One More Thing: After lockdown, what do you realize isn’t as important as you thought it was?

My WaWa coffee run. I’ve been making my morning brew at home and stopping to smell the roses – literally.
Betty Maul, Marlton

Clothes. I don’t care what I wear now. Nobody sees me. 
Nancy Minich, Lumberton

Cork screws. Who knew there were so many good wines with a screw top?
Ruth Scott, Mt. Laurel

Driving hours to get to a meeting when it can be on Zoom. 
Mimi Butler, Cherry Hill

Overdoing the full make-up. I can go much simpler and still look professional. I’ve cut 10 minutes off my routine.
Kristi Howell, Mt. Laurel

Business clothes (suits and heels, what are those??) and needing to be in 3 places at one time. Also, the fear of missing out and general sense of overwhelm that results from being over-scheduled have dissipated.
Hala Al-Shawaf, Moorestown

Hair color.
Beth Blair-Slemmer, North Cape May

Getting things done as opposed to developing relationships.
Dawn Sutchko-Reichard, Fieldsboro

I’m not going to be wearing makeup as often. It’s nice to put on, but I realized that makeup was causing a good amount of my skin issues, which meant I needed more makeup to cover it up. 
Ann Bochon, Marlton

Going to the office. I’ve found that I get just as much work done at home (maybe more), and I like the flexibility. 
Paige Kolar, Marlton

Shoes. I’ve been in flip flops for so long, I don’t think my feet will fit into real shoes anymore. 
Rachael Ovitz, Cherry Hill

Going out as much as I used to. It’s fun, but ultimately I realized I don’t need to be spending as much money as I was before. 
Alexis Smith, Vineland

Red lipstick.
Marley Jacobs, Ocean City

Doing laundry for my family.
Corinne Dawes, Merchantville

Getting my nails done so much. My nails are so much healthier now and I don’t know why I insisted on getting them done so often. 
Carly Check, Berlin

All my kids’ activities. The down time has been nice.
Erin McCohn, Hainesport
