Are you someone who enjoys being in your home for the majority of the day or in a secluded space to enjoy your time uninterrupted? Me too! Lately, quarantine and social distancing have been amplifying my inner introvert, and I’m ok with that, but I’ve been becoming idle with a lack of indoor activities to keep me entertained. If you have watched all the Netflix your heart can desire, grown tired of social media and people watching from your porch, I have just the thing for you!
