The 6 positive lifestyle changes to come from Covid-19 lockdowns
WE HAVE been living with the pandemic for over a year now. The way we work, live and interact with each other has changed drastically for the better and, sometimes, for the worse. Here are positive changes we have adopted that are changing our lives for the better.
Less make-up and more skin
With many of us still working from home, it means no more clogged pores as we now have more make-up-free days.
Wearing make-up is now reserved for important Zoom meetings and the rest of the days my skincare routine includes a moisturiser, eye cream and sunscreen.
A healthy and dewy looking bare face is a big trend right now, so flaunt your natural skin with pride.
It’s okay to stay home and do nothing
Venturing outside for groceries is stressful enough, let alone meeting friends for a drink at a busy restaurant or bar. It’s okay to simply say “Maybe another time”; you don't owe anybody more than that.
Your well-being is a priority
Checking in with yourself mentally and physically has become top priority. Practice mindful gratefulness for your health and life, even with the ongoing uncertainty around us.
Plan for a self-care session of any form ahead of time, so you have a date with yourself, even if it’s just spending an hour reading a book.
Your home, your sanctuary We are spending so much time in our homes that we are putting in an extra effort to make our homes as comfortable
as we can. During lockdown I’ve become a plant mom, and it brings me so much joy watching my plants blooming.
Plus, my space has become more Instagrammable.
Out friends
The pandemic has been about shedding what no longer serves a purpose in our lives. It has become easier to ignore that Whatsapp message you with toxic and fake don’t feel like answering.
Time is precious and it’s spent with people you really about.
Online shopping is becoming more sustainable best care
The pandemic set off a surge in online shopping that has made our lives easier.
From nappies to alcohol and clothing to groceries, you can have anything delivered to your door in an hour.
