Catch up on a television show or watch a movie you’ve always wanted to see: Grab a blanket and a cup of tea and spend some time relaxing in front of the television without the guilt of wasting a beautifully sunny day outside.
Try your hand at art and craft: Keep your mind active and fight winter boredom by beginning a new craft or DIY project, or by trying your hand at drawing or painting. There’s plenty of great DIY and craft projects on websites such as Pinterest, and the bonus is that you’ll be left with something to admire or use. Remember, practice makes perfect, so even if you don’t consider yourself a budding artist, then you will certainly get better with each drawing or painting you attempt.
Makeover your space: If there’s ever a perfect time to want to give your bedroom or study space a makeover, then winter is perfect. It is during the cold season that you spend the most amount of time indoors, so why not turn your favourite spaces in your home into rooms that will constantly inspire you?
Dust off your favourite board games: It seems as though board games are seldom played once we reach adulthood, but this shouldn’t be the case! Board games are a great way to interact with friends and family and to embrace your competitive spirit. It’s all about having plenty of fun and reminiscing over the games you once loved as a child.
Opt for a new hairstyle: You might not think so, but sometimes a new haircut or colour is all you need to lift your spirits and get you feeling inspired again. After all, they say change is as good as a holiday! We love Paige Joanna’s gorgeous shade of red (See page 33) and are also inspired by fuss-free, midlength tresses that perfectly frame the face.
