Outdoor Activities

Just because you are socially distant dose not mean you still can't go outside, you can go for a walk/run around your neighborhood, go for a hike or a bike ride, go rock climbing if you have the training, if you have kids they can play with chalk in the driveway or sidewalk, have a little pool just for the family, do an outside workout when its nice, read outside, have a scavenger hunt, camp in the back yard, play outdoor games like Frisbee, corn hole, play catch or soccer. So don't think you have to stay inside unless you are sick then stay inside.

there are many things you can do to stay busy, If you are sick please stay inside and take care of yourself, and if your not sick still take care of yourself, wash your hands and stay active.

I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair.
