5 Things I've Been Loving During Quarantine
I’ve always been somewhat of a homebody, but this is by far the most time I’ve ever spent at home. This time has had it’s challenges to say the least. but some good has somehow come even in these difficult times. Outside of my once or twice a week social distanced outings, I’m still camped out at home daily. While home, there are some things I’ve been enjoying, 5 of which include the following.
1 — DoorDash
I’ve been cooking more than I’ve ever cooked over the past 4 months. However, I definitely don’t cook every single day. Insert DoorDash, who has helped fill in when I need a kitchen break. I get all the local favorites delivered right to my door in about 30 minutes. Can’t beat that! Chick-fil-A, Bob Evans, Famous Dave’s and more are in our monthly rotation.

2 — Google Tasks
I learned about this awesome tool on the Love, Maaden podcast. Since I use Google Calendar anyway, it made so much sense to start using Google Tasks as well. In using this, I can now note my to do lists alongside my calendar and check off as I go. I’m also able to make multiple lists, so for example, I can have a Sensational Soirees list, a Shalyce Tyson list, a Family list and so on. Google Tasks also has it’s own app and you’re able to assign deadlines to tasks if you’d like. This has been a lifesaver during this time because it’s so much on my plate, so instead of relying on my brain to remember it all, I note the important to do’s in Google Tasks.
3 — HGTV
When I get a chance to watch TV, the majority of the time, I will be watching HGTV. I used to watch it religiously a couple years ago then fell off. But the quarantine has officially reeled me back into dreaming up all things home. Thus, I’m spending parts of the day thinking of ideas for the house to execute. My favorites on HGTV are Home Town, House Hunters and Property Brothers. What are your favorites?
4 — Virtual Learning
No, not the kids virtual learning lol, but me being able to soak up tons of business education. During this time, business owners have definitely been sharing their expertise and knowledge by way of free webinars, virtual courses, Instagram lives and more. While I’m trying to balance business, family and self-care, and not overload on the business stuff, I realize at the same time with so much good content available now at my fingertips, it’s important to grasp the really good and relevant resources now while I can. Masterclass is definitely a platform I really like, and I’ve also been enjoying Mattie James’ Wednesday IG Lives. What virtual learning have you been taking advantage of?
5 — Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
This childhood favorite has officially become an adult favorite for me during the quarantine. Prior to this time, I can’t remember the last time I had a PB&J. Now, I have them literally every other day. I don’t know what it is, but these little sandwiches just taste so good to me. Am I alone? What’s been your go to snack during this time?
Alright, now your turn. What have you been loving during quarantine? Share in the comments.
Have a glowing day!
