Austria Insights: The best way to get through the Covid-lockdown is to make home an oasis of relaxation and happiness

Today, the Austrian government announced the three-weeks full lockdown from next Monday the 22nd November and that the vaccination will become compulsory for Austrian citizens from February 2022. Days earlier, two federal states already decided to break the 4th Covid wave with unpopular but necessary measures. The other seven Austrian federal states followed the recommendations of experts and extended the currently ongoing lockdown for the unvaccinated to the whole population including the vaccinated and recovered. Austria is the first European country with a full lockdown in Autumn 2021. The lockdown is for many a shock; but people know at the same time that's the only way to diminish the hardest threats of the pandemic. The lockdown will bring relief for the already overstressed health system where otherwise with a growing number of intensive care patients the feared triage would have to be practised. The best thing which can be done now is to arrange oneself with the three-weeks lockdown situation.

Fashion.at looked through the latest press materials for tips for making your own home with some easy and affordable tricks more comfy and found the information about the selections of body- and home products by Rituals available as gift sets for Christmas. But who says that it's obligatory to wait, when it's needed some weeks before? Rituals packed body creams, hand washes (what's by the way a very good idea in these days), diffuser, candles,... from the brand's collections such as the Ritual of Ayurveda, Ritual of Karma, Ritual of Hammam,... into boxes of different sizes from S (small) to XL (extra large). The boxes are designed to be reused again for the storage of personal things like letters or memorabilia. The sets were presented recently together with 'The Art of Giving' imagery showing a festive staging.
