The Easy Time-Management Trick I Use to Stay on Top of My Work and Self-Care Routine

Image
Whether you're juggling your job duties and family ones (in the same space) or just working from home solo for the first time , it's going to be an adjustment. Trust me, I feel you. When I first starting working from home as a freelancer, I found time management to be one of the most challenging aspects to master, from the pressure from "just one more email" to the siren song of a nearby couch and TV. However, in addition to my actual job (which I've done remotely for a while now), I've also appointed myself unofficial spokesperson for the Pomodoro Technique . Named after the creator's tomato-shaped timer, its premise is fairly simple: you block out 25-minute chunks of work time with four five-minute breaks in between each before a longer 15-minute break. I personally use it to set goals to write, edit, or research for 25 minutes straight (and repeat as needed), but it can be adjusted for many different professions (or even nonwork tasks like cleaning).

Jennifer Garner Takes on the Push-Up Challenge In Icy Blue and Neon Orange Nikes

Image
Throughout current quarantines and self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic, stars and fans alike are turning to social media for a growing craze of challenges. These challenges range from doing a certain amount of push-ups to recording yourself washing your hands. Being the superstar that she is, Jennifer Garner decided to take on all these trials at once. Wearing a chic mom look that included jeans and a laid-back T-shirt, the “13 Going on 30” star prepared for her 10 push-ups in her kitchen. She made the ensemble workout-ready in a set of white athletic sneakers with a colorful icy blue and orange sole. The lace-up style resembles Nike ’s Joyride Run Flyknit running shoes, a breathable pair with tiny foam beads in the cushioning for ultimate support. While the style typically retails for $180, a similar colorway to Garner’s pick is currently on sale at Dick’s Sporting Goods for $130. View this post on Instagram Pushups for @glennondoyle

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bumble and bumble. (@bumbleandbumble) on Mar 24, 2020 at 5:32pm PDT Many brands in the beauty industry are doing their part to help fight COVID-19, from hair care, skin care, and makeup brands giving back by donating proceeds, products, and even meals to those in need, to companies like LVMH (the parent company of Fenty Beauty and Benefit Cosmetics) utilizing their factories to make hand sanitizer for hospitals. Joining the growing list is bestselling hair brand Bumble and Bumble, which announced on March 25 that it will be reopening one of its factories to manufacture hand sanitizer - an item that has become scarce due to a sudden increase in demand. The factory participating in the coronavirus relief effort is located in Melville, NY, and the hand sanitizers made will go to high-need groups, including medical staff on the front lines fighting the virus.

Halle Berry’s 6-Year-Old Son Masters Walking In Heels Better Than All of Us

Image
Los Angeles’ stay-at-home order during the city’s coronavirus safety initiatives leaves plenty of time to get started on spring cleaning or rummaging through your closets. Halle Berry caught on to this idea and broke out stylish boots — but she wasn’t the one trying them on. On the 12th day of her home quarantine, the “Catwoman” star shared a video of her 6-year-old son Maceo Martinez mastering the art of walking in heels. Maceo, whom she shares with her ex-husband and French actor Olivier Martinez, tucked the pants of his plaid blue pajamas set into his mom’s sleek white heeled-boots. The mid-calf pair includes an elongated pointed toe and a thin stiletto heel. He then not only walks with easy, but he also manages to walk smoothly up the stairs in the teetering pair, a feat that even experienced heel lovers still have to be conscious about.
