Don’t let this quarantine period come in between you and your wellness journey.
During uncertain times, it’s always good to be redirected from all the panic and worry to taking care of your health. Now with the current pandemic constantly making the news headlines, it’s more important than ever to adopt a healthy lifestyle and care for our wellbeing – be it in the form of indulgent self care or choosing the right foods to keep our immunity up.
It also doesn’t hurt to look to social media for some inspiration. We’ve rounded up 6 fitness and wellness gurus to not only help brighten your day while under quarantine, but also help you along in staying fit and mentally sound while staying at home.

If you’re a fitness junkie, you would have no doubt heard about local YouTube fitness personality Joanna Soh. Not only does she make comprehensible online workout videos, she also talks about meal plans and busting fitness or lifestyle myths that impact our ideal healthy lifestyle. She’s also the first Malaysian woman to receive the YouTube Gold Play Button Award, and a winner of the Woman Leadership Award by the World Women Leadership Congress.
More than ever we’ll be needing the fun, bubbly, high-energy effervescence that Linora Low naturally radiates.

Staying cooped up at home can seem like you’re drowning in the ordinary, unless you’re Athena Calderone, who has dedicated her life to the beauty of the everyday. This interior designer, home chef, and wellness guru created EyeSwoon as a form of visual expression to “transform ordinary life into a feast for the eyes” – which is something we sorely needed during these uncertain times. She shares recipes, designs, and collaborated with like-minded tastemakers to offer her audience a glimpse into their creative processes. It’s high time we tap into Calderone’s mindset and find inspiration and peace even in the most ordinary details of our daily lives.
