Netflix and chill

Indulge in self care

Self care is the best care and honestly, this is a must RN. With the current chaos in the world, it's easy to forget the simple things in life such as self care. So light a candle, put on some of your fave feel-good music, slip into something cosy like our Nathalie Beige Balloon Sleeve Knitted Cardigan and get that trustie face mask on. You won't regret it gal.

 

A spot of online shopping

What's better than shopping? Shopping in your cosies with your feet up and a duvet - that's what! Online shopping will become your bestie while social-distancing for sure. And don't worry, we've got all the style inspo needed to get you through. From fluffy sets to staying in sweats. Casual joggers to haute damn hoodies, we have you covered for all your relaxing needs.

 

Keep yourself busy

Do something which will give you a sense of achievement, or something that you can show to others such as a recipe you've always wanted to try. This will not only keep you busy but you can also show off your hard work on Instagram. Who knows, maybe you will inspire others to get creative? If you've finished all that and still find yourself panicking, try baking a cake or some cookies. It is the ultimate form of therapy and will definitely keep your mind busy!

Organise your bedroom

Girl, for weeks you've been saying you're going to organise your bedroom. Well, now is the time.

If you're looking for a bit of organising inspo, hit up Mrs Hinch on Instagram and we promise you'll be entertained for hours!

 

Stimulate your mind

Board games are the best way to help break you out of that cycle! They stimulate the mind, increase your PMA and honestly, who doesn't love a good board game?! So get your roomies together and indulge in a good game of monopoly to combat those isolation blues.

Facetiming with your bestie while you both online shop is the best way to keep yourself from going stir crazy.

This way you don't have to Facetime all your gals separately. Win Win!

Get some good vibes

While being at home in your joggers watching trash TV is undoubtedly good for the soul, too much of it is not exactly good for your physical health. To keep the blood and positivity flowing through your body and mind, try some at home exercises such as star jumps, squats, burpees and even yoga. Remember that exercise releases endorphins which will certainly make you stress less about social-distaincing.
