Things To Do When You Are Home Alone

“If I could just have the place for myself and be the queen of the day..” –  Everybody gets struck by this thought once in a while and I am no exception. This week, I did get a chance to do the whole ‘home alone’ thing for the first time ever. Surprisingly, I pulled it off alive and discovered so many things to do when one is alone. So let’s dive straight into them.

Sleep Whenever Wherever

First things first, sleep is bae. You don’t have to be up for something or someone’s schedule. You are at your own discretion at the highest level of panda mode. If sleep is important, so be it. Take good rest and get rid of those dark circles that have been haunting you since a while. But mind you, there are so many things you can do rather than waste time in sleeping.

Binge Watch/Read

There are absolutely no itches or must-stop-now rules when you are solo on the couch. Why not take complete advantage of it and tick mark that favorite series of yours which was in the watch-list since forever. Grab a beer, make some popcorn and get going. Or finish the book, that’s been crying for attention on your desk everyday. Only this time, instead of beer, keep your coffee mug at its brim and put on your reading glasses.

Catch Up On Latest Music

Sure, in busy schedules, we would have missed the latest music. Check out the trending numbers of YouTube and may be even dance your heart out. My pick was obviously ‘Dame Tu Cosita – Alien Dance’. This one just got me cracking up and I won’t lie, I did ended up tapping my heals.

Personalize Your Space

Hmmm, whatever you are doing now, pause it and take a look around the room. You will notice that so many ideas have been pending for your room makeover. You can do a lot with your personal space, be it in the bedroom or the living room. Go ahead, give it your creative touch and explore your crafty self. Fill your walls with lovely pictures or motivational quotes. This changeover will keep you refreshed for a long time. My work space makeover has just boosted my determination thoroughly.

Be Monica Geller

While it is absolutely fine to live in a mess, it is much much better to live in cleanliness. Remember Monica Geller and her cleaning techniques and get set go. Do the dishes, wash the clothes, clean like you have guests coming in. Clean like it was a race and clean like it was an art. Take this seriously guys. Your roomies or parents will have a pleasant surprise when they are back.

Pamper Yourself And Dress Up

You totally deserve a long cozy bath which was long due. It’s time to put those speakers at home to use. Draw yourself a bubbly bath or take a long warm shower to just rejuvenate from all the stress. Give yourself a royal manicure and paint your nails pretty. Bring out your long-lost outfits and try them on. As you know, dressing up is always fun. Oh, and don’t forget to click good selfies.

Eat Like Crazy

All the binge watching and craft making, will definitely leave you hungry from time to time. So take time to eat like crazy. If you are not much of a cooking enthusiast like me, try making easy mug meals, since it is going to be just you. It could just be scrambled egg or mac and cheese or you can take it to the next level of making pastas and soups in microwavable mugs. Now that you have all the time in the world, invest in baking and treat yourself with a cute cake or crunchy cookies. Or you could just order quesadillas, like I did, to make your day.

So the next time, you are home alone, have lots of fun by doing whichever applies to you. Also be safe, don’t get too adventurous. I hope you liked the post.
