How To Stay Strong and Stay Beautiful In This Pandemic

With the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country and the end of the quarantine seems to be nowhere in sight, we need all the help and advice we can get to stay strong as we journey in this crisis and stay beautiful because frankly, this pandemic has caused us so much stress; stress = a bunch of health and skin problems!

Just sharing some quick tips on how you can stay strong and stay beautiful in this pandemic!

1. STAY AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

- Social media can be very toxic especially now that all emotions are high due to the pandemic; bickering here and there plus lots of negative news abound in social media nowadays and it's challenging my mental health sometimes. So I make it a point to stay away from social media for at least 2-3 hours per day and devote my time to either watching Netflix, playing games, chatting with my husband or mom-in-law, creating content, or doing extra work for my business. I do anything to prevent me from checking my social media accounts and it has really helped me emotionally and mentally!

2. STAY HOPEFUL

- Positivity is important, but it can get toxic at times because it borders to gaslighting. Instead, I say stay hopeful: embrace your fears, sadness, worries, and anxieties for you are alive and human so it's natural for you to feel these things, but in the midst of all these gloomy feelings, always find hope to help you get through this time.

3. STAY VIGILANT AND INFORMED

- Information and knowledge are indeed power. Stay informed on what's happening in your local vicinity. Read and spread news from credible and legitimate sources only. Stay updated on the status of Coronavirus cases in your country. Most of all, always keep your leaders accountable and speak up. There is strength in numbers. When you are equipped with proper information and when you unite with people under one cause, you are empowered.

4. STAY HEALTHY

- Health is the greatest asset of all time so take care of it especially nowadays that the threat of the virus is very much alive.

Always drink your vitamins. I personally love Conzace because it has Vitamin C, A, and Zinc; A and Zinc are great for immunity and A is great for the skin. I also use Fern-C from time to time; I personally prefer Sodium Ascorbate because I have an acidic stomach and this is mild for me. Immunopro is also one of supplements I take because it is recommended by our physician and it has Vitamin C + Zinc.

5. STAY PROTECTED

- In order to stay healthy, you have to stay protected. Always bring your face shields, face masks, alcohol, wet wipes, and pocket soap/hand wash before going out. I personally use surgical masks most of the time, especially if I will go out and stay primarily outdoors because it's very breathable and cooler for me and a cloth mask if I will go out and stay indoors; helps me minimize the trash I generate too.

I always keep an atomizer bottle of my favorite alcohol brand: either Hygienix, Biogenic, or Green Cross (original green bottle). For wet wipes, I love Sanicare because their sheets are strong and they have antibacterial variants. Finally, for hand soap, I just refill a travel bottle with my favorite BOGO Watsons liquid hand soaps!

For my favorite health care and hygiene brands, you can all get them from Watsons. They're now open in select locations and SM department stores or you can shop these essentials right at the comfort of your  own home through THIS LINK. You can also either pick- up or have your items delivered through Watsons Call and Pick-Up or Call and Delivery service. How convenient!

So those are my top 5 tips on how you can stay strong and stay beautiful in this pandemic. Let's all pray that this will be over soon!
