Happy Sunday people! With the new week coming up, you may be getting worried about our old friend boredom creeping in. Well, stop worrying pleaseandthankyou. Because we’ve got the cure! There are loads of fun options for things to do this week. You’ve just gotta know where to look! And luckily, “where to look” is right here. You’re welcome.
Here are 8 things to do at home this week.
WATCH AN NHL GAME
Or at least, as close to an NHL game as is possible right now. The new NHL Player Gaming Challenge kicks off this week, and will see players from every team settle what is sure to be a major side bet around the league- who is actually the best at chel?
VOLUNTEER ONLINE
Feel like helping out a little bit in your spare time? Well, there are more than a few ways to do so, and we rounded up our top picks right now to help you choose.
COOK UP SOME MEATBALLS
We all miss IKEA’s famous Swedish meatballs. So why not whip up a batch of your own at home? Lucky for us, they’ve released the recipe online. Mmmm, our stomachs are grumbling already!
BRACE YOURSELF FOR MORE NETFLIX
We have to say that Netflix has been doing us a real solid these past couple months with their content. May is looking no different- not least in part because Shrek is finally going to grace us with its presence.
STARE INTO THE SOUL OF A PUPPY
Did you know that looking into a dog’s eyes for 30-60 seconds releases oxytocin in your brain and helps reduce stress levels? Well, now you do! So if you feel a little overwhelmed this week, head over to this cool website for a little puppy-therapy.
DONATE TO CHARITY
If you haven’t heard about the ALL IN Challenge yet, we’re about to blow your mind. This awesome initiative encourages you to donate to charity by entering you in a super cool contest. Some of the incredible prizes include a private serenade from Justin Bieber or a flight on Drake’s private jet. Plus, all the proceeds go to incredible non-profits who are helping out during COVID-19!
CATCH ANOTHER QUARANTINE CONCERT
Of course, there are more quarantine concerts to enjoy this week. With so many artists jumping on the #TogetherAtHome trend, it seems we’ll never run out of at-home shows! Not that we’re complaining. Keep ’em coming, please!!
OR CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY
Yup, Jazz Day is a U.N.-recognized day of celebration around the world. Since the in-person event can’t happen this year, there will instead be a virtual concert hosted by Herbie Hancock. Who, in addition to being a living legend of the genre, also put out one of the most 80s music videos ever.
So there ya go! There are plenty of things to do at home this week! With these incredible options, there won’t be a dull moment of quarantine at your isolation location!
