Celebrating your birthday during lockdown

Birthdays and other special events might be melancholy under lockdown since you can't invite your friends, and you can't have them at a beautiful restaurant, on a hotel roof top, or even at your favorite samgyupsal home. Even if you're in quarantine, you can still have a memorable birthday party!

Here’s what you can do to make your birthday celebration better:

1. Get friends and family involved

- Even if the celebrant is just staying in front of the computer, inviting your family and friends to a zoom party or contacting them on your chat groups might help you feel like you're really having a birthday party. By sending you heartfelt wishes and greetings, you can feel your guests' presence.

2. Dress to impress

- There is no particular reason when and where you should dress elegantly – nobody can judge you for it. You can still dress up even if you have nowhere to go. Make your birthday a little more exciting by wearing that red dress that you have always been wanting to wear! Wear those long dangling earrings and high heels; make your hair sleek and give yourself a smoldering Smokey eye. Make yourself feel better because it is your birthday – there are no rules.

3. Virtual Birthday Drinks

- Since buying alcohol is temporarily banned in some parts of the country, you can have it in an alternative way! Luckily, you can now order your favorite Milk tea online with just a few steps! While having your friends in a video call, you can ask them to join you by ordering their favorite milk tea drink at their favorite Milk Tea place! Once your order is received, you can now have a beautifully captured digital photo moment.

4. Order-in your favorite foods

- Luckily, many restaurants are keeping their operations open by offering take-out, pick-up and frozen foods. Coffee Project Marketplace is one of those many restaurants. Even if you did not have the chance to prepare for your birthday feast, that is okay! You can now order your favorite dishes, snacks and even your favorite milk tea in just one call away!

Our lives will return to normal in a few weeks, and you may miss your leisurely days at home, so take advantage of them while you can! After all, more than ever, we need a little happiness.
