What I am doing during Quarantine

I don’t know about you, but I look forward to days like this again. Days where I can go sit outside and enjoy the outdoors! Right now since we are in quarantine, I am trying to come up with all of the things that can be done inside. I have put together a quarantine list. This list is everything I am attempting to do or have done since we got put on lockdown. I thought I would share it with you so that if you run out of ideas or motivation or anything else that these inspire you to want to do something during this time of quarantine.

1 – Organization – I am doing those organizational tasks that just never get done or never get done completely. You know what I am talking about? You want to clean out the closet or organize the kitchen pantry and you attempt to do it, but it just becomes organized chaos because you never have the time to fully tackle this. Welcome to time! You have the time to get busy and get these areas as organized as you want them!

2 – Read all the books! – There is not much new on television and let’s face it, Netflix can get a little old about right now. If you are like me, there is a stack of books in my office and these were books that I was dying to read but never got around to it. Now is the time. Instead of watching meaningless television shows or movies, get a book and get ready to be taken away from reality!

3 – Exercise – We began quarantine in March and you never really started your New Year’s workout plan. Now is the time to start it and hopefully, stick with it when you are done! There is so much you can do at home! Be sure to check out the different ways of staying in shape that are out there!

4 – Work on a side hustle – whether you want to earn more money or you want a new career altogether, now is the time. You have time to work on something else on the side so get started on it. I know that I am putting in more time on this blog and all of the social media platforms I promote on. Give me a few months and this will be my full-time job!

5 – Beauty treatments – there is nowhere to get any type of beauty treatment done. You need to find ways to do them yourself at home. There is so much that can be done from foot peels and masks to even doing your own dip manicure at home. Giving yourself facials and a variety of other beauty treatments. They might not be just like the spa, but they can be relaxing and help you feel better about yourself!

6 – Netflix – you have heard about all of those movies and series that are on Netflix. You have wanted to watch them and have not had the time. Now you do! Get ready to dive headfirst into whatever you want and be able to finish it!

7 – Deep Cleaning – this is a little different from organization. While organization is about removing everything from the space it is in and going through it and putting it back in better condition, deep cleaning is exactly what it sounds like. You actually get the cleaning solution and clean those baseboards. You get on your hands and knees and scrub that floor and get all of the little crevices sparkling white.

8 – New skill – what is something you have always wanted to do for fun and never had the time? Now is the time! I know that for me I just am not able to cook as much and there are many different things I want to try to cook, but I just don’t have the time. I am cooking those things right now and enjoying it so much!!

9 – Puzzle – I see so many of my friends putting together puzzles. They spread out on a big table and have such satisfaction upon completing this enormous task. If you like a puzzle to keep you busy, go ahead and start that right now!

10 – Wash make up brushes – this could go under deep cleaning and/or organization, but we can also give it its own category. Washing makeup brushes is a pain. It can even take around 24 hours for them to completely dry, which means if you wash them and need to use them, you will not be able to. We are not going anywhere and we have little use for makeup right now, so go ahead and wash them and allow them to properly dry

There are other things that could be added to this list, but these are the things that came to mind right now. These are the things I have truly done and am possibly considering doing during this time. If you have something else fun that you have done or are doing, feel free to let me know. I am open to hearing what you have going on during this time!!!

Later!
