Self-isolation cheat sheet
We know what I intended to be doing. But how did quarantine turn out after all?
Cooking
Highlights include:
Falafel, Pizza, Prawn curry,
Quinoa salads (I don’t know how this made its way to the list)
Zillion-calorie morning smoothie (yum – I’ll get back to you for this one)
Bougatsa, Galaktoboureko, Tsoureki, Ice-cream
Trusting what the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay, Genaro Contaldo, Nigella, Akis, Argiro have to offer but also checking out niche bloggers & youTubers.

Workouts
Fair warning : her routines are brutal.
Recommendations to get you going:
TA METHOD EXPRESS
(let it roll over to sections 2-6 for a complete workout or just do as much as you can handle )
TAM PRECISION TONING
(auto-play through to workout 4 or suit yourself)
The Tracy Anderson Method Mat Workout
(this one is a full workout in itself)
Onwards, just keep exploring – she has tons of great material online.
Watching & Listening
What I am watching & listening goes roughly like this:
Ozark (only series at the moment & highly recommend)
Russel Brand Videos
Garry Vee home sessions (vertical viewing though – constantly skipping to the parts that seem interesting)
Live performances from both professionals and courageous friends
The occasional blockbuster musical
Fitness, beauty & DIY videos

Beauty
Some nutrition and MASKS whenever I get to remember.
It’s also time for a balcony tan.
Face yoga seems to be yielding results . Check out the links.
A sabbatical from all salon treatments is a must and will do wonders for the image. Just abstain and don’t try to replicate anything at home.
I am single obviously and don’t necessarily recommend this route if you are living with a significant other. Except for the No-Makeup Makeup which is an absolute must. Try your hand in it here.
Reading
But what am I reading?
Some classics (e.g. Charles Dickens, Vassilis Vassilikos), poetry (my aunt has a new book out), Mickey Mouse (comes with the paper and is remarkably exhilarating)
My favourite blogs and newsletters, e.g. Mark Manson & Alain De Botton.
Art News, like mad, to get a feeling of the global community’s response to the emergency and determine what happens next.

Some links for reference but for economy’s sake it is best that you google individually at your own pace to explore further.
