At the beginning of 2021, we are all ready to say goodbye to Covid and hello to everyday activities that we have missed so much. Unfortunately, the reality is different – we’re still advised to be vigilant and stay at home. That being said though, there definitely are ways in which we can use this time. Not only can we use the time at home constructively, but we can also have fun in the meantime!
So, while we wait for the time when we’re able to go outside, party, and everything else – let’s focus on different ways in which you can have a good time at home.
Rebooting your repertoire in the kitchen
The probability is high that by now you’re getting quite bored with the same meals over and over again. If that is the case, it’s time to face the fact that your repertoire in the kitchen is due a refresh.
So, what can you start with? If you’re not all that well versed in cooking, a good place to start is buying a cookbook on oven baking. This type of cooking is oftentimes lower maintenance, and you can enjoy amazing meals like a perfect sourdough loaf or banana bread.
If you’re looking for something more exotic, you should pick up a cookbook on Asian cuisine. Go and try your hand at dumplings, bibimbap, or a fattoush. It’s all about having fun and experimenting, so, be sure to do so!
Board games and cards
Video may have killed the radio star, but modern gaming mediums are definitely slowly killing board games. The thing is, anyone who does try and throw a board game evening will realize that they’ve been missing out. There is a plethora of board and card games for you to explore based on your preferences.
Many people love card games, and if you’re a person that likes them – act on it! You can play other card games online, making it easier to socialize nowadays. If you aren’t well versed in the rules of poker but want to learn, Beasts of Poker offers a wide range of articles that can help you. In the end, whatever you do choose to play, we can guarantee an evening of fun.
Time to bring out your art supplies
All the artists out there must’ve already picked up their art supplies months ago, but what if you’re not an artist per se? Well, the answer is quite simple – time to find your inner artist.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you need to shoot for a museum-worthy piece. In fact, art is all about self-expression, observation, and reflection. It doesn’t matter if you think you can only draw a stickman. You should try and put your feelings on paper for art truly is a great medium for meditation.
Movie marathons are always fun
What doesn’t sound fun in making a living room film festival? Sure, you can’t go to a cinema right now, but enjoying movies at home can be as fun. Whether you opt for recent Oscar winners or Star Wars, make sure that you grab your favorite snack food and get cozy. All that’s left is to immerse and have fun!
If you don’t want to watch alone at home, there is a great option for you. Netflix has recently introduced a game-changing option – Netflix Party. This feature allows people to connect and enjoy binging their favorite shows and movies together. All that you have to do is to download the Chrome extension and you’re ready to go.
Channel your inner bartender
First of all – cocktails are incredibly fun. So, instead of sticking to the same old drink recipes, level your game up. It’s time to challenge yourself with some more intricate and exciting cocktail recipes. Not only will you enjoy this new skill, but the probability is also high that everyone around you will admire it as well.
Go to an online exhibition
Never before in history have various exhibitions been so easily accessible as they are now. There is such a wide range of museums out there setting up their exhibits online. Some of the exhibitions are free, some aren’t. In any case, make sure to use the possibility to enjoy getting an art fix from the comfort of your home.
It doesn’t matter whether your niche is fashion, contemporary art, renaissance, music shows, or something else. If you look up your interests, the probability is huge that you will find a virtual show!
It’s quite easy to get bored these days, especially considering the monotony of spending each day at home. Just remember that even when you feel like you’ve done it all – there is so much more to explore. Whether we’re talking about new music to find, instruments and languages to learn places to explore… The options are endless.
