Are you planning on traveling this summer? ✈️✨ I have to say, coming back from Arizona, getting tested for COVID-19, & self-quarantining left me wondering if it is worth the risk to make any future travel plans 😳 It’s weird especially for me because I normally travel every week for work but haven’t in months... And after our trip to Arizona I doubt I’ll fly anytime soon! But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss it! 💕 IF YOU’RE GOING TO TRAVEL RIGHT NOW PLEASE:
✨ Wear a mask the whole time you’re in public when you can’t social distance. Yes, that includes this whole 5 hour flight. And at the restaurant minus eating. Or the grocery store. And yes, wear it over your nose too.
✨ Pack enough hand sanitizer. TSA is allowing up to 12oz in 1 container per person for your carry on item. Use it often when you can’t wash your hands or in-between washing them.
✨ If you’re going to eat out, request to eat outside. The virus is more likely to spread in close quarters like a restaurant.
✨ Look into the area you’re going to... is there a surge in cases? What is the testing positivity rate there? Be cognizant of where you’re going + assess the risks. Only you can decide if it’s worth it to go.
✨ Self-quarantine for 14 days AND get tested when coming back after a few days of being quarantined. I got tested after 7 days of being home and thankfully we are negative! But regardless, always better to be safe than sorry!
✨ Continue to follow the CDC guidelines... don’t let your guard down just because you’re on vacation-time! Everyone wants things to go back to the way they were... but until we have a vaccination for this, we are all in this together! I’m going to really try to find joy in the small things at home for now like my garden, blogging, & cooking new things 🏡💕 How are you all handling these uncertain times? Are you planning to travel anytime soon? I’d love to know your thoughts below! 👇🏽 PS: This @loveshackfancy for @target dress is on clearance!

Today’s biggest Monday task other than catching

Today’s biggest Monday task other than catching up on work emails + getting back into the groove? Getting tested for COVID-19! 😳 Because we actively chose to go to Arizona last week since we already had the tickets prior to the surge in cases right now, it was only right to make sure we got tested within the 14 day self-quarantine time frame since we got back. This is the price of traveling during a pandemic I will gladly pay to keep my family, neighbors, & community safe + healthy ✈️💕🌵 BEFORE: I had heard the nose swab test was painful so I was a little nervous. And not going to lie, I did NOT want to the antibody test because I HATE getting my blood drawn but I wanted to make sure to get the antibody test too since NJ is doing them for free 💯
MY EXPERIENCE: We went to a local clinic with no appointment and it was about an hour line to get in. Social distanced the whole time, everyone wore masks + used sanitizer, and the process itself was quick/painless minus the fact I fainted when my blood was drawn 😂 But that always happens, I don’t like needles 😆 Testing results are about 3-5 days out and delivered virtually.
NOW: As we continue to self-quarantine, let’s pray I test negative + have antibodies already! 🙏🏽💕 Use this as your daily reminder to stay safe, wash your hands, practice social distancing, & WEAR THE DAMN MASK! 🙌🏽 And in other news: new video is up on youtube.com/queencarlene 🤗🌟 // #hellomonday #ltkcurves #summerootd http://liketk.it/2RONZ @liketoknow.it

It’s the 4th of July and I have to be honest...

It’s the 4th of July and I have to be honest... I’m just not feeling it this year. Normally I’d be grilling, drinking, & making memories with friends... but because of recent events + my own self reflection over these last few weeks this just feels like another day to me. I’m indifferent in celebrating this year. I don’t take freedom lightly & I am proud to be American, but it feels so odd to be celebrating Independence Day when so many of us are still fighting for our daily rights in the pursuit of happiness... And that goes for immigration rights, fighting voter suppression, standing up for black lives matter, LGBTQ+ rights, and so many more movements for the basic freedoms that America claims to have for all ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 Are you not feeling today? I’m here to tell you THAT IS OK. Are you celebrating the holiday? THAT IS OK TOO. I don’t think there is any one way to feel right now. I know that I, myself, am overwhelmed at times with everything happening but we need to keep this energy going. MENTAL WELLNESS CHECK: Take today as an opportunity to unwind, relax, & to take a deep breath and do something for YOURSELF so we can keep on doing what we need to do tomorrow to all TRULY be independent in the land of the free, because of the brave 🇺🇸♥️ #july4th #independenceday #amplifymelanatedvoices // http://liketk.it/2RIjs @liketoknow.it
