12 Things To Do At Home While Self-Isolating

1. WHIP UP SOMETHING DELISH!

Since you're in lock-down and can't escape your hubby's questionable cooking, why not learn some yourself? It's probably time for you to open up the 'Cooking Skills 101' book your aunt gave you 5 years ago. 

 

 

2. ART ATTACK

Take this opportunity to tap into your inner artist! Make use of water colours, paints, crayons, etc and draw your heart out (not literally). Take a look on the net and get inspired with designs, or you could just play around and have some fun with colour. 

 

 

3. GIVE YOURSELF A MINI MANI & PEDI

Salons are out-of-bounds currently...and the self-care bells are ringing! You don't need no salon to groom yourself anymore. Do not compromise on looking after your nails. A simple at-home manicure and pedicure procedure will do the work.

4. STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR 'HOMIES'

Loneliness is real, and at this point in time one can really struggle with feelings of fear, anxiety and loneliness. Despite not being able to hang out with your girl gang in person, you can always hang out virtually! Technology has blessed us (it probably knew this was coming someday).

 

5. MUSIC FOR THE SOUL 

They say singing your heart out releases endorphines (happy hormones). In such a stressful time maybe that's what you need. Similarly, the rise of the digi-concert by celebrity singers has taken the internet by storm.

 

 

6. SWEAT IT OUT

The government-imposed lock-down on gyms and fitness centres has personally hurt the fitness enthusiast. However, the internet comes to your rescue yet again! Do a 30 minute high intensity workout using one of those fitness apps, have a virtual sweat sesh with your fitness buddy or simply do some at-home exercises to stay fit!

 

7. GARDENING IS NO LONGER SOLELY FOR THE NATURE-LOVER 

Gardening is always a great idea. While self-isolation is already doing wonderful things for the environment such as eliminating air pollution and clearing up the seas, why not do our bit and contribute to a greener and cleaner world?

 

8. A GOOD READ IS ALWAYS A GOOD WAY TO PASS TIME 

Pick up from where you left of. A pending book that you never got to finishing? Well, now is the time.

 

 

9. CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA. IT'S PUZZLE TIME!

Who doesn't love puzzles, crosswords and sudoku? Get those dusty puzzles out from the back of your store room and get on it! 

 

10. NETFLIX BINGEATHON 

Wondering what to watch next? Well, so is Kylie. I mean the world (netflix) is your oyster, I'm sure you'll figure something out.

11. GET YOUR INSTA A-GAME GOING

The thing we love most, taking a million photos but posting only one.. Well now you have all the time in the world to do it! Take some creative flat-lays, some beautiful breaky-in-bed shots and insta-worthy selfies. Everyone's free rn, so don't worry you'll get a bunch of likes too.
