READ THAT BOOK YOU’VE BEEN MEANING TOO.

Are you someone who always says they want to read more? Or are you someone who says that they can’t remember the last time they picked up a book? This is the perfect time to read a book. Trade the Netflix for that book you’ve been eyeing.

DO SOME SELF-CARE.

A bath + skincare + candles + yoga… or whatever self-care means to you. My self-care of choice has been working out and taking care of my skin. My skincare game while at home has definitely been on a whole new level and POPSUGAR fitness on YouTube has been my go-to.

DO SOME CLEANING.

I’m not someone who loves to clean and organize (although I know those people are out there… if you’re one of them, what’s your secret?), but being stuck in the house is the perfect opportunity to get some spring cleaning done. Sell your clothes you no longer wear, fold everything in your dresser, dust all the nooks, you know where the drill.

BAKE, OR COOK A NEW RECIPE.

I love to bake, even though I feel like I’m horrible at it. I never seem to have the time, so if you’re also someone who likes to bake, pull out a new recipe. If baking isn’t your forte, trying cooking. Everyone has to eat!

ENJOY YOURSELF

I know this one may seem a bit strange but go with it. You only have one life. You may be facing a financial strain from being off work or a mental strain from being stuck inside with your family, but you are alive and well. You won’t have two weeks off work again soon (or maybe forever). Soak up this time and use it for good. Just having a positive mindset about this whole thing can change the outcome of your quarantine period! Embrace it. Be safe. Stay Sane. Good luck!
