Even if you’re safe and healthy while sheltering in place, weeks and weeks of social distancing can begin to wear you down. We’ve been working overtime to find ways to reestablish a few small routines that coronavirus quarantines may have disrupted. We have tips on everything from working out at home to working from home, but you’ve probably been clawing at the walls for a while.
If you have access to an outdoor space, REI is currently holding their Inside/Out sale for yoga mats, stretchy pants, and more through April 27. We also found bargains on games for the Nintendo Switch, the unofficial Console of the Pandemic. Don’t forget to give your package a once-over with a disinfecting wipe once it arrives.
