BLIGE IN QUARANTINE

Blige's self-quarantine life would have been rather bland without some special routines she stuck to in the comfort of her home.

Most of all, Blige took self-care seriously. She made it known to Vogue that she was learning more about "self-love" and putting her lessons to good use, saying,

Blige continued as she told the publication that her self-love lessons were necessary for when she's ready to go outside and "when everything is starting to come back to normal."

Another key routine that mixes well with self-care is "long baths!" Blige, 49, makes sure her long baths include luxury scented candles, bubble baths, music, massages, and oils.

Next on her to-do list would be to delve into her musical archives and listen to old school favorites. Blige, an acclaimed songwriter, stated that she goes as far back as the 70s before returning to 2020 for some "turn up."

She often gets decked out in her swimsuits to lounge by the poolside. Last on the list is J Blige's wine tasting for "relaxation."
