You are stuck at home, might as well enjoy it (or at least try to). I have put together a list of 13 items that have made my life easier, I hope they can do so for you too. If you have any items that you have found indispensable, leave them in the comments, I may need those too!
PS. You can click on the pictures to go to the link of the store where they are from. The links in the pictures are not affiliate links. These are just every-day products I love and have found very useful.
1
Yes. You NEED a coffee maker. This is the one I have, and I love it! You can make coffee but they also sell tea and hot chocolate k-cups. I also found a reusable k-cup filter at Walmart so I can choose what coffee I want to brew.

I love candles. They help me relax, they smell good, and they are handy in case the power goes out. I like this brand (Sand + Fog). I bought mine at TJ Maxx but since I couldn’t find the link to the candle I have (Island Orchid), I linked this one.

I enjoy disconnecting from the world through music. My husband bought me these headphones a while ago, and I love them. The battery lasts a long time and they fit comfortably in my ears. Definitely worth a try.

Up until a month ago, I was buying regular shower soap. I found it much easier and cheaper to buy a generic soap that everyone could use. Last month I went to Bath and Body Works, and I bought a whole bunch of different body washes and lotions. I specifically loved the smell of this wash.

Comfy, comfy, comfy. That’s the new trend while in quarantine. Please, make sure that you are still taking care of yourself. Shower, do your hair, shave, and wear something other than your pjs all day.

Finally! We don’t need to wear an actual bra anymore. Find a comfy bralette and let your freedom shine.
7
Slides. These will become your new work shoes. No need for hot slippers, but some slides.
8
Of course, you cannot complete the quarantine mood without a good book. This was the first novel I read, and I loved it! The main character is a female, and we can learn from her how to be who we want to be against all odds. Must read! –Now on sale for $8.29!!

It is much more fun to drink hot drinks when you have a favorite mug. Find it, buy it, enjoy!
10
I have been working out. <- That deserved to be it’s own sentence 🙂 I like this brand of protein shake. It only has 4 grams of carbs! Try it, you may like it too.
11
Board games are a must! I like writing, so boggle is one of my favorites. But you can choose Uno, Scategories, Guesstures, The Game of Things…, etc. Spend quality time with your loved one.
12
My husband bought me a weighted blanket for Christmas, and I love it! I know, I’m saying ‘I love it’ a lot, but that is why this is a list of must haves. So yes, I love my weighted blanket. Mines is 12 lbs, and it makes night-reading better.
13
Netflix and quarantine anyone? If you don’t own a laptop, this may be your chance. This one is on sale right now!
These are the few items I have noticed I have been using everyday while in quarantine, and they have made my stay easier and more fun. Stay safe and positive, soon this will all be over. Until then, have fun and enjoy your family.
Candles are definitely a must have for me too! I’ve been loving the ones from Otherland lately.
Totally agree . Most of them are what keeping my sanity
