Pretty up the pantry
Ever wanted to be one of those people with perfectly organised pantry, well now is the time. With supermarket in chaos and limits on grocery items its time look through the dark depths of your pantry and experiment with items you didn’t even know you had. The purpose is so nothing goes to waste or reaches its expiry date. With more home time comes more to find cook. You may choose to transfer rice and pasta sugar etc into quality air tight containers. Once they are unified you can use the space in your pantry more effectively and keep the containers neatly on display – show of your organisation. Don’t be afraid to label anything either, it’s all about knowing what you have accessible and what you need more of so you don’t double up.
Re-order your wardrobe
We know you have been putting it off for months, now there is literally no excuse to get it done. There is nothing more rewarding than when it’s over! And the best part is, the only clothes we are recycling at the moment is PJs, track pants and athleisure so chances are your new neat wardrobe will be like that for a while. First things first – cull. Anything faulty or you haven’t looked twice at in 12 months. If you have grown apart from someone your clothes get a ‘donate’ pile happening or make a few extra dollars on Facebook Marketplace. For those who really want to take the overhaul to the next level, this is a good opportunity to colour coordinate, coat hanger match and separate by seasons.
