Who doesn’t want that natural glow? Let’s start with your skin. How about enjoying a brief facial massage while drinking coffee in the morning or watching Netflix? And if you’re feeling fancy, raid your kitchen for a quick face mask. Small amount of honey or some yogurt works wonders. Yes, you can try, trust me, your skin will thank you! And you can also grab a water bottle – adding a slice of lemon makes it feel refreshing while helping your skin stay hydrated.

You know the one – maybe it’s your guilty pleasure from the 2000s? Dance as if no one is looking (or as if your colleagues are hidden from view by the Zoom camera).

I can see how it may feel like there are not enough hours in a day to eat properly and fuel your body. But with my rescue smoothie recipe, you only need five minutes! Start by putting some protein powder, frozen berries, spinach (no, you probably won’t taste it), and a little almond milk in the blender. And boom! You have a balanced breakfast without any extra hassle. If you do not have five minutes to spare, try keeping some emergency snacks nearby as those try toady days often feel like they run on a squeeze of goals being achieved.
