With the extension of the quarantine and social distancing, we have to learn how to cope with our new routines or the lack of a routine staying at home. Sometimes it can be very challenging to plan your day with purpose and avoid getting bored all the time or avoid letting our tasks feels like a burden to us.
We don’t need to be productive all the time and we don’t need to force ourselves to have a good day everyday, we need to embrace our feelings and understand that it is ok to feel down sometimes… we are under a pandemic and life is getting difficult for many.

How to design a successful eCommerce email in 15 simple steps
Since I started working for a menswear company, designing email newsletters is one of my main weekly duties and I enjoy it more every day. Email marketing is a great way to spread your message to a large audience and is one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to engage with your customers.
I design at least two emails per week and I try to improve my layouts from time to time to bring consistency across branding and website(the website and email should look and feel the same) and make the email more mobile friendly.
