Tighten Your Apron & Get Cooking

What better way to ease the mood than food? We're sure you know how to cook but instead of always depending on restaurants for gourmet food, you can easily learn (the basics to begin with) how to cook dishes from your favourite cuisine. Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Asian, and Middle-Eastern, there are courses for all that.

Ace Those Calligraphy Strokes

It's time you make your own calligraphy time-lapse video. There are plenty of courses online that teach this beautiful art form and one such course is this. While the basics are easy to learn with practice, put your time to good use by learning how to write pretty letters. Writing invitations or making posters to do up your home?

Get it done with your new calligraphy skills. 

Learn The Artsy Form Of Journaling

Sometimes, it is important to collect ones thoughts to maintain mental positivity, and one of the ways to do that is journaling. It's not entirely similar to maintaining a dairy. Kaleido Journaling involves making beautiful patterns with colors that influence thoughts along with writing down all your thoughts. Sounds too hoity-toity? This course will take you through the process. All you need is a plain book, few colors, and your creativity.

Psst, it's also budget-friendly.

Sketch It Right

You don't have to scramble for supplies because this activity legit needs only a pencil and paper.
