From Cosmopolitan

Seeing as we're kind of all in this coronavirus lockdown together (albeit physically apart), we've been interested in seeing how celebrities are coping. And from Love Is Blind's Lauren and Cameron to Dacre Montgomery from Stranger Things, we have been loving the recommendations.

The latest stars to share their Isolation Favourites are Olivia and Alex Bowen, who spoke to Cosmopolitan UK about how they've been filling their days at home. Anybody else suddenly feeling inspired about how to schedule their time?

Home workouts

"I think I've actually worked out more than I usually do," Olivia explained. "We've been getting up in the morning, working out in the garden and then having breakfast. I've been using the Shreddy app because they've got loads of home workouts on there. So I've been going through that every week, five days a week."

Watching Gotham

Alex revealed, "Our favourite isolation thing to watch is Gotham. It's geeky Batman! I've already watched it, so I'm making [Olivia] watch it with me. We're also watching Ozark - obviously the third series has just come out, and we forgot what happened in series one and two, so we've had to watch them again to catch up!"

Cooking

"Another thing I've sort of been doing in isolation is cooking," Olivia commented. "Normally when you're out and about, you don't have time to cook nice food or eat healthily. I've been using this time to learn new recipes, using different vegetables, meat, fish. It's been a good opportunity to eat new foods."

A 5k challenge

Alex says, "I've been doing a 5k challenge with my friends. We try and beat each other's score everyday! To be honest, it's nice to try and beat your own score, and you're getting fit as well. I haven't run in years but it's got me back into it, which is really good."

Skincare

"Now we've got more time in the morning and the evenings, I've been making sure my skincare regime is on point. I've been using a lot of The Ordinary range, and also Pixi Beauty, which I've found are so good and have really cleared my skin up. Taking the time and doing a bit of self care is so worthwhile."

We love these two!
