What To Do When Bored During Self-Isolating... 🏘️

-
Right now, the world has been crazy and weird, and everyone has been trying to self isolate in their homes. Because of this, a lot of people are at home bored with nothing to do and nobody to see. So, here is my list of some things I have been doing and other suggestions of what you could do during these strange and difficult times to keep you from getting too bored.

What I have been doing...

I haven't actually been doing that much myself. Here are some of the things that has been keeping me a little less bored...

Baking. I have been baking rather often over the last few weeks. I've made a banana loaf cake, and white chocolate brownie-cake. My brothers and mum have also been doing some baking here and there. I made these cupcakes today. They are carrot and banana cupcakes, and they were delicious. Very popular with my two brothers and dad too. 

I have been watching Netflix and a lot of YouTube. I have mentioned in a couple of my previous posts some of my favourite Youtubers currently already, so I won't go into that again. And with Netflix, currently I have mainly been watching some movies and re-watching a couple of my favourite series. But I have been thinking of starting a new series, and probably going to choose between the show "You" and "I Am Not Okay With This" but I have not decided yet so...I'll see. But I have also got a lot of films on My Netflix List that I want to watch, so defiantly got a lot lined up there. 

I have also been spending a lot of time on my phone, on Instagram and WhatsApp mostly. Right now my phone is acting up, which is something you defiantly don't want happening during a time like this, so not been able to use it much, sadly, but when it has been working I love going on Instagram, Snapchat and listening to music on Spotify. If you want to know what some of my current favourite songs are, I have also done a previous post on that. 

I have been studying, as when you already study online nothing there really changes much. I am currently studying Creative Writing, so that's still going on. Coming close to the end of this year, so got a couple more assignments to do before that. I also write a lot outside of this course with this blog and writing short stories. I have also been trying to write a book, but been taking a short break from that...

I haven't been doing a lot of it, but I have also been doing a bit of drawing. I have actually been trying to teach myself to draw. It hasn't been going that well, but it is still a lot of fun. And I have defiantly seen a little improvement in some areas. 

And...

I have also been testing out some of my make-up as I don't usually wear any on a day to day bases,  but I have formed myself a small collection and testing them out now and then. 

Some ideas of things to do....

Go for a walk
Do some drawing or painting
Do some puzzles or a jigsaw puzzle  
Write in your journal or diary
Create a scrapbook-with photos and other pieces you may have stored from holidays and events you have had 
Find some blogs to read...like mine ;)
Do some online shopping
 Download and mess around with TikTok or just learn some TikTok dances for fun
Clean out your closet
Clean your room or home 
Read a book
Do a at home workout-there are some great workout videos on Youtube 
Do a facemask 
Try a new hairstyle 
Make pizza or pasta from scratch 
Just dance around 
Play a board game with your family or house mates
Facetime or Skpye a friend
Go live on Instagram 
Start a blog
Have a bubble bath 
Re-organize your bedroom
Just spend time outside in your garden....
..have a picnic, draw, write, have a family BBQ


What have you been doing during this time of self-isolating?
What are things you like to do when bored?
I'd love to know...

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
