Camera Eats First by: Two Market Girls

It's week ??? of isolation and we've finally got a mini news segment for you! Along with the news, we discuss the habits and hobbies we're trying out to keep ourselves healthy and happy in this weird world.

It's not rocket science, but we have officially determined that the key to maintaining a positive mental attitude during this physical distancing and isolation is to make sure we're getting in some physical activity. We're also finding good music and good breaks help!

These days we're learning that it's about trying to accept what you're feeling and give yourself the time you need to get past the bad moments. Whether it's stress, anxiety, or tiredness, we all need to cut ourselves some slack and take it easy. This is how we're handling everything and navigating grocery shopping, working from home, mental health, and finding joy.

So the novelty of staying home has warn off, but we are still trying to find positives. We discuss how we're staying connected, more ideas for getting creative with our content, and how to make those nights at home a little more special.

As we try to settle into life during social distancing, we talk about the different content ideas we're experimenting with on our YouTube channel and what our eating habits have been like.

We're both officially working from home for the next little while and sharing how our experience is going. We also discuss how we're navigating social media and the stress that comes with the never ending news cycle of negativity these days.  Stay safe and healthy everyone!

In light of efforts to practice social distancing and staying home, we thought we'd offer some ideas for how to pass the time. What to watch, what to listen to, hobbies or skills to try, and all around helpful habits to stay happy during this difficult time.

Would you go to a non-vegan surf n turf dinner? Dev shares her experience attending a dinner party where no one else was vegan and lobster claws were everywhere. The urge to be a "preachy vegan" or feeling isolated because no one else feels the empathy you're feeling can be difficult, but there's a lot we learned from it.
