The Best Quarantine Purchases, Part Two

07/23/20 | My Purchases, shopping

Happy almost Friday and happy easing of lockdown (at least here in the UK).  Gyms open for the first time next week and I, for one, am looking forward to getting back although I am sure it will be quite different.  Speaking of lockdown, if you missed the first part of my best fashion purchases of quarantine go check that out, and now this second second part will focus on the other items.   And it is true, I have ordered QUITE a few items, a combination of not being able to go out and go shopping and because I am spending even more tine online than usual.  However, as the start of quarantined aligned nearly perfectly with us moving in I am not going to share any of the items I have purchased / linked up in our London Flat posts!

Sparkles and Shoes Best Quarantine Purchases

 

Adjustable Laptop Bed Table Lap Standing Tray |  Imikoko iPhone 11 Pro Case in Rose Gold

Claudia Owen Personalized Beach Stationery | Umbra Zoola Elephant Ring Holder, Chrome 

Blue Light Blocking Anti Eyestrain Glasses |. MacBook Pro 15 AQYLQ Hard Shell Case  

Dr Teal’s Pure Epsom Salts in Lavender | Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Beetles Christmas Holiday Gel Nail Polish Set  |  NailStar Professional LED Nail Lamp

 

I also really liked the book The Dressmaker’s Gift and this Yao Shun . Base and Top Coat Set  has been great for my nails. Speaking of, a few of the nail options above might seem odd since you all know I am obsessed with my press on nails. After reading Mary Orton’s post and realizing it was not going to be any time soon (they are actually still not open more than three months later) I bought a LED lamp for gel and a number of polish options on April 4th. I have done my toes a handful of times now and this is not to say my pedicure is good but it is certainly better than nothing.    And yes, we recently did buy a Peloton bike but you better believe that is getting its own post soon.

What has been your best purchase of quarantine?

    Fun selection of goodies… will have to look closer at your assortment.

    Like the desk idea and will delve into that one. Funny, took an Epson salt tubbie today.

    The elephant ring holder made me smile. One of my girlfriends who is impossible to buy for loves elephants so I might just have to get this for her and save it for part of her birthday gifts.

    Where in the world do you find such adorable things?

    My nephew is working from home for the foreseeable future as I know a lot of people are.

    Going to get him a Adjustable Laptop Bed Table Lap Standing Tray. Can you also use it from your couch? Looks like a really good plan B to a desk and does it fold up really well? Looks like a wonderful invention.

    I read Born a Crime. Excellent. I too have been getting a bit more reading in than usual.

    Great use of time. I am sure you have read Bad Blood and Red Notice. Two of the better books I have read recently.
