Ladies and gentleman we are entering week number (4? 5? 6?) of quarantine and there is no end in sight. Earlier this week, I asked you guys to tell me what you wanted me to post and I can’t say i’m surprised by the answers… everyone is looking for fun things to do at home.
I get it. Trying to keep safe, stay healthy and motivated to work can be a challenge when you are bored 24/7. So, here is a list of actually fun things to do at home (when you are going crazy from being so bored.) 🙃
1. Binge Watch Netflix
I feel like quarantine is an acceptable time to watch Netflix in high quantities like you never have before.

2. Color code your closet
Okay to some this might be a chore but if you’re anything like me it is a TREAT. I love organizing closets by color scheme. It also puts into perspective what color I DON”T need to buy more of… (Anyone else find that majority of their clothes are black? 😂)
3. Make some margaritas and tacos
Margarita Monday? Taco Tuesday? Fiesta Friday? All of the above? lol If you want to skip the sugar, I tried a watermelon recipe last week and it was great!!
Here is what you do:
- Cut water melon into cubes and freeze for 6 hrs (or overnight)
- Put in a blender, add tequila.
- ….and yeah thats all. WARNING: they are strong af
4. Do an at home spa
Facials aren’t just for the girls nights! I started getting my boyfriend into facials and spa days a few years ago (he is such a trooper) but I swear he loves it.
Two things you definitely need: FACIAL STEAMER (crucial) + FACE MASK

5. Do a yoga challenge
Working out is great and all, but sometimes you have to switch it up. Plus the yoga melts away the stir crazy fever we are all getting from quarantine.

6. Make banana ice cream
This is very underrated as it is sooo delicious. (If you can’t tell, I am doing my best to stay away from sugar while quarantined. It is very hard)

7. Paint something
When it comes to fun things to do at home….. this is probably my favorite. Bring out the paint brushes, open some wine and create your own Paint and Pour date night! Not sure what to paint? Get some inspo on Pinterest!
Paint supplies from Amazon: Acrylic Paint (Set 24 Colors) and Easel
8. Start a Blog
Have you been tossing around the idea of starting your own website or blog? Well, consider this a sign from the stars. There is no better time than right now to get started on it PLUS Bluehost is offering a 30 day money back guarantee. You literally have nothing to lose.

9. Delete old photos in your camera roll
Okay this might not be the most exciting thing in the world but it is definitely something 99% of us could benefit from. Take some time to go through your camera roll and delete those screenshots, duplicate photos… whatever needs deleting, delete it. Make room for new memories!
10. Have a movie marathon

12. Bake bread
When it comes to fun things to do at home…. apparently baking bread and tie dying is the thing to do right now. Baking your own bread is the #1 trending thing on Pinterest so hey, might as well try something new. Wish I had a recipe to offer but I haven’t tackled this one yet… stay tuned.
13. Organize your home
Turn on some music and declutter the house! Get your spring cleaning on one room at a time. Looking to take your organization to the next level?

14. Cook a Fancy Dinner
Put your cooking skills to the test and make a 4 course meal for yourself and your quarantine buddy. Not sure what to cook? Bring out all the recipes you have been saving on Pinterest over the years!
15. Read a book
I forgot how much I love reading. This has been the best way to pass time because it has given me a sense of productivity while sitting inside.

P.S. Looking for one of those books you can’t put down? You need to read Modoc !! This is my latest read and absolute favorite book.
16. Watch makeup tutorials and recreate the look
Something I have been missing during this quarantine is a reason to bust out the makeup. My skin and lashes have been loving the detox but it is fun to get all dolled up every now and then. So maybe if you’re feeling the same way, go watch some tutorials and practice a new look!
17. Wash your makeup brushes
If you aren’t washing your brushes once a week it is time to start. Taking care of your brushes will make them last longer, apply your makeup better and most importantly, prevent breakouts and clogged pores!
The makeup brush shampoo I use is less than $6 on amazon and works wonders. You can get it by clicking HERE.
18. Watch The Office straight through
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one is very important and shouldn’t have to be said. It goes off Netflix in 2021… make the most while you can.
19. Tie Dye Clothes
This is another trend I haven’t quite tackled but will be doing so soon. All you need are some clothes (I’m going to make some loungewear so probably order baggy sweats and/or a Hanes crew neck) a bunch of rubber bands, and bleach.
TIP: I found that people have been making tie die with toilet bowl cleaner?? If the bleach is all sold out, might be worth a try.
20. Create a care package for someone
This is a super cute idea to send your love to someone you can’t see because of quarantine. It doesn’t have to be a lot! A note, pictures, snacks, something funny or a gift. Make it personal. They will definitely appreciate it!
22. Do a puzzle
I have never been huge on puzzles but who knows this could change. I figured it would be a good thing to add. Here are a few popular puzzles to try:
23. Clean Your Car
If you have really stooped to this level of boredom… perhaps it is time to show your neglected car some love. Give your car the 5-Star treatment with a vacuum, detail, and wash. Hey while you at it, you might as well upgrade the interior with these 9 Essentials From Amazon. (Just saying)
