#StayatHome: 10 Books to Flip Through on Goodreads

Woohoo! It's been three weeks of self-quarantine for me, how about you? I hope by now you've been keeping yourself entertained and sane one way or another. If you've run out of ideas of what to do, you can check out the Netflix and Spotify recommendations I've got posted this past two weeks. Today I am back with more recommendations—this time it's books! Clearly, I was saving the best for last. If you follow me on Goodreads, these are all books in my Most Beloved Read list—meaning they all got five stars from me and more. Some of them you have heard of before—either from me or from everyone else—and some you may find completely unfamiliar, but you've got my guarantee that these are all worth your while. Without further ado, here are some of the books I believe you should read before you die of boredom.

#StayatHome: 10 Names to Listen to on Spotify

Hi, there! How are you holding up during these physical distancing efforts? Are you deadly bored yet? I'm back with more entertainment recommendations to accompany you for as long as you need. If last time we talked about movies and series on Netflix, this time please allow me to introduce you to 10 artists and podcasts I've been digging for a while. Just like last time, all these names are all available for you on Spotify, as it seems to be the most popular music streaming service in the world—and, again, one I actually have full access to. Before we go on with the recommendations, though, let me just applaud you in appreciation for staying home during these hard times—thank you for that, it may not seem like a lot, but it makes a difference. Now, hope you find new names to listen to here and enjoy!

#StayatHome: 10 Things to Watch on Netflix

So, uhh, this COVID-19 thing, eh? Looks like it's here to stay for a while. Well, at least where I live. I hope wherever you are, you have more luck than I do. But, if you're being responsible and staying home, you might get a little—or a lot—bored, right? Fear not! I've got a series of posts chock full of recommendations for you—films, music, books, you name it! Let's start off with some films and series recommendations. These are mostly exclusive Netflix contents as, I believe, it is the most popular and affordable streaming service out there—and one I actually have access to. Actually, I've recommended several movies and series on Netflix before—when I first tried this service—so you should go check out those too. Now I'm trying to be as diverse in choosing these titles as possible, so I hope you'll enjoy them. 

Zero-Waste Grocery: The Bulkstore & Co.

Lately, I've been finding more and more bulk store appear in Jakarta. Earlier this week Agung and I paid a visit to a packaging-free, bulk grocery store at Kemang Village called The Bulkstore & Co. Just like Saruga, this bulk store provides household needs pretty much without packaging. Agung and I had been here beforehand and we loved the selection of items they have in store, so we decided to go back and restock on some supplies. With this pandemic panic of COVID-19, people have been opting for the disposable more often and the demand for unsustainable items have risen significantly. Truthfully, this breaks my heart. Personally, I still believe there's a place for a low-impact lifestyle in this chaotic situation, but we have to be more proactive and conscious about our decisions. And this is how we are doing that.
