35 ways to avoid cabin fever

Have your very own movie marathon—with at least an 8 hour minimum and mandatory popcorn.

Take a trip down memory lane and build a blanket fort. (It’s okay to include the TV).

Invite your friend who has the cutest dog (or cat?) to come over and play.

Clean out your closet—once and for all!

Read that book that’s been collecting dust on your nightstand for a few months.

Play celebrity (with friends or your roomie)! Not familiar? It’s like charades, but you’re only guessing famous people names.

Give yourself a mani/pedi, complete with nail art and a self-given (and deserved) hand massage.

Spring clean, even though it’s winter. So really, just a deep clean (yes, that includes dusting–everything).

Turn your living room into a temporary yoga studio. Decorate with candles, incense, calming music, and enjoy your new serene space.

Take a bubble bath, obviously.

Order a whole pizza for yourself, just because.

Plant an indoor herb garden. It’ll add a bit of green to your space and be good for cooking.

DIY any craft you already have all the materials to make.

Have a solo dance party to some #TBT mixtapes, CDs, or playlists. Did someone say Backstreet’s back?

gallery wall

it will be like a puzzle! And create a totally new vibe for your room.

Create an inspiration board. Tear things out of magazines, print out old photos, and go crazy!

Open your window, feel the breeze of fresh air, and maybe yell something down to the people who have chosen to leave their homes.
