L.A. WeeklyQuarantine sucks. There’s no way around it. No matter how good it is that we are all doing our part to keep ourselves and our community safe, being stuck inside most of our days is harder than we imagined. Restrictions seem to be loosening but the reopening process is still touch-and-go and the recent increase in COVID cases can be frightening. While we hope things get back to normal as soon and as safely as possible, it feels like we may be in this for a while.
With no definitive end date in sight, tolerating quarantine is getting harder by the minute. Thankfully, L.A. Weekly has the goods to get you through the good times, the bad times, and all the quarantined moments in between.
From selfless frontline workers to exhausted parents and bored roommates, there’s something in our quarantine care kit for everyone. Whether you need help relaxing, staying safe, or just want to get cozy and bliss out, the L.A. Weekly care package has all the goodies to keep you happy and healthy while staying safer at home.
Curious about what is in our ideal care package for quarantine? We have you covered. Here is the list of our favorite items that make our quarantine better:
Better Skin Co.
Nestled inside the L.A. Weekly care kit is one of our favorite skincare products: the Epik C Serum from the Better Skin Co.

A power trio complex of Vitamin C and two French plant-based actives, the serum promotes a youthful, healthy glow while working to keep your skin looking tighter and brighter. Worry lines be gone!

Because when you start with the most pure and potent distillate, you end up with the heaviest hitting gummy.

All their products are infused with hemp grown and extracted in the USA, which enables them to provide the most consistent and finest CBD on the market.

Weedmaps
Weedmaps is an essential business. Throughout this pandemic and nation-wide shutdown, they have been hard at work keeping customers connected to the medicinal and recreational herb that has helped so many. Weedmaps has worked tirelessly, not only to be the most comprehensive platform for consumers, but to build the software solutions that power businesses compliantly in the space, to advocate for legalization, social equity, and licensing in many jurisdictions, and to facilitate further learning through partnering with dozens of subject matter experts on providing detailed, accurate information about the plant. If you need cannabis, Weedmaps can help. And we love their branded merch too: socks, hats, face masks, and grinders to keep you comfortable, safe, and stocked.
