(sound on 😊) What are you focusing your time on (sound on 😊) What are you focusing your time on right now? Are you mostly low key and hanging out or working proactively and efficiently? ⁣ ⁣ I think I finally found a healthy balance between the two. I signed up for four free IVY League courses online (linked over 450 of them in my stories so check it out). I’m learning about Negotiation, Islam & Judaism through Scriptures, and Sustainable Development. I allocate an hour to each one so it almost feels like I’m back in College again. Except this time I’m learning exactly what I want and at my own pace 😅⁣ ⁣ I’ve also been working out, reading, watching Netflix and spending an excessive amount of time FaceTiming with my friends all over the world. To be honest - zero complaints. How about you?⁣ ⁣ P.S Hope you all support ya girl as there will be an inevitable (temporary) shift in content but, as always, supplemented with insightful captions by yours truly 😊 time to innovate and test out new waters. For most of us in the creative space, the trajectory of our work is going to change and we heavily rely on your engagement to stay afloat.

Hii 👋🏼 tell me, where in the world are you n Hii 👋🏼 tell me, where in the world are you now? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ From all the times I’ve been to Italy, this is by far one of my favorite shots. We were celebrating love during this warm sunset in September 🥰. Everything was perfect. Italy is a spectacular country - it ticks off all the boxes in my book: welcoming people, jaw dropping landscapes, delicious food, fantastic wine (just to name a few).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Man, I have to say I am so amazed and proud of humanity - life really has its ways of bringing all of us together. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Japan made a donation of medical supplies to Wuhan and on the boxes they wrote (rough translation): “We might have different mountains and rivers but we share the same sun, moon and sky. We stand with you.” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Got me in all the feels ❤️⁣ ⁣ This video takes place in Castello di Celsa in Tuscany, Italy. The wedding day of @ofleatherandlace shot by @jerometraveller! 🇮🇹🙏🏼

YOU ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO GETTING SICK. Alrighty YOU ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO GETTING SICK. Alrighty - let’s do this.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you are constantly looking at your phone and taking in headlines, posts, sickness/death statics and commentary about #Coronavirus - you are subconsciously putting an enormous amount of stress on your body. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Stress is your body’s response to an actual or perceived threat. Too much stress can suppress your immune system and cause you to get sick more easily. Psychological stress prevents the body from properly regulating the inflammatory response and inflammation has been linked to the development and progression of many diseases. People who are exposed to long periods of stress are more likely to develop things such as colds, stomach issues, headaches … and most likely COVID-19. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ First things first: take a step back and recognize that you are responsible for the fuel you give to your body ⛽️. Let’s say you can give yourself 87 or 93 - in this case, both are free. Would you still fuel up with 87? Why keep engaging in fear-inducing conversations? Reading mediocre news sources? Mute as much as you can (or take a step back from social media in general) and use @cdcgov & @who as your primary articles of information. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ By no means am I downplaying the severity of everything that is happening. Your concerns are valid but panic can be evaded. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Every community is unique so there is no one-strategy-fits-all, but facts are still facts so let’s ease our minds. Do your part by familiarizing yourselves with CDC and WHO recommendations. I am not going to tell you the importance of washing your hands and not touching your eyes/nose/mouth. And that, for the majority of people the immediate risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to be low.⁣ ⁣⁣ If you read this far and if you take anything out of this post, it should be this: familiarize yourself with CDC and WHO; you will quickly learn exactly what you can do to be safe (ie. you dont need to steal masks from hospitals and stock up on sanitizer). Mute as much external noise as you can. Stop marinating in it and stop feeding it to others. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Take a break. ⁣⁣

There are very few cities in the world that I can There are very few cities in the world that I can see myself living in apart from New York. London is definitely one of them (Dubai, too in case you’re wondering 😌). Where can you see yourself living (lets say money & visas are not an issue)?⁣ ⁣ Back at the start of the 20th century there were many different companies that owned buses which operated in London. Competition was heavy. One company figured out a way to stand out: they painted their entire fleet red and placed numbers on the front of the bus to indicate the route the bus would be taking. Soon after, all of the buses were bought out by London Transport - they were all painted the same shade of red and the numbering system became the standard. A simple yet groundbreaking concept. ⁣ Speaking of colors, the shade of red is called Pantone 485 C red - if it looks familiar it’s because it is the same color used by McDonald’s, KitKat, London Underground, and the Royal Mail 📮🤓 . . . @ofleatherandlace 📸
