Caring for Yourself Now

April 21, 2020 By kimwheeler 13 Comments

Thank you everyone for the kind notes and messages about the last post. I’ve added a six more ideas on how to help at the bottom of that post. Everyone has been so great brainstorming and thinking of more ways to do good in our communities for each other. It’s very inspiring.

We are trying to care for everyone in our community right now, but let’s not forget about our own health as well. Many people are getting worn down by domestic work and caregiving. A lot of us are doing a whole lot more cooking, cleaning (disinfecting!), loads of wash, helping with kids’ school, shopping for extended family and more. I told my husband the other day I have never felt so busy in my life and I don’t go anywhere! To stay healthy right now, we have to be good to ourselves too. This post is just a few tips to help you treat yourself a bit. Don’t let yourself get rundown, it’s not good for the immune system.

I was feeling and looking haggard a week or so ago. I’m not a huge high maintenance person, but I am weeks past my highlight to cover my grey and could seriously use a pedi/mani. My face has looked super dry too and my hands! Yikes.

Make sure you are eating nutritiously as you can, take vitamins and drink plenty of water right now. I realized I had fallen off the wagon a bit with all that. I got back to my routine of drinking two big glasses of water as soon as I wake up. That kind of sets the stage for a hydrated day. A squeeze of lemon in that water is nice if you have it. I fill a big carafe just for me of ice water and try to drink it through the day. My goal is to finish it by dinner. After my coffee, I have an EmergenC in my water with this pandemic going on. I figure the extra zinc and vitamins might not hurt. I also take Calm gummies if I am feeling anxiety and two to three before bed help me sleep easier.

I made some time last weekend to do nail care, mask, deep condition the hair. One thing I’ve been meaning to purchase for a while is a proper makeup mirror. I had my eye on this one by Simple Human and it went on sale so I bought it. It has been excellent. This mirror is 5xs and has a 10xs piece that is magnetic you pop on it to do brows, lashes, etc. It’s seriously good and also slightly frightening, but you need to know what is happening with your face. It has smart capabilities so you can change the light by your phone. I don’t know how I was managing before it.

Are your hands pretty bad from all the alcohol sanitizer and excess washing? I think the only thing saving me now is this soap from A La Maison. These French soaps have argon oil in them and one pump lasts a long time even with my crew. I love that they leave a little moisture on the skin. We have used almost all the scents as they are very light and subtle. The White Tea is my favorite, but we have also had Cherry Blossom, Sea Salt and I like Rosemary Mint for the kitchen. Once you try these you can’t go back to regular soaps. Sometimes I find it at Whole Foods, but they’ve been out lately and so I’ve been ordering online.

If you haven’t tried Skin Food by Weleda then this is the time with all the hand washing. I could not cope without this and just a few times a day makes my hands so much prettier. I rub this into the cuticles well and use it on my feet at night as a treatment. It’s wonderful on elbows and even so pure you can use it on the face, as I have when skiing. All the Weleda products are plant based and super pure. The key to this stuff is using the correct amount which is a small dab on the backs of your hands and work it in as it’s extremely rich.

I stumbled upon these Lumene products from Finland at CVS recently when I was out of my face wash. I first just bought the Cleansing Balm. I am crazy about this product, which you work into your skin at night and it becomes more liquid as you massage. It really feels like a facial and the massaging is so good for your face tone. I remove mine with a warm washcloth and my skin fees like I’ve been to the spa. I now also have the Sleeping Creme and the Eye Treatment. The quality of these products is excellent and I like that they all have vitamin C, arctic cloudberry, hyaluronic acid and are vegan. If you are needing something now and feeling a bit dehydrated, these work. I have sensitive skin and rosacea and they’ve been great.

I also love this whole line, Grown Alchemist which is a line created by two Australian brothers and is based on improving the health of your skin cells. The Gentle Cleanser and the hand creme and body creme are such good products!

Anthropologie carries a good variety of fun sheet masks like this variety pack of Korean ones which are always so good and these Patchcology Eye Patches. Put on some soothing music or a book on tape and do a mask! These are so hydrating.

You probably haven’t had your nails done for a while, but you can do a lot at home actually. I love working on my nails in the yard in a sunny spot.

