How To Live Your Best Quarantine Life

Take it from this stay at home mom - getting up and out of your 2 day old pajamas is a key element to feeling good and being productive. Why not start off every other day of your coronacation in your favorite athleisure and begin with a quick morning workout! It's one of the best ways to destress, achieve mental clarity, release physical tension and stay in shape during this time of social distancing. My favorite way to get it in at home is by riding my bike for cardio, jumping on the kids trampoline (or be safer than me and buy one suited for adults) and using the KEEP app - it offers a series of free workouts (some require coins you earn with each consecutive log in/session you complete) at different training levels to 'keep' you on top of your phisical game.

By shopping mindfully, within your means, for PC-19 (Post Covid-19). At VixieTodd, we have a bunch of affordable options to keep you in style; and while fashion may not be on your top list of priorities, doing what makes you feel good and keeps you happy is important during this time. Whether that means stacking your wrists and fingers with some fun sets to ogle while you answer emails and DMs, putting on a simple pair of earrings to complete your look for your facetime dates or gifting someone you love a shiny new bauble to lift their spirits or let them know you're thinking of them - no measure is too small. This leads us to the next tip...

Give yourself a facial - or two! (these face masks work Amazingly and are funny as hell when dry), have a nice long soak in your tub with Epsom salts, essential oils and burning candles, do your hair, DIY|build, paint your nails, paint your home, upcycle, nap, bake, cook, read - do whatever it is that brings you peace. Pampering doesn't only mean masks and massages it also means allowing yourself to do the things you normally wouldn't be able to do during regular work hours. With any luck, you'll emerge from these few weeks of quarantine smarter and more worldly than when it started - with a fresh face that looks years younger; you'll be well rested and ready to take on the world with a renewed sense of self. So, what will you do with your alone time?

There's no time like the present. And presently, we're stuck alongside our significant others, close friends (aka adopted family) and our kids. So why not make the absolute best of this unforeseen quality time together! Shift your thinking a bit - this is a [tiny] blessing (for those who are healthy, safe and adhering to the rules set by our government, WHO and CDC). Those of you who aren't able to be with each other as much as you wish you could, now get the opportunity to do so. Have everyone join in your workout sesh [Ring Fit Adventure is a Great way to keep moving for those with a switch] - build each other up, download some learning apps for the littles on their ipads [Tiny Tap is a good one!], binge watch shows together, break out and dust off those old board games, play cards, have a Mario Kart tournament! If you don't have access to any of the above - Charades is an easy game to throw together. It only requires a pencil, paper and a bit of imagination; Always a Simple and Fun Choice!
