]]>Safety Rules
Ice rinks around the world are operating under limited capacity right now, with clear safety guidelines in place. If you decide to visit them, make sure you’re staying six feet apart from other visitors, and sanitize your hands and equipment. Also, don’t forget it’s highly recommended to wear a face-covering, especially if you’re ice skating indoors.

You can also do your own part in avoiding the crowds. Ice rinks usually tend to be packed in the afternoon, and you should try to avoid peak hours. If your local ice rinks are open in the mornings, show up as early as possible, and try to skip the weekends altogether.
Come Prepared
Ice rinks are usually operating at under 50% of their usual capacity, and that’s why it’s a good idea to book your session if possible. You’ll save a lot of time and energy this way, and if you happen to have your own skates and hamlet, now’s a better time than ever to bring them along.

]]>Blankets and Cushions
No picnic is complete without a nice big blanket. If you want a matching look, choose a blanket that is in a neutral shade like white or black. It will match any cutlery or plates that you use. You may even want to have extra blankets on hand if you want to snuggle up with your special someone. A couple of cushions to sit on or to simply lounge against, is a good idea.
The Table
Since you’re inside, it’s okay to use a coffee table or another low hanging table to spread your feast out on. Just remember to decorate it nicely, with a runner, platters of delicious food, and wine glasses. No romantic picnic is complete without some nice wine or a sparkling beverage.
Music
Another great thing about picnicking inside and enjoying the warmth of a heater is the fact that you can have some music playing. Pull out your Bluetooth speaker and create a playlist with all of your favorite tunes. This will further add to the ambiance of your lovely evening with a significant other.

]]>Crucial Info
The first step of planning your socially distant museum visit is checking if the museum you want to visit is open in the first place since many closed their doors due to COVID-19.
Avoid the Tours
Museum visits with a licensed guide can be very informative and fun, but exploring the exhibits on your own is a much better option than joining a group of tourists.
Follow the Rules
Wearing a face covering and abiding the social distancing rules is a must everywhere you go, and museums are no exception.
Time Your Visit
To avoid the crowds, you should consider visiting the museum early in the morning when the least people are around. If you think that spending hours indoors with your mask on will be too challenging, plan what you want to see in advance.
Virtual Tours
If all of this sounds like too much work, you can try visiting museums from the comfort of your home. Many of them offer virtual tours that you can enjoy without going out.

]]>Establish Boundaries
While you may love spending time with your other half, being at home together 24/7 can ignite irritation. If you’re both working remotely, make sure you have your own personal space. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for alone time when you need it.
Have a Netflix Party
We wrote about it in another article, but in case you missed it, back in March, Google Chrome has added an extension called Netflix Party that allows you to watch programs on Netflix at the same time as family and friends without being in the same house.
Schedule Virtual Dates
Take a break by video chatting with your friends and family with tools like Zoom, Google Hangouts, and Skype. Staying connected and knowing you’re not alone is important during these times.
Workout at Home
If you’re new to working out at home, YouTube is a great place to start as there are a plethora of workout videos available. Also, many gyms are streaming classes online, so they’re really something out there for everyone.

]]>We live, work, eat, and sleep at the same place and so do our family members and pretty much all our neighbors, so it’s no wonder we’re all tired of this dynamic.
But things get even worse when your neighbors are being noisy. Imagine you have to work but all you can hear is the noise from the apartment above you. How can you deal with that?
Nobody finds confronting the neighbors easy. You have to have an awkward conversation that may not even solve the problem, but it’s the first thing you should try. If you’re lucky, a conversation will be enough. If the neighbors are reasonable, they will understand the situation and keep the noise under control.
If you don’t know the neighbors or they don’t seem friendly, the task can seem daunting. However, if you don’t address the problem they may not even be aware that they’re too loud. Try to approach them without mentioning the problem first so you can set the tone and have a more relaxed conversation about noise later.

]]>Flip Your Space
Get creative with what you have and move your furniture around to different corners, your drapes to another room, and restyling your wall art. Your space will feel refreshed and new after you make these small changes.
Host a Date Night For One
Even if you’re the only one in your home, it’s nice to get dressed up, make a nice dinner, and to sip on some wine.
Do a Workout Video
Get active, take out the yoga mat, and watch a YouTube workout video. There are so many to choose from, but our personal favorite when it comes to variety is POPSUGAR FITNESS.
Make a Spa Date
Light some candles, play some soft music, and throw in a bath-bomb in your bath. After you’ve soaked up, apply a face mask, nail polish, and moisturizer. You’ll feel relaxed and pampered by the end of this.
Declutter Your Closet
We all have that closet that’s long overdue to be cleared out. Make it easier by putting everything in a pile and going through each item one by one to decide what to keep and what to donate.

]]>The post Social Distancing Party Idea: PowerPoint Party appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>What is a PowerPoint party? It’s basically a party where the attendees give presentations on the topics they choose. It absolutely doesn’t have to be boring, even though that’s most people’s first association with its name. You and your friends can prepare presentations on any topic that interests you, and can spice things up with drinking, fun questions, themed costumes, etc.
If you want to give a PowerPoint party a try, first find a group of people who would enjoy something like this. Explain to them what’s going on and discuss the dress code and the general guidelines. It’s best if you do this with a small group of people so that everyone gets a chance to do a short presentation. You can then discuss the topics. And once the pandemic is over, you can keep throwing these parties but do them in person instead of online!

]]>Keep Your Distance
When working out outside, it’s essential to keep at least six feet of physical distance. Try and find times that are less busy and places that have fewer people. If you see that people aren’t maintaining safe social distances, find a new place to workout.
Create Your Own Space and Keep it Clean
You can create your own mini gym by bringing your TRX trainers, resistance bands, and yoga mats to the park or playground. Make sure you have disinfectant wipes with you to wipe down surfaces before you use them.
Keep Workout Groups Small
Many of us prefer group fitness classes to working out on our own, and you can still do group classes while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Before you gather with friends, check to see the rules regarding gatherings from your state. Or you can join an outdoor class, which are being offered by many gyms and they’re usually good about sticking to health and safety practices.
Wear a Mask
The rules are a bit unclear regarding if you need to wear masks while exercising, but we suggest erring on the side of caution as face masks reduce the transmission of the coronavirus.

]]>Eat Something
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Well, it turns out that chocolate can release endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, which will boost your mood. So next time you feel down, eat a square or two of dark chocolate. If you prefer something savory, spicy foods have capsaicin and when you eat it, it sends a signal to your brain to relieve pain, which releases endorphins to make you feel good.
Smell Something
Smell has a major role in how we deal with stress and certain smells like vanilla, pine, and freshly cut grass can help you feel calmer.
Play Something
Music has the power to release emotions and the songs we listen to have a direct effect on the amount of dopamine released by our brain. Maybe that’s why we associate certain songs with breakups, romance, and happiness. The sounds of nature like rainstorms, babbling brooks, ocean waves, or wind rustling the leaves, will also help you relax.