The natural look is hot, so try removing all your nail polish for a week or so and let your nails breathe a bit. Shorter nails are not only more chic and modern, they have the advantage of being more sanitary too- kind of a big thing now. Bare nails may look terrible at first if you aren’t used to them, but after a week of no polish you’ll see a shine when the natural oils come back. One trick to look polished is to push your cuticles back after every shower or bath and use a loofah on the skin around your toenails. Rub some olive oil into them afterwards. If your cuticles are really bad you can make a scrub of white sugar and olive oil. Let it sit for a bit and then scrub away. Here’s a mask just for your hands..

When I paint my own nails, I like to have a fresh bottle – or at least something not gloopy and thick. I recently ordered this Chanel polish. I think their polishes always come in the most beautiful colors and last.

It comes in a pretty white color I love for a pedicure.

How’s your hair? I’ve heard a lot of friends thinking of trying out the grey they keep colored and letting to grow. I am going to see how long I can go and what I look like. Right now mine is a few inches out. One of the things I miss about coloring is the coating of my hair, which gives it luster and a thick feeling. This keratin shampoo can help used every once a week and also a hair mask will too. I also splurge on this Oribe shampoo occasionally which always makes my hair look better. To help the contrast of the roots not be too stark, keep the blowdryer away from your root, and alternatively let your hair air dry and you’ll see they aren’t nearly as noticeable.

This Bobbie Brown brow gel/ root touchup they can be used in the interim near the front of the face. I would use it to cover some very white strand that can make me look like I have a bare patch on the front of my scalp. I’ll let you know how I do on the grey. You can see from the top photo, it’s becoming a greige kind of color on top. I do think this is a fun opportunity to try something new and see how we look without so much maintenance. So far I haven’t attempted to cut my hair, but there sure are a lot of tutorials out there. I think I’ll see how long mine can get until I can see my dear hairdresser Abby. You can also contact your hairdresser and some are making custom mixed home kits for your color if it’s a root touch-up. (Consider pre-paying for a service by your hairdresser to help them out now. My hairdresser sent us a link to prepay for a deep conditioning to use later and we could PayPal her. You could do the same with your nail technician also. It’s a nice thing to do to support them during this!)

Other little things that you should be doing are time for yourself -escaping with a book or a relaxing hobby is nice. Take a block of time each day and mark out down time just for this and then do it. Make sure to turn off the news and turn on some music when you can. I can feel the difference in my mood and blood pressure just by playing music instead of the nightly corona report. Walk around your neighborhood to appreciate the spring flowers or listen to bird songs in the sun of your yard if you have an outdoor space. Another thing that is good is to escape into a podcast while you do chores or cook dinner. I have even just appreciated a drive to the post office by myself listening to the radio right now. A cup of herbal tea in your favorite corner is always healing. Take time to cut some flowers if you have any and if you have the space, this is the best time to start your own garden. Nothing is more rewarding and good for the soul.. More on that soon.

I hope these little tips help. Please share any thing you are doing to pamper yourself a little during this stressful time. Books and podcasts you recommend are appreciated too.

Hugs,

Kim

P.S. The blouse I am wearing on the top is from Loft and is on their sale now. It’s one of the last things I bought before we were all in.

What to Do When You’re Staying in Because of the Coronavirus

March 9, 2020 By kimwheeler 16 Comments

Maybe this post will only resonate with Californians, but we are entering our fourth week or so of this alert about this virus and a lot of people are making the choice to stay in. In some cases this is wise as we really don’t know that much about it. Our local paper today – The Mercury News, said that local hospitals are NOT testing people as they do not have the kits. They can request a county department of health person to come administer a test and UCSF and Stanford are trying to develop their own tests, so it’s probable more people have this virus and are not confirmed. It’s understandable, and smart if someone older -over 70 especially, or immune compromised, or has lung issues- chooses to stay in now. This post by an epidemiologist who studies infectious diseases among populations was very helpful and sane and some of the best advice.

