I know it can be tempting to buy the chic pair of stilettos that you have been eyeing for a while or splurge on that coveted designer handbag, but are these items really necessary during this time of isolation?

You need to think about when you might actually use the potential purchase, because if it is not a time in the foreseeable future, it is most likely not vital. Below is a list of 7 things that are worth your money to invest in during this quarantine, as they can be put to use right away and will be the most effective while you're stuck at home.

An adorable tracksuit from your favorite store

I know, I know. Tracksuits? What is this, the 2000s? But the truth is, matching tracksuits are coming back into style, so why not embrace it now and look cute while you romp around your house. Bonus: they're super comfortable.

High-quality skincare products

I don't know about you, but I haven't put an ounce of makeup on my face since I've been in quarantine. If you're like me, the money that you are no longer spending on replacing your makeup can now be used towards buying those all natural, higher-quality products that you might have skimped out on before.

Taking good care of your skin is extremely important, and it's never too late to start doing so.

An inspiring cookbook

Now is as good of a time as any to finally learn how to cook more than a cup o'noodles. Surfing the web for recipes can be overwhelming and tiresome, so having a cookbook on hand will make it easier to find something to make more efficiently.

A couple of good books

I realize no one likes being told to "read more". But, don't underestimate the power of a good book: there's nothing better than passing the time with a gripping thriller or poetic love story.

Cute room decor

If you're going to be spending all your time in your bedroom, it might as well look cute, right? Use this time to redecorate or spruce up your room, and make it how you truly want it.

A good pair of sneakers

It's important to take care of your health by exercising regularly during this quarantine. To do so successfully, I would recommend investing in a pair of well-made sneakers that will support you in all of your athletic endeavors. Also, who ever said sneakers can't be cute?

Lots and lots of candles

It might seem like an obvious purchase, but a fragrant, flickering candle can completely change your mood. Warning: it's easy to burn through them quickly, so make sure you have plenty on hand to restock!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
