While some people continue to insist that quarantine is an important time to have Super Saiyan levels of productivity, self-care is just as important.
There’s a lot to feel stressed and overwhelmed by as there is little insight as to when things will return to normal, if they ever will.
However, never fear, because all is not lost. When things start feeling heavy and you can’t remember what day it is or how many muffins you ate, it may be time to take a healthy pause.
Many people know the usual self-care tips, like drink water and take a bath. But they don’t realize that there is a host of magically relaxing ways to practice self-care in all of their pure unadulterated nerd glory.
That’s right, regular muggle self-care isn’t necessarily the best fit for all of us wizards and witches, warriors and princesses, heroes and villains, and so forth.
We need something just a bit more epic. So, without further ado, let’s get down to business to defeat the stress!
Anyone can use any old bath bomb for their bubble bath, but only those bold enough to try to yield the highest power in the universe know where to get the Her Universe Infinity Stones bath bombs. Head over to Hot Topic for a truly empowering bundle of six rosemary tea tree scented gems full of bubbly godliness.
Of course, baths aren’t for everyone. For those looking for some cathartic escapism, this next item may be perfect for you. The Coloring and Classics bundle delivers a combination of coloring books, activity books and hardcover books to read. Sometimes there’s nothing like coloring while listening to music and letting the worries of your mind melt away.
This bundle isn’t just random books—you get to choose your own specific genre. Whether you’re a lover of Romantic literature or a total Sci-Fi geek, there is something for you. Ranging from $14 to $26 per month, this delivery service allows buyers some calming flexibility.
This fun book bundle is brought to you by Cratejoy.com which also has a ton of other self-care and geeky resources for perusal.
Now that we’ve got bubbles fizzing and words to be read, let’s talk about some outdoor (but still self-isolation friendly) options. If you have a yard, patio, balcony or even just a little space for outdoor decor, this may be perfect for you.
With so much newfound time at home, more people are trying to garden. For those looking for an extra nerdy flare, look no further. There are a ton of beautiful options that will have you praising the Etsy gods for their adorkable gardening products.
Most of us have heard of it, but it’s finally time that we get one. I’m talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy Groot flower pots and planters.
These little guys put the cute in Groot and make for great mini gardens. They’re all over Etsy just waiting for you to take one of them home.
But wait! That’s not even close to being all there is. Etsy, our beloved powerhouse of DIYs has Totoro garden gnomes and figurines, Zelda themed flower pots, and every other cute nerdy garden accessory you can think of. A regular garden is for regular folks but, with these exceptional products, gardeners can keep the geek in chic.
Finally, we’ve got to do something about looking our nerdiest during those quarantine video zoom calls. Whether it’s for a geeky zoom date or just confabbing with your nerd crew, it’s fun to show off your true colors with a little (or a lot) of makeup. Espionage Cosmetics is pretty much making the dreams of gaming and makeup nerds come true with their fabulous vintage game cartridge themed makeup compacts. That’s right, I’m talking anywhere from classic Tetris to old school Kirby.
It doesn’t matter if you feel like sparkling or want to mattify, Espionage Cosmetics has everything a nerd could ask for and more. Don’t delay if you’re interested, because these lovely items have a tendency to be sold out quickly.
Thanks for tuning in folks!
That should be enough to give restless nerds a little much needed relaxation and time to explore some new hobbies.
No matter how nerdy (or not nerdy) your self-care is during the pandemic, remember that taking time for yourself isn’t selfish. Everyone needs a little breather and some time to wind down and process all of this change.
Give yourself a pat on the back. It doesn’t matter if you’re feeling like a Super Saiyan or a Snorlax, you deserve more than a little tender love and care.
