A collection of things I loved in April, from beauty products and fashion to entertainment and everything in between.

The following day I saw an ad for Territory Foods on my Facebook feed and it showed that they were collaborating with Café Gratitude.

There’s no doubt this is a challenging time and self-quarantining shouldn’t add to the stress. Whether you’re staying inside with your significant other, multiple family members, or you’re solo—here are 45 things you can do to make the most out of it.
