A lot of us are stuck at home right now and I figured some of you might be looking for some cosy activities. So I made six free colouring pictures for you! They can be downloaded for free and either printed at home or coloured digitally. ❤️ Link to DeviantArt where you can download the pics! Note: Free download applies only to personal, non-commerical use. Commercial use is not allowed. If you share the images, please keep the artist credits below each image. Thank you! p.s. Take care, stay safe and remember social distancing!

#Isolation doesn't have to be culture-free!

[bored-as-shit-boia]

Small self-care things to do right now if you’re feeling the quarantine out-of-sorts:

- Have you brushed your teeth today? I always find this makes a huge difference to how fresh I’m feeling, especially on pyjama days!

- Have you brushed your hair? Go gentle at the back, there may be a knot lurking where you’ve slept on it! (Learn from my mistakes, friend. Learn from my mistakes. ^^; )

- Put on some hand lotion. We’re all washing our hands a lot more, so make sure to take extra care of your skin!

- Have you stretched your legs recently? While we’re all stuck inside, chances are we’re sitting down a lot more than usual. Try standing up and marching in place for a little while. Lift those knees up!

- Pay yourself a compliment. Did you make someone smile recently? Did you do something nice for your pet? Good for you!

- Listen to an upbeat piece of music. THIS cover of ‘Wake Me Up’ is one of my personal favourites!

- Don’t be too hard on yourself. This is a scary time, and we’re all just coping the best we can. You probably won’t feel like your ‘best self’ right now, and that’s okay! Just take it one step at a time, and start with the basics to get yourself through the day. 

Stay home, stay safe, and reach out if you need to. You’re making a difference, you’re saving lives. Together, we’ll get through this. <3

Self Quarantine Activities 🌿✨🕊

•clean your makeup brushes- during this time give some love to your skin and go makeup free! Sanitize all your brushes/sponges and organize your beauty setup

•marie kondo your whole house- go through every closet, every drawer, every room and throw out what you don’t need anymore! Very soothing and you’re minimizing your items. Consider even donating these things to a loval shelter!!

•pick up a new hobby- learn how to do that hobby that you’ve always been fascinated by whether it’s crocheting, sewing, drawing, playing an instrument, or starting a puzzle; now is the best time

•begin at home exercising- there is an abundance of tutorials on youtube for just about anything, including exercising! Practice some yoga or in home cardio. Do some pushups and squats, do some burpees and sit-ups, dance even! It’s important to remain physically active while you are being cooped up in home

•start a journal- find an old notebook and create a journal! For me, I really love bujo journals. Track your sleep schedule, your acts of kindness, movies you’ve watched, your mood, anything really! I’ve found so many cute DIY template pages on Pinterest of journaling ideas. I add lots of detail and it passes time while being very cathartic

•read- for many people, the #1 reason why they don’t read is because they have no time. Now, there’s plenty of time! Pick up a new book or an old book and dive in. I like to take notes of what I’m reading to find a deeper meaning of the story, and then research about those themes. You don’t have to do all that, but certainly crack open a book and lose yourself between the words

•have a spa day- take a nice bath, light some candles, grab a drink, play some music and relax. Maybe exfoliate or give yourself a pedicure. Wear a cute robe and slippers and simply unwind

•watch a movie w a friend- if you miss your friends or SO, and wish you could just be with them and watch your favorite movie together, Google Chrome has an extension where you and another person can watch the same Netflix show together at the same time. It also comes w a chatrokm where you can share your live reactions to the program. Here is a tutorial on how to access this:

•write letters- write a letter to a friend, a family member, an old friend, an enemy, your SO, your past self, your pet, anyone or anything really. Just write something that you’d like them to know. It’s up to you whether or not to send these but I find it to be rather enjoyable bc I’m clearing my mind and getting things off my chest.

•make a silly video- do a dance, do an impression, create a skit, or give your take on something and video tape it! Send it to friends or upload it to a platform like TikTok or YouTube. Just have fun!

•rearrange your room- move your furniture around and create a new blueprint for your room! It’s something new and it can be time consuming.

This is all the activities I have that I think will cure your boredom and are also beneficial to your health! Please be safe and wash your hands. If you HAVE to go into public, bring a hand sanitizer or wear latex gloves. Please practice social isolation and be smart and safe!

try a new recipe. use up ingredients close to expiry to avoid waste!

start a project. build that birdhouse you’ve been thinking about, or start that big painting you didn’t have time for previously. learn to play a new song.

“I’d love to stop watching TV, but you cancelled school!”

aka, YouTube series to binge when you’re stuck indoors and you’d like to learn a little something.

ART!

Lindsay Ellis’ entire YouTube channel. It’s like film school for people who can’t afford film school.

Here she is teaching you about film theory… via the Transformers movies.

Here she is talking about the ways the potrayals of various characters have changed and developed over the years.

It’s Lit! A series hosted by Lindsay Ellis in collaboration with PBS, about reading, writing, and the publishing industry.

Brows Held High. Half comedy reviews, half artistic and political analysis of “highbrow” films – often both at once.

Also he has talked about Shakespeare a LOT. Like, so much, you guys.

ThugNotes. Advertised as “classic literature, original gangster.” Sparky Sweets, PhD, summarizes and analyzes some books you may have heard of.

Terrible Writing Advice. Teaching you how to write by telling you how not to write.

Maven of the Eventide. A very nerdy goth lady reviews vampire-focused content, and has thus talked quite a lot about the history of the vampire genre and how it’s developed over the centuries. It’s so awesome. She also has really cute kids who show up sometimes!

SCIENCE!

Sexplanations. One very smart lady answers all your sex ed questions. Yes, even that one.

Tibees. A PhD student explains physics and math… in the style of Bob Ross, baking videos, and shitposts.

Cool Worlds. Videos about astronomy and space and other planets, for when you want to think about how small you are.

Minute Physics. Complicated scientific ideas, in short, easy to digest videos.

SciShow: Hank Green and friends tackle serious scientific queries, like, “Why don’t we just throw trash into volcanoes?”

HISTORY!

Ruining History. Shane Madej infodumps about salacious periods in history that were left out of the books. People have always been weird, y’all.

On that note: Puppet History! It’s a new one, but it’s a lot like Ruining History, but with puppets and songs, too.

BuzzFeed Unsolved: True Crime. If I get mysteriously murdered with no leads, Ryan and Shane are the only people allowed to talk about it. 

Also Supernatural often has some interesting historical tidbits.

MISCELLANEOUS CRAP!

Adam Ruins Everything. One very earnest, very nerdy man annoys his friends and family by debunking common misconceptions about everything from chemistry to the TSA to the funeral industry.

Last Week Tonight. Comedy news program hosted by a sad British man in America. Depending on the episode, you might see him get in a jockstrap-related feud with Russel Crowe, troll the FCC with robocalls, or interview Edward Snowden. Constantly wastes HBO’s money on stupid shit. Always funny, always informative, and he hates Trump SO. GODDAMN. MUCH.

Defunctland. Our host Kevin gives us the rundown on theme park attractions, and sometimes whole parks, that don’t exist anymore – how they were developed, and why they ultimately shut down.

He also has a side-series about kids’ TV shows that don’t exist anymore.

And a miniseries about the works of Jim Henson.

Daily Moth. American news given in ASL, with full English transcripts.

Ali Abdaal. A Cambridge grad talks about life has a junior doctor, and how to study and work more effectively.

Feel free to add!
