The weekend is finally here, and if you’re looking for some fun ways to spend your time at home, we’ve got you covered! While it’s always great to go out and explore, sometimes staying in can be just as enjoyable, and easier on the pockets. Here’s our guide to having a good time when you’re spending the weekend at home…
Have a movie/series marathon

What better way to spend your weekend than by cuddling up on the couch and binge-watching a new series, or your favourite flicks? If you’re looking for a good series to get stuck in, we recommend watching The Lost Of Us on Showmax, it will have you at the edge of your seat. Watching one episode is simply not enough.
If you’re looking for a good movie, check out Bullet Train or The Strays on Netflix – they’re both worth the watch!
Get together for a game night

Gather your friends and family for a game night! This is always good fun, especially when there’s load shedding on the agenda. Gather a few of your favourite board games (we love Scrabble, Monopoly and Bananagrams) and make sure you stock up on the essentials (snacks, of course!) You can’t go wrong with a game night, or arvie!
Get creative

During the week, for the most part, our brains are focused on getting through work and maintaining the elusive work-life balance. On the weekend, it’s a good idea to get stuck into something creative that you really enjoy. Rest your mind and take a back seat on the responsibilities. Bust out your dusty painting set, or crack on with a DIY project!
Self-care spa day

Who says you need to leave the house to feel pampered? Create your own DIY spa day at home by taking a long bath, doing a face mask, and giving yourself a mani or pedi. For an extra touch of luxury, light up some of your favourite candles and throw on a playlist with your favourite tracks. If you’re partial to a drink or two, bust out the bubbly! Why not?
Try a new recipe

We’re not saying you should spend your entire weekend in the kitchen, but trying out a new recipe could be fun! Even if it’s a quick snack you can throw together in a few minutes, or a hearty meal for Sunday lunch. There’s something relaxing to throwing on a playlist of Bueno Vista Social Club, pouring yourself a glass of wine and planning a meal for yourself and your loved ones to enjoy.
