I Ordered An Electric Pottery Wheel

Okay, so hear me out. In an attempt to shake up my quarantine routine activities I thought I would take up pottery making. I got the clay, I already have paint, I got the gloss, and now I am waiting on the wheel.

I have been watching countless videos on how to throw my clay and I couldn’t wait to dive in. Except today when I questioned if I am just going quarantine crazy and realized I wouldn’t normally buy a pottery wheel.

Don’t get me wrong I am very excited to start this new hobby but what about quarantine is making me want to do all of these new arts and crafts? Why am I bored of my routine already though I stuck to a routine throughout the other days of the year without a problem?

I think though I am sticking to a routine, I am getting bored because the whole day is kind of like bleh. There are no extreme ups and downs as there were normally and my whole life is kind of feeling like I am stuck on a self care Sunday island… and I was starting to feel antsy on the island.

So I decided I wanted to make pottery. And that is what I am going to do and I think it is a healthy way to channel my energy. I will keep you updated on my progress and if you have any tips please please comment down below.

My Grocery Store Skin Care Routine

With all the malls being closed and me running out of skincare products, I had to learn what products worked for me at my local grocery store. Here is what I have been lovinggg from my local Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s:

First, I use Trader Joe’s All in One Cleanser in the shower to thoroughly clean my face. It is light and gets foamy to clean my pores. Then, I use Pacifica’s Super Green Detox Sheet Mask while I am drying my body and applying the Trader Joe’s Body Oil. This sheet mask really feels like it does work and leaves my face noticeably glowing afterwards. The body oil is also light weight and leaves me feeling soft.

After I am done moisturizing my body and let the sheet mask sit for at least 15 minutes, I rub in the excess product into my face and apply Acure’s Rose Argan Oil. This has been my favorite product during the quarantine thus far and I am able to use it as a stand alone moisturizer for my eczema prone skin. It really is a high performing moisturizer.

And that’s it, a very simple skincare routine for the quarantine days. What has been your favorite products?
