Amazon still delivers, and check your local stores to see if they provide delivery options.
Let’s be real, keeping up with the news on this pandemic has been stressful, but it is important to stay knowledgeable. To remedy any fear or anxiety from the heaviness of the media, find some light-hearted content to watch or read. Take a look at all of the funny memes on social media, embark on Lizzo’s meditation on her Instagram profile, and talk to your friends and family. This leads us to–
Social distancing is necessary (and temporary), but that doesn’t mean you have to be alone! FaceTime your loved ones. Create group messages with your friends and family. Assemble a community that can help those more susceptible to the virus like writing virtual letters to patients in nursing homes or delivering groceries to a neighbor in need (but only if you’re feeling 100% healthy!).
Take a few minutes out of your day to talk to a loved one about whatever worries or stressors you may be experiencing. Or just send gifs of puppies and acai bowls all day! Despite the physical separation, we are all experiencing this together, so let’s *virtually* connect with one another through love, support, and kindness.
Most importantly, stay in touch with yourself. This is a great opportunity to look within, create any new goals you want to achieve, or start a hobby like drawing, learning how to play the guitar, cooking — anything that sparks your curiosity! Added here is a coloring sheet made by CMO and Playa Bowls co-founder, Abby Taylor to add to your new list of hobbies and ways of letting go of the stresses of coronavirus. Click here to download!

Stay healthy, happy, and safe Playa bros and babes!
