'I enjoy spending time alone but this situation has made me re-think so many aspects of my day-to-day life and has helped me learn to better balance life and work.'

I am lucky enough to have my little studio where I am able to keep busy, work alone and self-isolate. Recently, I have started making upcycled masks with the leftover fabric I’ve been saving in my studio. At the beginning of March, I was working on a new collection and filling orders with the help of my interns. But since the outbreak, like every other business, I’ve had to send my team home to self-isolate. So, I was forced to once again start doing everything on my own.
For me, the hardest part is not being able to see and hug my loved ones, or do normal outdoor activities but I am doing my best to stay positive. To keep a positive mindset I work out every morning for about an hour and a half with my jump rope and TRX. After my workout, I pack breakfast/lunch. Usually oatmeal, a smoothie and a ginger shot!
I begin my workday by responding to e-mails, then I start on making masks and orders. The cotton masks I make are being made out of fabric scraps and are non-medical, washable masks meant only for running errands like grocery shopping. I have also started to make non-filtered surgical masks to donate to local Toronto healthcare workers. Every bit of help, no matter how big or small, counts and is very important! We are all in this together.
