15 Most Used Items During Quarantine (So Far)

Going on 5 months of quarantine and self isolation here, so I’m getting pretty good at this. Here are some of the things that are making my life better during this crazy time!

Fashion

Aerie Wrap Bathing Suit - I’ve been on my soapbox about this suit before, but it is the perfect mom suit. It is flattering but still has a little sex appeal. Just double knot the tie wrap so that your kid doesn’t expose you!

Outdoor Voices Tech Sweat leggings - These are without a doubt the most comfortable workout pants. They are extremely lightweight, but they still provide compression.

Warby Parker Maeve glasses - Affordable, online ordering, stylish, ‘nuff said.

Beauty

Ilia serum/tinted moisturizer with SPF - I have been using this for 2 weeks. It is a triple whammy as a day face serum, tinted moisturizer, and SPF. If I want a bit more coverage, I’ll mix in a tiny pump of foundation with this.

Kiehl’s mini mask set - I love trying new masks, but I don’t like committing to any one. This set has standard face masks and overnight masks. I will whip one out once a week to give myself a little dose of luxury.

Working Hands balm - My hands were a NIGHTMARE before this stuff. Cracked, peeling, and painful. I just use a smidge of this overnight, and I wake up with smooth hands again!

Home

Laminator - This has been huge in helping me prepare all my kids’ homeschooling material. As an added bonus, feeding things through the laminator and retrieving a warm sheet on the other side is super satisfying. This one comes with a paper cutter on top, cold and hot settings, and corner rounders. I think this is the best deal on Amazon for a laminator - I did the research.

Modern Adirondack - Though these Target chairs took forever and a few phone calls to arrive, they are perfect. Easy to assemble, comfortable, and sleek. Color availability looks limited now!

Boom bluetooth speaker - Anyone else having random dance parties as mood boosters? Inside, outside, pool, this thing goes everywhere with us. DJ Boom, at your service.

Instant Pot - I resisted the hype for awhile, but I recently figured out how to properly cook frozen chicken in the Instant Pot, and it really is a game changer.

Kids

The Danish Way of Parenting Book - I wrote a full review of this book here. Best parenting book I’ve read to date.

Kids Yeti bottle - My kids recently discovered the joy of cold water, and I don’t love having to deal with sweating bottles and kids needing refills constantly because the water isn’t cold enough. Problem solved with this bottle.

Baby bath seat - All of my children have been slippery little seals in the tub - no one likes to sit on their own as a little one. This chair helps to support and contain your littlest bathers.

Wooden number puzzle - I love this toy because it has different activities for different levels. My older son does more of the number work, and my younger son does the color and shape matching.
