What you put on your skin influences how you feel
Getting dressed in the morning would be a vital way to fuel our drive for the remainder of the way our day will go.

Maintaining regularity is crucial since we don’t make sure how long isolation would continue. When choosing which clothes to wear and how to do makeup, start exploring: How do you actually feel? Is it relaxed outside, or do you feel a desire to be productive?
