Glam but first coffee
Just to make this clear- these will not be quarantine lifestyle must-haves for everyone but these are the ones that I could not live without and used a lot during this quarantine. I need to be fast posting quarantine articles because I have faith that soon this can be over. Which would be amazing but I have so many quarantine posts still that I need to be as quick as possible! This quarantine for me gave me a lot of confidence and time to work on my blog and Youtube content and I am very happy about that!
I decided to share with you my quarantine must-haves which are in these three following categories: lifestyle, fashion, and beauty! Maybe they give you some idea on how to solve some of the problems you have had during the quarantine, or maybe just relate with me and know that you are not alone! Anyways, I hope this helps you somehow boost your mood and days! Comment down below what is the situation in where you are at!
Lifestyle must-haves
Coffee machine
My day starts with the coffee, that is why my blog name is how it is and must be in my quarantine lifestyle must-haves. When I worked in an office, my biggest motivation to get out of bed early and get to work was the good coffee I got in the office. I was one of the first workers in the office always because I liked to enjoy my coffee in silence!
Especially now when we are so stuck at home and need some more boost and motivation, coffee helps me in the morning to start my day, get moving and start working on my future dreams! I will be honest that now I also have my second coffee during the day at times because of the quarantine! That way I have my energy for the second part of the day as well!
Coffee machines are the best and the quality is so much different than from coffee in the mug. If you are a coffee nerd like I am, I suggest to buy the coffee machine for yourself as well!
Spain Amazon. Cecotec coffee machine that I have!
If you are in the UK or USA, this is a similar coffee machine to the one I have!
Books and magazines
Books are in my lifestyle must-haves always and not only during the quarantine. I have read more books than I used to do in the last months. It is really good because lately, it took me a lot to get into reading again! I am especially happy that I finally finished reading Bridget Jone’s Diary and now planning on ordering one of the books from the motivation book list I wrote on my blog a week ago. If you are interested in the inspiration books that you must read, read here!
If you have any other books suggestions, comment down below!
Updated! I bought it a month ago, and I am loving it! Definitely suggest to read it, very motivational but also educational!
Exercise band
A few months ago I ordered exercise band from Joom. It has changed my whole exercise routine and only from one month of constant exercises for my booty, it looks so different is so much better looking. Exercise band made such a huge different! If you are interested, you can search it on Joom. I paid around 3-4 EUR.

Fashion quarantine must-haves
I would not say that during this quarantine I have been much of fashionista, I do not want to lie. First two weeks I spend in PJs the whole day! Then I realized how lazy and unproductive that makes me be and feel, so I started to dress up everyday at moment that I wake up.
These are my quarantine favorites that has made my quarantine much warmer, cozier and a lot more comfortable! Some of them I did not appreciate enough before all this started. I appreciate them now but I cannot wait to wear something else!
Joggers
I was living in my Nike joggers for weeks! Now it gets a little bit too warm for them. But a good pair of joggers is a must-have. Easy to move in them, leave the house to go grocery shopping, and for any other tasks that you may need to do! Somedays I did miss my jeans and got in my skinny jeans and they even felt great!
A week ago I received my joggers from Squatwolf. A little pricey, but they have the highest quality! Check Squatwolf HERE!
Hoodie
I appreciated my pink and bright hoodie more than I ever did before. Also, I always though that hoodies are so boring and not flattering at all but to be honest, when I film my Youtube videos, my pink hoodie stands out a lot in my videos. Many times I wear the hoodie when filming! Loose hoodies wear with skinny and stretchy leggings and it will even look flattering on you!
Stretchy leggings
My all-time favorite leggings that I got some months ago from Strawberry Capri- small business. I have worn them tons and they are very comfortable. A little sad thought that they are a little bit too big for me than they used to be. Working out almost every day really pays off!
What I wanted to say that if in joggers I sometimes can feel lazy and messy and not put together (like a mom of 6 crying kids). Then stretchy leggings are very flattering and look amazing on any body type and I am living for that!
Adidas Superstar
When we were free as birds, I used to change up my footwear according to the style and my outfit that day. Now for the last six months, I have only been using my Adidas Superstar and nothing else. I do not mind as I love these sneakers but I cannot wait to dress up a little more!
Also- what Adidas sneakers are popular and famous now? Which does not cost a fortune because Superstar was a little expensive but I wanted them so much that I got them anyway!
I could only find white Adidas Superstar sneakers on Amazon.
New Balance running shoes
I got them for Christmas and they are meant to be running shoes but of course that there are no running involved lately (except to the fridge). I have been exercising online that I am so happy about so New Balance running shoes have been a good help in that!
What I love about these running sneakers is that they are very flexible, light-weighted and comfortable (they feel like a sock).
These New Balance running shoes from Amazon are similar to the ones I have!
Beauty and skincare must-haves
Most of my days I have spent without the makeup and even when I applied makeup it was mostly for photos or when filming my Youtube videos! My skin feels very relieved and good rested because of that, what about you? Did you let your skin breathe? I see many bloggers and Youtubers still applying a full face of makeup every day! I think we need to use this time to let our skin and hair breathe from all the products and chemicals and use these quarantine must-haves instead!
Pixi beauty glow stick
I casually rediscovered the Pixi beauty glow stick and its amazing capability of making my skin look so moisturized and healthy by only applying this product. Sometimes I use these types of products like moisturizers or primers underneath the makeup. Once when I did that, I saw how beautiful it makes my skin look- beautiful and natural glow but at the same time also giving some moisture! I like it when one product can make such a big difference!
By the way, it is great to use also for your lips like a lip balm. It has multi-purpose, therefore it is always in my hand bag. Well, whenever we can leave the house again!
Hand cream
Our hands maybe are not so much hurt by sunlight or wind, but their skin gets exposed to all the drying hand sanitizers. Therefore, to help it heal, we should moisturize our hands much more and include a hand cream in our quarantine must-haves.
I will be honest that I am mostly using my body lotion after shower on my arms and legs and at the same time I get some on my hands as well! Hand cream for me is more for the time I do manicure or I keep one always in my handbag!
Have any of my quarantine lifestyle must-haves been your must-haves as well? I did not mention Netflix, TV, laptop, or phone because I think that those are just too obvious to even worth mentioning. Everyone knows about those essentials but maybe not many knew about the ones I mentioned. Let me know!
