As the world turns, we must keep styling and profiling - no matter where we are working. The first three months of 2020 have been trying. But like the lit black women we are, we will continue to believe that greater is coming, and we will make it through. We always do. I mean, our ancestors conquered worse.

Many of us have been encouraged or forced to work from home. No matter the circumstance, it's a privilege. It may seem like it's the perfect time to chill and relax, but it is essential to continue to be productive. When working from home, some things to keep in mind include:

  • Keep a consistent routine.
  • Time management is important.
  • Schedule breaks.
  • Listen to your body.
  • Stay positive.
  • To-do lists are your best friend.
  • When using Zoom to video conference, try out the "Touch Up My Appearance" filter.

Most of all, we want to differentiate what we wear to work and what we wear to bed because it helps our brain understand when to be productive and when to lounge.
