I had already told you about my new home routine during this quarantine (but not only, even on weekends, holidays, etc.). Let’s continue with this, with more tips and ideas. Here you can find some inspirations to pass this period at his best.. Being actually productive (with yourself and your partner!).
Pajama
Wearing pajamas is a beautiful thing, especially when you have a slow start in the morning. Maybe even breakfast in bed. Maybe staying near the window for a while, without getting dressed immediately, getting some sun. Maybe we start the day with some face mask, while the skin gets used to the new day. Staying in your pajamas is important, so why not think of a nice pajama that makes us feel fresh (or warm, it depends on the season!), Sexy and comfortable? Below is a selection of pajamas for various seasons that I put on my wishlist. Which one should I wear?
Lingerie
Whether you are spending your days at home with your partner or alone, underwear should not be left in the background. Nobody might see it (if you are not accompanied) but you know that under your outfit (or loungewear) you have a nice suit, sexy, elegant, matched lingerie, and not a faded and tattered knickers. A good underwear increases self-esteem immediately.
Garden/Terrace/Window seat
The beautiful days are coming and we are segregated in the house. What shall we do now? We get equipped. There are millions of things you can buy or convert to create your own corner of paradise near the sunniest window, on your balcony or in the garden. Read a book in the warmth of the first spring sun, take a nap under the sun’s rays (with sunscreen, yes, even in April!) Or even just eat or have a nice aperitif outdoors. I found a lot of ideas on Pinterest, I put them here (those who follow me on Instagram will have seen my beautiful – er – garden table made with two pallets). Scroll my board (which I will keep updated) and follow me if you like: there are ideas indoor, for small terraces and for small gardens!
Relaxing bath
Only those people who have a bathtub in the house (like me) can really enjoy this. How nice is it to spend time alone, with lights out, candles lit and a glass of wine, immersed in a nice hot bath? Rediscover these moments now, since my most popular excuse was: I don’t have time. As soon as you get out, an enveloping bathrobe.. and more wine and perfumes. I usually dissolve in my tub, with hot water, a colored bomb and a bubble bath, to add a lot of foam. Aaah, I almost want to go now! I recently bought a fantastic wooden tray to put in my tub. Not only it has a compartment to hold a glass of wine, but also a practical support for books or tablets! You can find mine HERE or HERE or simpler HERE.
Learn new recipes – part 2
Ever since I found the pasta maker on Amazon, I have juggled the creation of lovable ricotta and spinach ravioli. I then tried to make potato gnocchi, as well as millions of other sweet and savory pies. In general, in addition to Giallozafferano (as I told you last time) now I really like to follow the recipes of @chiarapassion and @sofiabronzato (they are Italians but you can easily translate their recipes – the last one I will follow much more now for ideas on healthy recipes to get back in line after this Easter and Easter Monday!). My recipes have one thing in common: they are bad but good! And you, have you been juggling with some new passion recently?
