We are all going though an unprecedented time in our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic is putting a lot of stress and strain on families. Small businesses like ours are also hurting and consequently the local businesses and artisans that supply us are too; many businesses will not survive this pandemic.

one day at a time
managing well Haven’t left my house since March 13. Having groceries delivered
Also haven’t been to the shops. A 3 week wait for groceries to be delivered in our area. One way to diet 🙂
As i read your ‘one way to diet’ comment… I’ll just say I’m very thankful my husband and I started a daily fasting practise last fall, and are established in that now. It makes food and eating way less of a perceived or real emergency now during this season!
Not well not used to no school and being laid off no income and 2 kids to raise alone, definitely losing my mind!
Definately need to destress during these times! Thanks for the great give away!
My lips are mucho chapped.
To cope with the stress I read.
We will be strong again! Thank you so much for the treats to help is along!
Fine. I am using the time to de-stress.
This is an excellent idea and I would love to participate in this contest. Thank you!
Would love to de-stress with these lovely products! Fingers crossed! Stay Safe & Healthy!!!
We’re staying in touch with our family via Skype & Hangouts. Our grandson is sending us video updates daily on his activities. It’s really hard not being together in person though.
What would we have done without the internet?
Just staying positive, face timing family and riding my bike.
One day at a time I try not to keep focused on the news but yet keep informed. I have been keeping busy with the kiddos and having nights for me time just to unwind and breathe. Keep safe & healthy
I’m trying to keep things in perspective; there are worse things than staying home!!
Very true 😊
I do pick ups for the food bank 5 days a week.
👍
Thank you for the nice giveaway chance!
I am taking long walks and then doing some crafts
We are fine. I did lose my job and I have 9 elderly rescue cats to take care of.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it won’t take too long for things to get better.
I have been a What a Jewel customer for a very long time. The orders that I’ve gifted to Family & Friends have been enjoyed & treasured! I’d Love to win … and Wish everyone Peace, Health and Luck during this time of Global Illness. Pray ing for our 🌎 Planet❤️
👍
Staying calm, going on a few short walks every day, and trying to have patience with my husband..
I am trying not to stress by staying busy by crafting, cleaning my home and trying to relax with a movie here and there. Thanks for this amazing opportunity.
Extremely thankful we have acreage to roam!
We are hunkering are down, and making sure to social distance, wash hands, and keep our immune systems boosted.
Staying “Home Sweet Home” safe as we should to do our part in helping with the pandemic. 💜
Good and bad days. When the sun is shining I feel as if I can get through this.
Cooking, cleaning, exercising, reading – just trying to keep myself busy!
going for daily walks to keep my sanity
I am coping by spring cleaning the house, crafting and preparing for my gardening days which I hope will be here soon!
I try and think good thoughts when I start to feel down. It’s hard on everyone. Walks help also. Take care of yourselves out there and each other.
Staying healthy and home as much as possible during this pandemic, and caring for parents over 80 and my mother in law (90 years young), delivering to them goods as needed. Like most, much of my work has disappeared but I am hopeful that when this passes, though it will take time to get through this ..we will all have a greater appreciation of the important things in life (health and family) and hopefully have all learned more caring and compassion too. Stay well and healthy everyone! This giveaway/contest is such a lovely surprise and well received! Thank you Graeme!
Yes, also looking after parents in early and late 90’s. Stay well.
Just relaxing at home and watching a lot of tv.
Not well. I hqve anxiety and depression and this is stressful.
Hang in there.
I am having a hard time with my anxiety. When I stress more my autoimmune disease flares up. I am doing my best to keep strong for I am looking after my elderly parents and my furbabies too. Thank you for the chance. Take care everyone. 🥰
Hang in there!
I am going for a long daily walk!
I’m binge watching Cake Boss and exercising/taking walks outside. Our puppy keeps me pretty busy too!
Pets = stress reliever
How awesome it would be to win!
Praying, walking, resting, staying connected via various social media platforms, trying to get housework done.
I been working everyday so my stress level is really high. I wind down at night by listening to audio mediation podcasts.
organizing and cleaning
Love natural products that are palm free!
Lots of praying and trusting in the Lord.
I am staying home by myself and going for a daily walk
I’m spending time at home. Going out bi-weekly for groceries and taking a walk to the community mailbox. However, I do tend to eat more if I’m cooped up inside. So I also do daily walks on the treadmill.
It seems you are not alone. Everybody is eating more. Can’t get anybody to deliver groceries, have to sit at the computer waiting for a delivery spot open up, like a cat waiting to pounce.
amazing! i’d love to win this. we are self isolating and going for walks
I am doing a lot of reading and binge watching TV shows.
I go for morning runs, and listen to music, also catching up on some anime series.
By not watching the news.
😉
Awesome!!!
Playing video games and taking long walks outside.
Trying to get out for a walk and enjoying the sun when it shines
I’m still working as a resident physician, so I am just staying calm and helping others decrease their stress mostly. When I am at home, relaxing baths and wine!
