[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]W[/eltd_dropcaps]e’ve all heard the saying “friends are the family that you get to choose for yourself”, and never a truer word has been spoken. Friends are so important at any point in our lives, so it’s not surprising there is an international day dedicated to celebrating our friendships.  

World Friendship Day, celebrated on 30th July, is a national day which allows us to celebrate our friends and share how grateful we are to have them. If you’re guilty of not actively showing much appreciation or gratitude to those who have stuck by you through thick and thin, this upcoming national day could be a great one for you to pencil in!

‘Change’ is normally viewed as a bad thing that many of us don’t want to face or accept. However, this nation-wide isolation is the perfect opportunity to take control and make positive changes to all our lives, during these uncertain times. 

Book Club

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]A[/eltd_dropcaps]s lockdown continues, the boredom grows and I personally, feel like I am lacking the motivation to want to learn new skills or get things done. However, I feel like this quarantine period is a perfect time to pick up reading. Whether you finish a whole book in 2 days or just read a chapter each night before bed, reading can help stimulate your brain. I have always loved reading as I feel like it is an escape, especially from these uncertain, scary times as it helps your imagination run freely.  

Here are a few books I have read over isolation which I would highly recommend: 

A Guide to a Home Manicure

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]or many women, not having their nails done is something out of the question. They either have to go to the nail salon to get their nails done professionally or paint their nails by themselves, one way or another they have to be done! However, you can achieve the same look from the comfort of your own home.

You don’t necessarily have to go to a nail technician in order to have gel nails.

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]’m sure this lockdown period is bringing out the Marie Kondo in all of us – reorganising your skincare shelf is probably one of the first things you sorted through to pass the time. Today’s post will touch on reorganising but in a more practical way, which is going to benefit you in the long term as opposed to just wavering some minutes by. Hopefully, this will further encourage you to keep-up such habits once this time has surpassed. 

Pampering and Self-Care in Lockdown

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]E[/eltd_dropcaps]very day is starting to feel the same, right?  Why not take this time to look after ourselves; It’s a break from life, something that many of us will never get again. 

Let’s switch our mindsets from feeling fed up to appreciating this time, learning to be grateful for our safety and our health. I know it’s a challenging time, but seeing the positives will change your mindset for the day. Without our hairdressers or beauticians, we are all starting to feel the withdrawal symptoms… But hang on in there! Don’t get out the box dye or the wax strips, instead, let’s embrace these roots and fluffy brows! Some self-love and acceptance is something you usually might not get the time for.
