With the recent changes in our day to day lives, it is difficult to come up with fun ideas to keep busy. Here are some things I've been doing to kill time, while staying safe and out of public gatherings:
1) Learn to Cook
Attempt that time consuming recipe you have been avoiding- use the website linked below to search recipes by ingredient if your pantry storage is low.

3) Learn to French Braid
4) Clean Out your Closet
Try putting together outfits for every occasion- make a photo album of them so you know you have looks you love for the future
5) Master a Difficult Makeup Look
6) Make a Calendar
After making an organized calendar on poster board, paper, or a whiteboard, fill it in with different activities to look forward to each day.
7) Window Shop- Online
For more fun, choose a category with friends (red carpet, concert, etc.) and see who can come up with the best look.
8) Make a Friendship Bracelet
And learn the patterns you have always thought to be too complicated.
9) DIY old clothes
Paint the back pockets of your bland jeans- crop an old sweatshirt
10) Do a Face Mask
If you don't have one on hand- make your own
11) Straighten or Curl your Hair
12) Attempt Difficult Nail Art
13) Try a New Workout
a ton of companies have been offering free virtual classes

14) Play "Chopped"

15) Play a Board Game
16) Try the partner yoga challenge
See how close you can get to the real thing

18) Collage/ Mood Board/ Scrapbook
100% inspired by my friend Ellie- use magazine cutouts, printed pictures, or both
19) Prank your Family
Send videos to friends and see who can get the best reactions
We were in the backyard link next to a wooden garage, sitting in simple chairs, the watches on a chair in between us. We both link wore masks, and the first thing I said to Williams after “Hello, nice to meet you” and “Sorry, this mask keeps falling down under my nose but I’m not doing it on purpose,” was “Why do link you have one watch that looks like this and then say, I want this other watch that kind of looks like that but is slightly different, and so on and so on?”
Similarly, the onshoring of consumption in China link will link accelerate, but will link be spread over several years and will therefore not offset immediately the declines seen elsewhere."
