Third Act Of Kindness | View Of Josiah's Bay, Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Tortola British Virgin Islands

On Monday April 27, 2020, in the British Virgin Islands, the 24 hours curfew was relaxed to a soft curfew from 1 pm to 6 am.  So I woke up early in the morning and headed out for an early morning walk.  I have not gone out walking for a long time.  It is long over due. 

In this episode of my 20 Acts Of Kindness, I share my third Act Of Kindness.  This act of kindness was not from me but TO me.  My story goes like this.  On one of my other YouTube channels, I was short of ideas for video content.  On that channel I like to go around the island and get related video footage.  But on account of the 24 hours curfew, I was unable to go anywhere.  I saw a drone footage on Facebook and thought I would reach out to the person who uploaded the video and ask if he can do one for me and what was the cost etc.  

After receiving the necessary information, I told the young man I would get back to him.  I decided with the current going ons in the world right now, this expense would fall in the category of an luxury expense and it should be put on the back burner for the while.  

The day prior to my recording the video below, the young man contacted me via Facebook messenger and informed me that he had the opportunity to get some footage and he did some for me FREE of charge!!  I was so surprised and happy!!!  He said that he is aware of the economic situation of the community right now and decided to do the free footage for me.  I am so grateful for this gesture.

During my walk, I took the opportunity to show you some views from the area I walked - Josiah's Bay, Atlantic Ocean and a view of the Caribbean sea.  By the time I returned to my car, my small toe on my left foot was bruised.  The mistake I made was not putting on a pair of socks before putting on my shoes.  This would not happen again.

5 Beauty Tips For While You At Home 😷COVID-19 Quarantine Period

In this blog post I share with you some simple beauty tips that you can apply while at home during this COVID-19 quarantine period.

Protect Your Hair

I have not combed my natural hair for quite a few days and I realized that I need to comb my hair into a protective style of some sort. Currently my hair is in small Bantu knots. First I separated my hair into small sections and twist each section. Then I wrapped each twist into a Bantu knot.

If your hair is natural or not, comb your hair in a protective style. If your hair is relaxed and you have not been able to go to your hair dresser because of being in quarantine, its possible you may have new hair growth.

Be gentle in combing your hair. With the new growth and the ends still being straight, you may experience hair breakage while combing your hair. Comb your hair in a protective style until you get the opportunity to go to your hair dresser.

Prevent Your Ear Piercing From Being Clogged

Being at home for days upon days and not going any where, I have not been putting any earrings into my ear piercing. I recently started putting a pair of earring into my piercing to present them from clogging up. Read this blog post for more on this topic

At Home Foot Care

I normally get a pedicure every month but in the interim of my next professional pedicure, I have been using my favorite foot file - Bittny Foot File with a round wood handle, to scrub my heels and keep them smooth and remove the dead cells that have been building up.

Cleanse Your Face

Use the opportunity to cleanse your face, as you may not be applying make up every day as you normally would if you were going to work. Use your favorite cleanser and clean your face, allow your pores to breath. If you don't have any face cleanser, I am hoping that you have some baking soda in your pantry. Mix a small amount of the baking soda and olive oil together and apply to your face. Trust me, you will feel so good by just apply this mixture to your face. Your face will thank you for it. Leave the mixture on your face for about 15-25 minutes then wash your face.

Monitor Your Acrylic Nails For Any Fungus

As we are washing our hands more often than usual, if you have acrylic nails and they are beginning to grow, the acrylic will eventually raise up and water will get under the acrylic. Fungus may eventually develop on the nail bed, The nail bed will look green and may begin to hurt. You may have to cut down the nails and remove the acrylic. Treat the nails with some olive oil by massaging the olive oil on the nails until you have the opportunity to get your nails redone. Read my blog post in which I share my experience.

Please note if you do develop a fungus on your nails, your nail technician may not apply any acrylic to the nails until they are healed.
