Productive Things To Do At Home

Hello beauties! I hope you are all staying safe & inside! I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes to keep busy & does well with routine. The circumstances we are all in right now are not ideal & everyone is pretty much handling things in a different manner. I figured it would be a great time to give you all some ideas of some productive things to do while at home. You know, other than binge watching Netflix shows! Let me know what you guys are doing to keep yourselves afloat during the quarantine.

Closet Clean Out/Organization

This is one of my first go-to tasks whenever I have a lot of time on my hands. I did a lot of closet clean out when moving but I realized that there was still some things I could do without. Since the seasons are in transition I decided to move all my winter clothing out & make space for spring/summer pieces. I like to pick out pieces that I do not wear or do not fit anymore & set them aside in a bag to take to Plato's Closet. You can also use apps like Poshmark to sell your items. Most of the time I like to donate my clothing to those in need. Since summer is around the corner, this would be a great time to try on bathing suits & see which ones you don't want anymore. Doing this closet clean out even motivated me to begin styling summer/spring outfits.

As far as organization I like to coordinate my clothing. Some people like to coordinate by style (glam, casual, athletic, etc.) or even by color. I prefer to organize my clothing by sleeve length. My closet begins with crop tops & tanks then moves to dresses & sweaters. On the opposite side I keep all my casual wear like t-shirts, work shirts, flannels, etc. All my leggings are folded in one pile & my jeans are folded in another. Rearranging the way you organize your closet will likely create more space & it will feel less overwhelming if you have a lot of clothes.

Try New Recipes

Since we are staying safe at home, this is the perfect time to try out new recipes. A lot of my friends have been baking cupcakes & other sweets. It is very entertaining & of course, tasty :)

Aside from desserts, I like to look on Pinterest for dinner/lunch recipes to try out. I recently came across a tasty Sweet Potato & Black Bean Quesadilla recipe & let me tell you... FIRE! A great idea is to FaceTime or ZOOM call your friends & having a cooking/baking party virtually! If you have a quarantine bae you can set up a Painting with A Twist kind of night like I did! I made pizza from scratch, pulled out a bottle of wine, set up Netflix & had a relaxing time painting.

Interior Design

If you are interested in finally getting around to decorating or maybe even re-decorating your house, I highly recommend the Morpholio Board app! It is basically an app where you can connect your Pinterest account & create vision boards for your home. This app has helped me a lot because I am a very visual person. It makes it easy to see exactly I how I want things to look like when remodeling.

Take A Walk

This is something that I do on a daily basis & honestly, it is my favorite part of the day. Spring is here & as I take my walks I like to notice things that I typically wouldn't notice on my day-to-day routine. Taking in the moment of seeing the flowers bloom more & more everyday, dodging bees left & right (my least favorite part of my walks LOL), noticing the beauty of my neighborhood. This is a great way to get in some relaxing exercise. I highly recommend that you get up & get moving for at least 20-30 minutes a day.

DIY

I am dying to go to Michaels & pick up a tie-dye kit! The new spring trend is tie-dye & I am living for it. Nicole Guerriero has me wanting to make tie-dye socks after her Nike Tie Dye Socks video. The Fashion Muse has also posted a IGTV video on How To: Tie Dye with Bleach. You can also check out my blog post on my DIY Denim Jacket.
