Since the coronavirus started spreading around the world, many governments put their countries in lockdown in order to stop it. Many people are in self-isolation. So, instead of watching TV, people have started doing projects at home, such as home decor or starting a garden in the backyard.

Now that many shops are closed, some people tried to do some stuff at home instead of leaving it to professionals such as painting their own nails or cutting their hair.
