My California Shelter in Place Mom Survival Kit

April 6, 2020
Shelter in Place Kit by popular Monterey lifestyle blog, Haute Beauty Guide: collage image of a Melissa and Doug magnet dress up doll, Disney +, Open Book by Jessica Simpson, humidifier, honest kids juice pouches, grey loungewear set, Meyers dish and hand soap, Mexico the cookbook, American Royals book, Makers chocolates, Vintner's beauty products, jade face roller, Elemis beauty products, turban, white robe, face masks, I Spy kit, and bead kit.

Our shelter in place is headed into week three but it feels like a year! Keeping Olivia busy and entertained while stuck in the house (it is raining here) has been tough. She is so used to daily outings that staying home feels like a punishment for her. I found this art kit at Maisonnette and it has been a great distraction!

Shelter In Place Kit

Other things in my quarantine kit are a good skincare routine–a mask a day keeps those stress wrinkles away. Cozy loungewear like this set from Joie and robe from Brooklinen. A few good books. I loved the Jessica Simpson book and this American Royals book. This Mexico cookbook has been a great source of inspiration for our menu. I also use this mask kit from Briogeo.

Around the house, I am using this Guardian Technologies air purifier. I move it from room to room to keep the air quality up. It also uses blue LED light technology to keep the air hospital quality clean. This kit from the Grove Collaborative is my go-to for handwashing. I have their laundry kit and home cleaning kits on auto-ship so when the crisis hit I had everything I needed to keep my home sanitized. A humidifier and thermometer round up my household must-haves.

For Olivia, I stocked up on tons of coloring books, art supplies, Disney+, and snacks! I usually only give her water and milk but a juice box is our new after nap treat!

For the next week, I decided to focus on toddler art projects. I’ll share them daily here on the blog. The kit above has most of the supplies you will need for them. Also this week, I am sharing interviews with Moms from all over the US about how they are sheltering in place and keeping their families healthy. I hope you will come back and join me in reading their stories.

Stay Safe & Healthy,

Doran

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

We all know my love for @coola SPF but let's talk We all know my love for @coola SPF but let's talk about their new skincare line! #presssample

Glowing Greens Detoxifying Facial Cleansing Gel - Antioxidant-rich Seaweed helps to gently dissolve away skin impurities and toxins while replenishing skin’s hydration. Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free. I used this as a morning cleanse or second cleanse at night. 

Skin Renewal Serum -  A nutrient dense serum perfect for renewal of the skin.  An all in one style serum packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, anti-oxidants and Moringa oil.  I used this am and pm to help with hydration levels. 
 I found my skin was plump and retained moisture all night.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

The Great Barrier Reef Cream - My favorite of the bunch.  The texture is light and creamy.  It absorbs quickly.  California Sea Kelp Actives, rich in essential nutrients and polyphenols, fortifies and hydrates skin’s barrier.  This is a gorgeous day cream.  It paired well with my SPF and foundation without any piling or caking.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

Available now @Nordstrom and @Revolve.  Shop the link in my bio.  Press samples.  All opinions are my own.  @COOLA #COOLA  #COOLASkincare

Vitamin c and SPF go together like cookies and mil Vitamin c and SPF go together like cookies and milk—they just make each other better. Vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and protect the skin. When vitamin C and spf are used together skin has boosted protection from UV rays.  Vitamin C is a skin booster, brightened and helps even skin tone. SPF protects from further damage allowing Vitamin to work on older damage. 

The texture of this new @supergoop Daily Dose is gorgeous. It absorbs quickly and leaves behind a soft glow. Trust me this is going to be your go to product as we all start heading outdoors again. 

If you are concerned about hyperpigmentation, sun damage or  uneven skin tone then this one is a winner.
