Things to do at home during quarantine

 

Christ has risen! Happy Easter to all who are celebrating the Orthodox Easter!

We hope you are okay and you had an amazing weekend. For us, it’s our first Easter spent without our family, we chose not to go home and follow the social distancing rules. Anyway, we’re grateful because we are together, we know that many of you are alone in this quarantine and it’s even harder. We complemented each other’s work- in cleaning but also in the preparation of the Easter meal 🙂 We’re really proud of how we did it, even our parents congratulated us on our meal, they said everything looks amazing!

Besides cooking, working, watching movies, taking online social media courses and reading a lot of books, in this quarantine we also managed to set up a nice little corner for photos and videos.

We wanted a background for photos for a long time and two years ago we bought from eBay a backdrop stand but we used it only a couple of times and then we abandoned it because it was very difficult to mount it and the whole process took so long.

When we discovered the Photowall site and we saw how wonderful are their products, we knew that this was the solution for us – a mural or a wallpaper that looks great and should not be mounted and dismantled every time you take pictures or videos. We spent hours on the website choosing our model because we had dozens of favorites and we couldn’t decide. Finally, we stuck to a flower pattern- Tropic Bouquet Multi– because you know how much we love flowers!

We chose to put it on a smaller surface because we didn’t know what it would look like, but  when we saw how beautiful it is, we regret that we didn’t put it on a bigger wall, where we have the couch.

Its application was quite easy and we did really well, although at first we were afraid that we would not know how to paste it, that there would be air bubbles under it or that we will not put it straight 🙂 All it takes is patience and planning, you don’t have to start the process until you carefully measure everything and draw the lines, you have a tutorial on the website to help and guide you.

Even if you don’t take photos or videos, you can still use such wallpaper to beautify a room, we find that it changes a lot the look of the room. We chose the premium version, so it’s also very easy to maintain.

If you decide to buy something from the site, we have a discount code for you: anothersideofme25   -you have 25% discount on any order and it’s valid until May 20th.

In addition to the Tropic Bouquet Multi wallpaper, we also got a frame- Botanical Floral Map Words. We hesitated a lot because we didn’t know what to choose from so many beautiful models, but we decided on this because it combines our great passions – travel and flowers.  At the moment we didn’t put it on the wall, we keep it on the desk because we don’t have screws/nails yet, but we can’t wait to fix it above the desk when we get out of quarantine.

So, in this quarantine we’ve discovered some new skills and clearly from now on we’re more confident in our own forces 🙂

What new things have you tried in quarantine?

RO :

Hristos a Inviat! Speram ca sunteti bine si ca ati avut ieri o zi linistita si frumoasa. La noi a fost primul Paste pe care l-am petrecut fara familie, am ales sa nu mergem acasa si sa respectam regulile de distantare sociala.

Oricum, suntem recunoscatoare pentru ca suntem amandoua, stim ca multi dintre voi sunteti singuri in carantina si e mult mai greu. Noi ne-am completat reciproc la curatenie, dar si la pregatirea mesei de Paste 🙂 Suntem chiar mandre de cum ne-am descurcat, chiar si parintii ne-au felicitat pentru masa pregatita.

O vorba din batrani spune ca „Nevoia te invata” si e cat se poate de adevarat. In afara de faptul ca am lucrat, am urmat cateva cursuri de social media si am citit foarte multe carti in acasta carantina, am reusit sa ne amenajam si un mic coltisor dragut pentru fotografii.

Ne doream de multa vreme un fundal pentru fotografii si acum vreo doi ani ne-am luat de pe Ebay un fundal si suport pentru el, insa l-am folosit de vreo doua-trei ori si apoi l-am abandonat pentru ca era foarte greu de montat si dura foarte mult intreg procesul.

Cand am descoperit site-ul Photowall si am vazut ce minunatii au, am stiut ca asta e solutia pentru noi- un mural sau un tapet care arata extraordinar si nu trebuie montat si demontat de fiecare data cand faci poze sau filmezi. Am petrecut ore in sir pe site pentru a alege modelul pentru ca aveam zeci de preferate si nu ne puteam decide. In cele din urma, am ramas la un model cu flori- Tropic Bouquet Multi– pentru ca stiti cat adoram florile!

Am ales sa il punem pe o suprafata mai mica pentru ca nu stiam cum va arata, insa acum, cand l-am vazut cat e de frumos, parca regretam ca nu am pus pe peretele mare, unde avem canapeaua. Aplicarea lui a fost destul de usoara, ne-am descurcat chiar bine, desi la inceput ne era teama ca nu o sa stim sa il lipim, ca o sa ramana bule de aer pe sub el  sau ca o sa il punem stramb 🙂 E nevoie doar de rabdare si de planificare, nu trebuie sa incepeti procesul pana cand nu masurati atent totul si nu trasati liniile, aveti pe site si un tutorial care sa va ajute.

Chiar daca nu faceti poze sau video-uri, tot puteti apela la un astfel de tapet pentru a infrumuseta o camera, ni se pare ca schimba mult aspectul si arata foarte frumos. Noi am ales varianta lavabila, deci e si foarte usor de intretinut.

Daca doriti sa va cumparati ceva de pe site, avem si un cod de reducere pentru voi: anothersideofme25, aveti discount 25% la orice comanda si e valabil pana pe 20 mai.

In afara de tapetul Tropic Bouquet Multi, ne-am mai luat de pe site si un tablou, Botanical Floral Map Words. Si aici am ezitat mult pentru ca, bineinteles nu stiam ce sa alegem dintre atatea modele frumoase, insa ne-am hotarat asupra acestuia care imbina marile noastre pasiuni- calatoriile si florile.  Momentan pe acesta nu l-am pus pe perete, il tinem pe birou pentru ca nu avem inca suruburi/cuie, insa abia asteptam sa il fixam deasupra biroului cand vom iesi din carantina.

Deci, in carantina asta ne-am mai descoperit niste skill-uri noi si clar de acum incolo suntem mai increzatoare in fortele proprii 🙂

Voi ce lucruri noi ati mai incercat in carantina?
