How To Stay Motivated During Quarantine Lockdown

Being a quarantined creative, like most everyone in this country if not the world, I’m working from home and fighting to stay inspired amidst so much uncertainty. In an effort to keep my energy up, I thought of some ways to stay motivated while on indefinite lockdown and at the request of my girl DJ RootsQueen, I’m sharing with you. After reading, let me know some ways you guys are keeping your spirits high and the creativity flowing.

Write down your top goals or motivational quotes on sticky notes and place them on your bathroom mirror. You’ll be able to see these messages first thing in the morning and also before going to bed at night.

Listen to podcasts. I’ve been tuning in more, especially while I’m cooking meals or cleaning the house. Some of my personal favorites are The Secrets to Success, How I Built This, the Gary Vee Audio Experience, The Business of Hype and ANY Nipsey Hussle interview.

Read an inspiring book and take notes. I keep a notebook beside me as I read to capture quotes or ideas that resonate with me. I refer back to these notes often when I need a quick mental fix to get my thoughts going in a better direction.

Consume IG content from pages that put you in a positive mental headspace whether that’s in travel, fashion, real estate, a spiritual leader or self-care guru.

Understand that this pause in life will eventually be over, so keep in mind where you’d like to be once outside opens back up. Love + wellness to you all.

The Truth About Flat Tummy Tea

beauty, Dj RootsQueen, flat tummy tea, health

We have all seen the posts on Instagram and Facebook hash tagging the infamous #FlatTummyTea by celebrities such as Cardi B and wanna be influencers alike. But what is Flat Tummy Tea? And how does it work?

A few weeks ago, my curiosity got the best of me and I ordered a 2 week supply of Flat Tummy Tea. It was easy to purchase through PayPal, but only available online, which is a negative, because the ease of finding and buying a product is something consumers look for. My package arrived within a few days, and it came with a cute pouch to store my bags of tea in. The bag contained a card that had a message asking me to hold it up and take a picture and post it on my Instagram with certain hash tags. Being a person with 17,000 followers just on that site alone, I decided against that without an endorsement check.
One bag of tea was bigger than the other, labeled “Activate”. The main ingredient was dandelion root (which I notated). The second bag, “Cleanse”, was somewhat smaller, and the main ingredient was senna root, which I also notated. The tea was high quality, but was loose tea and required purchasing a tea strainer to be able to brew correctly, which is kind of annoying. But the tea actually worked and I got amazing results. However, after some research at my local market, I quickly discovered that Traditional Medicinals makes a “Smooth Move” tea that’s main ingredient is senna root. Smooth Move tea cost me about $9.00 and I had a choice to buy tea bags or Keurig cups (which I decided on).

That just makes more sense than to spend $36.00 on Flat Tummy Tea. Traditional Medicinals also makes a detox tea containing dandelion root, for even less than the Smooth Move tea. And it’s certified organic. The numbers don’t lie. For less money, you can get the same exact product with the same exact results at your local grocery store! Stay tuned for my next experiment with Dirty Lemon vs homemade black lemonade and hash tag that!
