Hey everyone!

Wow, I can’t believe quarantine has gone on for so long and I hope everyone is doing well and is staying safe. It shocks me that it has been about 2 months of social distancing and ‘quarantine’ life! Is it still called quarantine?? I’m not sure. Lmk in the comments.

I know that a lot of us are starting to go out and about, but I still wanted to make a small post on my quarantine essentials! Staying home more has been a big thing these past few months and, in late March, I wanted to make sure I was prepared to be cozy in my ‘lil apartment!

Below I am going to list a few of my go-to items while in quarantine. I have used many of these items on the daily and suggest you consider buying your own! I am going to describe and link the items so you can check!

Aerie Boyfriend Tees – These tees have changed the game for my quarantine! They are flowy, cozy, and super versatile. Whether I am chilling on the couch watching Netflix or going on a Target run these tees are a reliable closet staple.

Hydroflask – Being home so often has led me to drink a lot more water! I fill my Hydro up with my Brita filter every day! Not only does this help eliminate how much plastic/trash I produce, but it also saves me a ton of money! Being able to fill my Brita up with tap water has been a LIFESAVER. My Hydro keeps the water cold and is a super convenient quarantine item.

My Fav Blanket – When I’m at home I want to be cozy and productive. A good blanket really helps me stay comfy and happy. I like to keep my A/C at 68 degrees and having a blanket allows me to stay at the perfect temp and get work done(: I bought a new blanket right before covid happened and I have been super thankful for it every day.

My Face Mask – This is just a no brainer! Big thank you to my family for bringing me a fabric mask when they came up for Mother’s Day! I had been using disposable masks until the. My fabric mask just makes me feel better in public. I like to use my mask to make sure I am not potentially harming other people. It’s easy for me to keep my mask in my car and use it when I’m walking around in public! My mom bought mine from an Etsy shop but Target Is selling them in bulk!!

My Bible & Journal – This is a life staple and I realized I couldn’t make an essentials list without adding these((: Also check out my gratitude bookmarks if you want to add something to your qts!

A Cozy Sweatshirt – I am a sweatshirt addict. I just cleaned out my closet and realized I will buy sweatshirts and not even wear them for months. With that said, there has been one sweatshirt that had been my go-to recently. I love to throw this on in the morning and just relax all day. Also my FAV JACKET is from @MADDYESAPPAREL a company my disciple started. So proud of her and you should check it out. Her products are so affordable & cuuttttteee.

Slippers!! – Honestly, these are not a new staple. My UGG slippers may be my most used item in my closet. In the winter I wear these out all the time bc they keep my feet warm! Now, I love wearing them around my apt, especially when I am cleaning the kitchen or doing chores. I have linked the slippers I have but check out these Walmart and Target dupes. I got my UGG slippers for Christmas but used the dupes for a year before upgrading! Thx Mom ((:

Some Cozzzy Pants – As you probably know, I am a bigggg fan of cozy clothes. Having cozy pants to lounge around in at home has been a game-changer! Check out my go-to leggings or my go-to sweat pants if you want to add some comfy bottoms to your closet!

Every Plate Subscription – Y’all. I never thought that I would keep up with a subscription box bc they are kind of pricey but I have been so thankful that I purchased this box during covid. I don’t mind going to the store but, mainly during the beginning of quarantine, it was hard to deal with grocery shopping. From not having what I needed to the long lines to potentially contracting covid I was thankful that if I had 3 meals a week in w/out fail. This is the most affordable subscription and I I highly suggest you try it! Use this link to get $20 your first box if you want to try it!! EVERYPLATELINK

I hope you were able to find something you want to buy! If you check out one thing, I would suggest the Aerie Tees. They are my favorite pieces in my closet rn. I love how versatile they are. I kind of live in them… oops.

Thanks for checking out this post guys! I pray you are doing well and staying healthy. If you have any prayer requests feels free to submit them under my contact tab!! Love you all.

sincerely, jamie lynn
