Artistas in Isolation: Domesticity Becomes Them!
Just like you and me, some of them became plant parents, some of them embraced gardening, some even tried their hand at grooming their pets. Find out who did what, safe at home
As NCR moves into MECQ (modified enhanced community quarantine), life will slowly move to the new normal. We are commemorating this momentous day with a gallery of Philippine showbiz personalities who showed corners of their homes on social media, doing home-related things. If anything, life in quarantine has taught us that celebrity or not, staying in was one of the biggest ways to help with the COVID-19 efforts. Find out what some of our local showbiz personalities were up to at home:
Liza Soberano:
Liza’s bedroom was just too pretty, we couldn’t help but include it in our curated list:
Sharon Cuneta:
She shared her quarantine read, At My French Table, a memoir written by Australian Jane Webster about her first year in France, after purchasing a French chateau. It is a story of a family rediscovering themselves, as they explore the Normandy region of France and bring to life the once delapidated Chateau de Bosgouet.
Richard Gomez:
He's been sharing a lot of his recipes on YouTube, but the Ormoc Mayor has also been cultivating his own vegetables:

Dawn Zulueta
Quoting Brianna West, Dawn Zulueta accompanied a photo of her home with the following: "You have an opportunity right now — not to necessarily to become better, but maybe to become more settled, more whole. Maybe you’re being given a chance to quiet everything around you so you can hear your own voice. Maybe you’re being given a chance to step into more of who you are meant to be, not less. Maybe what you’re feeling is a massive, collective reset — a chance to stop thinking about why you can’t morning routine and bullet journey and read and encourage your way into a life you never wanted in the first place. Right now, the question you have to be asking is: What do I actually want to return to?" Offering words of wisdom for her social media followers, she completes the quote, "“When our lives are interrupted in any kind of significant way, it is our job to look around and notice: what have I maybe not been grateful for, and what is maybe trying to be cleared away?”

Just like Richard, Dawn has also been gardening. "Mornings are for.. Pajama-Sunbathing and Gardening! . . I had these #TowerGardens setup on our front yard as early as August 2019.. I wanted to try," she wrote as a caption to this photo.

Dawn even tried her hand at arranging some blooms in vases. "Been yearning for fresh flowers in our home.. then remembered we have a blooming Calachuchi tree, so.. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for these fragrant blessings," Dawn says in her IG post which she ended with a praise of thanks to God for the flowers.
