People are coming up with amazing ways to help other people, and Pura wants to be a part of that and help you find out how to get back on your feet.

As we are more than a home fragrance diffuser, we have some ideas to help get you moving and shaking again, and maybe even help you find something new that you love!

From watching a lot more TV lately, I’ve seen tons of commercials that are being made to encourage people and get them work. Some of the top industries that are hiring and need more help than ever are: the food industry, they need extra help and support with high demands and changes in how they do things; the tech industry, zoom and slack need more help as they are taking off, and there’s always room for people who can work with technology; and delivery services, as they are needed and offering a lot to help to people who need it. Check out this article for even more areas that are looking for people like you!

One thing that we can’t take for granted is our PEOPLE. We are learning a lot about this right now, and we are all discovering how valuable our relationships are. Talking to others will not only get you through some of what you are feeling, but it may also help you get to a place that you need to be as well. Through communication and finding out what others need, you might discover what you can do or help with, and possibly find some valuable work. Never underestimate the power of communicating and networking with those around you and finding out what people need, and today it’s easier than ever to reach out.

Test out new skills and put them to the test! Baking, crafting, tik toks, you name it, all of these are extremely popular right now, and if you find something that you are into and even kind of good at, capitalize on it! Bake some cakes to cheer up a neighbors birthday, offer lawn or house work, sell some of the jewelry you’ve made, or offer a five dollar home fitness class for your friends. People are sympathetic right now, especially as friends, and they want to help you! Get fun room scents like NEST Moroccan Amber and Yuzu Citron pumping to motivate you, then get to work!

Just because you’re quarantined doesn’t mean you should feel pressure to become the next Martha Stewart or coding wizard, so make sure you’re taking this time to relax and give yourself space. Know that things aren’t going to be normal for a little bit, and it might take time for things to get better. But people are here for you, and businesses are here for you because they’re made up of people. Pura is here for you because Pura started with people in mind, and those people are what matter. Keep looking out for more ways that Pura gives back, and become a part of that, because the smell is nice.

What's keeping you going?
