FRIDAY FAVORITES – Quarantine Life

These Friday Favorites coming at you from the Quarantine Life, day 617. Okay, it’s like day 67 but doesn’t it feel like that? 67 days might as well be 617… I’ve started to crack here and there, kiddos. I’ve become a chef, a skilled dishwasher, a puzzle savant, an expert napper….  We all have our struggles right now and your struggle is no easier or harder than mine so remember we are all permitted a lot of latitude in this situation. It is okay not to be okay. WHAT I READ

• Entrepreneur Magazine assembled a pretty robust list here — 50 companies that are hiring right now. Take a look and hope this helps someone out.
• These iconic Hollywood women were so badass!
• Chris Hemsworth posed for GQ Australia and I guess it’s not “what I read” per se, but ya know, there’s an article.

• Why you should never wait to uncork that special bottle of something.
• Dave Grohl wrote a wonderful piece for The Atlantic on “when the live event returns.” Highly recommend.

BLOGGERS & SMALL BUSINESSES

• So into these fantastic pop culture art prints. Very affordable.

• Fever Up has been hosting a lot of fun, creative online events. Check it out! This week I’m taking a tiki cocktail class and playing Drag Queen Bingo.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

• Stars from several incarnations of the musical Hairspray joined forces to sing “You Can’t Stop the Beat” together and it’s a pretty joyous video and I’ve watched it a whole bunch today.
• Did you know? You need this mash up of Lizzo and The Aristocats?. Trust me.
