Top 10 Ways to Indulge Yourself This Summer
Guide Picks
Summer will be over before you know it and there will come a day when you realize that you never got around to doing all those things that you had planned. Not going to happen this year. I have come up with ten things that I think might make for an interesting summer. Try them out and then make your own list!
1) A Summer Picnic
To begin, start by planning your menu. For this picnic, we are going to include all those foods that call out your name. And when that has been accomplished, choose the locale for your picnic. It could be a nearby beach or a park that you visited years ago. And if you have holidays planned for this summer, explore the area and hold your picnic there!
2) Perfect Sunsets
I can remember when I was a teen watching the most spectacular sunsets. Unfortunately, I can't remember the last time I did that! Pick a Saturday night and find somewhere that offers great sunsets. You probably already know a spot so all you have to do is pencil it in!
3) Star Gazing
Summer is the perfect time to star gaze. Head out into the country where the lights of a town won't interfere and then spread a blanket on the grass and stretch out. You will be amazed at how the stars twinkle and if you are lucky, you will spot a falling star. Be ready with your wish!
4) Explore a Nearby City
Gather a group of friends together and explore an ethnic section of a nearby city. Sample the food while you are at it. There are some great treats waiting for you. One summer we dined on Buffalo Burgers and homemade Cranberry juice. It was a day none of us will ever forget.
5) Scout Out Star Sitings
Movies are made in lots of different towns across the country. Check to see if any are in your area and then watch the paper. Most will alert you to restaurants that actors frequent when in town. Keep a list and then spend a little time watching and waiting. It might result in absolutely nothing, but on the other hand, you never know who just might walk in the door.
6) Make Yourself Gorgeous
Many malls now feature spas, so round up a group of friends and book yourself a day at the spa. After a hectic summer, nothing could be more relaxing... especially if you enjoy it with a few friends.
7) Toss Out the Old
For some reason, we seem to collect about a zillion wire hangers even though they are murder on our blouses and summer dresses. Instead, invest in a few padded hangers each time you go to the mall and when you get them home, spray them with your favorite fragrance so that you closet will smell heavenly every time you open the door.
8) A Summer Time Bubble Bath
Skip over the bubble baths that have been sitting on the side of the tub for most of the year. For this indulgence, you will need something brand new. Perhaps a rose scented bubble bath is just right for a cool early evening indulgence.
9) Try Jogging
If you jog in the late afternoon, try jogging first thing in the morning. You never know who you might bump into. A new friend... female or otherwise might be just around the next corner.
10) Practice Flirting
Flirting can be extremely difficult for some people, but this is the perfect time to test the waters. The more practice you get now, will make flirting that much easier when you want it to count... at school!
