Activities for the cozy at heart

MINT STAFF

1. Teach yourself how to cook one meal really well. This way, in case someone asks you to bring a dish to a potluck, you can pull out your secret weapon and shock everyone with your “amazing cooking abilities.” However, don’t make your dish too good, or else you may be nominated as the go-to chef.

2. Deep-clean your apartment. It can get gross in the corners over the months, so take some time to vacuum. Did you know most vacuums come with a wand that can magically make nasty things in the corners go away? It’s pretty great. Also, if you clean hard enough, it can keep you warm.

3. Try a puzzle. They can be frustrating, especially if you have a cat who likes to step/sit on the puzzle and take pieces with them when they leave. They probably do it on purpose, cats are assholes. However, if you have all your pieces, puzzles can be relaxing and a good addition to that “Gilmore Girls” marathon.

4. Rearrange your room. No, this does not go in the cleaning category. A good redecoration can really change the feel of a room, and sometimes that small change will make your room a more enjoyable place to spend your time. If you’re feeling really ambitious, you can move on to the living room.
