Surviving the Pandemic

Ways of keeping your spirits alive, while working remotely!

Arts/Entertainment

During these crazy times (and even when things are “normal”), it’s content with animals that guarantees to deliver a smile. Last week, a trio of adorable penguins got to escape their day-to-day routine at the Kansas City Zoo and pay a visit to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art instead. Bubbles, Maggie and Berkley got to check out the art and even pick a few favorite pieces to ponder over. Check out the video and have a great holiday weekend!

My fave girl gang is back with a new album!! Even though I won’t be able to see them live this summer any more, I’m living vicariously through them via Zoom dance classes and new music 😊.

Consumer Trends

Interesting article on how people are feeling about taking a cruise again in the future. Including what it will take for cruise ships to make passengers feel comfortable again to travel.

How SoulCycle wasn’t able to get its at-home bike to market quick enough and many die-hards ended up turning to Peloton and are now hooked. Peloton is now experiencing record growth during the pandemic.

Industry

It’s interesting to see how agencies big and small are dealing with COVID. 

Culture

This isn’t a new article, but I came across it this week and really enjoyed it. All about friendships and how they change over time, especially as we enter adulthood. A sad, but true, fact of life.

Coming off the heels of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey declaring WFH forever, Facebook has made a similar push for the employees of their company. I am curious to see how this will trickle down to other industries. Will offices become a thing of the past?
