This post is not one of my typical rants because I am in a truly fabulous mood today and I do not feel particularly bother by anything tangible enough to rant about (as much as I would love to try to tackle the increasing sense of doom we’ve all felt since the Presidential Election). Soooo, in honor of Winter Storm Grayson, here’s a list of things you can do on your snow day:
25 Ways to Enjoy the Fact that You’re Snowed In
- Build an epic fort. Buzzfeed has a handy-dandy 5-step guide here
- Make some snacks, like these tasty as hell looking pretzel bites from Hot for Food
- Make a pitcher of scrumptious winter sangria to go with them
- Or if booze isn’t your thing, try out one of these sugar-coma inducing hot chocolate recipes
- Watch awesome snow-day movies, like my personal favorites Snow Day and Serendipity
- Better yet, devote the day to having a Harry Potter marathon
- Make sock puppets and reenact the Harry Potter Puppet Pals. Post a video so your friends can enjoy it too
- By now you probably need more snacks, so head to the kitchen and whip up some Avocado Hummus Taquitos or sushi
- Don’t forget to hydrate. This cider sounds heavenly.
- Write snail-mail letters to friends and get creative with the envelopes
- Take the leftover socks from your puppets and make a hand warmer to keep you toasty
- Plan a road trip you’ll take once the weather warms up. This list has tons of awesome apps to help you out
- Venture outside and build a super cool igloo like this one (see what I did there? hahaha)
- Might as well build a snowman or snowlady while you’re out there too
- Too cold to go outside? Can’t get out your front door because of a massive snow drift? Make this play snow instead
- Wanna be a little more productive (I don’t, but I don’t know what y’all are in to)? Take a stab at cleaning out your closet using this nifty guide
- If you’re on an organizing kick now, go ahead and work on your pantry too.
- Now that you’ve thoroughly tuckered yourself out playing and cleaning, take a little time to relax with a homemade face mask from the brilliant mind of Dear Chrissy
- While your face mask sets, mix a little body scrub to slough off all that dry winter skin
- About this time you probably need a something to satisfy your sweet tooth, so head to the kitchen for a quick treat
- What’s a champion like you with newly glowing skin and a sugar high supposed to do now? Make a music video of course!
- Not feeling creative enough to make a whole video? Download a karaoke app like this one and sing it out
- Next, make and complete your own obstacle course out of stuff around the house. Bonus points if you do this while tipsy from your tasty drinks earlier.
- Not challenging enough? Play one of these crazy fun board game inspired drinking games first
- You’ve had a seriously eventful snow day! Guess what’s left on this list? That’s right! Take yourself a well-earned nap in your fort.
