CORONA VIRUS: LOCK DOWN IN THE DUBAI

Many of us moved into the year 2020 with lots of enthusiasm and excitement. Along the way, corona virus came visiting. With plans shattered, life turned up side down, routines disrupted and the normal way of life as we know abruptly altered; all we can pray for is for this pandemic to get resolved.

The first call to action in curbing the spread of the infection is isolation or quarantine. A new term- social distancing is now the main deal. Countries the world over went into partial or total lockdown. The UAE, where I live in went into partial lockdown. At first, the severity of the situation didn't hit home for me until Dubai went into full lockdown. With movement restricted except shopping for grocery and medicine only for limited time with Police permit.

Staying indoors hasn't been a palatable experience. I'm an ambivert so I do well staying indoors or outdoor which ever way I find myself. But the extended stay indoors with no where to go can be a bit tough and all I can do is eat, sleep, cook, YouTube and listen to music. The mental toll is on a whole different level and i'm praying this pandemic blows off soon.

Dr Rashel: Have You Tried This Amazing Skin Care Brand?

I discovered this brand a year ago after a friend referred me to it and since then I have been using their products. Dr Rashel is a Dubai based organic skincare brand. Their products are quite similar to The Ordinary. They are super affordable, well packed and very effective. I bought the Vitamin C Skincare Series which comes in a set of 5. The products contain Niacinamide, Vitamin c and Hyaluronic acid. The 5 set includes a cleansing milk, toner, face cream, face serum and face cleanser.  I like the design of their products because they come in portable sizes and elegant packaging.  My skin has improved so much since I've been using this brand consistently. The set is suitable for wrinkles, hydration, repair, cleansing and moisturising. So i would recommend this brand.
