It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and also, the most terrible time to quarantine. But here we are, looking at yet another very weird holiday season. In New York, a lot of us are huddled back in our homes, feeling very March 2020, but more hopeful in that at least we have a few more tools in our COVID emergency equipment belt. And so now, whether we’re stuck at home or testing and ever-so cautiously traveling to a loved one’s home, one fact remains: not much outside of the home will be happening in the next few weeks (oh God, please let this only be the next few weeks). So once again ITG is here with a few ideas on how to pass the time inside your quarantine quarters—beautifully. Some thoughts on new-to-you treatments to try, how to transform your apartment into an elite spa, tips on salon-worthy manicures, and more. Let’s get through this together, shall we?
