Staying sane in the midst of chaos

October 20, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , 5 Comments

This year has been a rollercoaster for all of us. It has been up and down pretty much from January and the chaos is just getting louder and louder. Many people are struggling and I can literally feel the tension in the air. It is important to stay on top of our mental and physical health. This is not the time to bury our heads in the sand. Staying sane in the midst of chaos takes a lot of willpower and determination. You have to be ready to fight for your peace or else everyone else will drag you into their drama.

Staying sane in the midst of chaos

Here are some ways to help you stay sane in the midst of the madness going on –

Limit your time on social media

I have to spend some time on social media because of my job but these days, I limit the time I spend on the platforms. Social media is a huge drain right now, especially Twitter. There are all sorts of things going on at the same time all over the world. It is exhausting to be online nowadays.

Switch off the news

I don’t watch the news and haven’t done so for years. If you watch the news and you find that you are struggling, I would say you should take some days off and see how you feel. I usually pick up important info on social media and that is good enough for me.

Listen to soothing music

Music is like food to my soul. I am forever listening to my Spotify playlists. My current favourite tracks are Enya’s. I love her voice and style so much.

Workout

I start my day with a good 30-minute workout session. It prepares me for the day ahead and keeps me feeling great.  I would be lost without my workout sessions.

Do something for you every day

With everything going, it is super easy to put ourselves last and be busy worrying about everything and everyone. It is important to do something nice for yourself on a daily basis. It could be something as small as reading a book, watching a nice movie, going for a long walk, or as big as buying that new handbag you have had your eyes on for months now. The choice is yours. It doesn’t matter what it is, the important thing is that it is something that feels like a treat.

Hey fashion and style lovers! The style icon for this month is the beautiful Gbemi Anthonia Adefuye, known professionally as Toni Tones. For those who do not know, this stylish young lady is a Nigerian media personality, actress, and photographer. She has been on my radar for some time now and she is one of the few Nollywood actresses that I really like. I started paying attention to her after seeing her in King of Boys. Her acting was so impressive and the movie was so good. Since then, I have been a huge fan. I love her movies and her Instagram page keeps me very busy. It is filled with funny skits. This young woman is a bundle of talent.

Toni Tones’ style game is just out of this world. She knows what looks good on her and she slays it every time. I love her sense of fashion a lot! She is known for breaking necks whenever she steps on the red carpet. Her everyday look is also always on point.

If I was asked to describe Toni Tones’ personal style, I would call it chic, timeless, and very “Toni”. I love that she sticks to her own personal style. This style icon does not follow trends, she creates them and she makes it look so easy. She also has an amazing body and so everything she wears looks fantastic.

If you are on the hunt for creative ways to style your outfits, you should check Tones out. Her looks always inspire me and I am sure you will find them inspiring too!

Beauty Muse: Cardi B

Cardi B is the beauty muse of the month. This successful singer/rapper is slaying not just music and fashion, but beauty as well. Her skin is so flawless and her makeup is always so perfect. I am not a huge fan of her social media platforms or her music, but I do admire her as a beauty muse. Cardi B is beauty goals all day, every day.

Many may find Cardi B a little too much in everything. Her makeup is sometimes a lot and she does look like a handful. But I think she is a natural beauty. I have seen many photos and videos of her with little or no makeup, and she looks even more beautiful. I would love to be a fly on her wall to check out her daily skincare routine. It won’t surprise if it was nothing outside the ordinary. She is one of those beauties that is just blessed in the beauty department.

Here are some bits of Cardi B’s skincare routine as told by her makeup artist – Erika:

To start with, I gently wash Cardi’s face and then thoroughly dry her skin with a light towel. I always use a gentle cleanser like a Hydrating Gel Cleanser instead of a harsh exfoliant before makeup application. Once the skin is prepped properly, I start applying the makeup.

Drying the face lightly with a soft towel is really important. You don’t want to be too hard on your face. Also, using a good cleanser is really important. I have fallen in love with this new natural face cleanser, and my skin is thanking me for it. It is important to pay attention to the skincare products you use.
