Fun things to do at home during lockdown: Edition 4

It’s really important that we all spend as much time as possible at home to keep ourselves and others safe during the COVID pandemic. However, there's no getting past the fact that it can get a little ... boring. But not to fear as there are lots of fun things that you can do within your four walls to keep you busy, boost your morale and have a positive impact on your mental health. 

One of the best ways to unwind and relax is to enjoy a nice hot bath - particularly as we’re enduring some harsh temperatures during these winter months. Pamper yourself and go all out with bath bombs, and beauty products. Perhaps even nurse a glass of vino whilst listening to a calming Spotify playlist or reading a good book too, from Waterstones or WH Smith. Stock up on bath time essentials and head to the Lush website

Need a little romance in your life? You don’t need a candle-lit table at your favourite restaurant or theatre tickets to enjoy a perfect date night – and you don’t need to slave away over the oven to create a sumptuous three-courser either! During your next essential shop, make a trip to Marks and Spencer or Tesco and check out their tasty pre-prepared 3-course meals for two that include a dessert and a bottle of wine. It’s all the taste of a restaurant meal with none of the stress and at a small fraction of the price. To really up the romance vibes, deck out your dining area with candles, fairy lights, and some flowers - Wilko is a good place to bag these. 

If you’re sick of living in your jammies then now is a great time to indulge in a little online shopping and update your wardrobe. There might be nowhere to flaunt your style right now but dressing up once in a while, even if it is to watch some TV or do some housework, can work wonders for self-esteem. Plus, you’ll be dressed to the nines when lockdown is lifted. Many retails are currently offering delivery like New Look, River Island, Quiz and so many more!
