I know we’re all pretty tired of being bored in the house and in the house bored. But during this stressful and trying time, I have been doing my best to find joy in the little things. Whether it’s lighting a candle every day, making coffee, or watching an old movie, it’s important to find some kind of joy and calm to keep us distracted. So, I wanted to share all of the little things that I’ve surrounded myself with during quarantine.

- Nalgene 32 oz water bottle
- Fire TV Stick
- Adjustable laptop desk
- Twinkle lights
- MeUndies
And here are more details on what I’ve been up to!
What I’m Wearing
Although I already dressed pretty comfy everyday before the pandemic, being on quarantine has definitely taken it to another level. My daily uniform pretty much consists of:
- Lounge / sports bras
- Biker shorts, pajama shorts, or leggings
- T-shirts
- A hoodie or sweatshirt
- And I almost never take off my fuzzy slippers
What I’m Watching
I have been watching a ton of Disney Plus! I’ve watched some episodes of That’s So Raven, Lizzie McGuire, The Proud Family, and a bunch of the classic Disney animated films. I also recently watched the Lindsay Lohan movies Get A Clue and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
On Netflix, I got super into Tiger King! Omg it’s so wild!! I also finally watched all of Cheer.
And on Hulu, I finished the newest seasons of all my recent favorite shows: The Bold Type, Grown-ish, and Good Trouble.
What I’m Doing
As you can probably tell, I love to unwind by watching some TV and movies. I’ve also been spending a lot of time working on my blog (of course), shooting videos for YouTube and IGTV, and making TikToks! Creating content really helps me stay busy and have some fun. I even did a photo shoot in the hallways of our apartment. I have also done some journaling, coloring, and reading. I finished WorkParty by Jaclyn Johnson and I’m currently reading Literally Me by Julie Houts. I started listening to some podcasts as well ā I’m thinking about doing a whole post of podcast suggestions.
What’s Keeping My Space Cozy
I light candles literally every day! The smell and overall vibe just puts me in a good mood. I also have twinkle lights in my bedroom that are great for relaxing in the evening. And although I do a lot of work from the kitchen table, I absolutely love my adjustable laptop desk for working in my room.
What Beauty & Wellness Products I’m Using
I’ve been using a lot of Shea Moisture products on my hair. Check out my recent YouTube video on my wash and go routine. I’ve been taking a multivitamin every day and some probiotic gummies too. I make sure I do a face mask every few days to keep my skin healthy. And since I’m not doing my makeup much, I’ve just been wearing a lot of lip balm and trying to keep my skin moisturized. I also had a good time giving myself a mani pedi using Ella+Mila products.
What I’m Eating and Drinking
I definitely gave into the whipped coffee trend and I honestly love it! I drink coffee, both whipped and hot, every day. My regular hot coffee is made with a K-Mini Keurig and I always add in a flavored creamer. To make sure I’m drinking enough water, I fill up my 32 oz Nalgene water bottle a couple times a day. I’ve been cooking a lot more than I used to. I make a lot of pasta because it’s easy and filling, but recently I made white chicken chili for the first time! I’ve also baked chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes a few times as a treat. And I used Drizly, which is an alcohol delivery service, to get some Pinot Grigio and ingredients for Bloody Marys!
