But it absolutely must be done, because if you’re working 24/7, you may eventually burn out. Here are some self-care activities you should try:

Spa day 
If you don’t know if there is an affordable spa within your vicinity, Google is your friend! Find out how much it costs and book an appointment. You can also find budget-friendly on DealDey.

Spoil yourself baby girl. you deserve it!

You can binge-watch your favorite TV series and spend the whole day in bed enjoying yourself or visit a nearby cinema and watch the latest movies – whichever works best for you. And no, there’s nothing weird about watching a movie all by yourself. Remember, it’s all about you! Not about what anyone else thinks.

Sometimes, a nap is all the self care you need. A short, sweet nap can work wonders and give you a quick boost of energy and a refreshed mind.

I’m yet to meet a woman who doesn’t love new things. Ain’t nothing wrong with a little retail therapy. Just makes sure you set a budget for your shopping trip first, before you head out, so you don’t go overboard!

Visit a new restaurant 
What is life without food? Try a new restaurant in your spare time. And if people give you weird looks because you are dining alone, just stare right back at them as you chew your tasty, delicious meal. It’s all about you girl, never mind what people think. Related image

Weekend getaway
You can pamper yourself by taking a trip to the next city, or by book a room at a nearby hotel and having a mini “stayation.” Enjoy peaceful serenity away from home and work.

Queens, it is our time. We keep breaking boundaries across the world in the diverse industries. There’s really no stopping us.

One Queen that is seriously slaying both in and out of the continent is South African actress, Pearl Thusi. 

The star has indeed come a long way in her career. From her early beginnings as a presenter, to landing roles in popular international series like Quantico, to starring as a warrior princess in fantasy thriller, Scorpion King.

And now, Pearl is set to star in Netflix‘s first African original series, Queen Sono, which is set to begin production in South Africa in 2019.

According to Daily Sun:

Pearl will play a top spy in a South African agency who must tackle dangerous cases while facing the changing relationships in her personal life.

The series is created and will be directed by comedian and actor Kagiso Lediga.

According to Netflix, the series is set in the world of espionage with a touch of humour.

Announcing the news, Pearl took to her Instagram to state:

“It feels kind of crazy overtime I’m about to say it, I’m going to be starring in Africa’s very first Netflix original, this is crazy it is amazing not just for me but for everyone.”

We totally agree with Pearl. When one of us wins, we all win!

]]> Barack & Michelle Obama will be Making Films for Netflix! https://queenmoremi.com/2018/05/barack-michelle-obama-will-be-making-films-for-netflix/ Wed, 23 May 2018 10:34:49 +0000 http://queenmoremi.com/?p=1504 It’s been over a year since our favourite President, Barack Obama, exited the White House and now, according to CNBC, he and former first lady, Michelle, have signed a multi-year…]]> It’s been over a year since our favourite President, Barack Obama, exited the White House and now, according to CNBC, he and former first lady, Michelle, have signed a multi-year agreement with Netflix to produce movies and series. The deal includes scripted and unscripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features.

In a statement, Barack said, “One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience. That’s why Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix – we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world.”

The Obamas, who have kept a relatively low profile since leaving office, established a company named Higher Ground Productions, which will be managing the project.

According to a New York Times report from earlier this year, sources knowledgeable about to the Obama/Netflix partnership made it clear that the former POTUS has no plans of creating any programs centred on or addressing President Trump and The White House. Instead, Obama wants to produce “shows that highlight inspirational stories.”

“Barack and Michelle Obama are among the world’s most respected and highly recognised public figures and are uniquely positioned to discover and highlight stories of people who make a difference in their communities and strive to change the world for the better,” Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix, stated.

We can’t wait to see what comes of this partnership. Something tells me it’s going to be a show stopper, literally. Again, black excellence wins and we’re loving it.
