Summer Bucket List: 59 Activities to do this Summer

If you're looking for some fun activities to do before summer ends, I've got you covered! Here's a post of 59 Activities to do this summer.

1. Wake up early and watch the sunrise

Waking up early can leave you feeling energized for the day ahead. Watching the sunrise can also bring a little more joy into your life, helping to remind you of the beauty of the world around you.

2. Plant a garden

Planting a garden is a great way to connect more deeply with nature and to spruce up your backyard. There are many different types of gardens to choose from, such as flower gardens, vegetable gardens, or herb gardens.

3. Redecorate your backyard

Redecorating your backyard is a great summer activity to keep yourself busy and let your creativity shine through. Having a lovely and welcoming backyard can also encourage you to spend more time outside and reconnect with nature.

4. Declutter your house

Summer is the perfect time to clean out your house. It can feel daunting at first, but decluttering your house can make space for better and brighter things to come into your life. Start with one room and make your way through your home, letting go of old objects and things that are no longer serving you.

5. Donate old clothes

Go through your closet and donate clothes that are too small or that you no longer like. By emptying your drawers and closet of unwanted clothes, you make space to try new styles and fashions, expressing yourself in a new and creative way.

6. Create a new morning routine

Having a positive morning routine can make all the difference between having a good day. When you start your day off right, that positive energy snowballs into the rest of your day, filling your day with good things.

7. Try yoga

When it comes to relaxing and unwinding from a stressful day, yoga is one of the best practices to do so. Yoga is not only a great practice to relax tense muscles, but it also helps you to connect back with the present moment, enjoying all the pleasures that already reside there.

8. Practice meditating

Similar to yoga, meditation helps you to connect back to your body, releasing stress and worries. Yoga can help you to better connect with yourself and is a great tool to help you on your path to self-discovery.

9. Make fruit smoothies

Fruit smoothies are a great way to add more fruits and veggies into your life. These delicious drinks can be made with multiple refreshing fruits and can help to add a healthier boost to your diet.

10. Buy seasonal fruits and veggies

Summer is the best time to stock up on fruits and veggies. Berries are especially popular during this season and are often sweet and refreshing. Maybe try out new fruity desserts or healthy salads with the foods of the season.

11. Stay hydrated by using a water tracker

It’s always important to stay hydrated, but it’s especially important during the hot summer months. Measure your water intake with water trackers to make sure you’re staying healthy and hydrated.

12. Have a pool party

Nothing says summer like a fun pool party. Gather some friends and have a refreshing day at the pool.

13. Go on a picnic

Going on a picnic during the summer is a great activity to do with friends or family. Pack a delicious lunch with seasonal fruits and vegetables and spend the day at a relaxing park.

14. Start a new book series

Starting a new book series can be a great way to keep you occupied and provide you with some relaxing self-care time. When you need some time alone, reading a new book can be a great way to reconnect with your imagination and excitement. Go on new adventures with different characters and learn new things along the way!

15. Go outside and enjoy being in the sun

Summer means sunshine, and there’s nothing better than spending time out in the warm, nourishing sun. Maybe take a book and read on the grass while you soak up that vitamin D!

16. Try a new restaurant

Trying a new restaurant is the perfect way to break out of your old routine and try new foods. If you’re feeling adventurous, try going to a restaurant with a cuisine you’ve never tried before. There are so many different types of foods, you may find your new favorite just around the corner.

17. Try new nature hobbies like hiking or bird watching

Summer is a great time to step out of your comfort zone and try out new hobbies. While it’s easy to get stuck in the same old routine, picking up a new hobby can expose you to new feelings of joy and creativity.

18. Try a new fitness class

Trying out a new fitness class can be a great way to incorporate more exercise into your life. If you enjoy trying different workouts, try something you’ve never done before. Some examples might include, yoga, CrossFit, kickboxing, or even some form of martial arts. This can leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

19. Go to a local food market or food festival

If you enjoy trying new foods, try going to a food market or a food festival. These often provide new types of dishes and foods you may not have tried before, exposing you to new flavors and tastes.

20. Go on a camping trip

Camping is a great way to spend more time outdoors. If you enjoy connecting with nature, try going out to a beautiful camping spot and engaging in fun nature activities. Make sure to take the marshmallows and a good friend to share s’mores with!

Elven Water

Difficulty: ★☆☆ (easy) Time: 2 minutes (prep), no cooking Categories: Drinks, High Fantasy Perfect for: Summer drink, short-notice one-shot Dietary requirements: contains lemon

Recipe below cut <3

Recipe

You will need:

Elderflower cordial (mine is homemade, which you can also make by following this or another tutorial, or alternatively buying it)

Mint leaves

Lemon juice

Water

Pour some cordial into your glass. The amount will very due to taste or size of glass, but roughly one sixth is a good rule of thumb, as it’s concentrated.

2. Fill the rest of the glass with water to dilute the cordial. If making a large batch (e.g a jug) you may want to lightly stir it at this stage, however it should mix evenly naturally. If you have bought ready-mixed elderflower juice, skip this stage and instead fill your glass.

3. Squeeze a few drops of lemon into your glass, again to taste. Don't go overboard!

4. Add a few (washed) mint leaves. If it's a particularly hot day, you could also add ice cubes.

5. Enjoy!

All images by me, please ask before using.
