Tip #4: Journal Journal Journal. Keep track of what you're eating, when you're eating it, and how you feel each day. This will help you stay accountable to yourself, and you may start to see the connection between what you eat and how you feel.

🦠📲Germs and bacteria can live on hard surfaces – like your cell phone! – for days.
☠ Just think of all the places your cellphone travels … and the surfaces it has touched. Euuw, right? 🚽
💥In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, there are some actions you can take to protect yourself (and your devices!).
🙀First: Avoid putting your phone near your face. Use the speaker whenever possible.
💦Second: Disinfect your phone DAILY. Check with your phone’s manufacturer, but Apple says its safe to use Clorox disinfecting wipes on its phones.
🚫Other common cleaners (like alcohol, vinegar, window cleaning spray, or anything abrasive) can damage your phone so it’s important to double-check.

Here’s a link for more cleaners to use or avoid: www.cnet.com/how-to/coronavirus-and-your-phone-how-to-effectively-clean-and-disinfect-your-device/

💡Note: these actions are important even when there’s not a global health threat, since studies show most cell phones are laden with bacteria.

DIY HAND SANITIZER
👐If you’re stuck somewhere and can’t wash your hands, using hand sanitizer is the next best thing.
😷But what if you don’t have any sanitizer – and/or your local store has sold out?
💡No problem! Make your own! It’s very simple.
💯TIP: The CDC recommends using a sanitizer that’s at least 60% alcohol. This recipe meets that requirement.
Mix together:
⅓ cup aloe vera gel
⅔ cup isopropyl rubbing alcohol
(optional) 2-3 drops organic, all-natural essential oil
Mix all the ingredients up in a bowl and pour into a clean container (like a bottle with a secure top. Optional: use a bottle with a spray attachment.)
✅Use a small amount and rub over the fronts and backs of your hands.
👏 This also can make a thoughtful gift!
