Plan ideas for your weekend at home

In this cold weather, who wants to go outside? Better to stay warm at home with fun, entertaining plans. The best thing on rainy or cold days is to enjoy the warmth of home.

A weekend at home in your pajamas. That will recharge anyone!

Here's a fun fact. Did you know that the Danes call this tradition as Hygge?

For them, staying at home by the fireplace or with a glass of mulled wine is a way of life. This way, they can enjoy the little things like hot chocolate or mulled wine, TV on the sofa, or a little reading by the fire.

Does this have anything to do with Denmark being known as one of the happiest countries in the world? Who knows!

As British author Helen Russell says, “The rest of the world seems to be gradually realizing what the Danes have known for generations: that spending relaxed, cozy time with friends and family, sipping coffee with cake or beer, can be good for the soul.”

If that's so, we will try out this Danish tradition that's so popular in any country. That's why today we're proposing a few ideas to spend the weekend at home by yourself or with family. Keep reading!

1. A movie, a blanket, and the sofa. Time for you.

The couch is an important part of every home. Second to bed, this is the place where we like to spend the most time.

Choose your couch carefully - one as comfortable as possible! Soft, warm blankets will be an essential for your series and movie marathon. Your best friend in the cold!

Getting home from work, taking off your shoes, and flopping down on the couch is one of the best feelings. That much we're sure of!  A Sunday is all the better.

Make time for yourself and take advantage of days off to rest and recover your energy. Meditate, disconnect, think about yourself, or take the time to read that book that you've been putting off for so long.

2. Cook your favorite recipes.

Bring out your creative side and become a professional chef. Take advantage of the time you don't usually have during the week to prepare your meals.

Time is one of the big weak spots for people who work outside the home all day. There comes a point where every piece of tupperware looks the same to you. That's why a weekend at home is the perfect time to organize your weekly menu.

This way, your diet will be much more balanced and healthier since you won't fall into the temptation of ready-made meals.

Here are some tips:

• Plan your menu for every work day so you don't have to waste time during the week thinking about what to cook. For that, weekly planning is more than ideal.

• Make a good shopping list. Organize your fridge and check your drawers before leaving to write down everything you need based on the meals you plan. That way, you will not only save time at the supermarket: you will also avoid falling into temptations.
