Are you feeling the social isolation blues? You're not the only one — our current situation is making us all a little batty, especially for those who are essential workers and enduring more stress. But even in the midst of this incredibly difficult time, it's important to prioritize you.
Treat yourself right with these beauty picks that are as affordable as they indulgent. With so many folks out of work, money is tight for a lot of people — which is why all of these picks are under $50.
Golda Sphere Soap, $18, at Asrai Garden
Why bathe yourself in plain old bar soap, when you can do it with this beautiful sphere-shaped soap? Talk about serious aesthetics. For extra hydration, it includes "Aomori Hiba essential oil, only found in 300 year old Aomori Hiba trees" in Japan. Excuse me, I am not leaving my shower anytime soon.

Static Nails Smoke Show Pop-On Reusable Manicure Set, $16, Nordstrom
That coronavirus life may be interrupting your biweekly nail appointments, but with Static Nails' reusable press-on nails, you can have salon-quality tips in no time.
