How to celebrate your birthday in confinement?

Containment obliges, it will be necessary to cancel the super party that you had planned for your birthday. If you are depressed about spending this day alone, rest assured, there are a few tips to take advantage of.

If like me, you are one of the lucky ones born in March, you will have to resign yourself to spending a somewhat special birthday. Of course, you hadn't exactly planned to celebrate it alone, but since plans have to be reviewed (confinement requires), this year will be a lonely anniversary. At least physically. Because there are indeed ways to keep in touch with your loved ones and even to party all together.

Pamper yourself

Take advantage of this day to take care of yourself. Do you want to spend the day in pajamas? No one will judge you. Now is the time to do whatever you love, without anyone having anything to say! Want to eat cornflakes at lunchtime? OKAY. To play SIMS all day? It's ok too. Take the opportunity to make yourself a mask, watch a movie or a series, listen to music thoroughly (beware of the neighbors all the same), in short, make you kiffer. After all, it's your birthday!

Prepare a homemade cake

Put yourself in the stove and prepare your favorite cake. If you are not a pastry pro, there are many easy and inexhaustible recipes that should delight you: yogurt or apple cake, madeleines, carrot cake, brownie, banana bread … There is no shortage of ideas . Are you lazy? Bring your travel certificate and go out and buy a dessert. And above all, don't forget the candles!

Flaunt yourself like never

Have you spent the day pampering yourself and hanging out in your pajamas? It's time to get ready. Rediscover your wardrobe and wear an evening outfit or whatever you dare never wear. You must have in your wardrobe a purchased outfit that you have never had the opportunity to put on. If you feel like it, you can also test a make-up worthy of the biggest fashion shows of Fashion Week (just take a look at Pat McGrath's account to find the inspiration). And then, no need to hurry, this time, nobody (or almost) is waiting for you …

Make a video with your friends

You are ready ? It's time to party with all your friends … from a distance! You just need to organize a video by Facetime, Skype or WhatsApp or via an application such as Houseparty, which allows you to meet up with friends on video. Invite them, launch your playlist, toast virtually and let the party begin.
