Quarantine Hacks to Look and Feel Your Best

It’s been almost a year of the world being on lockdown, so it is safe to say you might be feeling blue. However, since COVID 19 has continued to outbreak across the globe, we should be using all this extra time in quarantine to look and feel our best. Being bored and stressed is something the world has been constantly feeling since the pandemic outbreak, here are some quarantine hacks to help you look and feel your best!

DIY Face Masks

Having to constantly wear a face mask in public can be really annoying. Blue, disposable hospital masks are harmful to the environment, let alone boring and are not a cute accessory. Instead, repurpose some old fabric or even clothing and create a one of a kind, unique mask for yourself. This not only gives you the option to create masks that match your outfit, but also is a much eco-friendlier alternative, since they are reusable.

Skin Care

During the winter months, everybody’s skin tends to get drier than usual and can have you feeling irritated. With all the extra free time we are getting in quarantine, why not create a simple two ingredient body scrub that leaves you feeling smooth and soft. All you need is one cup of grounded up coffee beans and three tablespoons of olive oil and there you have it, a body scrub that is completely natural, eco-friendly, and exfoliates your skin to perfection.

Another hack is to switch to acne control cleanser, especially for those whose skin tends to get on the oily side. With having a mask on your face for the majority of your day, you might start to notice you have developed more facial acne than usual (especially on your jaw and chin.... GROSS!) By switching to an acne control cleanser, you will be able to fix and/ or prevent acne from occurring due to masks.

Stay Fit

It is very easy to use all this free time on our hands to be lazy and unmotivated. This will take a look on our physical appearance and mental health. Stay motivated and create a journal of unique and creative ways to stay fit. There are many ways such as finally having the time to prepare and cook a home cooked meal, instead of having to settle for uber eats. Moreover, create a workout routine that consist of what exercises you enjoy and desire. Download the app Daily Yoga: Fitness and Stretch on your IOS or Android device for a free full yoga and gym workout you can do in the comfort of your own bedroom.

Staying Creative

Whether we would like to admit it or not, we tend to spend hours of our day lying in bed and scrolling through social media, which is not the best way to live life. Use this extra time on your hands to get in touch with your creative side. Gather as much inspiration as you can, whether it is going on Pinterest or even catching up on current fashion shows and trends. Doodle, sketch, write, design, or anything that interests you and see what you can come up with. Use the time to create your own online business or update your portfolio, as I can promise you will not regret it!
