Number 2: ONLINE SHOPPING

Shopping has never been so comfortable: from the sofa, sipping an herbal tea with a purifying mask on the face. Spring is just around the corner and summer is coming: now that the shows are over it&#39;s time to buy the new seasonal trends, ready for when we go back to the office, to have an aperitif, for dinner, in the park. Here are some sites where you can give vent to the wildest online shopping, buying the pieces directly from the catwalks, or some vintage accessories.

Number 3: DO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (AT HOME)

The gyms are closed, but training can also be done at home. Turn on the music and give free rein to your imagination by dancing (if you&#39;re lucky you already have at home or you can order the pole dance pole com <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jS1aHpmcQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">@fktwigs online</a> ), jumping or simply trying to revive your board at home. And who says that training at home means doing it alone? Just follow the direct Instagram of the body coach Sara of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/postura.da.paura/?hl=it" target="_blank">@ postura.da.paura,</a> or of the fitness blogger <a href="https://www.instagram.com/silvia.fascians/?hl=it">@ silvia.fascians</a> to train in company, also following the advice of the blogger <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lmfl8qWmR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">@veronicaferraro</a> . There are numerous Home Workout youtube channels: POPSUGAR Fitness; Fitness Blender, MadFit. If, on the other hand, you want to try your hand at a discipline that is good for body and soul, Yoga With Adriene on Youtube is the right channel for you.

Number 4: STUDY

Organize a study group via Skype with your best friends, so you don&#39;t go back to school or college unprepared. And in case student life is just a distant memory, it&#39;s never too late to learn something new. For example the basics of a new language.

BBC Learning English is a Youtube channel that offers short and in-depth lessons on the English language: from beginner to advanced level. Learn French with FrenchPod101.com is a Youtube channel that allows you to learn the basics of French and many curiosities about the language. &iexcl;Aprende espa&ntilde;ol with Saby ! It is a Youtube channel where it is easy to approach the Spanish language through lessons and exercises.

Number 5: READ

Take advantage of reading a good book. Nowadays reading is more and more difficult so get a good book from the library or download an audio book. For sure you won&#39;t regret it! And if you want to read a new book, Mondadori and Adelphi have decided to make the ebooks in their catalog free. It will be possible to listen to podcasts on the Storytel platform or on Spotify or Amazon . You will also find on our website lofficielitalia.com the digital version of our paper magazine, which can now be downloaded for free or by subscribing to the newsletter.

Number 6: COOKING

The kitchen is a place where you can express your creativity even if you are not very good. Download a recipe, whether it&#39;s sweet or savory, it doesn&#39;t matter, the important thing is that something good comes out in the end, but don&#39;t let your brother / sister eat what you burned! Here are the Instagram profiles of Italian food bloggers where you can find simple and tasty recipes, and why not, cook with them during a live streaming: Giorgia from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cookthelook/?hl=it" target="_blank">@cookthelook</a> , Carlotta from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cucinabotanica/?hl=it" target="_blank">@cucinabotanica</a> for vegan recipes, Federica from <a href="http://https://www.instagram.com/cucinabotanica/?hl=it">@laregoladelpiatto</a> , the duo <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B9o_Z62oCcC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">@ gnambox</a> .

Number 7: DECLUTTERING

How many times have you looked at that ruined sweater you wore in high school that is now dusty at the bottom of your closet? The right word is &ldquo;decluttering&rdquo;: eliminate all the things you no longer need to save space and the time you waste looking for them. The perfect guide to decluttering is the book &quot;The Magical Power of Tidying&quot; by Marie Kondo and the Netflix series &quot;Tidying Up with Marie Kondo&quot;. I recommend! Throw away any clothes that aren&#39;t in your palette. To find out more, visit the Instagram profile of the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rossellamigliaccio_/?hl=it" target="_blank">armocromia</a> guru <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rossellamigliaccio_/?hl=it" target="_blank">@rossellamigliaccio_,</a> or read her book &ldquo;Armocromia&rdquo;.

Number 8: SETTING UP and DOING SMALL JOBS

Cleansing is a way to exercise and clear your mind. It is also a way to make your mother happy who always complains about the fact that you don&#39;t move a finger in the house, but if you live alone your house will surely thank you. Walls to be plastered, paintings to hang, small things to fix, leaky taps&hellip; How many things are there to do at home to make it more pleasant, welcoming and functional? Very often even changing the arrangement of some furniture can give a new character to the house.

This could be an opportunity to cut down on your long list of chores.

Number 10: STUDY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AND BOARD GAMES

Board games allow you to be together without leaving the house and are one of the most common remedies for fighting boredom. Involve your family, roommates or your partner and challenge yourself in a timeless competition, or learn to play a new musical instrument. Everyone likes music and knowing how to play an instrument is not only a huge personal pleasure, but also an extra opportunity to be exploited in all the social contexts in which you will find yourself. And if you don&#39;t have any musical instruments, have fun playing the glasses or try the Cup song&nbsp;or trying dancing to some music! The new Kylie Minogue Disco Music album or Little Mix&#39;s Confetti or any Britney Spears&#39;s song might do the work
