- Fake tan from head to toe (because it will make me feel good!)
- Organise my iPhone photo reel (10,000 pictures waiting to be reminisced, sorted into albums and/or deleted)
- Order photo books from recent holidays (I'll be doing this for Iceland, Italy & Morocco)
- Read a fiction book (I'll be choosing between The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo or The Other Bennett Sister by Janice Hadlow)
- Read a non-fiction book (on my list is... The Sisterhood: A Love Letter to the Women Who Have Shaped Me by Daisy Buchanan)
- Start a new TV series (I'm thinking either - or all - Tiger King, The Good Place or Breaking Bad)
- Give yourself an at-home manicure
- Create a vision board. Be it for the summer / career / dreams / holiday plans or just general post-isolation! Head over to Pinterest if you're running short of old magazines to cut up!
- Make blueberry pancakes for breakfast just because...
- Bake a cake (the question is: Banana Bread or Lemon Drizzle?)
- Make your own hand sanitiser. It is surprisingly easy if you're prepared to sacrifice some vodka for the cause. I'll be making my second batch using this tried & tested recipe.
- Make a Spring wreath for the front door
- Organise your bookshelves (by colour or alphabetised?)
- Make a throwback playlist to your teen years (Avril Lavigne anyone? Get that teenage angst out!)
- Write a post-isolation bucket list!
- Make a batch of flavoured fruit gin (I did this last year and made Sloe Gin which I served on Christmas Day!)
- Marie Kwando your underwear & sock drawer
- Prepare those feet for freedom with an at-home pedicure
- Create positive affirmations and stick them around the house. All you need is paper and a pen!
- Make your own scented candles
- Take a day off from social media
- Moisturise your body from head to toe
- Plant some seeds in the garden or window boxes and watch them grow
- Hinch the kitchen (I'm talking deep-cleaning the oven or re-organising all the cupboards. Get trigger happy with Zoflora!)
- Clean your make-up brushes
- Sort out your make-up stash into categories; eyes, lips, cheek, base etc. And discard anything that'll be past its 12 month use-by date!
- Check for diary for upcoming birthday and start thinking of gift ideas (tip: no better time to support small businesses!)
- Get the washing line out of storage. Spruce it up ready for giving the tumble dryer a season off!
- Wash the car inside and out. Freshen up for when it can be used again!
- Pour yourself a glass of bubbles pre-5pm. No judgement here! Celebrate how well you're embracing this period of self-isolation. I'll certainly be enjoying one on the 11th as it's my birthday! Cheers!
I hope this is a bit of inspo to keep you occupied in this coming month. Try to keep your spirits up and stay positive. I find "treating myself" is a great currency to help shift my mood so early nights, lay-ins, chocolate biscuits and pamper evenings are my go-to at the moment! And if all else fails, be sure to turn up some dancing tunes and get dancing around your kitchen!
