Four Virtual Activities to Try

Because There's a First Time for Everything
While practicing social distancing, you may want to challenge yourself to try things you haven’t before, as immersing yourself in new projects or hobbies is a stellar way to ignite dormant interests and passions. In a Shea home, you’ll find livable luxury and innovative design — perfect for encouraging you and your family to be adventurous in your pursuit of unfamiliar experiences. Read on for inspiring activities you can do over and over — virtually, of course.

Host a Virtual Happy Hour
When you’re not using Zoom or FaceTime for your morning meetings, gather your pals for a virtual happy hour. Swap killer recipes for Margarita Monday and enjoy a relaxing evening of catching up online. “Share” a tasty bottle of wine by sending your coworkers, friends, or family members a gift certificate to their local bottle shop. Your loved ones will appreciate the thoughtful surprise come Wine Wednesday. If you’re jonesing for an authentic post-work happy hour experience, you’ll have a blast building a charcuterie board or making classic bar snacks in a gorgeous kitchen from Shea Homes.

Break a Cyber Sweat
When you buy a Shea home, you’ll find it easy to stick to your workout routine. Spacious floorplans provide plenty of room for you and your family to spread out during your exercise time. Online, you’ll find dozens of family-friendly workouts you can do together. To keep you fueled — and stave off those pesky midnight munchies — whip up healthy homemade snacks that you can enjoy pre- or post-workout.

Learn a New Language
Keep your resolution to learn a new language in 2020 by experimenting with apps, computer software, virtual clubs, and more to develop your foreign language skills. Put your multitasking skills to use and hop on FaceTime or Zoom to challenge your friends to stick to a lesson plan. Progressing through your language program is more fun — and easier — when a buddy is also invested. Opt for a stunning Shea home that includes a private study: You’ll love being able to study, read, or work in the comfort of a quiet and inviting space.

Master a Perfect Floral Arrangement
While social distancing, take time to reconnect with nature by learning how to construct a breathtaking floral arrangement. Another activity you can do with friends via a digital connection is browsing tutorials and how-to guides to learn about the required materials and master the basics. Plant a beautiful garden with tips from a MasterClass — or get creative with paper flower arrangements — to add life and color to your patio, yard, or kitchen counter.
