Hello hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope that this post finds you all healthy and safely tucked away at home. I know that this month (month and a half for me) feels crazy being indoors and there is so much conflicting information out there about when this might be over, but for the most part, this is our new normal. Also, I find that everyone has a point of view, like everything else in life, about what you should be doing during quarantine. In all honestly, I think you should do whatever makes you feel good and whatever works for you on a day by day basis.
I want to share some of the things that have been working for me in the hopes that it might help someone else. Monday through Friday I am working from home and during this time, I am so thankful to have my job, my health insurance and my home – things that are often taken for granted by all of us. I set my day up as if I was still going into the office, as much as I can, therefore my 9-6pm schedule keeps me busy. Once I shut down for the evening, I normally cook, browse social media and watch a bit of tv. If the weather is nice, my husband and I will either go for a drive or a quick walk to see some daylight, keeping our distance from others and wearing masks and gloves. When the weekends roll around, I always have a set of projects or activities that I have planned out, to keep me sane and entertain me. Check them out below and stay tuned to more posts in my Quarantine Life Series, as I think some of these ideas might help you pass the time too!
- My first favorite way to get through quarantine is reading. I have three different category of books that I have been digging into now that I have the time. I love cookbooks, I love books on interior design, I love self-help books and I have to have a couple of fiction books. I tend to read Saturday and/or Sunday mornings and there is no rhyme or reason to how I read, I read whenever and whatever I want. I hope these titles inspire you to read as well!
2. Cooking, baking and juicing is my next favorite thing to do during quarantine. Obviously, its a necessity, but also because I simply enjoy it. I find so much inspiration online – especially on Pinterest (make sure you follow me on there, I pin a lot!) and in the cookbooks I own. Lately, I have been making a ton of recipes from this paleo cookbook (pictured above) that a friend from work recommended and it hasn’t failed me yet! I post all of my culinary ventures on IG (especially in my stories) so make sure to follow me there too!
3. I spend a lot of time caring for our plants. I recently started an herb garden (pictured on the left hand side) and I have been growing fresh herbs using our Aerogarden (stay tuned for a post about that and how I transferred them into pots). I have an upcoming post on DIY flower pots, one of my fave things to do that’s easy and inexpensive (pictured in the middle) and I will upload my how-to on forcing blooms in water (pictured on the right), I literally grew lilies and paperwhites from bulbs in water only!
4. Organizing, which I will ALWAYS have a passion for is another thing that I have been doing a lot of. I posted, a couple of weeks ago, my favorite acrylic organizers and I have an upcoming post focused on creating an accessory corner in your closet. I also have another post coming on how to organize all your beauty products so that you know what you have and what you need to restock. There are a ton of posts already on my blog with lots of organizing tips, so I will do a round up post so that you can find them all in one place. Make sure you stay tuned – lots of ideas and inexpensive ways to organize your space since we are all in it 24/7!
I hope these ideas inspire you to do something that makes you feel good during this quarantine life that we are living. Things I didn’t mention above, but I do all the time, in no particular order include, journaling (especially when I feel anxious or stressed), at home workouts (I will share how I keep all my stuff organized), sleeping lol (that’s a no brainer) and zooming/facetiming/texting with friends and family. Be well, stay safe and talk soon!
P.S. I have a whole backlog of soup blog posts that will be going up periodically and since the weather in the Northeast is still kinda chilly, I think you will find these recipes right on time!

I think the problem for me is the energistically benchmark focused growth strategies via superior supply chains. Compellingly reintermediate mission-critical potentialities whereas cross functional scenarios. Phosfluorescently re-engineer distributed processes without standardized supply chains. Quickly initiate efficient initiatives without wireless web services. Interactively underwhelm turnkey initiatives before high-payoff relationships. Georgia Killian Prevot

Est enim effectrix multarum et magnarum voluptatum. Si alia sentit, inquam, alia loquitur, numquam intellegam quid sentiat; Et nunc quidem quod eam tuetur, ut de vite potissimum loquar, est id extrinsecus; Ut optime, secundum naturam affectum esse possit. Pansy Cecilius Venu
