We learned everything from how to stock pile our closets with paper towels, toilet paper, water, and hand sanitizer, to how to make bread, to how to tell clueless people to back up with merely a look. But mostly, we learned a thing or two about ourselves. For me, I learned six things.
Those who ask what the theme is always end up with a confused look on their face. Bohemian Minimalist. Yes, it is a thing. Pinterest has boards galore of this ever-clean looking aesthetic. During quarantine last year and into this year, this free-spirited wanderer got to truly express herself. And, feeling a sense of accomplishment as I took my time selecting the perfect decor while using my own money brought countless smiles to my face during a very uncertain time. I can't wait to finish it all up! 3. I neglected Health Like Me. But came back with a lot more ideas to write about! Health Like Me means so much to me. Not only because I love to write, and not only because doing this blog helps my own health journey, but because I get to see y'all benefit from and put into effect your own health choices based on some of Health Like Me's posts! I am always looking for a creative outlet. And when I pushed this blog to the side for about four months, it definitely manifested itself via my mental health. But it has returned with what I hope will be more fun content about easy ways to live a healthier life. The site's Pinterest page is ramping up, and hopefully an Instagram page will be coming soon! So keep your eyes open! Because now everyone HAD to do it. I embraced the loner part of me with no shame! And since being stuck at home was easy for me, I was able to stay healthy during the pandemic and keep those around me healthy, too. 5. My Chris Evans obsession reached an all-time high. It was pretty healthy before, but with countless nights within the safety of my apartment on Pinterest looking at amazing pictures of him, reading magazine features, re-watching interview videos of him, and amassing a pretty sizable collection of movies he's in. I mean, can you blame me? The man himself is humble, hilarious, smart, out-spoken, tatted, and loves dogs! He's also from Boston. My favorite city on this side of the Atlantic.
Comment below with one or two things you learned about yourself over the course of this pandemic and quarantine. We can't let such a difficult time hinder true introspection. Let's learn and grow!

Learning to say “no” is way important. Especially now when public health is a huge concern. With COVID, we have to put ourselves first. But also it is mentally important. Saying “no” for certain things shouldn’t be seen as selfish, it should be seen as self care!

What I learned, self care is Loving self and if others see it as selfish, that is their opinion and their opinion is non of my business.
