Every day I try to start the day off positive, and if possible, with a laugh. It’s a little hard to do, when you are in the same place, day in and day out, and every day is Monday, and ever day is Saturday! I don’t think any of us ever thought that at “this age” (whatever that age is) that we’d be quarantined, as a nation, in our own homes. Sure, we can go out for necessities, but other than that, well, it’s a day of bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, back to kitchen, bathroom, back to living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom then off to bed. Perhaps you have some variable if you’re working from home, but either way, it can tend to take on a bit of monotony. Since I can be a silly gal, I thought I’d share things that I’ve found in my daily life that make me smile!
Cups can make you smile?
Nude Dudes 
Mona Divine
As I said in my previous blog, I love tea. Every morning I wake up and before or after I try to meditate, I like to make my tea. Here’s where I’ve been having so much fun! I enjoy trying to figure out who’s going to get which mug today! Do you have a mug collection? Maybe you know what I’m talking about. My favorite mug these days is my Trevor Wayne “Nude Dudes” mug. Who wouldn’t want to have a cup full of naked men? Okay, maybe there’s someone, but for me, it makes me smile! My mother-in-law, who is 81 and has dementia, lives with us, and while I traditionally have a Kate Spade cupcake mug for her that was given to me by my sister-in-law Denise, now and then, I shake things up and give her my Nude Dudes mug. She giggles. My husband, on the other hand, loves Divine from the John Waters Movies, so I have a Trevor Wayne Mona Divine mug for him. It’s pretty badass… And some days, I just have to use the Trevor Wayne Resting Bitch Face mug… because sometimes you just want to have something pink that’s got an attitude.

Aromatherapy can be funny?
After tea, at some point during the day I either get stressed out, or try to do some yoga… that’s when I pull out my Warm Human Mindfulness sprays. These are aromatherapy blend sprays that were created to help people get centered, empowered, inspired and helps to set the intention for the afternoon.
There are 4 different scents for adults, as well as 4 scents for kids. I LOVE them. They’re even great for spraying on the mat for cleaning… I choose one of the four scents and spray it around me in a circle over my head. That way I’m enveloped in the mist of the amazing scents. So what’s so funny about these? Well, the names are certainly cute, and make me smile! One of them my husband says I’m not allowed to have yet… because I don’t do what it says! I’ve decided that during this time of self-quarantine, I’m going to try to earn the ability to use that one! LOL!
Pretty Dope Soul Spray 
Yoga-To-Be Free 
Spiritual Gangsta
Here are the Warm Human Mindfulness Spray names:
Peaceful AF– “I am a diving magical creature of peace, exhaling all of the stuff that freaks me out, and inhaling positivity and rainbow vibes.”
Spiritual Gangsta– “Got that Earth-loving wild spirit, warrior heart, beautiful soul that’s gonna spread love and serve the world kinda vibe.”
Pretty Dope Soul– “Humble enough to know I have a ton of flaws, but also wise enough to know that my heart is pure, and my soul is as dope as they come.”
Yoga-Ta Be Free– “I’m flexible and kind to myself every step of the way. I will rest, stretch, open my heart, breathe deeply and simply begin.”
Aren’t they fun? Can you guess which one I’m not allowed to have? LOL
Malicious Women crack me up!
Another one of my favorite thing that’s been making me smile during this self-quarantine is my stuff from Malicious Women Candle Co. They have a few things that make me smile… first of all their candles! OMG! My mom even wanted me to light one of their candles during her surgery the other day! “Fuck It.” Infused with “Just Fuck it!” with the scent of Cedar and Bourbon. There are so many sentiments that they create that make me smile, but the one I brought home to carry me through the Quarantine is “Bitch… You Got This!” Infused with “Positive Vibes” with the scent of “Pink Champagne”. You gotta love that, right? When I’m not lighting candles to make me smile, I’m wearing my Bitches Against Bullshit long sleeve shirt. I mean a girl’s gotta have one of these, right?
How to let kitchen towels crack you up!
The last thing that has been carrying me through this with a sense of humor is my Twisted Wares towels! We just recently got the “Please Wash Your Hands, No, Seriously!” towel, but my old standbys are “Shut Up, Liver, You’re doing Fine” which seems appropriate in some households I’ve spoken to lately and “Spooning leads to Forking”… but my favorite, before this whole adventure, was “Don’t Worry Dishes, No One is Doing me Either”… now it’s more likely “Good in bed”… LOL!
These Twisted towels have a great sense of humor and really help me make it through the day!

Well, I hope you enjoy seeing the things that make my self-quarantine so much more fun! You truly need to keep humor in your life these days! In some ways this time can be so hard and frustrating… and yet, as you can see, in some ways it’s so easy to bring a smile to your day! I hope that you can find humor in yours! If you come up with ideas, please don’t hesitate to share them, here, or on our Facebook or Instagram pages!
