Relaxation Ideas for Post Lock-down

December 13, 2020

Relaxation Ideas for Post Lock-down 1

““We are forever running away from something and toward something – and because everyone is behaving in this manner, we accept it as normal.

 

We think we’re always in control and then when a pandemic hits, we’re hit with the illusion that we’re no longer in control.”

The coronavirus has been a surreal experience, with its rapid spread putting the world in a state of panic. Shops were empty, and we were stuck in our homes.

The world took a 180-degree turn, and so did lifestyles and decisions. People in protective clothing became superheroes fighting for our lives (just what would we have done without them?). We are all doing our best to cope but are still yearning for things to go back to normal.

With the number of active Australia cases reducing from 28,011 to 1,438, measures have been put in place to safely ease tight restrictions.

Following the guidelines, we can now mask up and go out. It is time to pamper yourself and get your relaxation on, and here are a few ways to do so!

 

 

 

 

 

A long-awaited Salon Visit

With split ends, failed DIY haircuts and dye jobs, it’s safe to say many people were looking a little unkempt during the lockdown. Fortunately, you can now reunite with your hairdressers to work their magic.

Lockdown skin has also been getting the best of us due to breakouts from stress and not getting enough sunlight to feed the skin. It’s time for some skin rejuvenation in a beauty salon with quality treatments your skin might need.

 

Coffee Anyone?

The café might just be the best spot to relax. Cafes are an ideal spot to meet a friend and have a chat over a cup of coffee, and you could also play board games or card games for a more fun time.

Its casual and serene setting is also the best place to read your favorite novels, magazines, or newspapers. Sipping on a good old caffe latte is perfect for calming the body and mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visit Your Local Beach

Nothing spells relaxation than watching the sun rise or set and listening to the tides at a beach; this is nature’s therapy.

Walking on the seashore to meditate and clear your mind or collecting beautiful seashells serves as a healing activity. But that’s not all there is to it; you can lay a mat and have some snacks with friends or have a dip in the water.

Camping

Looking for a good campsite to park your caravan or set up your tent is a great way to relish the outdoors.

Camping allows you to see mountains, forests, rivers, or lakes, depending on where you are situated. Being outdoors at night also allows you to see stars and constellations that you might not see at home.

It is an excellent way to have a digital detox and listen to nature’s sounds; birds tweeting, crickets chirping, and frogs croaking. You can have hearty conversations around the campfire with loved ones while munching on some roasted marshmallows.

These are four great ways in which you can spend some quality time to relax and recharge.

Don’t forget to wear your masks and follow all the social distance requirements and government guidelines.

This product has replaced my rosehip oil in my nig This product has replaced my rosehip oil in my nightly routine. I absolutely love it!! It’s like a super charged oil serum that is so rich & luxurious to apply. A small amount goes a long way. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone who is looking for an ‘all in one’ nightly serum. It's a game changer ❤️ @thinlizzybeauty #tlsquad #newobsession #skincareblogger #skincarejunkie #skincareessentials #skincareroutine #thinlizzy #gifted #prgifted
#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.  It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love.  And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me.
