Well, boredom won out at the end and people turned to movies and social media applications like TikTok to pass the time and chase the boredom away.
TikTok has been around for a while but has been used mainly by teenagers and young adults to share dance videos and challenge videos that go viral on the application and sometimes make their way to other applications like Twitter and Instagram.
Among these time passing activities is the Don’t Rush challenge, which has shown that black people (read women) are leading the beauty trend, especially during this pandemic.
The Don’t Rush challenge has people going from their regular stay at home looks to a more dramatic look for leaving home, except that no one actually leaves their house, thanks to the lockdown.
The origins for the challenge are currently unknown, but the challenge has been trending for a few days now and there have been some videos which have stunned social media users.
Check out some of the most popular Don’t Rush challenge videos below:
