here is no better time to prioritize yourself than now. When it comes to wellness, self-care is essential. Whether it’s juggling Zoom meetings for work, online school classes for kiddos, or just a stress overload, taking care of your mind and body may be the answer to reviving happiness.

It is important to “Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected.” To do so, we’ve had to change the way we communicate with our Museum members, volunteers, visiting public and our constituencies. Welcome to our working plan: “#MuseumFromHome”. Emphasis will be on communicating via social media and the website, while we maintain our “social distancing” in all matters. We invite you to check out the Sharlot Hall Museum Facebook page, which features our virtual tour page links and our new #HistoryAtHome feature. Check it out, and be sure to bookmark the Museum website.

Taking time out of your day for yourself will lead to a happier, healthier life in the long run. Stress management is vital in a daily routine to balance busy schedules and personal happiness. Self-care sounds like a large endeavor, but there are simple things you can do to make each day feel like a breeze. Looking for some ideas on how to add a self-care routine into your daily life? Check out the list below for some much-needed R&R. 1. A wonderful way to wind down at the end of a long, stressful day is a bath. There are many ways to take your bath up a notch with good old-fashioned bubbles, and bath salts. Epsom Salts in particular have many health benefits. According to Healthline, Epsom Salts are made of Magnesium Sulfate, a mineral known to promote sleep and stress reduction. Magnesium calms tense muscles and relaxes the mind, assuring that your stress and tension floats down the drain along with all those bubbles.

2. A classic item you may think of when envisioning your self-care routine is a face mask. Sure, a little cucumber over the eyes may help, but did you know you can make your own mask at home with basic ingredients?

Try mixing together two tablespoons of raw honey, two tablespoons of Greek yogurt, and let it sit on your face for 15-20 minutes. Honey is known for its rich antioxidants and wrinkle fighting qualities and has been used by generations to give you that glow.

3. Exercising daily is a common saying we hear often, but exercising can consist of more than just a heart racing run or calorie burning Zumba class. Slow movements can help calm the body and encourage it to move away from that fight-or-flight response. Slow your heart rate and mind by watching yoga videos via YouTube in the comfort of your home. Our favorite is Yoga with Adriene and her 12-minute wind down yoga flow. Allow yourself to open up and slowdown in the midst of a chaotic lifestyle.

Take a moment out of your day to treat yourself to a new self-care routine. With the constant growth of technology and never-ending influx of media, it has become even more important to put your wellbeing first and treat yourself to a face mask or bath. Taking time out of your day to make your body and mind a priority is the first step in becoming a better you.

ot a passion? There’s probably a podcast for that! From freestyle discussions on politics to full-scale polished productions like Welcome to Night Vale, everyone is taking to the recording booth to share their thoughts, entertain, or educate. Whether you’re looking for something to binge on your summer road trip or something simple for your daily commute, check out this suggested listening.

The Mortified Podcast (25-30 minutes) – Remember the most embarrassing moments from your childhood? We’ve all got them, and this lighthearted storytelling series encourages people to share the shame. Adults recount their cringeworthy adolescent awkwardness through diaries, letters, lyrics, and more. Their stories will bring you back to your own uncomfortable moments and remind you that it’s okay to laugh. After all, you made it through.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN 99% Invisible (under 30 minutes) – Host Roman Mars created this podcast that began as a collaboration between a San Francisco public radio station and the American Institute of Architects in San Francisco. Episodes delve into the creative thought behind the oftenunnoticed architecture and design in our everyday lives. You’ll definitely gain some new knowledge and likely a new perspective with each new episode.

TRUE CRIME You’re Not Wrong About (~60-100 minutes) – This non-serialized podcast means you can jump in on any episode without worrying if you’ve been following the mystery. Each episode examines a different crime or event made famous in history and then debunks the misconceptions surrounding that case. Think you have all the facts about the ENRON scandal or the O.J. Simpson trial? Test your knowledge with hosts Michael Hobbs and Sarah Marshall.

HISTORY The Alarmist (~30-60 minutes) – You’ve probably heard the phrase about learning from our past mistakes or being doomed to repeat them. This podcast takes a comedic approach to that lesson, using each episode to scrutinize some of the most spectacular failures in history. The hosts look at what happened,

FOOD Radio Cherry Bombe (~40-60 minutes) – Food and females are the focus of this podcast from the makers of the popular indie magazine of the same name.

If you’re looking for a little inspiration from success stories or if you’re just the ultimate foodie, this one’s for you. Be sure to keep a snack close by!
