Well, March was kind of a bust because of this whole coronavirus lockdown, am I right? But I have bookmarked {and wanted to share} several really great “Links I Love”, including how to help healthcare workers during this pandemic to how to declutter your closet.
So let’s get started, shall we?
Stacy London on Spring Cleaning During Covid-19 {Refinery 29}
You may recognize Stacy London from that TV show, “How Do I Look?”, which is where I was first introduced to this stylish and amazing woman. In this link, she gives some great advice on spring cleaning during your downtime in quarantine.
How to Help Healthcare Workers during Covid-10 {StyleCaster}
As a medical assistant {a.k.a. “an essential employee”}, I know that thousands of healthcare workers would appreciate any and all help they can get, and this link will give you some great ideas on how you can show your support for these amazing “healthcare heroes”.
The Delightful Voyeurism of Watching News Anchors Reporting from Home {Glamour}
Taking a peek inside the homes of some of our favorite national and local news anchors has been quite interesting. What do you think about it?
Quarantine Survival Kit {Penny Pincher Fashion}
Kimberly has some great ideas of things to include in your quarantine survival kit. I’ve already got several things saved in my Amazon cart.
Social Distancing: Adult Edition {Molly Sims}
Actress and mother Molly Sims blogs about everything, from food and fashion to fitness and family. This particular link is all about “social distancing” and what we, as adults, can do during this time of self-isolation.
The Best Audiobooks for Right Now {Domino}
I have a couple of books on my bedside table, but I listen to a couple of audiobooks a month as I drive to-and-from work or when I travel. Some of the audiobooks in this link are definitely on my “to listen to” list.
Obsessed: Monochromatic Rooms {The Glitter Guide}
First of all, I could totally see my dressing room as a monochromatic wonderland, kind of in these shades of pink as seen in the photo below. This link gave me so many ideas on how to change up not only my dressing room, but the small room across our breezeway.
How I Let Go of My Fixation with Skinny Jeans {Vogue}
As much as I love skinny jeans, this link {“a denim love letter”} has me ready to embrace my perfect fit. Have you found your perfect fit yet?
Support Small Brands {Atlantic-Pacific}
Many small businesses are struggling during this time, but there is still a way to support them. Blaire shares some of her favorite small brands, but you can find and support small businesses in your area but shopping online or tagging them in social media posts.
How to Declutter Your Wardrobe {Kate Waterhouse}
Decluttering your wardrobe could be an all-day task, or you could spend an entire weekend or longer Marie Kondo-ing your wardrobe, asking yourself “does this spark joy?” It can be hard trying to decide what to keep, what to donate, and what to toss, but Kate shares some great tips in this link.
Styles for Spring & Summer {The Blonde Abroad}
The weather here in East Tennessee has been so beautiful lately {even though the pollen count is high}, and I’m ready to start embracing the styles for spring and summer. This link has me ready for summer!
PFW Was Surreal & So Were the Trends {Refinery 29}
Just a few fancy fashion moments from Paris Fashion Week. Not sure where you would wear some of these trends, except in Paris or Europe, but I totally appreciate the designs featured in this link.
So there you have it… the links I loved last month!
On a personal note…
Even though I’m considered an “essential employee”, the healthcare company {a surgical practice} I work for has cut back my hours and so I know only work Monday thru Thursday, giving me Fridays off! Last Friday was my first Friday off and I was worried that I would be bored or that I would go stir-crazy; however, that was not the case.
I cleaned up and organized the room across our breezeway and have several boxes full of stuff to donate to Goodwill. This next Friday, I am going to take Kate’s advice and declutter my wardrobe. I may even make one of those recipes in Molly’s “social distancing” link, all while listening to an audiobook.
How are you surviving this whole Covid-19 “social distancing” quarantine? Let me know what you’re doing during to off-time, and tell me which of the links above were your favorite! Leave your comment below and let’s connect!
Yours Truly,
Vanessa
