win — quarantine or not. To help<br />

you achieve that naturally beautiful<br />

look, try Neutrogena makeup.<br />

It’s “makeup fueled by skin care”<br />

and delivers lasting makeup benefits,<br />

packed with skin-healthy<br />

ingredients.<br />

• The eyes have it. For now, going<br />

out usually means masking up,<br />

whether we’re hanging out with<br />

friends (while social distancing),<br />

eating at a restaurant indoors or<br />

outdoors, running errands or going<br />

on a social-distancing compliant<br />

date. Not surprisingly, nearly half<br />

of respondents (48%) admit that<br />

face masks have transformed their<br />

makeup routine. That means the<br />

eyes are now pulling focus. (Raise<br />

your hand if you’ve attempted smiling<br />

with your eyes, or “smizing.”)<br />

Sixty percent say they want their<br />

eyes to be a standout feature while<br />

wearing a face covering. In 2021,<br />

watch for the rise of dramatic eye<br />

makeup to give the peepers some<br />

serious pop.<br />

• Ready for your screening. Being<br />

in quarantine and staying home<br />

doesn’t necessarily mean makeup<br />

falls by the wayside. When it’s time<br />

to make an appearance, say, right<br />

before a video meeting, many found<br />

a reason to pick up their makeup<br />

looks. During our time indoors, mascara,<br />

eyeliner and foundation were<br />

the top three products respondents<br />

found they couldn’t live without —<br />

especially when they were due for a<br />

video call for class or work.<br />

• Getting a mood boost. Being in<br />

quarantine and missing out on the<br />

things we love doing most can be a<br />

downer. While nearly half of respondents<br />

(49%) admit to ditching their<br />

normal makeup routine, just over<br />

one-third (36%) say that wearing at<br />

least some makeup actually gives<br />

their mood a lift. One in four (24%)<br />

have gone as far as trying new cosmetics,<br />

while just over half (51%)<br />

say that using makeup to change<br />

up their appearance — perhaps to<br />

compensate for the face-covering —<br />

lets them feel a sense of control and<br />

comfort during a stressful time.<br />

Hobbies to Keep Your Body<br />

and Mind Healthy and Happy<br />

As the pandemic continues to restrict<br />

many of the places you are<br />

able or inclined to go, finding ways<br />

to stay active is important for keeping<br />

the body and mind healthy and<br />

happy. Here are some ideas for new<br />

hobbies to try:<br />

• Learn a language. Bonjour!<br />

Hola! With an array of online language<br />

classes and tutorials available<br />

at your fingertips, learning a<br />

new language is more accessible<br />

than ever. Start now while you fantasize<br />

about a post-pandemic vacation<br />

overseas.<br />

• Play an instrument. Learning to<br />

play an instrument is not only a great<br />

distraction for the current moment, it<br />

can provide you with years of joy<br />

as your skill develops. Consider<br />

starting your musical journey on a<br />

Casiotone keyboard. By connecting<br />

the keyboard to the free Chordana<br />

Play app, you can easily learn to<br />

play your favorite songs from downloaded<br />

MIDI files. Once you’ve mastered<br />

the instrument, the portability<br />

of the keyboard will come in handy,<br />

whether you play solo or join a<br />

band.<br />

• Become a home chef. From sushi<br />

to soufflé to dumplings, there are<br />

likely a range of dishes you have<br />

never attempted making at home.<br />

Tackle your culinary bucket list, one<br />

by one.<br />

• Go hiking. There is no better<br />

hobby for staying fit and communing<br />

with nature than hiking, which works<br />

every muscle of the body, boosts<br />

cardiovascular health and even improves<br />

mood and mental well-being.<br />

Track your hike using a wearable<br />

tech tool geared for outdoor enthusiasts,<br />

such as a watch from the<br />

Casio’s Pro Trek line. Quad sensor<br />

technology packs all the measurements<br />

you need into one compact<br />

hiking watch, including a compass,<br />

altitude/barometer and temperature<br />

measurements, along with an accelerometer<br />

that tracks step count.<br />

Calorie calculations use both step<br />

count and altitude information to<br />

take upgrades and downgrades<br />

into consideration, and data is recorded<br />

by the Pro Trek connected<br />

app.<br />

• Volunteer. At a time when many<br />

people are struggling, consider volunteering<br />

your time to serve those<br />

in need. There are plenty of safe,<br />

socially distant volunteer opportunities,<br />

from delivering meals to the<br />

homebound to videoconferencing<br />

with socially isolated seniors to helping<br />

boost adult literacy via remote<br />

tutoring.<br />

Amid the ongoing pandemic,<br />

staying busy and positive may take<br />

creativity. However, discovering<br />

new hobbies and pursuits you love<br />

can nurture the body, mind and<br />

soul.<br />
