Spain Self-Care & Staying Stylish
Friday, 03 April 2020
Working from or relaxing at home would have felt like a treat just a few months ago but with the world in turmoil and bad news wherever we look, it can feel like a caged reminder of our battle against COVID-19. But we have to make the most of this time and continue to nurture our brain and body whilst at home.

When you're not online shopping, it's important to practise self-care. And self-care isn’t just bubble baths and face masks - it’s about looking after yourself mentally and physically so you can be the best version of yourself. With strict governmental guidelines about staying home, it can be hard to feel like you’ve got any room to spread your wings and grow so here are three ways you can practice self-care from home
Start a new workout schedule
In this golden age of the internet, there is every type of workout video for every need. Find a YouTuber or online PT you feel aligns with your skill set & goals and set yourself a new challenge.
Keep yourself mentally engaged.
Keep yourself mentally engaged.
We all need some time to lounge in front of the television and watch Netflix but you’ve got to keep yourself mentally engaged as well as entertained. You could pick up a new video game, learn a new skill through YouTube or even teach yourself a language through an app like duolingo.
Eat nutritiously.
Eat nutritiously.
If you look after your body, your mind will follow. We’re all a little less active than we were a month ago so your body will thank you if you plan a variety of meals and ensure what you put into your body is going to fuel you.
You can also keep yourself engaged with a fresh new read. If you’re looking for a new book to start and want to keep up to date with the latest fashion news or brush up on the history of your favourite brands and icons then we recommend delving deep into the following books.
In this unprecedented moment in time it can be hard to find the good amongst the bad so take this time to spread some love and joy wherever you can; help an elderly neighbour with their shopping, surprise your parent with a video call or make sure what you put into the world - virtual or real - is positive. We all need it.