Thank you.
OMG .AWESOME.TY.
I have good and bad days. I find it hard being on my own with no social interactions other than on the phone. I’m hoping that as the weather gets nicer I will be able to get outside more and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
Hang in there.
I am going on a daily walk, weight training and yoga
This would be amazing thank you for the chance to wellness
Homeschooling the kids and drinking unhealthy amounts of coffee
Yes, just made myself a latte.
managing well I do not feel stressed at all
Just in time
I’m have Type 1 Diabetes so I’ve been isolatio since the end of February. I miss seeing my sister and i’ve never really been apart from her. We always saw each other on a weekly, sometimes daily basis.
👭
I am still doing everything that I would normally be doing daily prior to the Pandemic. We are on Spring Break for this week but, next week I will resume teaching from home. I have been doing this since March 16.
I am coping by reminding myself that many people are living with the same uncertainty as I am.
How am I coping? Not as well as I would like.
The staying at home except for essential trips is not a problem. Having the kids home and homeschooling wasn’t a problem. But having my wife have to work from home at the same time as the school is trying to set up e-learning and having our whole routine upended . . . that’s been a bit much for me.
Plus side? My grocery store had TP in stock last week.
Just. In. Time.
I am staying calm ,exercising by walking and watching movies
I’ve been watching movies and netflix…great way to escape reality.
I am staying well. I do get concerned because I am a heart patient. I have an appointment with my cardiologist next month that hasn’t been cancelled yet. I am a loner so staying home is good for me.
Staying in is not that hard for me. But it is stressing dealing with the virus. To take my mind of the news I read and watch tv.
Relaxing at home.
I have been doing a lot of yoga and Pilates at home to cope.
The coping is becoming harder as dates for the end keep moving. Not much leadership to cheer one up.
We are staying home and safe, playing lots of games and becoming amazing bakers!
We are doing well, but we all have days were we need time outs 🤪
I’m not coping well. Feel like I’m having panic attacks multiple times a day.
i need that bag for my best friend its so her
I have been working being a caregiver during the pandemic and lots of praying.
I got internet!
We have been self-isolating…. and only one of us (usually my husband) going out for groceries, cat food, and prescriptions. If we do need to get out of the house, we’ve gone for neighbourhood walks (practicing social distancing when we encounter other walkers) or we go for a little drive around our small city.
I am not stressed out but with all my free time I am spending a lot of my free time reading and babysitting grandchildren.
You need to keep walking
But not too closely. Interesting article: https://medium.com/@jurgenthoelen/belgian-dutch-study-why-in-times-of-covid-19-you-can-not-walk-run-bike-close-to-each-other-a5df19c77d08
Great giveaway, very timely.
Relaxing music and lots of tea
Still working…half in the office and half from home. My daughter came to visit for March Break and, since school is not back in, she is still here…that’s a pretty awesome silver lining in this mess.
I’m coping with Covid by keeping my nails and hair pretty, and lots of Netflix 🙂
helping grand kids with school work while parents work from home
Well it is very stressful and boring staying inside, but try to be productive TRY I have really bad anxiety so that doesn’t always help but I want to get a bike so I can ride around and get fresh air.
Thankfully I have 3 dogs at home that need walks several times a day so I get out of the house & into the fresh air & sunshine which definitely helps during this stressful time.
trying to stay away from everyone and Praying for all the sick the well that they dont get sick and talking to our Lord and asking him to Kill this virous Amen
This is awesome
I have been crafting, cooking and spending alot of time binge watching.
This has been a very stressful time with this virus. I am used to playing cards (Euchre) at the senior center once a week and at another center in another town. Also I like to go on trips with our senior center. So having to stay home has been very depressing.
Better safe than sorry (or worse)
This is so needed right now! This is so awsome!
I’m trying to do an hour of cardio every day to manage the stress
Nice contest,this is needed at this time.
Keeping up with a routine has been vital for me! Spending time outdoors, eating healthy foods, and keeping in touch with friends and family through text and phone. Hang in there, everyone!
👌
I am coping by enjoying our beautiful sunny days by sitting on our back porch. I read a lot, cook, and watch TV with family.
I am reading, walking, playing with the pets, building jigsaw puzzles, making masks, calling friends and family, and dreaming of spring and green grass and gardening!
I’m spring cleaning, watching movies and TV shows, reading, baking goodies, and playing board games while dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
I read and play board games to cope with the stress.
We are doing a lot of reading and puzzles, and going outside for fresh air and sunshine every day!
Catching up on my house cleaning. That takes my mind off things for a while.
I’m coping by trying to get exercise in every day and baking, baking and more baking!

It’s ok. I live with my family and glad l do as they do everything for me. I love living with my 2 grandchildren 💖👫
Treating myself to skin care that’s more than St Ives Scrub and Cetaphil Lotion for the first time in my 33 years! Also getting deeper into tea and aromatherapy… and enjoying pet garden snails!
