Home sweet home
... or maybe not
These days, due to the COVID19 emergency, we are all confined to the house.
After the flashmobs on the balconies, the spring cleaning and the great sleeps, boredom has arrived.
Since the situation cannot be changed at the moment, the only thing to do is find the right way to pass the time.
What to read
Closed libraries and libraries? No fear! Today, books are digital and can be downloaded and read anywhere.
Here is the list of our 5 best off digital.

Instagram marketing: strategies and rules in influencer marketing
Ilaria Barbotti – Hoepli
Instagram is one of the constantly growing social networks and there are many companies that look to this channel to promote themselves with their marketing strategies.
Ninja Manual of Web Marketing

The purple cow
Seth Godin – Sperling & Kupfer

Growth hacking is one of the most used marketing practices by digital companies. This manual collects theoretical and organizational principles combining them with numerous examples and case studies taken from different sectors explaining in detail the main types of tricks for acquiring, activating, retaining and monetizing customers.
The Road to React
Robin Wieruch
A simple and updated manual to learn this new language, invented by Facebook and today very popular for the creation of web apps. You will find not only the fundamentals but also advanced features such as client-home and server-side dynamics.
What to watch
If you haven’t already activated Netflix, this is the right time to do it. 30-day trial to discover top series such as La Casa de Papel, Black Mirror or The Umbrella Academy.
Among the pay TVs, Sky has tried to console subscribers by unblocking all the packages for the month of March. Users were thus able to watch films, children’s entertainment channels and documentaries for free without subscribing to the full offer.

If you have Amazon Prime, you have free access to Amazon Prime Video, a library of videos and TV series.
We recommend the film The Circle which we have already told you about in this article and the docu film by the influencer Chiara Ferragni (you have surely heard of).
One of the surprises of this quarantine is Disney Plus, a streaming channel dedicated to Disney animated series and films. With a really affordable annual subscription cost, it could be your lifesaver if you’re a Star Trek fan or have pestiferous little devils at home.
What to listen to
Spotify is certainly the most famous platform to accompany your home hours with music.
In this quarantine, in addition to hundreds of playlists divided by genre and artist, you can find among the trend topics the best songs for cleaning, training, concentrating and going to sleep … Let yourself be lulled by the sounds of nature.

What to eat
One of the challenges these days is booking groceries.
If you do not want (or cannot) go out, there is no other way to stock up on supplies than by using home delivery services. All food delivery companies have run for cover, expanding their network of riders and adding new features.
Cortilia, for example, asked us to implement the access queue in recent weeks that allows users to put themselves in the waiting list for the first available delivery.

If you love to cook, there are tons of sites to get inspiration from for recipes and practical tips.
For the occasion, Stringhetto also opened a new column dedicated to recipes, strictly based on spreads and fruit compotes!
If, on the other hand, you want to get back in shape by eating healthy, on Bios Line you will find dozens of super healthy recipes.
But above all… What happened to the brewer’s yeast ?!
If you are tired of the usual dishes, many catering companies have activated the delivery service both via apps such as Deliveroo, Gloovo or Just Eat and independently.
It is an excellent opportunity to discover local restaurants, pastry shops and pizzerias.
Training time
The temptation to spread out on the sofa is very strong … But don’t give in to laziness!
30 minutes a day of physical activity are enough to keep your metabolism from hibernating permanently.
Lots of gyms are offering online workouts through live shows on Instagram and Facebook.
If you are feeling more adventurous, you can try one of the many training apps. Several of these have activated or extended the trial period, such as the Yoga | app Down Dog.

For the little ones
If you are already juggling smart working and household chores, but you also have children at home, you can try to have a few minutes of breath by downloading interactive and educational apps such as Bimi Book Kids with 15 games for children up to 5 years, Memory game for Children or SpuQ to learn the multiplication tables.
If you want to spend your time creatively, many sites offer the possibility to download coloring pages for free. On Hurray Heroes you can create your own with your child as the protagonist!
Are you still homesick for the office? Go to imisstheoffice.eu and listen to the noises of colleagues, printers, coffee machines. You will feel like you are sitting at your desk!
