As we slowly come to accept our new normal from inside our homes, we’re doing everything we can to find small pockets of joy throughout the day. Whether that’s a 20-minute restorative yoga session, a hydrating face mask, or even a hearty bowl of pasta in the afternoon—whatever calms the nerves and makes us feel a little more at ease.
