Come early spring, and in particular the week of Easter Sunday, searches for classic hot cross bun recipes begin to rise.

If you've been to any big-box retailer lately, you know that cleaning products can be hard to come by these days.

Right now, we are all being asked to do our part: stay home to avoid the spread of COVID-19, support small businesses, care for our family and continue to do our jobs remotely. While all of these are helpful for the greater good and for those we love the most, it’s also important to take care of our own health, too.

You might've seen them while walking around your neighborhood: Outdoor cabinets that look like tiny houses filled with supplies.

Life as we know it looks mighty different today than it did three weeks ago. The news cycle and days may feel never-ending, especially if we are hunkered down at home.

Everyone’s looking for a little good news and easy ways to help others while social distancing right now. The shutdowns across the country because of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) are especially difficult for those in hospitals and nursing homes since visitors have been highly regulated or restricted.

Over the last few weeks, the new coronavirus outbreak has been affecting animal shelters across the country: Volunteers can no longer come to play with the animals, and donations for many organizations have come to a halt in this uncertain time. Luckily, most shelters are still looking to place animals in a foster situation, which means healthy adults can apply to have a dog or cat come live with them.

Many of us are approaching the time when we would normally head to the salon to get the old polish removed from our nails while enjoying a relaxing manicure appointment. However, things are a bit different now, so you might have to take it off yourself and do your own nails at home. And although you visit your technician all the time, you’re probably not an expert on the process, and if done incorrectly, the removal process causes damage.

If the last few weeks have left you feeling a bit unsettled, you’re not alone. As schools and businesses across the country close due to the new coronavirus, thousands of people find themselves practicing social distancing and spending more time at home. And while this practice is good news for our global community, being cooped up inside with nothing to do besides reading the news and disinfecting the house can really raise stress levels.

If you’re spending more time at home right now, don’t forget to step outside; 20 minutes outdoors can boost your mental health. Restaurants, gyms, and offices may be closed, but even a quick walk around the block can lift your spirits. And this week, people in communities around the country have been making a stroll through the neighborhood a bit brighter by organizing 'rainbow hunts.' Here’s how it works: Draw, paint, or craft a rainbow and hang it in a front-facing window.
