I totally thought it was Monday all day today but to be honest since the baby is here I have never been more tired than today. Maybe the tirednes adds up a little more every day and on some days I don´t get to nap so that makes it even worse.
Since the restaurants and all the other places for amusement are still closed due to the stupid Coronavirus and not going to open in the foreseable future I put together some ideas for your spouse and you if you still don´t want to dispense you weekly date night. Sure you are spending all day everyday together but is it really quality time you need or are you just co-existing at home.
Date Night Ideas for #socialdistancing Times
#1 // Cook together – not only is it super fun, it also tastes way better if you have a meal made from scratch together
#2 // Get a glass of wine and spend the evening on the patio together (no phones etc., if you are lucky and have a patio or balcony
#3 // Get some take-out and eat it at a festive set table (immediately creates a special atmosphere even if it just Chinese take-out from around the corner)
#4 // Watch a movie together in Cinema Atmosphere (with Disney+, Netflix and everything else you can pick a nice movie you both would enjoy to watch, make some popcorn or other Cinema related snacks)
#5 // Play boardgames together (this isn´t probably for anyone as not everyone likes to play in general but if you are a fan I think this would be a nice change)
#6 // If you have a garden gather all things for a picnic and have dinner under the stars
Make sure to dress up and create special memories for your at home quarantine dates as this is hopefully a once in a lifetime thing we will never forget.
although it could be every day in every month since we are quarantined for the 637th day. My Amazon lists are are at least keeping me on track what month it is.
It was quite the fashion months over here with lots of cute things I have found to wear for Spring and Summer and the other category is baby. Got some baby things after going home from the hospital cause I thought it couldn´t hurt to have them on hand among the other items we already got.
Let´s round-up my purchases for the month of April.
April Amazon Finds
St. Moriz Instant Tannig Mousse // Since it has been sold out everywhere I ordered it on amazon and got a mitten inclusive so that´s a win. I am anxious to try it out on the weekend. Got it in the shade medium and hope it isn´t to dark for my fair self.
#momlife t-shirt // I thought it was only appropriate to own a shirt like this since I am a mom now. Also how cute is this pink color. Got a size medium for a longer fit.
Tie-dye oversized shirt // Only my second piece which fits the tie-dye trend but I might have gotten myself a new favorite. The neon colors are super cool and the shirt is so soft. On the prodcut description it says that it should be a dress but for that it is mighty short.
Fisher Price mobile // We got this mobile for her bed in our bedroom as we figured she might love the dancing teddy bears and the star reflections but sadly it can not be assembled onto that bed so we saved it for her crib in the nursery. Adorable teddy bears, it makes different sounds and glows in the dark. For the price of under 40 Euro definitely worth it and the mobile appears to be quite sturdy so it could have a long life.
What to expect the first year // We where in deperate need of a book that showed all the upcoming stages for the next months and since I had the What to expect when you are expecting and liked it a lot I went with this as follow up.
Longsleeve jersey dress // I personally love a jersey dress. They are super cute and versatile while amazingly comfortable. One of the best pieces to throw on if you don´t know what to wear. I got the coral color in this and it is a lot darker than on the picture. I would say it is definitely more a brick red than a coral shade nevertheless the dress is affordable, comfy and not to short. I got a size medium and it fits great on the upper body and a little more loose on the tummy area as I still have some baby pounds.
Maxi tank dress // By following my blog you know about my love for anything midi and maxi and this dress is so adorable. It has a great lenght for me which means I can also wear it with flats (I am 1,64 cm) cause it isn´t too long. Also super stretchy and not seethrough at all. Perfect for a weekend dress or dressed up for a summer garden party. I ordered size medium.
Guitar graphic tee // I am on a total graphic tee kick and looking for the best in every store. I definitely like Disney, band shirts, city names and colorful prints. Got a size medium in this as I wanted it to be a little more loose and longer and it fits great.
Sunglasses // Can´t resist a cool pair of sunglasses although I already have about 20 pairs but somehow they get lost in all of my handbags and when I am in need of one I can´t find one. All the colors of this model are pretty but I got the nude shade and the leopard print.
Black cumin oil // We have been using this for some years as a lotion for our dog Chloe cause it is supposed to repell ticks and in our opinion it is working great. She probably has about 5 now over the whole summer as before it would have been about 30. Definitely worth a try.
See you tomorrow for a bunch of date night ideas to try at home while we are #stayingathome as much as possible.
it is a holiday over here in Germany and boy it has been the most boring day ever. In normal times I would love to have a holiday but since we are staying home due to the Coronavirus every day is the same and today had been especially bad. It is rainy and cold outside and so we couldn´t do anything outside although I got a lot of shots done I still feel blah. But I guess some days are rather fun than others.
So let´s talk about this whole #socialdistancing thing. We are home all the time and there are so many things we can get accomplished, we never had any time before and that is great. Also being around the people you love all the time is a huge blessing (at least for us over here) but being together all the time can be hard on some couples too so you have to find some time for yourself.
Everyone needs some downtime alone even if it is just a short shower but having some time to yourself helps to keep your mood in a good place.
It really depends on what your preferences are. Having a glass of wine while reading your favorite magazine marks an hour well used. Or if you like organizing and it makes you feel good go and clean out a closet/drawer etc. I personally enjoy that a lot and I feel much more accomplished and happier after.
Times are hard at the moment with all the restrictians and lockdowns but if you want to stay happy while you have to stay at home its the little things that make your day.
I love pleated skirts. They have something so feminine and flowy to them and always look classy and chic. I have quite the collection and love adding new pieces.
The pretty piece in the picture above is from H&M from the Richard Allen x H&M collection (I also have the dress) and it is THE skirt for day and night.
So for this look I wanted to dress it down as I was at home for the day with our baby girl and only went for a walk later where we took the photos (I am so happy when we can go out gain cause at some point I need a location change for my photos).
To dress down the skirt I went with a white graphic tee (I have been loving these lately whether they have a print, a writing or a band across) and a pair of flat sandals. Pairing a graphic tee with a skirt (whether it is a pleated skirt, a leopard skirt or a leather skirt) immediately dresses it down and totally adds that coolness factor to chic pieces.
It is a holiday over here tomorrow so if our mini boss allows it I am going to shoot some beauty and hair posts to have ready for you next week. As we spend so much time at home this is the perfect time to practice your hair and make-up skills when you are tired of watching Netflix.
