As schools transition to online classes and more people are confined to their homes, I’ve noticed more than a few desperate Facebook posts seeking ideas to keep both kids and adults occupied. It seems as though, for the first time ever, spoonies around the world have suddenly become the “experts” on something. Of course, we don’t always have the energy for activities when we’re stuck at home, but we’ve gotten pretty good at keeping ourselves entertained when we can.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive, low-stress boredom buster (that’s family-friendly!), look no further. Here are my top five coloring books to get you started on a colorful, creative journey:

Are you looking for the perfect gift for your spoonie friend? Or not sure what to put on your own Christmas list this year? Here are seven spoonie-approved gifts to fit every budget. And if all else fails, cash is one-size-fits-all!
In the latest book from chef/nutritionist/author Ariane Resnick, you’ll discover unusual recipes like sweet potato water and choco-cado fudge, inspired by one woman’s journey with Lyme disease and chemical poisoning. While much of the book reads like a personal diary, somewhat raw and unedited (she wrote the whole book in just a couple months), Ariane’s story of one serious diagnosis followed by another is one many can relate to.
If you’ve been diagnosed with Lyme disease or chemical poisoning, Ariane’s experience will especially resonate with you. But her simple recipes for health and healing can benefit anyone. As we transition into colder months and flu season approaches, easy bone broths, elixirs and healthy twists on comfort foods are the perfect recipes to keep handy for those days when you’re feeling under the weather. And for the days when even simmering a few simple ingredients in a saucepan feels like running a marathon, you can reap some of the same superfood benefits from Buddha Teas’ CBD Turmeric and Ginger Tea. This blend, reminiscent of Ariane’s Pain Relief Tea Concentrate, contains water-soluble CBD, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant turmeric and stomach-settling ginger, with zero caffeine.
If you’re anything like me (i.e. you have multiple prescriptions, dry skin and a tendency to hoard), your medicine cabinet is probably a disaster. How do you keep all those pill bottles, hair ties and lip balms organized? Here’s a hint: keep the necessities and throw out everything else! If you’re ready for a medicine cabinet makeover – or you just don’t want to spend ten minutes searching for the NyQuil when it’s time for bed – stock your bathroom with these items. They’re both fun and functional, and they’ll transform your space into a mini home spa in no time. 1. Warm Skin All Weather GuardPeople with Raynaud’s swear by this stuff. It creates a barrier between your skin and the cold air, helping you stay warm and increasing circulation. 2. Jewelry TrayKeep small items like jewelry and bobby pins handy in a cute tray. Separate compartments make it easy to organize and find the things you need in a hurry. 3. Mockingbird Meadows Sleep BalmRub this onto your temples for a headache or on pulse points and feet at bedtime. This relaxing blend of chamomile, rose petals and lavender will put you to sleep in no time. 4. Motivational Mirror DecalsStart your morning with some positivity. Choose your mantra and apply to your bathroom mirror for a little boost each day. 5. Village Naturals Therapy Cold & Allergy Relief Shower BombsEucalyptus, menthol and lemon relieve sinus congestion when you’re feeling under the weather. Throw one of these in the shower for a convenient spa experience at home. 6. Portable Pill CaseKeep pills safe and organized in a cute case that you can take on the go. Eight compartments make it easy to separate medications for each day of the week. 7. Aromatherapy Comfort Body LotionEveryone needs a good body lotion. This luxurious aromatherapy blend contains shea butter and vitamin E for long-lasting moisture and a comforting vanilla and patchouli fragrance. 8. Life is Tough Mini Heating PadFilled with rice and lavender, this mini compress can be used hot or cold for convenient relief from aches and pains. Plus it’s the perfect size for travel! 9. Vanity OrganizerThis five-compartment organizer is perfect for all those items that just need a home. Store makeup, lotion, lip balm and anything else floating around your vanity in this versatile container. 10. Tissue Box CoverThis sleek tissue box cover doubles as a trinket tray and gives your tissues a cozy home on your vanity.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and pink ribbons seem to be popping up everywhere. You can buy almost any product emblazoned with a pink ribbon these days, but that doesn’t always mean the proceeds from those purchases help patients and survivors. Want to support the cause and feel good about where your money’s going? My talented cousins at M&P Paint and Design are creating custom wood signs for breast cancer survivors this month – and you can order one for yourself or someone you know! Sign creator Meghan was inspired to give back by her own experience:
Proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research on behalf of the Michigan Softball Academy. The University of Michigan softball team will hold the eleventh annual softball academy on April 23, 2020. Since 2007, this event has raised over one million dollars for breast cancer research!
We all fight our own battles. We all need reminders when times get tough. What word goes on your sign?
