Glam Africa: The Lockdown Edition (2020)

5. BE
POSITIVE
Staying
at home does
not have to mean being
socially disconnected. Keep
in touch with friends and family
via phone calls, text messages and
social media. If you’re in a position to
do so, try and be of service, lend a
well-sanitised hand to those in need
(but from a distance). Get creative
and take advantage of the
opportunities technology
has to offer.
4. STAY
CONNECTED
Remember
to stay positive,
cut yourself some slack
and don’t beat yourself
up when things aren’t going
perfectly in your home. Try to
reflect on more important things,
and if that starts to get difficult,
come back to this page and
read again from
number 1.
Staying
home all day with
NO exercise could have
you feeling weak and inert.
Keeping active is a great way to
stay healthy (physically and mentally)
while killing some time too. You can even
work out virtually with friends via apps
like Houseparty and FaceTime (this could
motivate you even more to stick to your
chosen regimen). Not a huge fan of
workouts? Try dance fitness or
another alternative, as long
as it keeps you
moving.
You
finally have the
time to give yourself
some much-needed selfcare,
so what’s your excuse
this time? Treat yourself to an
in-house spa day, mani-pedis or
even prepare yourself a warm
bubble bath. You deserve
some TLC, and who better
to give it to you than
you?
3. TREAT
YOURSELF
