Self-isolation can be frustrating, you start feeling bored and sometimes you even become mentally affected. Personally, I broke down two days ago everything got really tough thinking about my loved one in the front line. It's no surprise that at the moment you might be feeling bored and distant from your family and friends that are isolating as on the other side of the world.
Some people have been glued to their tv set, subscribed to different movie platforms but even at that it can get really boring, come to think of it your eyes are at risk.
In other to stay connected and close to your family members while self-isolating here are ways to keep them close.
1. Book club: Reading and discussion group.
I started a book club on telegram with a friend ( nalianka). This is a perfect time to read more. You can start reading books with your friends and family, discuss it over video chat. This keeps you going and helps you look forward to something hereby keeping your brain active and staying socially connected in a positive way.
2. Playing online games
Trust me this helps a lot, you are not just active but you also feel challenged and it also takes your mind off the issue the world is facing at hand. I play ludo king and spelling Scrabble games.
3. Work out together on video chat.
Exercising is a very effective way of staying active, positive and keeping your mental health intact. Because we are all on lockdown doesn't mean that you can't work out with someone. You can work out with your friends and loved ones on video chat.

Happy new month.
This is really a tough period to be alive. Everyone is trying to hold on and stay in good health. I personally try to stay active in different ways rather than just seeing movies and sitting in one position. I started having back pain and this made me start working out. I also started learning more about photo edit and makeup. I hope you all are keeping to the rules and staying safe. Do not forget to wash your hands and do the needful.
Have anyone noticed that there have been lots of discounts flying around and femmeluxefinery is not leaving us out on this. I am going all sexy ish this summer and my list is countless.
This dress is an absolute stunner. It goes from classy to sexy. I love red dresses because of how simple it is to style. Red is such a passionate and dramatic colour, it attracts attention with very strong emotions, love and strength. Wearing red dresses gives a stimulating vibrant, and exciting look.
My red belted bodycon midi dress is from Femmeluxefinery, belted style, V neck with a bodycon fit. This dress suits both summer and winter fashion. For summer pair it with nice strappy heel sandals, styling it in winter pair with black thigh high heel boots. I love the fit on me. This luxe Red belted bodycon midi dress hugs my body so well making me feel even sexier.

Taking care of your skin is more than just not applying makeup. During this lockdown, there are lots of factors that can influence your skin appearance. I am busy during this lockdown but I try to take good care of my skin even when I decide not to bath very early in the morning since I am not going out.
My lockdown daily skincare routine.
1. No makeup all day, only when needed
Morning
- I Clean my face with wet wipes
- Wash my face and apply very little coconut oil with Nivea cream moisturizer.
- I Take my bath by noon. I apply very little coconut oil and Nivea cream moisturizer.
- At night I clean my face and apply Nivea cream moisturizer.
2. Eating good food can help your skin.
I love eating and during this lockdown, I eat in between meals but that isn't so good. It is good to eat healthily and avoid eating late at night. Simple carbohydrates like the refined sugar found in most cakes, cookies, candy, and non-diet soft drinks cause insulin levels to spike and create a wave of inflammation throughout the body. This inflammation leads to a breakdown in collagen and elastin, the fibers that give skin its elasticity and strength.

3. Stress and depression caused by restricted movement, less activeness at home, and fear.
Are you aware that stress is a big enemy of our skin because stress tells a lot about our skin? As humans, when we stress, it causes our body to produce hormones like cortisol, which signals glands in our skin to produce more oil. Oily skin is more prone to acne and other skin problems. Stress can also make skin problems worse. Just try to relax your mind and enjoy the moment, do something that makes you happy, be positive, and stay active at home. Part of my skincare routine is staying happy.
Everyone's skin is different and unique. Not every skincare product recommended by another person might work for you so it is better to study the skincare market and know what works for you before purchasing at random. I haven't struggled with my skin for long, I can't remember the last time I had a proper skin breakout. Just go with the flow but make sure your skin is dirt-free at all times. We are all home and very relaxed, but that doesn't mean we should ignore our daily skincare routine. Whether you go out or not your skin produces oil and also dirt and dust settle on your skin which can cause break out and other skin problems if you do not wash and clean your face properly.

