At this time of year it can be somewhat hard to make plans or even have the effort to make them when the weather is so draining. Therefore I have created a list of 10 great things to do so now you have no excuses! P.S the first one is my fave!
1- Watch a movie - Light the fire, grab a blanket, make yourself a hot chocolate (Cadbury's is my personal favorite) pick any film or series, snuggle with your pet or loved one and simply enjoy! This is by far my go-to on rainy, cold days!
2-Read a book - repeat previous process but instead of watching a film read a book! Highly recommend "Looking for Alaska"
3- Online shopping - This is a much easier way of purchasing goods without having to wrap up and leave the house. Of course you could add loads of items to your basket then exit the tab because by January we're usually all broke!
4- Play a board game - This is by far one of the best things to do, whether you are with friends or family you can always have a laugh playing games...but not monopoly! There is a 78% chance it will end in tears, well definitely in my household anyway!
5- Cooking or baking - This isn't something I do much of however whenever I do, I love it. You could pick a recipe out of a book or the web or as I usually do...wing it and create your very own special dish!
6- Pamper yourself! - Every now and then we ALL deserve a little "Me Time" and seeing as it's winter, a hot bath with some bath crystals and a face mask sounds just about right. Click here to see my Me Time Tag video!
7- Create some new playlists - This is something I love to do, I find it so relaxing and a tad therapeutic! This is great if you have any exciting events coming up (a party, or even a sleepover with your friends) You could make the best playlist for the event!
8- Make a fort - We all have spare sheets, a tall cupboard and some brooms, so making a fort really isn't that hard. Deck it out with some of your softest pillows, pop some popcorn, invite round a few friends and voila! You have your own little fort for telling secretes, scary stories or even watching films and youtube videos if you have a laptop or tablet!
9- Homework - I know this isn't the most exciting, however on cold, rainy days, catching up on work can be the best time to do it. By getting it out of the way now, tomorrow if the weather is better you can go out without that constant reminder hanging over you that you still have work to do!
10- Make a blog - this is a great way to share your opinions and thoughts with the online community and if you already have a blog then you could maybe write your own "10 things to do when it's raining" blogpost!
Hope you are all enjoying the year so far!
So Kyla X
