Hi friends! Wow, what a week. I think all of us in the blogging community are struggling with what to do during this time in terms of posting. When I started this blog, my idea was to connect with like minded fashion obsessed girls just trying to live their best lives and find good sale finds at Neiman’s. My content has definitely expanded over the years as my interests in other areas have grown. Ultimately my goal now is to be a resource for you guys on a wide variety of topics from how to get the best bang for your buck at Universal Studios, to my review of the latest Royal Caribbean Cruise, and now I want to share how we are handling Social Distancing at my house. I’m not going to lie, I kind of feel like I have been training for this most of my adult life, especially considering I’ve worked from home since 2014. From today’s post where I’ll share what I stocked up on at the grocery store, to five of my favorite recent reads to help you pass the time, to my favorite hand creams to use when your palms dry out from all the Clorox wipes, to tips for working from home. What should I post about next? Spring Cleaning Tips, DIY projects, Home Decor Hacks? Let me know in the comments and make sure to stay smart & safe out there y’all 🙂

Pro-Tips:
1. If you’re having a hard time locating a certain item, try a smaller market or bodega like 7-11. I’ve found they’re not nearly as picked over as some of the bigger retail grocery stores.
2. If you are sick or worried about getting sick and don’t want to leave your home, I highly recommend InstaCart – they can deliver groceries directly to your door with zero contact.
3. Don’t Panic. These are just the things I chose to stock up on based on what I usually cook, but to each their own. Use what you have and remember Pinterest is always a great resource for finding recipes if you get stuck 🙂