I traveled last week to San Francisco to Design Influencers’s Conference and it was about two blocks from Chinatown in San Francisco, which has been much maligned as a case surfaced there. The scares in that area were overblown. Some may have been thinking I was taking my life in my own hands, but I joined friends and about 100 or more others ( I’ll share more in another post), and stayed in the hotel there two nights. The hotel did an excellent job of holding all our conference meetings in a large ballroom and had hand sanitizers about every 5 feet. It felt pretty safe and we had fun though the streets of San Francisco were usually quiet.

At the conference last week with my friend’s Cindy and Mary Ann,

At home here, people have cleared out many of the stores and stocked up on supplies. My husband’s company has told him not to come in and work from home until further notice! Business trips are cancelled, vacations are off and spring break plans are on hold. I planned to go to the BNP tennis tournament in the desert this week it has been cancelled as a case surfaced in Coachella Valley. That is the largest tennis tournament in the world, besides the grand slams, so it was a big deal, but mandated by the county and the state. Other precautions aren’t happening though. As of right now our airports are not checking anyone flying in from anywhere – another issue someone raised today. People are fully walking though customs, no health questions asked.

Empty streets from my hotel room overlooking Union Square.

So what does that mean for us right now? Well on a more positive spin, people are staying in and, as a result doing things they normally don’t or can’t do because they are dashing off to commute. Right now we may see the biggest experiment ever on working from home- how much will the Bay Area change if a huge amount of people are employed at home and off the roads? How about the typical cold and flu? Will the excellent hand washing we are now employing render the common cold and flu lowest it has been in years?

There are other benefits too.. Time to delve into what you haven’t. More time for lunches with your spouse and possibly being home to cook dinner with the kids. If you don’t work you have even more time if you are stuck in. Sure you can binge watch all the shows that are out there, but why not take this unexpected break to do what you never get to? I think it’s a lost opportunity if we don’t and I thought I’d throw a few ideas out there..

While Your Staying In…

Organize those photos and school papers. You know what I’m talking about .. those boxes lurking in the closet that you mean to get to one day. Take a damn box and sit down with your favorite music on. Go through those envelopes and throw those duplicate horrible pics out along with the negatives and keep just what you love. If you don’t now, one day your kids are going to pitch the whole thing in the trash. No they don’t have time to go through each envelope from the Grand Cayman trip or the family reunion in Kentucky. Make some executive decisions, label them in envelopes and pitch the rest. If you have very old family heirloom photos, one of a kind, make some digital copies while you are at it. This can now be made with your own phone camera, in the correct light. That way if there is a fire, you have a copy for the family. Then check the pic, adjust if needed and send digital copies to all the family members. If you have boxes of school papers, select some original and special pieces and save them in a manila folder or snap pics of cute and funny things to treasure and share. If the kids don’t want them, feel good about pitching them. They are doing you no favors taking up dust for another decade..Don’t leave this junk for your family to sort (aka throw away) one day.

Clean the pantry and refrigerator. Take this opportunity to do a deep cleanse of the food situation in your home. Great kitchens to be inspired by in our Pantry Perfection link up in January. Check you frig and the cabinets for expired items, vacuum and wipe out the cabinets and the refrigerator and note what needs replacing of staples. If you had to be home for a while what can you use the most? I’m not for huge stockpiling, but most people have their favorites. For us it’s a certain rustic bread, oat milk, our beloved Kleenex, pasta and for my son, cheese sticks and protein bars. Think of a few things you can freeze. Our generation has slacked off on using the freezer, and I’m guilty too. I got turned off by a grandma who had a freezer in the middle of her living room and froze everything.. I think we can do a fraction of what their generation did and make life easier. It’s a no brainer for bread, tortillas, pizza crusts, pastry dough, fruit and berries and meats. I also like to freeze bananas when they brown for smoothies and baked goods like cookies, etc. My grandma even used to freeze milk, and lettuce, but I can’t condone that!- update -( A kind reader, Rosemarie, sent me a note from up in Vancouver that she freezes milk and it thaws perfectly, so there you go.. More options!)

