Here we are in the third week of quarantine, and now we are getting used to the very long days spent in pyjamas (so it is important to choose the right one) and without any make-up. Between a virtual aperitif with friends and a skincare session, it seems almost possible to recreate a new in-home routine.
So what about dedicating to new different hobbies, that we don't always have time to explore, such as cooking? Maybe starting with simple recipes from the Italian tradition, like the cacio&pepe, or healthy recipes to keep in shape. Or, apart from movies and TV series, try to delve into the universe of podcasts. If you don't know where to start, also for this week we prepared ideas and tips on how to spend days on lockdown the best way possible.
1. 5 HEALTHY RECIPES TO TRY
We know that cooking is not for everyone, there are always those who prefer ready-made meals or 24/7 delivery, but spending some time in the kitchen can be a way to test yourself and rediscover hidden skills. Are you a fan of sweets and pancakes? Do you like trying exotic food? Or do you prefer more traditional and light recipes? We thought about all tastes, and also about calories!
2. 5 HEADBANDS TO BUY
If you like to dare with hair-style and hair accessories, or more simply you like to have your hair tidy and collected, the headband is the accessory for you. It can be used at home to keep even the most rebellious hair or to facilitate beauty routine sessions and make-up tests, and get ready to show off your new headband as soon as possible. Here are our favourites!
3. 5 DESIGN ITEMS TO RE-DECORATE HOME
Since our homes are the place where we have been spending most of our time lately, and they express a lot of ourselves and our personality, why not personalizing them with some new cool accessories? Here are some ideas for unique home design.
4. 5 PODCASTS TO DISCOVER
If you have already exploited our advice on movies, TV series and music to listen to, we advise you to explore the world of podcasts. There are podcasts about any kind and on any topic, and they are perfect to keep in the background to discover curiosities and news even during smart-working. Here are some podcasts on female-related topics: like Gurls Talk, a podcast about mental health and social topics hosted by Adwoa Aboah; Morgana, that you can find on Spotify and talks about special women; Feminists Don't Wear Pink, to find inspiration with interesting interviews; GirlBoss Radio, for advice about career and professional life; and Happy Place, to look for happiness in the small things.
5. 5 BOOKS ABOUT FASHION TO READ
Last week we talked about beauty-themed books, to improve make-up skills and ensure a bright and perfect skin. We could not forget, however, our favourites, the books about the world of fashion. The choice here is almost endless, but here are the ones we can't do without. Streetwear, Haute Couture, or issues such as sustainability.. everything you might want to read about!
6. 5 PEELINGS TO TRY AT HOME
As for the skincare routine, find our in-depth advice here in a thematic guide. Another treatment that can also be done at home is the peeling. Through formulas based on acids and natural ingredients, these products ensure a deep exfoliation and a smooth and luminous skin. Enjoy!
