Quarantine Splurges You Need Now

Brittany: We caved and ordered Animal Crossing! I’m not sure if I’d call it a splurge or a curse, because it has taken over in my home. We have one Nintendo Switch, which means three people share the same island. Everyone is fighting for time on the game. It’s hands down the most addicting game I have ever owned while being therapeutic for self-isolation woes at the same time. If you can get your hands on a Nintendo Switch, I highly recommend it.

Ellen: I finally bought myself a Roomba. Ive been wanting one for years and makes cleaning during quarantine so much easier.

Allison: We’ve been spending as many waking hours as possible outside on our covered porch. It’s needed some sprucing up for awhile and this has finally forced us to act. In addition to new screens and stain, my favorite purchase has been this amazing porch swing. It was super easy to put together and install and has been occupied every minute since it was hung.

Jordan: One of my favorite forms of self care is giving myself a nice manicure and since I have a lot more free times these days I’be been getting more experimental. The brand What’s Up Nails has a range of fun pigmented powders that can be easily buffed on top of regular or gel nail polish to give nails a holographic, iridescent, or a mirror like metallic finish. My favorite powder is the Aurora pigment because when it’s buffed over white painted nails it creates an amazing unicorn like pastel iridescent look.
