HAPPY NEWS AND RESOURCES TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE COVID-19 QUARANTINE
I get it. The news is overwhelming. I’m starting this post as a living, breathing resource for some happy news and opportunities to help. I would love to hear from YOU so I can continue adding to it and spreading a little happy in these uncertain times. Let’s do this.
FREE INSTAGRAM CLASSES FROM GLOW YOGA
My local yoga studio is offering FREE classes on Instagram Live while they’re currently closed for business. You can find their weekly schedule here, and you can either join in live or on your own schedule up to 24 hours after it airs!
This is where I fell head over heels in love with yoga, and I’m actually really excited that my non-local friends will get a chance to experience these classes while we’re all safely socially distancing! I did my first one on Sunday afternoon - just put my airpods in, rolled out my mat in my backyard, and set up my iPad against a yoga block in front of me. It was an extremely welcome break and I felt so rejuvenated afterwards! Let me know on Instagram if you’re planning on doing any of the classes!
P.S. They are amazing and generous humans for doing this, so if you take a class, and you’re able, you can support them by Venmo-ing a donation at GlowYoga. Just put the teacher’s name in the comments and they will be able to distribute the funds appropriately.
#COLORMEPARKHOPPER BY @COLORMEMAGIC
One of my favorite Disney accounts, @colormemagic is doing a 10-day Instagram challenge for those of us who are desperately missing our beloved parks! You can find Courtney’s prompts here, and join in the fun on Stories, your feed, (or both!) by using the hashtag #colormeparkhopper!
Update: Courtney has extended the challenge through April 10th!
THAT’S IT FRUIT BAR GIVEAWAY
My latest snack obsession that I told y’all about in this post, is giving out a month’s supply (36 bars!) to one lucky person every weekday from now until March 31st. You can enter on this Instagram post. They’re also available on Amazon and I just stocked up on a couple of boxes - I snagged the Apple + Banana ones that I raved about on Stories a while back and the Apple + Strawberry ones that are a close second fave.
COTTON MASKS FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
I am loving all the creative ways that creative people are helping out our angel essential workers from afar. I came across @happylittlethought on Instagram who is using her leftover Disney fabric to spread a little love. I can’t sew worth a lick, but I’m working on finding more resources to donate monetarily instead (and will update when I find some)! I did find this cotton mask tutorial by Joann Fabric, so if you’re talented with a sewing machine, read their press release to find out how you can help.
Update: Project Runway winner (and now mentor!) Christian Siriano is making masks by the hundreds, and you can donate to the cause on his website!
FREE HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM FROM OTHER GOOSE
For all the mamas turned homeschool teachers out there, Other Goose (founded by Erin Loechner) is offering their curriculum absolutely FREE for 3 weeks. Just head to this link, create a profile for your child (ages 2-7) and get started with super simple, no-fuss, easy to implement ideas and lessons.
I’ll be keeping this post updated and adding more resources and happy news as I come across it, so save it and feel free to refer back often! As always, come say hello on Instagram.. I absolutely LOVE chatting with y’all. Stay safe, stay sane, and STAY HOME!
