Staying In? Here's 4 Ways To Spice Up Your Lockdown

Lockdown got you down? You're not alone! Stay-At-Home order is in full effect & I'm here to help you spice up staying in.

Paint & Sip

Quarantined or not, DIY paint & sip is the perfect solo therapy, date night, or girls night activity. Order some paint brushes, acrylic paints & canvases from Amazon, then use this guide to the best wines under $10! I've done this numerous times in the past few months & gather painting ideas off of Pinterest! SO FUN.

$3 brushes

$10 acrylic paints

$17 canvases

$10 wine

$40 total (split with friends/hot date & will be reused!)

Wine Tasting

Red, white, rose, champ, the choice is yours - it's your tasting! Here's a list of the best wines under $10 at Trader Joe's to try. Line up 4 or so bottles, research the tasting notes, & you're all set for an at home wine tasting!

Cocktail making also works too! If you're reading this at Christmas time, then check out this cheap AF recipe here. If not, check out this article on 20 cheap cocktails to make at home.

$10 wine x 4

$40 total (split with roommates or whomever)

Roommate Olympics

No better way to get out the 'stay-at-home angst' than some friendly competition! Rally your roommates, family members, loved ones, & whomever you're quarantining with and get ready to go head to head!

Both Honey House & Alex Presley are great TikTok accounts that post creative quarantine olympic game ideas for you to do with your roommates, friends, fam, etc.!

My favorite is Beerio Kart on the Wii (yes, I still have my Wii from the 3rd grade). Beerio Kart is an adult version of video gaming - basically add alcohol & it's the adult version. To win, players must be first across the finish line and have finished their entire drink. The twist - you can't drink & drive at the same time (duh!) so you must put your drink down.

$ depends on activity, but examples usually have household items

Quiplash

Quiplash is one of the most fun games hands down. ALWAYS a hit! Just use your phone or tablet (no controllers needed) to answer simple prompts like these:

- Something you'd be surprised to see a donkey do

- A double rainbow doesn't have gold at the end of it. Instead, it has ______

- A better name for France

Then you vote for the wittiest response on the TV! Best tip I can give ya is to know your audience & a few drinks always help boost your creativity.

$10 one-time purchase

Have fun staying in!! xx
