Being away from your BFFs can be super hard, especially during times like this when you can’t catch a weekend flight to see them. So, what do you do to stay connected with your long-distance besties when you can’t see them? Here are a couple of super sweet ideas.
1. Zoom Party
While office Zoom calls can be a task, logging in and enjoying a movie with your best friends over the platform could actually be a great way to spend a safe Friday night. Just curl up with some butter popcorn, a cup of your favourite Dalgona coffee and a big tub of chocolate ice cream. Get binging!
2. Sweet Surprises
Grab your phone and send your BFF’s favourite sweet treat over to her. There’s no shortage of food delivery services that will help you send over a pastry or a scoop of ice cream, especially when they’re feeling a little low.
3. Bake Along
Is there anything better than spending a weekend baking? We think not! The only thing that could make it better is spending it with your best friend over video call, baking the very same recipe. Pick a simple summer recipe and gather your ingredients for a fun afternoon of gossip, sweetness and fun. And if there’s ever a kitchen mishap, you have someone to laugh it off with.
4. Text Thread
Technology to the rescue! Start a group on WhatsApp to keep the gang close and informed of all the goings on in everyone’s lives. Stay updated with photos, texts, voice messages and even the occasional shared playlist for absorb all the ‘vibes’ together.
5. Go all Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
Pick a piece of clothing you and your bestie love which you can share, sending it back and forth to have experiences in, making it a physical manifestation of every adventure you have. You’ll also have great stories to tell when you meet each other again.
So, what are you waiting for? Go on and make plans with your gang to get together virtually and spend some sweet, quality time together.
