Simplifying My Lockdown Life By Shaving My Head!

One of the many actions I took during 2020 lockdown to simplify my life was shaving my head. The idea of not being able to get to see my lovely hair stylist at her salon, was just too big a headache to contend with. So like many others I invested in a set of hair clippers and took matters into my own hands! A small thing perhaps, in the whole scheme of things, but a little more significant than I anticipated.

Shaving your head is not always the most flattering look; I felt quite exposed and stripped back and sort of trusted my finger tips to let me know if I’d missed a bit at the back! I looked very different in my own eyes, and the person looking back at me in the mirror looked a little familiar, but someone I needed to get to know better.

Simplifying lockdown life – how do I shave my head at home myself?

I’m starting to really love this new person. Turns out I had quite a few layers that needed pruning and the hair thing was a way to open myself up to the pruning process. It’s been good.

Now I feel this isn’t a ‘lockdown’ habit, it’s just me, Tessa, out there in all my #buzzcut glory! It’s interesting how we change over the years, and how an outer change can pave the way for inner change whether we intend it or not.

So thank you lockdown living in 2020, for gifting me with the courage and opportunity to make this change.

What changes have you made to accommodate lockdown living in 2020, that have become good and ‘normal’ for you now?

Wow 12 Weeks Of LOCKDOWN.. Time For A Change!

Like many of the 1.5 million people in the UK who got a letter on the 23 March 2020 with a request to self-isolate for 12 weeks due to COVID-19, outside of working the day job remotely, I have been keeping myself occupied at home. On this video I share what drives me to continue to build and have fun with my home business. In my humble opinion, during this remarkably unique time, that some refer to as ‘The Great Reset’, it is a perfect time to start a side business for yourself, and build it by leveraging Social Media ‘correctly’, and fitting it in around your existing commitments.
