As is the unusual normal these days, we’ve found some stuff to make your life a little easier and more comfortable during self-isolation: There’s some magnesium bath salts for a stress-relieving soak, a Patagonia balaclava that does double duty as a fabric mask (since the CDC now recommends that you wear one in public, though you should still save the N95s for health-care workers), and a couple of easy-to-pull-on jumpsuits for people of all sizes.
When we asked a bunch of cool women about the best loungewear for plus-sized people, freelance stylist Ansley Morgan recommended this “supercomfortable but cute” jumpsuit from Nordstrom’s in-house (and eco-friendly) activewear brand Zella, which she’s been wearing for a decade. Don’t dillydally: It’s only available in sizes L and XL right now.
This pullover T-shirt dress is an easy, warm-weather alternative to the pajamas you’ve been wearing for a few too many days.
These wireless earbuds from Master & Dynamic come with an integrated microphone for your Zoom meetings, and Michael Strahan of ABC’s Good Morning America says they’re “so high-quality that they feel like bespoke headphones.”
We’ve had experts attest that magnesium helps to keep stress levels down in the body, so we think this mineral soak could provide a little more calm during this particularly stressful time.
The cinched waist adds some definition to these trendy, work (from home) coveralls without being too constricting.
A more conventional work-from-home ’fit: Some black sweatpants with adjustable drawcord hems from cool-guy-approved brand Reigning Champ.
A skiing essential that currently doubles as a fabric face mask for your essential trips to the grocery store (though be sure to pull it up over your nose if you’re using it for those purposes).

With food running low in grocery stores and on online delivery sites alike, we’ve had our eyes out for unconventional places to stock up on things to eat. Yesterday we found some (discounted) tea and coffee at Bed Bath & Beyond, and today we realized that a bunch of pantry essentials — including this on sale on sweet and savory ketchup — are available for delivery from Sur La Table. Keep in mind: Shipping is free if you spend over $59.
