7 HOURS AGO
High five, guys! We made it through another national lockdown and after a month stuck indoors piecing together the jigsaw we've been working on all month, the finish line is in sight. We've proven that we're a pretty imaginative bunch when it comes to innovating from home and if you're stuck for ways to spend your last weekend in national lockdown - or you're entering tier 3 and still looking for fun things to do at home - GLAMOUR is here to provide you with as much positive energy as possible. Taking care of our mental health and keeping busy is absolutely paramount which is why we've trawled the internet and quizzed the funnest people we know to curate a definitive guide to plenty of fun things to do at home to keep yourself entertained. Having structure to your day (especially if you've been furloughed) or are shielding, is essential for your mental health so why not make a lockdown bucket list with plenty of our below suggestions? Have any fun ideas you want us to add? Tweet us as @GlamourMagUK. Stay safe and stay positive out there, people.

1. Host a games night
Bored of yet another pub quiz? We feel ya. Organising a games night is a sure-fire way to keep the whole family or your friendship group entertained this weekend. Here's a few tips...
-
Assign someone the 'happy hour host' and ask them to give a live cocktail masterclass
-
Assign 'drinking games masters' and ask them to orchestrate some drinking games and forfeits
-
Play a good old game of charades
-
Get one person to mute themselves and mime phrases and see who can read their lips the best
-
Ask guests to submit a surprising fact about themselves beforehand and see who can guess which fact correlates to which person on the Zoom
-
Play a good old game of Bingo. Ask everyone to mock up their own Bingo card based on a Google template and use this number generator to kick things off.
We've written a full games night itinerary if you're looking to host one.

2. Download Disney +
If you’ve not got your hands on a Disney+ UK subscription yet, now is most definitely the time. Brits finally have access to a library of all the Disney for the first time ever, from popular classics (Dumbo, we <3 you) to TV shows and new releases. It costs £5.99 per month, but you can save yourself 15% if you purchase an annual subscription. Dreamy.
​
*Saving is based on 12 months of the monthly subscription price.

3. Bake beyond banana bread
First there was banana bread, then came whipped coffee, followed shortly by pancake cereals. Yes, throughout lockdown we engaged in some pretty bizarre (yet tasty) culinary challenges, but even though restrictions are lifting and we're venturing outside more often, these foodie trends are still storming our socials as often as a Kylie Jenner hair change – and the latest cooking craze is just as colourful.
​
Millions of people around the world are now whipping up cloud bread and sharing their colourful bakes on Instagram and Tik Tok. It's a super simple dessert bread that only requires four ingredients and, thanks to food colourings of your choice, can be made into a rainbow of different colours.

People have been taking to Instagram, TikTok and Facebook to showcase their delightfully smug isolation baths replete with bath bombs, candlesand comforting beauty buys. These are our tried-and-tested ways to perfecting the art of the lockdown bath when the weather is sh** outside and you want to feel cosy at home.
