Covid test kits for home

August 25, 2021 by Shellie Wilson 2 Comments

Note: These are tests that you buy to test yourself for Covid at home, not tests that you make yourself. Only tests done and kits created by medical professionals should be trusted.

Who would have thought I would ever have to write a DIY post about pandemic testing. Ugh, well here we are, one year after all our DIY face mask posts went viral and now we are bringing you the DIY Covid test.

Updated:  This article was originally written back in august of 2021 and covid home tests or Rats or Rapid Antigen Tests were not even a thing, and now they are not only popular but are in short supply. Australia is struggling to fill the shelves with Rat’s or Rapid antigen tests. Unlike other countries, Australia does not provide these tests for free, so as you can imagine prices for tests (when available) are becoming crazy with prices hiked up over 1000%. So where you can find a Rat test and how much should you pay? There are Facebook groups for finding the locations of tests, but our best suggestion is to make sure you buy them BEFORE you need them. Not stockpiling, not hoarding, just enough for your family. Because when Covid grabs you, or any similar flu you are not going to want to line up for hours to get tested because you will most likely feel like shit!

Though they seem like a fantastic idea, actually getting them in stock is a little harder as it seems everyone is buying these right now. Taking your own DIY covid test is faster process than attending testing clinics that may have long lines and of course possible exposure. I literally have no idea about these tests, so for all the facts, you need to jump over to the product information and get all the medical jargon from them. Please do not e-mail me saying the disease is fake, or that I am not a Dr. etc etc. If you do not like what you read…. Scroll on by….

    So these are actual tests you buy, not tests you create, correct?

    Hi Linda – yes, and sorry for the confusion. We have added a note.

Have you read?

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