I use a few products which include Goli nutrition supplements which I will be reviewing soon and how it has helped my skin so far. I am not all about the perfect skin, I am not freaked about having the best skin, I do my best by taking care of my skin and I try not to disturb my skin with lots of products. Some people use almost every product they read about online or see a YouTuber review. Trying out products isn't bad but not all products are going to work for your skin so I recommend that you visit a dermatologist if you are facing severe skin issues for guidance, proper medication, and product prescription to avoid making mistakes. Tho, there are products you can try on your own but make sure you read the content of any product before using it if you do not know about a particular ingredient check for it online.
Purple Blue Green Ombre Straight Human Hair Silk Base Full Lace Wig
I have never really been interested in learning how to apply makeup products like a pro and the reason is that I already know what goes with my face and so I just do very light and simple makeup which most times that turns out really great. Sometimes its gamble. My everyday makeup is the same as the makeup I will wear to an occasion if a makeup artist isn't available. I played with my makeup products and here is the outcome. The photos were edited to give a nicer glow.
Wearing the 6A 200 Density Blue Green Straight Human Hair Silk Base Full Lace Wigs With Baby Hair Ombre Body Lace Front Wavy Hair. This is one of my favourite wigs. You can dye the wig and style it in different ways. I like the way the wig sits without glue tho you can glue it if you want to wear it for a longer time.

The Handbringer by Christopher J. Penington is what you get when urban fantasy, high fantasy and historical fiction have coffee together. If you love a good adventure story this would be right up your alley. While the book boasts a combination that promises to deliver, did it really?
Peter Hadrian the dashing cop protagonist is savaged by a vampire when he takes a distress call. He wakes up in the facility and told he has been chosen for a mission, one that takes him backwards in time! He is sent to defeat the source of the vampirism outbreak by killing Dracula. It’s not that simple (as expected) and on the way love is found, friendship bonds are forged, and adventure is had.
I love the premise of this book clearly. Chris fleshed out Romania’s history and put some colour into the possibilities of the reality of Vlad. I learned about the politics of living in ancient Romanian times before it was actually Romania. It's very immersive if you've fantasized about being a strapping medieval warrior that is. It’s funny and sad to see in writing how people in the past would have reacted to such an outbreak and even a possible cure outside the realms of their knowledge. There’s a big dollop of Christianity inspired concepts in this book and it was nice.
There are a lot of aspects that go into staying healthy. When many people think about being healthy, they think about their weight, what they eat and how often they exercise. While those are good things to think about, they don’t show the whole picture of the health of an individual.
For example, an aspect of health that often goes underrated is oral health. The health of your teeth and gums can be a direct look at your overall health. Not only that, but no one wants a stained smile, unhealthy gums, or an oral disease. If you're looking to maintain good oral health, you should visit this dentist in Plantation.
Unfortunately, paying for dental-related costs out of pocket can be very costly. For example, full-mouth dental reconstruction can run $30,000 and up. As a result, having the best dental insurance is very important. But how can you go about maximizing this coverage for your benefit? Without any further ado, let’s take a close look at 5 different tips to help you get the most out of your dental insurance coverage.
Pineapple is a tropical fruit with great health benefits. Apart from the fact that they contain vitamins and serve as antioxidants here are other health benefits of pineapple.
1.Ease digestion.
They ease digestion because they contain bromelain which is a group of digestive enzymes that breaks down proteins and aids digestion for people with pancreatic insufficiency which occurs when the pancreas doesn't have enough specific enzymes to aid digestion.
2. Asthma prevention
Eating pineapple can lower your possibility of having asthmas according to studies. Fruits that have orange, dark gree, yellow colour like pineapple contain beta-carotene which is a red-orange pigment found in plants and colourful vegetables which helps retain lung strength, it is an antioxidant that protects the body from radicals.
3. Fight cancer
It prevents colon cancer, hinders the progression of cancer because it contains bromelain which modulates certain pathways that support malignant cancers.
4. Reduction of blood pressure.
5. Improve fertility.
6. Great for the health. Fibre, vitamins and potassium are good for the heart.
It is said that around 15% of the workforce have a non-traditional sleep routine due to working in abnormal work hours such as rotating shifts or anytime out of the normal 9-5. It is a challenging way to live and can make you constantly feel like a slug wading through your work duties.
This is simply because your mind is constantly sending your body signs that it should be preparing to sleep throughout the night whilst you are trying to keep it together to complete your job.
The interesting phenomenon is even though you might get enough sleep during the day, you will still feel drowsy. This is because you are working against the natural circadian process that our ancestors for thousands of years have ingrained into our DNA.

But videoconferencing isn’t always easy. The kids climb on you, the dog barks, there’s background noise … you get the idea. I’ve had some embarrassing moments and made plenty of mistakes, but I’ve learned a few things along the way. Here are my tips for successful videoconferencing from home. (Got more tips? Mention @gsuite on Twitter.)
Tip #1: Choose the right environment
When I want to talk through a complex issue or brainstorm ideas, video calls are more efficient than chat or email. They also help me get to know teammates in different time zones. But when you're on a call, give some thought to what’s around you, such as the backdrop (choose a plain wall, and avoid windows that will provide too much backlight), and if you have a laptop, put it somewhere steady. I once did an entire video call with my laptop on my … well, lap—and at the end, the other participant told me that the subtle wobbling of the screen was extremely distracting.
