As most of us start to come to terms with the idea of our temporary new normal and practice social distancing, slowly but surely our tastes and what we now want to prioritize are changing. At least this is the reality for me in Germany where I have been mostly indoors for the past two weeks. My only exposure to the outer world is limited to supermarket visits and a run in the park. The only items of clothing I have been wearing for the past two weeks are pyjamas, lounge wear and gym clothing. While I know most approach quarantine with disgust and frustration an imposed vacation is an ease for me, in addition to which, I have less clothes to sort on laundry day.
But even as these days call for fewer material requirements to get through them, I am still bombarded with endless flash and self-care sale emails from my favourite stores. While they are without a doubt tempting, they seem highly unethical at this time, considering the number of hands the order has to go through before it gets to your door.
