1. mentally fit TheMindshineapp helps us (especially in times like these) to think positively and strengthen our mentality. Mindshine is like a personal trainer for the mind. It uses short sessions to combat negative ways of thinking. But that's not all: the app also aims to manage stress, increase concentration, productivity and motivation and even boost self-confidence. The memory training is based on the latest scientific findings, success formulas from top athletes, top companies and spiritual teachers. And best of all: to support people during this difficult time, all premium content is available free of charge until the end of May. Available for iOS and Android, regular premium access costs 12.99 per month.

2. beauty sleep At the moment, we're probably all lounging around on the bed or sofa a lot. So it's all the more important to take a closer look at your cozy corners. Have you ever considered investing in a silk cushion? A soft cover like this has several advantages: Silk acts as a natural heat regulator. Sweating or freezing? That won't happen with silk. Even night sweats can be regulated with silk bedding. A silk pillow acts as an anti-ageing agent in three ways: firstly, the soft fabric absorbs less moisture than cotton, for example. This means that less water (and also less care product!) disappears into the pillow. Secondly, the proteins and amino acids contained in silk nourish our skin while we lie on it. Thirdly, silk ensures less friction and therefore causes fewer wrinkles! Even more great benefits for our complexion: If you suffer from blemishes and redness, you should definitely try a silk pillow. The antibacterial and antifungal effect of silk makes it difficult for bacteria and fungi to disfigure our skin. Our hair is also happy to have a soft pillow. A silk cover regulates our sebum production, thus reducing greasy hair and also counteracts tangles and frizz thanks to its low friction. Our recommendation: the beautiful silk pillows from Moonchild. These are made from 100% silk, which comes from organic silk farming. What's more, all Moonchild cushions are handmade in Germany. Available in various colors and sizes, from 99 euros.

3rd bad hair day adé Many of us are already aware that washing our hair every day is not so good for our mane. We can take the opportunity to give our hair a break, especially when we are at home for a longer period of time. This not only prevents our scalp from drying out and becoming greasy, but also protects the lengths and ends of our hair. Washing them too often makes them brittle and causes split ends. The company Styledry has now launched a shower cap that has nothing in common with the usual models. The Turban Shower Cap is really presentable and can even be seen on Instagram. The cap is not only practical for keeping your hair dry in the shower, but can also be worn as a stylish head covering on bad hair days. An added bonus: it is made from soft Lycra, which prevents unsightly rubber marks and makes it super comfortable. Available online here for around 20 euros.

4. on soft soles If you're at home a lot these days, for example because you're working from home, a comfortable outfit is certainly important. Right at the forefront: cozy slippers! The EMU Australia brand has just the thing for us. The plush "Mayberry" slipper is by no means something that makes our feet fall asleep. Quite the opposite: the shoe really spices up the look of our relaxed home outfit. The slipper pampers our feet with soft lambskin and is not only suitable for cold winter days thanks to its open shape. The rubber sole even allows you to go for walks outside! The chic slipper is available in different colors for around 60 euros.

5 Don't worry, be happy Anyone who is bored, whose children are nagging in their ears or who simply needs a break from worrying news should prick up their ears now: Entertainment giant Disney launched a major streaming service in Germany at the end of March. Disney+ contains more than 500 films and over 350 series - and of course all the Disney classics are included. Fancy a relaxing evening that takes you back to carefree childhood days for a few hours? Disney+ does this like no other with its movies. For young and old - everyone will find something here. It also includes all kinds of episodes from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and many more. The streaming offer costs either around 7 euros per month or 70 euros per year.
