My friend Sofia always brings the zen I need in my life. I can’t cook for my life, and I definitely wouldn’t call myself a nature queen. This is where she comes in! I asked Sofia to share her best summer fun ideas for the ultimate ladies bucket list. Can you cross everything off?
Schools coming to an end – preparing for finals, packing up your dorm/apartment and getting ready to head home! But wait, what’s the plan; what’s there to do? So much is the answer!
Whether you Instagram, Facebook, blog, or simply put your photos in a scrapbook, you will want these memories for a lifetime; here are a few ideas on how to make this summer one to remember.
1. Go on a roadtrip – To the ice-cream parlor two towns over for some famous homemade rocky road, or to New Orleans for some French Quarter fun, choose a destination never explored and head on over with some friends! It’s where you go, but the people you’re with.
2. Try a yoga class – Who doesn’t need some zen in their life? Check out local yoga studios nearby where you can meditate in childpose for the entire class, or sweat it out with handstands and arm balances. There’s a pose for everyone
Hydrate yourself 24/7- Wake up, drink two glasses of lemon water to energize, detox and clean your body. Throughout the day, add chia seeds and your choice of fruit (watermelon & strawberry are yummy) to water and you’ll be staying healthy with a delicious combo.
3. Have a bonfire & s’mores party – There’s nothing better to bond with your girlfriends over than pulling sticky marshmallows off a tree branch while listening to John Mayer and caching up on boy drama. The essentials are minimum – marshmallows (Dandies Vegan Air-Puffed Marshmallows, gelatin free version are a s’mores fan fav), chocolate (dairy free Dream Milk Chocolate is tasty), graham crackers, a few sticks from your backyard and a fire.
Have a picnic – Plan a weekend getaway to a local park or wildlife area and bring your food basket! This can include mini sandwiches, a bottle of Long Island white wine and strawberries for dessert, or for those under 21 – sparkling apple cider will suffice.
4. Check out a thrift store – College students appreciate nothing more than a good deal, especially with cute and trendy clothes. Check out a local thrift store that you and your friends can delve into, hunting for some affordable new looks. (Ps. Crop tops are out; Vintage tees are in!)
Make homemade granola – There’s nothing like going on a walk accompanied with some trail mix in a zip lock baggy, except granola is way better. So make your own, personalized to you and no one else! Gather up your favorite ingredients: almonds, cashews, macadamia, hazelnuts, chocolate chips, craisins, pumpkin seeds, coconut, chia seeds and vanilla; toss that all together, add some honey pop it into the oven and voila!
5. Dedicate a day to do nothing – Literally, just do nothing. School is over, there is no work, no studying and most importantly, no stress! Go for a walk, observe a tree in your backyard, listen to the birds chirping and enjoy the silence. These moments aren’t forever, and they certainly are peaceful.
6. Get a hammock – Building a tree house is a little complicated for us gals, lying in a hammock is half the effort! All you need is a little space, indoor or outdoor, two standing poles or trees to latch the ends onto. Lay back and enjoy the sway of the hammock with a good read.
7. Fisher up – Whoever said only guys fish is clearly mistaken – Grab a fishing pole, take some bait, and launch’er out to the water! It’s a game of patience and how many drinks take it till you catch something. Once the little fighter has been caught, try out your sushi making skills or throw it onto the grill for a paleo filled dinner. Squeeze on some fresh lemon and throw on a dash of seasoning for taste. Anything guys can do, girls can do better! Right?
