Whether you are under forced quarantine, self-quarantine, or just practicing your social distancing, we’re sure that you are going a bit stir crazy right now.

Keep reading to see some of our wellness tips for staying sane during this time.
Pull Yourself Together
Get out of your pajamas and get ready for the day. You don’t have to put on a workwear outfit, but simply getting dressed, doing your hair, and even makeup if you wish to, will make you feel like less of a homebody. Opt for something cute, but super comfy to wear.
