During these weeks, with no schools and universities and smart-working, time seems not to pass anymore and we are always looking for something to do to fill all the empty moments during the days. Let's face it, none of us was prepared to have to spend this pre-spring period forced inside the house: there are those who after a winter of "lethargy" were waiting for the sun to start running in the open air, the ones who wouldn't have changed much their habits, and those who just can't stand being at home and are dreaming of endless aperitifs and parties. However, this is a matter of necessity for all of us, so the solution is to find diversions to boredom and solitude.
If you have already exploited Amazon Prime Video, available for free in the red zones of Italy, and finally read the book that you have kept on the bedside table for years, we have prepared for you a guide of the 6 things to do at home to fight boredom, with a list of ideas for each do-it-yourself activity. From ideas for nail art trials to the list of our favorite films .. Enjoy!
1. THE 5 MOVIES TO WATCH
When we talk about movies, we know that every person has preferences regarding the genre, the actors, the themes dealt with, but one thing that (girls) usually has in common is the love of "girly" 2000s films. Our selection of films to watch - or rewatch - during a lunch break or in the evening instead of going out, includes these titles and is suitable for everyone: Freaky Friday, if you miss Avril Lavigne's punk look. Confessions of a Shopaholic, if you are spending too much on online shopping. Mean Girls, the perfect movie if your favorite color to wear is pink. Legally Blonde, if you need a motivational boost and positive energy. He's Just Not That Into You, if you have any concerns about your love life. Thank us later.
2. THE 5 MAKE-UP TO REPLICATE
We can honestly say that it's nice to spend a whole day in pajamas and without make-up, and avoiding make-up is also extremely beneficial for our skin. But when the days start to become two and then you reach one week, we start to miss make-up terribly. Furthermore, it is difficult especially for those who are not make-up experts to find time to experiment and replicate that special beauty hack seen on nss G-Club or on Instagram, so what's the best moment to do that, than when you are forced to stay at home? Scroll the gallery to see the make-up ideas and our favorite trends of the moment.

3. THE 5 SINGERS TO LISTEN TO
A whole day at home, especially during smart-working, can be particularly "silent", and there are those who cannot stand complete silence (I'm one of them!) and cannot concentrate without having a minimum background noise. Leaving the TV on without watching it is not a good solution, it's better to look for a new playlist on Spotify, recommended by a friend, or to follow the tips of nss G-Club and go check out these 5 singers: let yourself be accompanied by the sweetness of Snoh Aalegra and Ama Lou, the energy of Doja Cat, the good vibes of Koffee, and the melodies of Syd.

4. THE 5 NAIL-ARTS TO REPLICATE
As for make-up, even for nail art it takes time to try, try again and experiment, but it is certainly a fun way to spend time. Would you rate the satisfaction of creating yourself a nail art you've seen on Instagram by one of our favorite nail artists? Here are 5 nail art ideas to try to replicate: from the boldest like the cow print or the logo-mania, to the most delicate like the manicure with pearls, the colorful french, or the smiley.
Ps. For the missing colors of nail polish you can find many options on Sephora, and for the pearls Amazon is your bff.
5. THE 5 BOOKS ABOUT SNEAKERS TO READ
Also books are always a great ally of the days spent at home, and since in the guides by nss G-Club the sneakers theme could not be missing, we recommend here some of the most famous and interesting books about the world of sneakers. From the coolest The Ultimate Sneaker Book, to the exclusive The Dunk Book that celebrates the iconic silhouette, to the one about all the limited editions, here's how to immerse yourself into sneakers culture!
6. THE 5 BEAUTY MASKS TO TRY
Last but not least: the beauty masks! We talked here about those do-it-yourself to take advantage of the ingredients of the kitchen that you might have at home such as honey, avocado and banana, and we show you here our favorite ones for a relaxing moment at home between a work email and a virtual call. Treat yourself!
