Tips on Staying Busy
Hey guys! It's been a long time since I have made a post but I am back! So much has happened since then but I am excited to get back to blogging! 😁
It's been 5 months since we have been social distancing and staying home. For the first 3 months I was working from home while still in school so for the most part I was still busy. However, since the middle of June I have been a free bird with nothing but time!
Below I'll share what I've been up to. Hopefully you will get some ideas!
1. Baking 🍞🎂
During the beginning of quarantine this was a bit harder to do because there seemed to be a flour shortage but now most stores are always fully stocked. I've been baking cakes and other yummy treats, although I have yet to bake bread 🤔
2. Go for Walks 🚶♀️
I don't think I have been as active as I have been in quarantine as I have been in a long time lol Not only is going for walks healthy for your body but also for your mental health! 💪🏻 I like to go on walks in neighborhoods that I would normally not pass through. This gives the feeling that you are actually doing something different and seeing different parts of your city or neighborhood can be exciting. My mom and I like to walk to this grocery store that is 1.7 miles away where we usually stop to get a drink like sparkling water and then we make our way back home. We have also found pretty trails to walk on.
3. Make Art🎨
Now I'm no artist🙅♀️so I love making collages/moodboards! I have a lot of magazines that I have been saving or some that I randomly receive in the mail, so I go through them and cut out pics of celebs that I like, pretty clothes, or gorgeous jewlery. I have a notebook where I glue all the clippings together.
4. Read📚📖
I love to read but it's a shame that I don't always have the time....until now obviously. The book I have been reading lately is "Along for the Ride" by Sarah Dessen. This book is perfect for the summer because it is set during the summer in a cute little beach town. I love Sarah Dessen's books and I'm thinking on making a post about my favorites! Let me know if you want a post about book recommendations!
5. Try out a new restaurant or coffee shop🍔🍟🍕🌮☕
As long as you are following social distance guidelines! It can be exciting to try out a new eatery place especially if it is a small business. Small businesses were badly affected by corona and giving them business is really helpful!
6. Watch YouTube
Watching Youtube has been one of my favorite pastimes! I'll be making a post with my favorite channels to watch so stay tuned for that!
7. Go for a Drive🚗
I have always loved going for drives and now since corona I feel like I appreciate them even more. My mom and I love this coffee shop that's across town so every now and then we will take a drive just to get a coffee.
Hope you enjoyed and please leave a comment. Let me know what you have been doing to keep busy 💕
I hope you all stay safe and healthy. Please wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart! 😷❤
