6 things to do at home to face the quarantine - Week 8 From bandanas to experiment with new looks, to plants decorating your home

Day after day, week after week, with patience and hope, May and the first real spring days are approaching (even though a bit cloudy and dark). Although the changes are likely to be slow and will come gradually, let's prepare to spend again several hours in our homes.

This new routine, difficult to assimilate - even after almost two months - gave us space and time to get to know ourselves and our habits better. Which music we like to listen to, which food we are best at cooking, what hobbies we cultivated most in this period, and much more.

Also during this week of uncertainty, nss G-Club wants to share some simple ideas to spend the time at home in the best way possible. Enjoy!

 

1. 5 MAIN COURSES TO COOK

What's better than a main course? Easy to cook, with a thousand variations, tasty and able to give energy to face an entire day. Made of pasta, rice or vegetables, with meat or fish, there are for all tastes. We selected for you 5 first courses we love: squid noodles, for those who want to avoid carbohydrates without giving up the main course; pasta with broad bean pesto, for those who love pesto in all its variations; black cabbage cream, for those who prefer warm and light dishes; spaghetti "alla chitarra" with prawns and bacon, for those who love sea and mountains and simply can't choose; cappellacci with ricotta, speck and asparagus, for those who love stuffed pasta.

 

2. 5 PLANTS TO DECORATE HOME

Customizing our home with design objects and hype accessories can certainly make our home unique, but what is better than indoor plants, to give a green and fresh touch to the home environment? In addition to decorating and purifying the air, do we want to talk about the satisfaction of making them survive and thrive? Here are some plants to buy immediately online to improve your green thumb.

3. 5 BANDANAS TO WEAR

As many brands decreed during the last fashion shows, including Dior with its scarves, the bandana will be a must-have accessory of the upcoming seasons. Versatile and cool, it can be worn in many different ways, and it is simpler than it seems (there are also numerous online tutorials). This is just the right time to experiment new looks with the bandana, and that's why nss G-Club selected some of the coolest ones you can find on the web.

4. 5 PLAYLISTS TO LISTEN TO

Music keeps to accompany our days at home, and regardless of tastes, we look for new ideas and new playlists to listen to every day. Many brands in the fashion industry decided to share with their audience playlists selected by experts and protagonists of the fashion world. From the playlists of The Attico, like "Party for 1", to improvise solo dance moves at home; Moncler, that asks his collaborators and designers to create their own playlists, like Matthew Williams; Gucci, that shares music from its stores or chosen by friends of the maison like chef Massimo Bottura; NikeWomen, which offers us a playlist to find a good mood; and finally Bottega Veneta, with a playlist that blends different sounds
