Your Cart is Empty
These are strange times we are living in right now, and many of us have extra time on our hands with nowhere to go. The Aurora Designer team has compiled a few suggestions for our community to utilize and make the most of this retreat from normal life.
You may hear this suggestion a lot and think to yourself, “Yeah, but what?”. Hot tip: make a list of things you’ve always wanted to accomplish. From there, you can decide what is possible to do right now! Here are a few examples of things on my list:
So many of our goals seem out of reach right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take steps to make those things happen in the future. We have time now to do all the things we never have time for. Make the most of it!
If you are stuck at home, a classic and fun way to pass the time is with games. Board games, video games, computer games - you name it! Whether you are isolated with family or all alone, games are a great way to keep busy and have fun.
If you’ve already gone through Monopoly and Sorry! and all your other favorites, try creating a game to play during TV time at night. Google has a lot of great suggestions for games to play while watching your favorite shows. Fantasy leagues, drinking games (if that’s your thing), or even exercise routines when characters say certain phrases. Check out this website for ideas on creating a fantasy league for an old season of The Bachelor you haven't seen.
Stuck at home alone? Call up one of your friends and play a game of trivia or 20 Questions. I recently played a game of Uno with a friend over FaceTime and it was so much fun. We each had a set of the cards at home and would show each other the next card before we put it down on our respective piles. It worked out surprisingly well - we even have a game of FaceTime Monopoly coming up soon. Get creative!
Now is the time to go through all your clothes. Yes, I said it: ALL of them! You know those things you have shoved in the back of the closet that you never wear? Now you can take a trip down memory lane and try everything on. There has never been a better time to assess your closet, your shoes, and all of your accessories. Find new outfits, bag up things you no longer need, and refresh your style by looking over everything you already have and matching shoes and earrings to new outfits.
Another suggestion? Play a little dress-up! Just because you are stuck in the house doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to look gorgeous and give yourself a little makeover. If you have kids, include them in on the fun. Try new styles, follow a makeup and hair tutorial, and do a photo shoot. Have everyone feeling their best and make a party out of it. Blast some music and have a great time!
