A lot of people around the world called for April Fools to be cancelled this year, but not us, nobody is going to stop our fun! During times like these, we could all use every laugh we can get, and social media is the gift that keeps on giving. Take a look at some of the accounts that make us smile when we’re feeling down
Between Art and Quarantine @tussenkunstenquarantine
This account is a compilation of the art historical recreations they have made during quarantine. Everyone is featured from Frida Kahlo to Rene Magritte. And you can join in on the fun too! All you need to do is find an artwork you love, get creative with your household props and tag the account!
Heidi Oley @heidileeoleyhair
There are a lot of jokes going around about people cutting their own hair, which will become more of a reality as we are forced to grow out our locks while salons are closed. In the meantime, Heidi Oley is changing her boyfriend’s hair every day during quarantine, and we are SO here for it. From pin-up styles to braids, she’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Celeste Barber @celestebarber
Poking fun at the unrealistic beauty standards set by celebrities and the fashion industry, Celeste Barber always makes us smile. Parodying the likes of everyone from Bella Hadid to Beyonce, she always brings the fun factor.
Dogs Working From Home @dogsworkingfromhome
Puppy therapy is always a good idea. While we’re all worried about how we’ll cope spending weeks and potentially months working from home, take some tips from these corporate pooches to help you feel better about the current situation.
Love Is Quarantine @loveisquarantine
Thought your love life fell even further down the gutter than it already had pre self-isolation? Think again! Tinder is reporting that would-be couples are speaking for much longer than usual on its app. And, inspired by Netflix hit Love Is Blind, there’s even a whole IG account dedicated to celebrating virtual love during the age of corona.
Robbie Williams @robbiewilliams
Music makes the world go round, and dozens of our favourite pop stars are cheering us up by taking to Instagram live to bring the concert to our living rooms. For some days now Robbie Williams has been livestreaming and taking song requests from his followers in what he calls “corona-oke.” Make sure to tune in!
Chloe Wise @chloewise_
Chloe Wise always makes us smile no matter what, and she keeps on spreading the fun even when she’s in quarantine. Obviously, we’re fans of her art, but Chloe herself always serves up the fun that we so desperately need right now.
William J. Simmons @wj_simmons
One especially for the studious art girl! William J. Simmons is a historian, essayist, poet and self-professed “meme queen.” Flooding his account with memes dedicates to art, feminism, history and culture, it’s just the kind of fun that we all need to brighten up our new #workfromhome lives.
