Remember Easter?

Jeez Louise, doesn’t April feel like it was ten years ago? I’ve been seeing so many memes about the “Early Quarantine” era and it’s making me nostalgic for my family’s first quarantine holiday: Easter!

I know I’ve said it a million times before, but my mom is the absolute best. She’s insanely optimistic and will never let anything get her down. We usually have a lot of holidays with my extended family, like Easter, which we obviously weren’t able to have this year. Even though I love Easter, it’s kind of a cursed holiday for us. One year we had to cancel because I had the flu (yes, in April, I have questions too), the next year we had to cancel because my mom had a stomach bug, and this year everything was canceled because of Miss Rona. 

But never fear, Queen Doreen is here! She still cooked us a lovely meal, set the table with a table cloth, napkins, glasses, and candles, and put some of my stuffed animals in the extra seats at our table. We all got dressy and put makeup on, like the pre-quarantine days. She made the holiday special even though it was much different from previous years. 

I kept things simple with some leggings, a dressy shirt, and white Converse. This top is adorable, but I never wear it! I thought Easter would be the perfect occasion because of the flowery details. It was really nice to do a full face of makeup too. 

Even though we made Easter fun, I would really like to fully celebrate the rest of the holidays in 2020. So if everyone could please wear a mask and socially distance, that would be great! Thanks!!!

What’s up fam? How are we doing? Hangin in there? I’ve been thanking God that the weather has been so beautiful lately. Being able to go outside for a walk or just sit on my deck and watch the world has been doing wonders for my sanity. It sucks that I can’t go out and do all the fun spring and summer-y things, but it’s looking like some parts of New York are going to be opening up on May 15th, so fingers crossed that we can get back out there at least a little!

Today, my parents and I went for a drive around Long Island, which has been our Sunday routine during quarantine. I decided to wear this comfy, springy outfit even though no one really saw me. I honestly could’ve stayed in my pajamas. But it’s nice to be a person sometimes! A crop top and leggings can do wonders for the soul.