Beauty Cleanout. Here’s a day to devote to you. Think of it not as a chore, but more an old school spa day. Dig out those masks you never use- or make one with an avocado, one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of olive oil. (More DIY kitchen masks to try here – they are under-rated and no bad chemicals!) Slather that sucker on a clean face and get to work purging those bathroom drawers. Get a big bag and be ruthless. (Make sure you recycle those plastic containers. ) Anything you have had more than a year probably needs to go. Try to think how nice it would be to open your drawers and see less, and only what you need, life can be so much easier. If something is strongly scented that is usually a give away it’s gone bad. Be aware of fragrances, they can get killer strong. It can actually get offensive if it’s old and you may not notice. Get some nice things and simplify. Less, but better. Concentrate on moving to less toxic products! I have a good mix, but love things from Beauty Counter a wonderful place that has higher standards than the government for what we put on our faces and body.

Closet Purge. It’s the perfect time of year. Get in there and pull out everything and try stuff on. Think about what you want to see when you walk in the closet. Make a curated closet that feels pretty like your favorite boutique. Bag up for what to donate and resell anything that is nice at a local place like Crossroads Trading or if you don’t want to leave the house, try a clean out kit from Thredup. They send you a prepaid bag and you send your things back in it. Once you figure out what you need, make a list then try and buy something nice for the closet as a reward for purging. Instead of many outings to Target, Homegoods, etc why not spend that on one nice item- a bag or shoes more costly than usual, but with staying power. This is smart shopping and what the Italians do. All those small shopping trips can easily add up to a pair of Gucci loafers in a month, but you’d never spend the money all at once like that right? Now is the time to think how you can spend smarter. I have my eye on this pair and I’m seeing how much I save this month by not shopping.

Find a Home Workout. If you have to be home, why not get in some great shape? It’s also better for your all around mental health. Now’s the time to find options for when you are stuck inside. If you have any kind of cable, there are fitness channels and if you only have your computer you can find everything on YouTube. Just entering home workout in the search bar, I came up with a range of videos on barre, pilates, yoga, HIT, dance and more. If one peaks your interest, click on that and more will load. There is something for everyone. – Another thought is getting a Peloton. A friend just got one and if you can’t or don’t want to attend classes with others, you can do spin and other classes in your own home and watch them live. They have a special right now where you pay $58 a month for three years, no interest. The classes that go with it are an extra $30ish a month. It may be less than a health club and they deliver it by white glove service apparently! The nearest Peloton is at Stanford Shopping Center for us.

Drop a Note or Write a Letter. Do you have an aunt or family member that is far away? Nothing is kinder than a written hello or note. I love how my friend, Elizabeth, aka the Vintage Contessa uses postcards from her travels to drop a note or thank you to people. I have a huge collection of cards from my travels and I thought what a great way to actually use them, and share the beauty of them with others. So take the time to spread a little joy to those who appreciate such things, especially any older folks you may have in your life.

Get Your Garden Game on Early. This is an excellent time to tackle those weeds by hand, clean up the garden and freshen up the paint situation at home. I find just an hour out there on a Saturday makes the yard look awesome, but I rarely have the time to do it. This is the time to start fertilizing citrus and trim other plants. I do think a visit to the garden center can be inspiring and as it’s outdoors, maybe not too hazardous. Redoing planters and starting seeds pots to plant later in spring is a good thing right now. My dad has his tomato seeds starting on a heating pad right now. More tips on this time of year garden to do’s here. It will be worth the time spent when you see the results. Plus gardening feels so great right about now with all the buds blooming and the birds about!

Books- Catch up With Your Stacks. If your like me I always have a pile I’m working through. This is the time to find a cozy corner and work through those babies. Amazon is the original option and right now all the spring releases can be at your door in a day sometimes. Right now this memoir by Go-Go’s bassist, Kathy Valentine, is in my cart.

I hope some of these pretty basic ideas inspire you if you are housebound. Please share in the comments if you have ideas I can share with others too.

Take care of yourselves!

Kim

A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Car A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Carmel Valley. We try and get here at least twice a year for a little weekend retreat. 

It’s in the perfect location as you can enjoy all the charms of Carmel -and soak up the sunshine while you’re at the resort just up the road from the coast. The rooms, pools, gorgeous gardens, and mountain views are soothing. It’s my happy place and if you are near Carmel, I can’t recommend it enough.
