6 things to do at home to face the quarantine - Week 7

6 things to do at home to face the quarantine - Week 7 From home-made appetizers to the best beauty tools to try

The long-awaited May 4th, the day that is supposed to mark the end of the quarantine, is approaching. And the closer it gets, the more uncertainties increase, as we don't know what it really means and how the changes will affect our routine. Nothing is certain, except that we still have several days of lockdown ahead of us.

Our homes are now becoming our shopping district (thanks to online shopping), our favorite restaurant, improving more and more our skills in the kitchen, our temple to be filled with hype items and accessories, and our beauty salon thanks to a perfect beauty routine.

Also this week, nss G-Club keeps company and offers simple ideas about things to do every day to better spend the quarantine.

 

1. 5 APPETIZERS TO COOK AT HOME

Questo è il consiglio che fa per voi se la cosa che più vi manca in questo periodo è l'aperitivo (e come darvi torto?): dall'aperitivo post lavoro a quello con le amiche nel weekend nelle serate più "tranquille", è davvero difficile rinunciarvi. Quindi, organizzate subito un aperitivo virtuale su Zoom e mandate queste ricette alle amiche, poi mettetevi anche voi ai fornelli, et voilà! Abbiamo pensato a tutte: dagli stuzzichini con formaggio e uva, e le tartine con i cetrioli, agli spiedini di insalata caprese, alle zucchine grigliate con pollo alle arachidi, e infine gli spiedini di tonno e zenzero. Che fame!

This is the best advice for you if what you miss the most at the moment is the happy hour (and we relate): from the post-work happy hours to the ones with friends in the weekend for "chill" nights, it is really hard to do without. So, immediately plan a virtual happy hour on Zoom and send these recipes to your friends, then go in the kitchen, et voilà! We thought about everyone: from cheese and grapes appetizers, and cucumber party sandwiches, caprese salad kabobs, grilled zucchini with peanut chicken, and tuna-ginger kabobs. Sounds tasty!

 

2. 5 WHITE TEES TO WEAR AT HOME

Fra i capi di abbigliamento più comodi e disinvolti, da indossare veramente in qualsiasi occasione (partendo proprio dalle giornate in casa) c'è sicuramente la t-shirt.

Da Comme des Garçons, a Sunnei e Martine Rose, ecco le più cool del momento.

Among the most comfortable and casual clothes, to be worn on any occasion (starting from the days at home) there is certainly the t-shirt.

4. 5 FEMALE DJS TO LISTEN TO

Every week we recommended artists from the music scene, from the current one to the past icons, and for different musical tastes, but today we want to change a bit and dedicate our choices to those girls who instead of their own voice and words, give us the same magic through a console. Djs, producers, here are the 5 women from the music scene to keep an eye on.
