We\u2019re doing pretty well, to be honest. This lockdown due to the Coronavirus hasn\u2019t been easy at all. There have been moments of tension, stress, frustration, and doubts about when all of this would finally be over, what would happen with the weddings and projects we already had scheduled, and a lot of concern for the well-being of our loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not being able to go out has been pretty rough. In the first few days, we took the opportunity to get a lot of pending tasks done\u2014finishing edits for clients, catching up on emails, tweaking some things on our website, using up the leftover paint we had at home to repaint a wall that needed it, fixing some appliances, cleaning out our PCs and cameras, working out in the living room\u2026 Basically, there was plenty to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we also watched series, slept in without setting an alarm, read some books, played a few online games, listened to music just for the sake of it, and let ourselves go a little\u2014which isn\u2019t a bad thing. By the way, Carla already knew this live song (and actually played it for me and recommended it several times, but I can be a bit stubborn), but I didn\u2019t. So here\u2019s an absolute banger for you, and we\u2019ll continue with the post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vetusta Morla - Los D\u00edas Raros (En Directo)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X8VTHuH_m2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that once all of that was done\u2026 then what? How do you spend 24 hours a day at home for what ended up being two months?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things that kept us entertained for quite a while\u2014after nearly nine weeks of researching, writing, editing, asking questions, and formatting\u2014was starting and finishing something we had in mind for a long time to help couples who are planning their wedding: a guide we\u2019ve called <em>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/dalthea.com\/en\/costa-blanca-weddings\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"25278\">How to Plan a Kick-Ass Wedding That\u2019s Nothing Like Your Neighbor\u2019s,&#8221;<\/a><\/em> and we truly hope it helps all of you a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And another thing was\u2026 a photo series at home, recreating iconic or famous portraits that we love, with one key rule: we could only use what we had at home or what we could buy at the supermarket during our weekly grocery run, and the background had to be neutral since, as you know, we couldn\u2019t go anywhere, and we don\u2019t like faking photos with Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, we had an absolute blast studying the gestures, composition, lighting, makeup, and expressions\u2026 and it really helped make quarantine more bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original photographer\u2019s name is in parentheses, except for those where we couldn\u2019t find the author\u2019s name\u2014in those cases, before the parentheses, you\u2019ll see the name of the person originally photographed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re sharing the full series below\u2014let us know in the comments what you think of the photos and which one is your favorite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:66px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div
