Learn How to Make Coffee Like a Pro
Tired of your everyday homemade cup of coffee? Are you missing the coffee cups that you used to drink from various cafes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? We’ve come to you with a solution! You can make homemade coffee just like that of coffee shops. The secret recipe, dears, lies in the way of making it! Those simple steps will make your daily cup of coffee more delicious:
- Do not boil the same water repeatedly. That’s because, over-boiled water changes in taste for losing more of its oxygen atoms.
- Use premium ground coffees like the Ethiopian coffee, instead of instant coffee.
- Add boiled, not cold milk, into the cup of coffee.
- You can add artificial flavors such as vanilla or caramel, or blend in hazelnut powder with the coffee.
Watch Movies and Series
You can watch movies and series either alone or with the family while having a bowl of popcorn or sweets. At these difficult times, it is best to avoid movies that bring sadness to you.
Exercise at Home
You should focus on home activities and exercise while staying at home and practicing social distancing according to the Saudi coronavirus quarantine rules in order to avoid excessive weight gain during this period, and the fact that exercise gives a “happy” feeling for those who experience stress. If you don’t have any sports equipment at home, you can browse YouTube sports channels to find easy home-based exercises.
Take care of yourself
This activity is intended for women and girls. You can perform it alone or with your daughter by making skincare masks using household ingredients. Such ingredients include milk, honey, and cucumber slices. You can also have a Moroccan bath and massage sessions while adding an aromatic fragrance to the water. Also, while not being able to go to the salon these days, you can polish your nails and style your hair for a new change at home.

Artwork is not limited to drawing with a pencil and paper only! You can also enjoy wall painting or decorating the doors. As part of your personal artwork, you can also start home handicrafts like sewing dolls or drawing on plates as wall displays. With all that, you may possess the talent of an artist inside you and become a global artist someday!
