Given the current situation, most of us are at home to stay safe, but a prolonged staycation can sometimes be frustrating and stressful. Here are some ideas on how you can spend your time at home.
Video call friends and relatives
There’s tons of applications that you can use to check on your friends, messenger is one of them, and most video call applications have face filters, which morphs our face in funny ways, like floating hearts or masks. You have fun while staying updated with your friends and loved ones.
Cook foreign cuisines
Try making food that isn’t available in your area. There’s tons of recipes and how to guides on the internet, and most supermarkets have delivery services if you need any ingredients. It’s better to cook your own food instead of ordering it, as it might not be safe given the current situation, plus you’ll have more control over it, from how it tastes and how much you can make, so if you plan to eat it for lunch and dinner, you can.
Try indoor gardening
Having one or two bonsai gives zest to the ambience of your home, plus taking care of plants and watching them grow beautifully makes us feel good inside. Some fruits and vegetables can also be grown indoors, which is better than buying one from a grocery store. One indoor plant that you can grow at home is a dwarf meyer lemon, it easily bears and citrus.
Repaint your walls
Changing the colors of your indoors is a fun family activity, you can let the kids paint with you, have them draw out pictures that they want on the wall, which stimulates their creative minds. Best if you also paint the places you don’t always tend to, like walls where you hang picture frames, behind furniture, garage, basement, attic, etc. This is also the way to find out if your home has cracks, molds, and anything else. It’s best if you call for professional help, like Disaster Plus mold remediation if you ever find problems like molds around your home.
Play Online
As the pandemic has confined many to their homes, the rise of online activities, including engaging in an online chess game, has become a popular source of entertainment. With virtual platforms offering a plethora of gaming options, online gaming provides a convenient and enjoyable escape from the monotony of staying indoors. The strategic challenges posed by an online chess game not only stimulate the mind but also offer a socially distant way to connect with friends or fellow enthusiasts. Amidst the pandemic-induced boredom, discovering the world of online gaming, particularly through chess, can add a fun and intellectually stimulating dimension to your stay-at-home experience.
Redesign your wardrobe
Cutting an old t – shirt, adding pins to a dress, putting laces on sleeves, drawing on them, are some of the simple ways you can redesign your clothes. This is better than buying new ones in malls, as products displayed might be contaminated, and is thriftier since you don’t need to spend or spend that much, as we need to budget our funds for these times.
Install new technologies
Since most of us are always online, you might want to look at the latest techs that could ease up your home staycation chores. There are some crazy products available at the market, like voice activated ceiling fans and curtains, couches with automatic dispensers, intelligent toilet bowls, and many more.
Those are some of the ways you can spend your time indoors. Know a fun activity that you do with the family? Feel free to let us know!
