Self-Care and Immunity on Lockdown

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]or beauty lovers internationally.

On lockdown and in the confines of our own homes, our most-loved beauty and self-care secrets have been compromised and our go-to pick-me-ups are, for now, out the window. Across all nations, people are experiencing sickness and so right now, the notion of beauty may be of a lower priority than usual.

Sure, I knew in theory that it was supposed to make you feel better, look better, blah blah blah. But hating exercise became a part of my personality so deeply ingrained that it was almost a reflex to wince at the thought.

Why Telling Your Story Matters

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]oday is World Storytelling Day. A day that is marked across the globe by people from different cultures, speaking different languages, as they tell each other the stories that matter to them.

Think of it as a global campfire that happens every March equinox.

To me, these personal stories have always been the best kind of tales. Growing up, my Mum would tell me about the places that connected me to my roots; the fauna of Antigua, the people of Liverpool. I used to walk around in an imaginary world, fuelled by the oral stories of my family, often passed down through generations.
