Whether you're married, have flat mates, or live alone, one thing is for sure: we all crave some alone time, especially to do the things we don't want to do in front of anyone else. Carrie Bradshaw once admitted that her SSB is eating stacks of crackers and jelly while reading Vogue in her kitchen. Here are some of our other favourites...
1. Walking around naked
The most obvious (and perhaps best) SSB of all time. Why not?
2. Eating in bed
No one's there to yell about the crumby mess you're making. Bonus points if you're eating in your undies.
3. Rubbing lotions and potions all over our bodies
A face mask, a hair mask, a full body scrub... we go to town!
4. Having a solo dance party
It's a great way to burn calories and practice your moves.
5. Singing into the hairbrush (or any other makeshift microphone)
You can't believe how good you are! It's actually too bad no one else is around to hear this.
6. Extracting your pores
Magnifying mirror necessary.
7. Tweezing everything
Magnifying mirror optional (but encouraged).
8. Having trashy reality TV marathons
Isn't that what weekends were made for?
9. Drinking straight out of the bottle/jug/carton
Why dirty a glass? It's not like you were going to share the container with anyone else, anyway.
10. Having dessert for dinner
Ice cream > chicken.
11. Listening to the same song over and over (and over) again
Love that loop feature.
12. Not changing clothes
Especially if you're home sick or just haven't left the house for two days. Why wrinkle another outfit?
13. Letting the rubbish bin overflow
Taking it out is the worst. And what flat mates are for.
14. Going comando
Because knickers are completely unnecessary when one is alone at home.
15. Trying on everything in your closet
It is simultaneously frivolous and productive. Bonus points if you put aside everything that doesn't fit to donate.
16. Practising different looks of seduction in the mirror
You're so gonna kill it at the next happy hour.
17. Binge watching bad TV
Bonus points if it's Jeremy Kyle.
18. One word: Nair
When we're alone we Nair everywhere.
19. Midnight snacking
At the kitchen counter. Or in bed. Or anywhere, really.
20. Cleaning in your underwear
What? It's weirdly sexy.
21. Talking to yourself (or your pet)
Because sometimes you just need to be reassured that you are so much better off without that last jerk you dated.
22. Trying out new makeup trends and complicated updos
These activities are always best done when you have nowhere to go. That way, if it looks awful, you've saved yourself the hassle.
23. Exercising during TV ad breaks
Jumping off the couch to do jumping jacks? Smart.
24. Drinking earlier than what's considered socially acceptable
Champagne at 8AM? Why not?
25. Eating cereal for every meal
But only when you've run out of ice cream.
