With spring here, it won’t be too long until we get to enjoy all that summer has to offer. It won’t be long until we will spend hours outdoors, being in the fresh air, enjoying warm sunshine, and spending time with people we love. Last summer may have felt a little different than ever before, so this year, why not make the most out of the summer season and really embrace it? If you want to do just that, then here are some ways to make your summer one to remember.

• Watching a sunrise can be such a magical experience, especially on a balmy summer morning. You’ll need to get up early, as sunrise can be early in the summer, but it can be so worth it. Take a coffee and a picnic breakfast and you’re good to go.

• Getting your home ready for summer can be a good way to make sure that you’re able to enjoy summer the most. This could be getting everything in for BBQs, as well as checking on things like your AC, otherwise you might need to call a 24 hour AC service to fix things. If you want to make sure you enjoy summer, then get things in place to have your home ready to go.

• Travel, especially further afield, may still not be happening this summer, so why not make the most of where you live? When you take time to embrace where you live and be a tourist in your own town or city, then you can see it in a different way and find new things to see and do. Get time off work like you would for any other kind of vacation, and make the most of your local area.

• They say that saltwater can be a cure for anything, and there isn’t anything better than some ‘vitamin sea.’ So why not head to the beach sometime this summer? It is a relaxing way to spend a day, enjoying great weather, good company, and an enjoyable atmosphere. 

• If you want to make the most of the summer, then have you thought about a nature walk? There is so much beauty in summer, with plants and flowers in full bloom, not to mention the calming nature that comes from being outdoors in woodland or fields. Definitely a good way to spend the day, and you could even embrace the art of forest bathing, which is an ancient Japanese way of embracing nature. 
• Summer is an excellent season to host cocktail parties. They’re a fun way to bring together friends and family, enjoy refreshing beverages, and take full advantage of the warm weather. Hosting cocktail parties doesn’t need to be complicated – simply set up a DIY cocktail bar in your backyard, where guests can create their own drinks with spirit bottles, mixers, garnishes and ice. The Moscow Mule cocktail is a perennial summer classic; make the area feel easy with some classic tunes and tasteful outdoor lighting; you should strive to create an environment conducing relaxation, conversation and enjoyment of summer season!

• Planting a garden can be something fun to do, but can be so rewarding at the same time. You can grow herbs and veggies for yourself, or just enjoy the flowers that you plant when they bloom. You don’t need much space either, as it could be in your yard, on a window sill or just in planters on your doorstep.

• There can be so much to celebrate in summer, from birthdays, parties, and 4th July. Make sure that you get the chance to watch some fireworks this summer, and you’ll be able to celebrate in style.
