What Do I Want to Be During Covid19?
This visual popped up in a friend’s Facebook feed! It really resonated with me and it might help you! I think it’s normal to have gone through all three zones and perhaps even bounce back and fourth. While dealing with my husband’s pneumonia and waiting for days and days of the unknown – does he have Covid 19 or not??? – together he and I bounced around all of the zones. Personally, I’d like to make an effort to spend the remaining time in the “Growth Zone”. My fashionable friends and I hope you gather some good ideas and suggestions to help you stay in the “Growth Zone” because we’re all in this together!

Here in California, we’ve been under a Shelter-In-Home mandate for 3 weeks now – with another entire month (at least) to go. One of the many things I’ve learned over the past few weeks is the longer you live together under one roof, “me time” becomes crucial. This week, I decided to give myself a “Spa Like” Manicure and Pedicure. I can’t remember the last time I did my own nails, but my nails were in bad shape and I was in desperate need of some quiet time. I’m happy to say, the hour spent at my “home spa” was just what I needed to recharge, and lift my mood.

At the last Frontier, people are used to coping with shortages of any kind and being isolated and self-entertaining. Toilet paper is often kept in an old cucumber slices jar and yes PJs are common under the heavy down coats. Thus, what changed is the way to work and to self-entertain, sort off. And it all depends on guess what? Temperature and air quality. Read more in Nicole’s post, Staying Sane Around the Globe: Interior Alaska | (CLICK HERE)

We are so lucky that we have sunshine over here! Although it is still very cold, 10 degrees celsius. But I can totally relax when I am reading in the sun! With a few blankets under and over me, lol. And in style of course! Read more in Nancy’s post, Staying Sane Around the Globe: The Netherlands | (CLICK HERE)

What’s for dinner? I’m returning to meal planning and cooking for three whilst shopping once or twice a month, instead of several times a week. I’m dusting off my chef’s hat and other fun in Florida! Read more in Nina’s post, In This Together: A Global Linkup |(CLICK HERE)

I need to get that Zoom installed! It’s much better than calling on the phone, I hate that. Thanks Julie!
Hi Nancy,
The Zoom website is super easy to use and to create an account. It’s great to see faces and not just hear voices especially while we’re social distancing! Fun to collaborate with you as always!
