Quarantine: The Pretty
Whew baby!
What an adventure it has been! I honestly can’t tell you what day I’m on. But I know these last flew months have flown by or have they?!
So what have I been up to?
Not that you asked, but here we go!
I lost my job. I can’t really say it was due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it definitely was a factor. Literally almost each and everyday I am trying my best not to stress over it! I know once outside is open I’ll be on the hunt for something new, hopefully in the same field because who can give up free flights?!
Since I’m home everyday, you will find me doing a lot of online shopping *insert “merp face” emoji here*, thanks to all these deals and watching videos on tik tok. I share a few teasers below and I’ll share more in a future blog … Lord help me! Lol.
I am AVIDLY watching TV! Some of my fave shows are back, i.e. Insecure. Also, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon have NOT let me down, with plenty of new series and old movies! Did you guys catch Little Fires Everywhere?! Wow, so amazing!
Books. What are you reading? I am sorta kinda reading ??? Lol - there are so many I have bought and I just never read! I’ll get to those after this post!
Guess who’s been cooking! ME!!!! I’ve been cooking a lot more thanks to my friends and random people I follow on IG. I’ve been able to take their recipes and turn them into my own and I must say I might be adding Chef to the resume. (JK) I really do prefer a sit down dinner or someone else’s cooking!
Working out has been a must because I refuse to gain the quarantine 15 or is it a higher number? I mean people are out here making banana bread and my sweet friend made me double tree cookies that I ate all in one sitting. All 5. Not even mad about it. Life comes at you fast! Ha.
I wouldn’t be dripping sweat if it wasn’t for my friends so sending them a huge thank YOU for pushing me to keep going on zoom workouts. Thank you to my friend offering fitness classes on her IG Live as well as my fave yoga instructors doing the thing with breath work and various classes I love. Sooooo I’m literally getting a mix of it all. Follow me on IG to see what classes I’m doing each week!

Now, just to humor you (and me) …
