An extended lockdown is no fun for anyone but there are little hacks we’ve learnt from the past that help make lengthy periods of time inside a little more enticing. Here are our favourites.

1. Get whisked away in the kitchen
Cook up a storm and try some of the recipes we’ve been sharing – like Kissed Earth’s hearty tomato soup, the TikTok famous feta pasta hack, vegan banoffee cream pie, or The Healthy Chef's superfood beauty bowl.
2. Puzzle it out
If you never got around to finishing the last puzzle you started, now’s your chance to complete the picture. And if you’re looking for something new to piece together, we’ve got options for you too.
3. Boredom busters
If you’re hunkered down with family or friends, board games are a good way to keep things interesting. Even if you’ve played them a million times you can always raise the stakes by playing for household chores.
4. Hello home spa
Self-care is seriously important so don’t forget to take time out for yourself. Light a fragrant candle to set the mood, pop a few drops of calming essential oil into your diffuser, practise meditation, pop on a beauty mask, make a matcha tea – do what you need to do to relax and unwind.
5. Work up a sweat
Revisit the online workouts we shared last year – go at your own pace and choose from HIIT classes to stretch sessions, or build your own mini gym with exercise equipment you can take anywhere.
