How you and bae can keep the spark alive while social distancing

Relationships can be tough on a normal day, but quarantine adds in a whole new challenge! Not being able to see bae for an extended period of time can be the absolute *worst* but that doesn't mean you can't still make the best of this crazy time. Here are some fun ideas to keep you and your bae going strong!

1. Compliment each other daily

Reminding each other about your best qualities can help you feel connected even when you're far apart. Saying simple things like "I appreciate when you do this for me," or "you have the best laugh" can really go a long way!

2. Plan unique dates

When you're stuck in your house, you have to get creative! Work with your bae to plan unique date ideas that you can do while in quarantine. You can plan a paint night, try following a recipe together or even try out these virtual Disney rides. Say goodbye to watching the same Netflix show together for the third day in a row!

3. Write letters

Sending your bae a handwritten letter is the *cutest* quarantine activity! You can get as creative as you want to by including glitter, using colored markers or even adding in your fave pics of you and bae. The excitement of receiving a letter will remind you and bae of all the reasons you got together in the first place.

4. Find new ways to stay connected

If you and bae find yourselves chatting in the same way every day, try switching it up! If you normally text, try calling each other or video chatting. If you don't really use Snapchat, try it out for a day! The change in routine will keep you from getting bored and keep things exciting.
