Hello!

Summer is the favorite season of many. You don't have to go to school, you can sleep in, and you can stay up at night. Most everyone loves to vacation during summer, but some people can't vacation every year. Today's post will give you some tips on what to do when you are stuck at home during this season.

Go Biking- Whenever I'm home during summer, I like to go biking. Sometimes I invite a friend or sometimes I go alone. Either way, it's a great way to go outside and get some exercise. While I am biking, I like to find a scenic area and take some pictures there for my social media.

Volunteer- Summer is a great time to get your service hours in if your school requires it, or you can just do it for fun! I know it sounds boring, but volunteering can make you feel really proud of yourself! Try to find an organization that fits your interests- if you like dogs, volunteer at the Humane Society or if you like kids, volunteer at a nursery.

Make and Bake- During summer, I like to make new DIYs. Usually they're pretty easy. I like to find an idea on Pinterest and see if I can make it. Room decor these days is pretty expensive, but you can make some of your own! I also like to bake. Everyone loves cupcakes, cookies, and more baked goods, and when it's homemade, it's always better!

Plants- I love getting new cacti and succulents. They make really cute room decor, plus you can have a really fun time making their new pots! During the summer, you can plant a garden and watch it grow. Flowers are beautiful, and they're great for pictures. If you plant tomatoes and basil, you can even make your own caprese! 

Let me know if you guys liked these tips or even used some. I hope you all have a happy, fun, and safe summer!

What are you doing this summer?
