How was everyone's weekend? We actually got some things done around the house like cleaning up leaves outside, I changed our sheets, did a lot of laundry, sorted through all of my daughter's clothes and moved things through (I have to do this quite often because she grows so quickly, but I rearranged and updated everything in her closet and room and it took hours), tidied up the guest room and guest bathroom, cleaned both bathrooms, went for a lot of walks, cleaned up the closet/laundry room, vacuumed, and decided that I want to pay for someone to help with bedroom design. Havenly is the service I paid for, if anyone is interested to check it out! I'm incredibly excited for this. We won't replace any of the furniture but may need to get a few new pieces, but I'm mostly interested in help with the decor and adding artwork to the walls. We also got dinner carry out on Friday night and it was delicious!
The Sophia is amazing… it looks like a hand-knitted Aran sweater!
We got carryout last week too! Chinese food. Enough for two meals, plus a lunch for DH, plus one container tucked into the freezer.
We went for a long walk along the bay on Saturday. This is still permitted for now, though I'm thinking it may not last. In a city just north of us, the parking lots along the bay have been roped off to discourage people from biking, running, and walking. I suppose it makes sense, if a lot of people are congregating, but where we were walking, in our little town, the numbers were small, and everyone was careful to stay a respectful distance apart. I'd be sad to be banished from the coast. But the most important thing is to stop the spread of this disease. We can certainly manage with neighborhood walks.
Today was housecleaning. Serious deep-cleaning. DH had his assignments, I had mine… I put up a "Jobs List" on the fridge. Very good for the soul, but h@ll on the cuticles. Even DH is using a bit of hand cream!
I end up doing laundry throughout the week, a little bit each day. Fortunately, I had just stocked up on all sorts of laundry detergent before things got crazy.
I love your idea of bedroom redesign! I'm a big believer in creating a bedroom that is a decompression space. Soothing colors (this is different for everyone, of course!), just a few well-chosen pieces of art that are comforting, and the proper lighting. Also, I remember reading years ago that the rest of one's life shouldn't spill over into the bedroom. A bedroom should just be for sleeping and, if you are fortunate enough to share the space with someone, then…
Summer has started in my country and a little movement here and there makes you sweat. Heat index (humidity factored in; real feel temp) has reached 38 degreesC (100 F). This dissuades me from doing a lot of chores despite having a lot of time in my hands due to the lockdown. I try not to turn on the (bedroom) air conditioner all the time. I change my shirt a lot to avoid perspiration drying out on it while on my skin. They say that's bad for the respiratory system. I'm trying to be very careful since if my respiratory allergy kicks in, I will get sore throat which then could lead to other conditions. The key during this time is to boost the immune system.
I've not gone out in almost 2 weeks though I have received some meat and fruits delivery. But I go out in the garage daily to water the plants.
One thing good though is I have been able to exercise every other day. 32 minutes in the elliptical machine then 30 more minutes of aerobics (I follow Shaun T's Hip Hop abs).

Hehehe. Love this! I’m glad you still have your walks along the coast, which I would truly love to see right about now. It sounds incredible for the soul and I hope they don’t take that away when people are being respectful in your town.We got carryout last week too! Chinese food. Enough for two meals, plus a lunch for DH, plus one container tucked into the freezer.

Great work on the deep cleaning!! I continue to lotion my hands but they’re not too bad yet. I don’t think DH is needing to lotion yet but I’ll keep an eye out.
We’ll see what they come up with for the bedroom! Lol at the purpose(s). Most definitely! Although I think most people design it to be a soothing space rather than designing it for other purposes, hah!
I’m a heavy sweater, for lack of a better word, and I’ve had very bad skin in the past from this (freshman year in college I had really bad acne). So I don’t like to sweat for extended periods of time. I feel for you that it’s a daily thing and completely understand not doing a lot of chores right now. I would do the exact same thing as you. But, wow!! Good for you to get your workouts in! That is amazing!
Are the plants in your garage? Do they stay there year round?

Evergrain is a smooth leather?
The plants are in pots in the garage.
As we generally have the same weather year round, these plants are there all the time. Except that I don't really know how to care for plants! My former house helper managed them, but she had to leave due to serious sickness. All I know is to water them, that's all! 
I'm very delighted not seeing much discussion of front page news here. No new bag purchases after staying away from this forum and after finally getting GP in Gold. Here's just too many beautiful triggers.
However, now I can't stop thinking of Polene Un nano since there's free shipping promo including a small surprise gift...
Recent trends are quite rip off like card $300 card case but once a chain it added price jumps to $500. Same seems to happen to vanity cases. I've added long strand from my old necklace to my card case and love being fashionable.
Not much is happening here either. Maybe now I've no more excuses putting off my wardrobe declutterin project.

"Wonderfully squishy" - I love it!
Your Chanel's are beautiful, I especially like the gunmetal grey.
Just beautiful - Etain seems like such a versatile color, and your Chanel Camera Case is lovely.My grey bags,

I had forgotten that you have a Bolide - some people love them… what are your thoughts?
