Quarantine Date Ideas - The At Home Romance

Raise your hands if you think this has been the worst year! ✋🏻 (count me in it)

With such a year, there are so many problems to think about, Your job, rent, children, your future!

Somewhere I believe we let our relationships take a backseat, since we always think they are here to stay. You might argue, Who can think about romance in the middle of a pandemic?

Well, I believe you should!

Think about your relationships like a sapling. You need to provide the love and nourishment for it to flourish. You need to take efforts to keep it alive and healthy! If you are going to end up spending your 365 days of year 2020 at home, you better start thinking about making this life interesting.

Dating might not strictly qualify as “essential business” during this pandemic, but it is still important to the health of your relationship, even long after you’ve tied the knot. Maintaining a romantic connection invigorates a relationship, and there’s no better way to maintain a connection than by continuing to “date” each other.

For many couples, having a date night is the last thing on our weary minds, so here are some ideas on how you can intentionally spend some quality time with your better half during this strange time without breaking the bank or leaving your home.

Lets Date during Quarantine and Here's How!

1. Enjoy Free Concerts

Tons of artists are offering free virtual concerts in light of the pandemic, which you can watch right from home! Billboard, NPR, CNN, and several other websites and broadcasting companies are offering comprehensive lists with available virtual concerts.

There are choices from all genres: pop, rock, country, jazz, classical, etc. Grab a few drinks with your significant other, add a few of your favorite snacks, and enjoy a cozy concert experience!

2. Get Fit Together

Okay! I agree this is difficult but not impossible!

Add this as a task to be done together. There is nothing more fun than taking interest in each others fitness. Working out together in this way can be great for bonding and encouraging one another during this time. After your class, share a smoothie or a coffee together over video and catch up.

There are so many apps but my personal favorite is Home Workout App, Go running or walking together around your neighborhood or a local park (keeping six feet between you and others obviously)

3. Host a Dance Party

Nobody is watching in your very own Club Quarantine, so blast your favorite band, artist, or song and have a dance battle. Or, Bring in DJ Physical Therapy in the house.

4. It's Spa Day

Quick Question: You are at your home 24/7 but are you truly relaxed? Reserve a weekend for you and your partner for your special Spa day.

You and your partner can throw on some slippers and bathrobes, and make a night of it. Put on mud masks. Slide into a hot bubble bath. Give each other some nice relaxing massages.

I have recently bought a Pure Nanosteamer which has taken our Spa experience to another level.It does come with a hot towel compartment as well as facial tools. I do recommend to get one of these, but yes, be sure to be buy Distilled water for this product.

5. The Drunk Art!

Trust me this is going to be a good one!

Get some wine, pick a topic or theme, and paint or draw something. No judgment. Just time to be silly and try something new. You can also head to YouTube and find a painting tutorial to follow. Once your work is done, hang them up!

This is year is difficult, and the first think to work through this year is about acceptance. Yes! it's difficult and now all we answer the question is: Well than what are you going to do about it?

Nikola Valenti is going to be here throughout this difficult time and we are going to see how are we going to make this time exciting!
