Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog!
I was just thinking to myself about all those times in the summer holidays when you are stuck at home and you are bored out of your mind! You are scrolling through Instagram and notice everyone else is on holiday in hot places like Spain or Turkey relaxing by a lovely pool. Then when you want to meet up with a friend and you text them asking if they are free, they are always busy, still asleep or on holiday! It is not fun at all really...
So I thought I would help you all out a bit and give you some ideas on what you can do this summer or even any time when you are bored. I have split it into different sections: what to do when it's bad weather and what to do when it's good weather...
What to do when it's bad weather:(
There is always those few days in the summer when it is chucking it down outside and you are lying on the sofa groaning to yourself like it's the end of the world. It doesn't have to be! Here are some ideas of what you can do with friends, siblings or by yourself:
1. Make an indoor den
Gather up pillows, sofa cushions, blankets and tables, make a cosy den, grab your laptop and snuggle up inside to watch Netflix, YouTube and your favourite films!
2. Bake something
You probably have most of the ingredients in your kitchen cupboards but if you are running low or need something specific (i.e. white chocolate chips!) you can always quickly go to the shops and grab the things you need. Baking is really fun and don't forget you get to lick the bowl and create some really tasty snacks or desserts! I will be posting some of my favourite baking recipes quite soon.
3. Go to an indoor shopping centre
Grab a friend, drive to your nearest shopping centre and go crazy in your favourite shops. It's quite simple and you'll probably end up having a great time and come home with a few too many beauty products and clothes!
4. Go to a trampoline park
Trampoline parks have become really popular this year. If you are not sure what they are, then they are a huge room full of trampolines everywhere! There are a few different companies so look out for Bounce, Gravity Force and Air Hop.
5. Watch a film at the cinema
Quite a few good films come out at the cinema in the summer so make sure to look what's on at your nearest cinema. Make sure you don't forget the Ben & Jerry's and the popcorn!
What to do when it's good weather:)
Sometimes in the summer you do get the really nice warm, sunny day with a perfect blue sky and the sound of the lawn mower in the garden. So here is how to make the most of the sunshine if you're stuck on what to do:
1. Paddling pool and sprinkler
There's nothing better than on a boiling hot day to splash around in the paddling pool and run in and out of the sprinkler. It really refreshes you and it's even better with donut inflatables!
2. Make refreshing cold drinks
On a hot day when you've been having fun outside in the garden and in need of a refreshment, homemade cold drinks are always the best thing. You could make mocktails, milkshakes, smoothies, lemonade or coke floats.
3. Have a water balloon fight
Water balloon fights are so fun and all you need is a pack of water balloons (they sell them in most corner shops and supermarkets) and some cold water from the tap.
4. Go to the park
This is pretty simple but if you bring some friends a long and some outdoor games (football, netball, rounders etc.) you are bound to have a good time. It is also the perfect opportunity to have some yummy ice cream if there is an ice cream van!
5. Do some DIYs
DIYs are really fun and if they are messy you can make them outside in the garden. For example, you could collect flowers and make your own flower crowns or if you have a spare white top you could tie dye it as this looks really cool!
I hope that this blog post has given you some ideas or inspiration on what you can do this summer to avoid boredom. Try not to waste your whole summer holidays sitting around on the sofa staring at your phone or watching endless episodes of your favourite TV shows as when you go back to school you may regret it!
See you in my next blog post,
