“I look just like a gingerbread man in a mask", I told myself when I looked in the mirror at the moment as I was going to get out of the house after a month of quarantine. My favourite jeans I didn't manage to put on were reproachfully nodding to me with their legs from the wardrobe. Which one of us hasn't gained a couple or so pounds while staying at home during the quarantine?😳😆 ✅Here's the recipe of making a slim girl look like a gingerbread man: ➡️Shake up a month of quarantine ➡️add a five meals daily ➡️spice it up with some cakes from the nearby bakery ➡️pour a lack of normal physical activity and a dash of remote work (just don't overdo it with the work)🤣 ➡️When leaving the home, don't forget to add a mask - the most fashionable accessory of 2020 and 2021 years😉 The recipe for the crocheting of a memorable gingerbread man below! Crochet, smile and stay healthy!❤️
