47 Products and Activities to Help You During Quarantine

In this post I’m sharing 47 products and activities to help you during quarantine. This post was shared in my COVID-19 series. Though I hope you’ll still find it helpful to this day! With entertaining games and books, your family will never be bored again. Trust me! 

47 products and activities that will help you get through quarantine

As we’ve all been asked to social distance, quarantine and keep our kids at home, we’ve become more than just ‘mom’. We’ve become the live-in chef, personal entertainer, and teacher. And we need all the help we can get… which is why I’m sharing a TON of my favorite things that are helping me and my family survive being in the house all day with each other.

From fitness products to self-love for mama and activities for kids, you’ll find everything you need to survive the next few months of quarantine, kids and all.

Fitness and Nutrition products

It’s more important now than ever before that we focus on our health and nutrition. We need to stay healthy, keep our minds clear and stay fit during this time. I know it’s easy to wear your sweat pants every day and eat your feelings (believe me, that’s what I’ve been doing) but we have to stick to our goals! Exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins make you happy. And believe me, that goes a long way in my house…

Here are some of my favorite fitness and nutrition products that are helping me get through this period of working out from home and trying to keep a healthy routine.

1-Resistance Bands

I am obsessed with resistance bands workouts, and I really think that you can create a solid home workout routine with just resistance bands (and a pair of dumbbells). Get some resistance bands for yourself here.

2-Dumbbells

Dumbbells are a staple for home workouts, and I would suggest getting 2 sets: a heavier one for lower body and a lighter set for your upper body. Start your own home gym, get your dumbbells here.

3-Booty Bands

Booty Bands are super versatile and you will get a lot of use out of them in the gym as well. You’ll walk out of quarantine with the best booty gurrrlll! Get your booty bands here.

4- Pre-E

A bit of natural extra energy to endure the days with the kids! Grab my favorite pre-e HERE!

5- SmartWatch 

Having a smartwatch is a great way to keep track of how much you’re moving and encourage you to get those steps in. My Smart Watch is set to notify me every hour if I’m not moving my body and getting enough steps in. It forces me to get up and get moving, even when I don’t feel like it… Get a smartwatch like mine HERE.

6-Protein Powder

Many people have been having a hard time finding different protein sources, so having a protein powder handy to keep reaching your protein goals for the day is definitely a plus. This is my favorite protein powder. You can get some HERE.

7-A membership to the Mother Strong League

The Mother Strong League is my signature program that helps moms regain their fitness, confidence and feel sexy AF! We are having a SUPER special right now where the membership is 60% OFF, which has NEVER happened before. JOIN NOW!!

8-Recipe Ebook

Don’t worry about what to cook! I’ve got you covered. I’ve created 50 easy to make recipes, that the whole family will LOVE. Trust me, I’ve got picky eaters at home and yet everyone in my family loves these meals! Grab your copy HERE. 

9-Air Fryer

An air fryer is a great addition to your kitchen! Air frying offers a much healthier alternative to some of your greasy favorites. Get one for your kitchen HERE. 

10-Vegetable Spiralizer 

Turn your favorite veggies into a healthy pasta alternative. Being quarantined means it’s time to get creative in the kitchen. One of the best ways to get creative is by seeing what you can make with a vegetable spiralizer. Get one today and start experimenting. This is my favorite one!

Beauty, Health and  Wellness

11-Hair Mask

We all know a little self-love goes a long way… so why not grab a candle, a face mask, and a bubble bath and lock yourself in the bathroom. We’re on quarantine rules which means, wine any time of day and giving the kids the iPad so mama can have an hour to herself…

 

My hair is getting a lot of love during this quarantine period, and KURE is hands down one of the best hair masks I have ever used. Grab the same one I use HERE. 

12-Beauty Sleep

13-Revitalize

Revitalize has been a staple in my afternoons as it really helps me curb my snack trips to the kitchen, looking for something sweet. 

14-Face Mask 

Your face deserves a royal treatment too. I have been taking advantage of the fact that I am not wearing as much makeup during the day and putting on a face mask regularly. Grab a new face mask for yourself HERE.

15-Deep Conditioning for your hair

Your hair deserves a lot of love right now. With this deep conditioning, you’ll walk out of this quarantine with the best hair on the block and all the other moms will be coming to you for tips, trust me. Get the one I use HERE. 

16-DIY Nails

Can’t go to the nail salon… no worries, try doing your own! This is a really fun activity to try if you’ve got the patience for it! And it can be a lot of fun with your kids (if they’re older of course!). Start doing your own nails with this DIY nail kit! Grab one HERE.

17-DIY Macro Dermabrasion

Another thing to try out while you’re in quarantine. If you can’t go get a facial, it might be nice to try your own, at home! Grab this kit for home Macro Dermabrasion.  

18-Relaxing Bath Bomb

My husband LOVES baths, and he swears by CBD bath bombs! A bath is a perfect way to relax after a long day of school, cooking and entertaining the kids. #thankyouteachers am I right?! Grab some for yourself HERE.

19-Self Tanner 

The other day I was feeling a bit blah, and after a little self-tanning, I actually felt a lot better. This is the exact one I use, which doesn’t leave me looking like an Oompa-Loompa and it doesn’t smell. Get yours now!

20-Relaxing Candle

What better thing to do when you’re taking a bath… reading a book and enjoying a nice glass of wine after you’ve finally got the kids in bed. Set the mood for relaxation with one of my favorite candles. Grab one HERE. 

Entertainment for kids and adults

It takes a lot of creativity to keep kids entertained all day. I have been trying everything I can to entertain and wear my kids out. These are some of their favorite things right now. I’ve also thrown in a couple of things just for mom as well (unspillable wine? Yes please!).
