Bored? Not Anymore.

There is a thunderstorm outside and your stuck at home. You're alone and you just can't seem to find anything you want to do. Basically, you are bored out of your mind. Whether it raining or sunny, here are 10 things to help rid your boredom;

1. Watch A Romantic Movie | In my opinion, watching a comedy is funnier with friends and watching a scarier movie is scarier with companions. But, you can always watch a romantic movie on your own, which is a great way to kill some time. If you are not sure which romantic movie to pick, check out this post.                                                                                                   2. Catch Up On A TV Show or Start A New One | You have had too much work on your back lately, or you just haven't been home too much, so now is a great time to catch up with that TV show. If you are already caught up, I've always liked starting new ones. You kill time because you would have to watch at the least a season or two. If you are not sure what new TV show you should watch, check out this post.
3. Redo Yourself | Another great way to kill time, is to take some time for yourself. Take a nice long bubble bath with all your best salts and oils. Then give yourself a facial and redo you nails. Be creative and choose a color, or colors, you haven't used before. For new ways to decorate your nails check out many of ALPHA's posts under Colors and Curls.      
                          
4. Reorganize Your Photo Albums | I don't mean your albums on your iPhoto, I mean those REAL photo albums with actual printed pictures. Parents can get lazy about such things and just throw pictures in piles. Reorganizing them may sound like a long job, but looking the photos will leave you reminiscing, bringing back fun memories.  

5. Fashion Show | You may have a closet full of clothes, but you always wear the same ones in the same ways. Why not try to mix and match a little. Dig deep into your closet and create matches you haven't done before. This way on mornings before school, you don't have to waste your time trying to find something new to wear and then realize you are going to be late so you just throw on what you wore last week. Check out this post to see what is in this fall and winter.

6. Bake | Is there a family event coming up soon? Or even a friends birthday? Sometimes baking cookies or a cake is a great present because its personal and delicious. Now that you have the time, you might as well try it. Even if there is no event coming up, why not surprise your family with cupcakes for dinner? Check out this post on Alpha's favorite dessert recipes.

7. Rearrange Your Room | I bet you are tired of the way your room looks, and you never really liked your bed near the window anyways, so why not change it. When you have nothing to do its the perfect because this job takes up time. Rearranging your room can be fun because its refreshing to see it in a different way.                                              

 8. Clean Your Room | You may not want to but your parents have been bugging you for weeks, so you might as well. Cleaning your room might not be as bad as you think, (I am not talking about moping and dusting because that is bad). I am talking about going through your drawers and closets and getting rid of the thing you don't need. You may be surprised how much junk you can have in one room, and all the new space you will have in your closet makes a good excuse to fill it up with a new shopping spree.

9. Workout | An at home work out is always exhausting and fun.
 It is great because you can do it in your own room or living room and you can burn tons of calories. You can find a lot of things on youtube, or maybe even the old ones your mom used to use in your movie cabinet. Doing a home workout video one day when your bored is a great start, try to continue it at least three times a week.

10. Go Online Shopping | If you can't go outside to the mall to shop, why not do it on your computer. After all, you did just clear out your closet and its about time you get a new wardrobe. It is a nice feeling when you get something new, so if your bored why not? Check out this post to see what is in this fall and winter.


Love,
