Well, hello to you, my reader chums! I'm a summer girl. I love the sunshine and the joy it brings. Everything feels better in the summer: the longer days, endless ice cream, warm weather, cute dresses and a peppy spirit in the air. Although with summer, everything gets busy and there's this massive pressure to have a million big plans and book all the events.
This is your reminder to make the most of the summer. It's not about the big things; it's about the little things. If you're feeling overwhelmed with the summer season, here is how to make the most of summer without massive plans.
Eating on the beach
Whether you're lucky to live near the beach or it's a day out, any picnic on the beach is a joy. Wake up and watch the sunrise with breakfast and a hot drink. Pack a picnic and spend the day at the beach, lapping up the weather, views and sea. Or, have a beach BBQ, put on some music and watch the sunset. It's the simple things on the beach that make the best memories.
Sea swimming
The sea is majestic, beautiful and magical. The best part of summer is enjoying it as much as possible, including sea swimming. Whether it's a morning dip to kick start the day, a sunset swim, or to cool down from the midday sun, making the most of the sea is a gift.
Eating as much ice cream as possible
One of the best things about summer is ice cream. There's nothing better than enjoying an ice cream when the sun is out, it adds a small joy to every day. This is my influence on you: eat as much ice cream as possible, make any excuse to treat yourself. Ice cream doesn't hit the same in winter.
Reading in the sunshine
I love to read. At any time of day, there's nothing better than opening a brilliant book and enjoying a story. Summer is when my reading dreams level up, as I can read a story in the sunshine, whether on the beach, at the park or in a garden, embracing nature around me as I read.
Beach and countryside walks
I love the little things in life, and my favourite thing is going for a walk. It's an opportunity to explore somewhere new, listen to a podcast or socialise with a loved one. Whether it's the beach or the countryside, I love to walk in the summertime when nature is in bloom and the sun is shining.
Spending quality time with family and friends outside
Quality time with family and friends is what I'm most grateful for. In summer, you don't need any grand plans to enjoy your loved ones. Being outside with them can mean going on a walk, having a sea swim, doing some arts and crafts, having a picnic or grabbing a coffee and having a chat. There's so much opportunity to enjoy the connection with loved ones outside.
Sunsets and long days
I'm a sucker for a good sunset. There's nothing more magical than watching the sun go down and the sky lighting up with multiple colours of red, orange and pink. I could spend every evening watching the sunset and a good book - plus the bonus of a longer day is a win.
I hope you enjoyed this post. What do you love most about summer?
