Many millions of people are staying at home, to minimize the risk of transmission, and to adhere to social distancing and shelter-in-place advisories. We caught up with one of our alumni, Kim Santo (Core ’98, BU ’00 & ’02), on Facebook, to ask how she’s prioritizing self-care and healthy habits.
Kim writes:
“Hello, Core! Here are a few self-care recommendations for people stuck at home for the time being.Clockwise from the center top:
- Snacks: Prunes and Pistachios!
- Bar soap (everyone is scrounging for anti-bac liquid – a humble bar of moisturizing bar soap works just fine)
- A way to listen to music, either a Bluetooth speaker or headphones or both
- Some good books, of course. Are we not Core? Cmon now. And…
- Caffeine-free herbal teas are good nerve tonics, but if you want the caffeinated stuff, I recommend plain ol green tea such as Japanese Sencha or Chinese Mao Jian.”
Sound suggestions! Kim is often to be found in the EnCore Facebook group, and has made a commitment to attend as many of our weekly Digital Core Tea gatherings on Zoom through the remainder of this spring semester.
