Home Sweet Home

 

Home Sweet Home


      Lately, we have all become accustomed to the same routines. Being isolated and remaining in our homes is crucial, yet we all have begun to wish it wasn't. For many of us, we find an escape from the things that bring us stress, by surrounding ourselves with friends and loved ones. Although as we all know now, that is no longer an option. Take a few minutes out of your day to read this blog, where I have listed some safe activities to make your time at home a little more pleasurable. 

Activities:

- Workout - Have you been meaning to get back in the gym, but these testing times have not allowed for that? Take this time to set down a yoga mat, and get your body in action. 

- Write to old friends - Do you have a friend or family member who you have lost contact with? Right now is a great time to send them a letter, a text, or even call them! 

- Arts and Crafts - Are you an artist? Even if you're not, grabbing some pens and paper and free-drawing is a great way to free your mind and make something beautiful!

- Bake and/or Cook - Have a cooking book? Why not open it up and try something new! Eating healthy is very important, but if you have a sweet tooth, don't be afraid to try something sweet as well. 

- Online shopping - Many small businesses are struggling right now, so why not hop onto their websites and order something? It supports them, and you have something new to look forward to. 

     I hope this list helped provide you with some fun activities to pass the time!

Relationships with a mirror

Relationships with a mirror:      Most likely, when you read this title, you thought of self image. I tend to pinpoint this topic often in my blogs, because it is important to me, but is often misinterpreted. Many people seem to define self image as how you look in the mirror. Although that is part of this, there is much more to this topic. To me, self image is a combination of self love, self appearances and how we react to them, and self confidence. For example, when I look in the mirror, I may not always be pleased with what I see, because the other people look "perfect", yet I do not. But take a moment to imagine what they might say when they look in the mirror. Every person has insecurities and flaws, no matter how flawless they appear to be. This begins the conversation of the "Relationships with a mirror".       As I stated in the above paragraph, every person has flaws. But these flaws are awesome, they make us who we are. It is easy...

Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!      Tomorrow is known as "Memorial Day", a day to honor the men and women who have served in the military. These men and women have made many sacrifices, including some who lost their lives. As a way to show gratitude for these hardworking men and women, we often send letters, visit memorials, host family gatherings, or participate in annual parades.       Unfortunately, many of these celebrations are no longer able to happen this year, as a result of the pandemic we are now faced with. Yet it is still important to honor all the hard work and dedication these men and women put forth. So you may be wondering how to show your appreciation despite these setbacks. To start, there are many artistic activities you can do to express your appreciation. For example, you can make posters or signs. Decorating these posters with the colors of the United States Flag shows respect for these men and women and all they have done for our countr...

"That's a Bop"

"That's a Bop"      You may have heard the phrase, "That's a Bop", which basically means that a piece of music is what society views as great. For example, when the song Shake it Off came out in 2014, many young listeners referred to the song as being a "Bop". Another example is the song 10,000 Hours, released in 2019.       The reason why this phrase should be spoken about now, is because many people globally are dealing with hard times currently, and listening to music is a good outlet for their stress and pain during these times. If you're dealing with something difficult, and have not yet tried this method of release, set some time each day to listen to music that you enjoy. Music can change the way people view situations, and take their mind off the parts they don't like to think about. Of course, it won't completely ease the pain or stress, but it is a great way to change your mood and not have the situation take over e...
