10 Things To Do During Quarantine

For the most part I’ve been trying to be productive around the house during this time, but also trying to not worry about this situation and relax. It’s hard for me to sit still, so if you’re like me, I’ve listed some things below to have some fun and enjoy this crazy quarantine time.

1. Make a TikTok with the family: If your not already doing TikTok videos don’t be afraid of jumping on the bandwagon! We have done a handful and they are so fun, we laugh at ourselves the whole time and laughter is what we can use more of these days, don’t you think? You can find my Tiktok here if you want to laugh a little.
2. Garden: I love when spring comes around especially after a long winter. Putting some color in-front of my house makes me happy. I don’t have the greenest of thumbs I will have to say, but I enjoy it 🙂
3. Skin-Care: Put on a mask or let your skin breathe for a little with no-make up, trust me your skin will thank you <3. Recently we tried this cold plunge face mask and I loved it! I highly recommend.
4. Get Moving: Getting into a workout routine is so hard to do, but once you get going it gets so much easier. You can start it out by going on walks or try a new fitness app (I use the sweat app). We also try and do things outside to take advantage of this weather like play soccer tennis or pickle ball in our driveway.
5. Netflix Marathon: There are so many good shows out right now, Tiger King (worth all the hype), Ozark (we have been watching since season 1), Peaky Blinders (LOVE), Elite, Schitts Creek, Black List, Good Girls, You, Love is Blind to name a few 🙂
6. Games: One of my favorites to do during this time! We have been making up games and turning them into the olympics and bringing out the board games. A few of our faves are sequence, blank slate, taboo, charades, friends and uno.
7. Try a new recipe: Now is the time to try new recipes or to make a spin on your own! I am a sucker for sweets so I have been trying healthy recipes and using the juicer more.
8. Talk to your loved ones: Since this is the time of distancing yourself, and might not be able to see your friends and family now is the perfect time to catch up. I’ve done a few zoom calls with friends and it was so fun! You can do it with family as well so everyone can see each other.
9. Organize: I am not much of a super organizer, but my closet has been calling my name to be re-vamped in a while. I don’t know why, but getting rid of clothes is sometimes hard for me because I always second guess myself of “what if this style comes back?” If we are being honest though, rule of thumb is if you haven’t touched that item in months then get rid of it (unless it is a seasonal item such as a coat). One motivator of getting rid of clothes is selling them on an app like poshmark to get some money out of it so you can get new items, shopping always puts me in a better mood :).
10. New House Project: We bought our house a short while ago and there are still so many projects we want to do! Some require us to hire help since the hubby and I are not super handy (we try though haha), but other projects we can definitely do ourself. Whether it’s finishing a room that needs some love or re-vamping a space in your house it’s a great time to work on projects! Need ideas? Pinterest and Instagram are my go-to when needing inspo, then youtube is usually my best friend if I want to learn any how-to’s.
