25 Things to do by yourself + printable list

THINGS-TO-DO-BY-YOURSELF

I love spending time alone. As long as it doesn’t involve me leaving my house. Whenever Mark wants to go somewhere where I know we can expect crowds I always tell him: “but… but there are people there and I’ll have to interact and stuff“.

curél hydra therapy wet skin moisturizer

This post was created in partnership with Curél®, a KAO Worldwide brand. Here’s the thing: I love all seasons. Well… okay, so maybe I like summer juuuust a bit more than the rest (don’t we all?), but the truth is, there isn’t a time of year I particularly dread or don’t look forward to. When spring comes, everything around us starts to blossom; during summer, our days are longer and nights are warm. Fall brings the sweater weather and that crisp, fresh air we…