OH and crafting! My old, forgotten needlepoint kits are getting dusted off: )
Practicing the three R’s – reading, relaxing & renovating. Thanks,
Thank you for the chance.
We are coping by getting some long awaited home updates done around the house.
Thank you for doing this giveaway. I was a stay at home mom before so it hasn’t been too rough but we are feeling the financial strain due to my other half being laid off and not eligible for unemployment, even with the exemptions for this virus…stay safe everyone!
Unfortunately, lot of people who need it, don’t qualify for the government assistance.
lots of sex
Luckily my spouse and I have good home entertainment to help alleviate boredom- we have a new PlayStation 4 to play our favorite games on (for me, it’s pinball lol), cable TV including Netflix, (thanks to a friend of mine that is allowing me to ‘borrow’ her account) where I’ve been binge watching The Crown series, and internet of course that allows me to enter online sweeps like this one! : ) All of these entertainment choices really help me to stay occupied and keep stress at bay.
Lots of movies and binge watching tv shows. Taking my dog for a walk.
i have been reading alot. walking and enjoying the sun when we get it
Yoga and binge watching my favorite shows.
Just doing what I can and working around the rest.
Runs in the park.
I am coping by spending more quality time with my three boys and doing some mediation and prayer.
I’ve been trying to get out more and talk to my friends more by apps like Zoom.
I’ve been doing pretty well. I’ve been reading, watching some very interesting tv shows and playing Nintendo games with my sons. Their online schooling also keeps me busy during the day.
I am exercising more to cope with the stress.
I’ve been coping well .
Spending time with the loved ones staying home
Reading!
I am limiting the amount of news I watch or read each day.
Yes, it’s difficult to know what’s fact and what’s is not. “You don’t need to wear a mask” then “You must wear a mask” (I believe the latter is true)
I’m trying to stay busy and not look at the news everyday. My husband and I have been Spring cleaning the house which has been a lot of busy work, which is great. I’ve also been reading more books and taking walks.
Relaxing chores expectations and taking time for myself at the end of each day
Luckily I am able to work from home. Work does make the day go faster.
Technically, I’ve been home for most of the time to begin with, but many things being closed is a tiny bit stressful. I cope by being as productive as I can be at home. I’m also taking some extra me-time for self care and meditation. 🙂
After working in yard, pulled back muscle so stressed out package would come in handy!
Good items…
In order to help others we must first help ourselves. Great prize!
I cope with COVID-19 by staying clean and calm. Staying mostly pure is the highest priority for me
doing some cleaning around the house
The perfect stress relief pack!
This would be lovely during this time of isolation.
I still work fulltime, at a group home. I cannot visit my Dad, he is 79 in a care facility. Somehow getting thru. I am married and we have 3 cats.
getting by, like everyone else
I have been watching lots of netflix
Had to go to hospital and stayed for a few days before moving to rehab hospital. It has been a trip to say the least.
It’s actually really hard, and i’m bored outta my tree. I went from a 12 hour physical job to no work. so I try to keep busy with my daughter. we go on long hikes in the woods and bring the dog, we bake and do crafts. and do learning together. but it sure is a adjustment!!
To be honest I am not coping well at all. I miss seeing loved ones in person. My depression has come back in full force. I’m worried for my mom who is high risk, and I’m extremely stressed about my money situation. But I will continue to take it day by day and try my best to relax.
Been an odd year so far. The Dr told me that I really need to avoid getting it due to my health issues with NA type of COPD. I have a really bad cough for going on 11 years – meds barely do anything. Now have to worry about catching this thing plus I need dental work – but my dentist is closed due to Covid-19..sigh…Hopefully they reopen before it abscesses or I run out of dental cement. Otherwise we are managing to get by.
I miss my friends and routine and at the same time am grateful for all the work ensuring we are safe
miss being with my grand kids
Fine. I am using the time to de-stress.
I am coping by watching the Mass on TV and praying daily.
I’m lucky to have a strong network of wonderful friends online and they help me keep it together.
Keeping busy with spring cleaning.
Going outside to the yard or out walking often. Sunshine and fresh air and a break between the hubby and I. Reading so much!
Watching Movies
I’m reminding myself how very fortunate my family has been and enjoying time with them. We are watching Netflix, playing board games, communicating with family & friends via phone & on the computer and taking walks.
Watching a lot of Netflix.
I have been dealing with stress by doing some adult coloring books, and playing games on Facebook.
I have been riding my bike, taking walks, working jigsaw puzzles, and playing board games.
I have been trying to keep busy and keep up with the news.
Watching the news is definitely not relaxing.
With the constant hand-washing, our whole house would be thankful for a delivery of cream!!! 🙂
Doing my best to not leave the house except for a daily walk when the weather is nice.
It’s hitting me hard. Trying to collect movie codes to watch new ones and get by.
I’ve been staying inside and doing a bunch of self-care.. Been listening to music a lot!
We are taking the precautions and staying in unless necessary. It will work out and I pray for the ones that have and are losing loved ones. We look to God for all things work for good for those that love the Lord.
