On December 31st 2019, many were excited to celebrate the end of one decade as well as celebrate a fresh begin to the next decade. on that extremely day, China alerted who to a number of unusual situations of pneumonia that broke out in Wuhan. On January 7th, that virus was determined as well as named Coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV. From there, the virus spread, affecting China as well as today, as I sit right here as well as compose this from the desk in my bedroom, majority of the world. almost every single country as well as every single person is impacted by this virus as well as there is a sense of stress and anxiety as well as fear over what is to find as well as exactly how this will continue to effect us all.

And that’s just it, this is impacting all of us. countries are on lockdown, cities under quarantine, as well as officials continue to implore us to heed warnings to assist flatten the curve of this virus. You’re hearing a great deal about washing your hands, social distancing, not gathering in groups, as well as staying home. I am not an professional in this field as well as won’t pretend to be, so I suggest you comply with dependable regional news sources in addition to who as well as CDC for updates.

I understand a great deal of info is being shared on the internet in every avenue, as well as while I did share an picture as well as a few thoughts on Instagram, this is a time that has us in uncharted territory. exactly how as well as what we share as a brand feels murky, in the method that I do not want to minimize what is happening, however I likewise understand each time such as this people crave stability as well as an escape. Our site has always been as getaway of sorts, a location for like minded individuals who like designer bags as well as accessories to find together with others who share the exact same passion. It’s the reason I fell in like with designer bags in the very first place, it brought me joy as well as as this neighborhood has grown, I’ve felt such happiness in sharing this shared like together.

What does that mean for PurseBlog? Myself as well as the rest of the PurseBlog team are extremely lucky, we can work from house as well as we can continue to share material with you. We are going to brainstorm extra concepts as well as features that we believe you would like to checked out during this time around (some are longer pieces, so there may be less everyday posts some days). One major thing that will be lacking is our in-house picture production: you won’t see as many of our own photos, as almost every fashion brand we pull product from have their teams working from house as well as will not be able to send samples. However, I’d like to hear if there is something specific you would like to see from us as well as please do feel free to leave a comment or decrease me an email if there is any type of question, comment, or concern at any type of time. I discover continuing to work brings a feeling of normalcy as well as stability in an otherwise extremely frightening time.

And speaking of that, I would be remiss to not truly touch on exactly how much of an effect this is having on so many people across the world. I’ve been dissatisfied to see so many social network messages being shared that surround exactly how this is a time at house to relax together with other different concepts that include a great deal of downtime as well as self-care. Of course, that would be ideal, if it were only that easy.

Millions of people will be dealing with lost wages, little businesses will be having a hard time to stay afloat, as well as many will be worried about affording food, rent, as well as exactly how to care for their kids during this time around as well as in the months after. We are in a subset that is incredibly lucky to be able to stay house as well as continue to work, however many are not. I don’t understand the precise response for that, however I do want to state if any type of of you have concepts exactly how to assist the little businesses in your areas, please decrease thoughts below. When stores are back up as well as running, do shop local, eat local, as well as try to stop as well as listen to what the people in your area are saying. I am sure many of you are dealing with an unsteady time as well, as well as I desire there was something I might do to assist each of you personally. It pains me to believe of exactly how many people will be out of work since of this. So before you repost exactly how simple it can be right now to sing, dance, checked out books, as well as sit on the couch, keep in mind that many are not only not able to do that, however dealing with serious monetary uncertainty. To those that have to still go in to your task in order to provide for yourself as well as your family, say thanks to you as well as stay safe. as well as a extremely huge say thanks to you to those in the healthcare market fighting this on the frontlines. You are assisting save the world, we are so lucky to have you all.
