Board games
This time round, the 90’s has made a comeback not only with fashion but also the way we are leading our lives. Ever since the pandemic, there is no debate that value has been placed on the things that really matter; spending quality time with our loved ones.
Amid thesocial distancing, apart from indulging in dairy free ice cream and Netflix, board games are as exciting as it gets. Having some Game of Thrones Monopoly or even some classic Carrom can really uplift the spirits of your household.
Being a little extra never killed anybody, so grab your family evening tea, go a step further and customize games like Jumbo Jenga. Oh, and if you’re flying solo in your studio apartment, well you always have online Pictionary!
House plants

As the Feng Shui expert Marianne Gordon says, “Plants have innate positive chi, they clear the air of allergens, and really do wonders for us,”. Having some mini ones around your workspace or statement ones in your bedroom can really help eradicate any toxic energy and elevate positive vibes all around your home.
Silk pillowcases
With a mask covering our faces, it is bad enough that we can’t showcase our new Dior Lip Maximizer, that we now have to deal with the post effects of wearing a mask; acne!
However, since the mask is mandatory for your and others safety, there is no way out of it! Hence, one way to minimize the damage is ‘Silk pillowcases’!
‘Silk pillowcases’aren’t just your comfort bestie, but they are also a great way to prevent acne. The silk material helps reduce the friction between your skin and hair whilst the pillow itself prevents hair fall and skin irritation.
How else do you think Blair Waldorf managed to maintain such flawless skin and hair throughout all 6 seasons of Gossip Girl?
A lazy bed table
Trade breakfast in bed for work in bed. Staying at home is ought to challenge your work ethic and discipline. Therefore, some days it’s okay to want to answer emails in your silk duvets. To meet your comfort and your emails halfway is where a ‘Lazy bed table’ comes in handy. This is a must have for all you workaholics out there!
Oversized jogger
