all of the waste that comes along with drinking coffee out of a paper cup.

When I am done drinking my coffee, I have to start drinking some H20. If you want to be a good blogger/content developer, you have to stay hydrated. And that I do. This is when the possible favorite of these three products comes into my play. I am proud of my promotional eco-friendly sports bottle. It is made from 100% post-consumer recycled PETE plastics which makes it just about as good as it gets for environmental purposes. I drink it every day, knowing that every day I use this sports bottle is another day that I am lowering my carbon footprint. At Motivators, we take pride in maintaining a high level of eco-friendliness in both our products and our lifestyles. This does not mean just we do it for marketing purposes - if you read our Go Green Blog, you know that I get infuriated by the wasteful nature of corporations, and I take a personal offense when they plunder the resources of our precious planet. I can't do everything to live fully green, but I can do the best that I can - and it starts with eco-friendly promotional products like this sport bottle.

These three promotional products help me fly through the day with ease. I would never go back to my old ways now that I have been introduced to this new world. If you use promotional items to get through your day, feel free to post your favorites, and how they help you throughout the work week.
