Summer is here and the days are long and warm. We’ve put together a special Summer Bucket List of 10 mindful ways to enjoy the summertime and make sure you don’t miss out on any charming moments of the season.
We asked our followers on Instagram what they thought the tastes and smell of the summer are and we love their answers: lilac, ocean, the dusty hay, cooling grass smell of a 85 degree day in the evening, the rain and wind before a thunderstorm, morning dew on the grass, linden blossoms on a hot night, sunscreen, campfire, line dried clothes, roses, jasmine, honeysuckle, watermelon, s’mores, peaches, lemonade, sweet peas, ice cream, coconut, and berries.
Get ready for a relaxing Summer Bucket List
Our followers on Instagram inspire us as much as we hope to inspire them. All the photos we’re sharing were found under our seasonal hashtag #thischarmingsummer, feel free to contribute and follow our kindred spirit contributors!
1. Go On A Picnic
Pack a some delightful snacks, perhaps grill some hot dogs or s’mores. Enjoy a refreshing drink and go barefoot in the grass.
2. Take a Hike
Go for a hike or and even set up a camp. Watch a sunset over the mountains and see the fireflies dance in a meadow.
3. Emerge Yourself In Water
Go for a swim with mermaids, take a dip in a lake, put your toes in a running stream.
4. Gardening
Reap the rewards of what you’ve sown. Don’t have a garden? Go to a farm stand for some freshly picked squash, beans, and herbs which make for a delightful evening dinner.
5. Bake Something Special
Throw a midsummer party and make a strawberry summer cake with cream.
6. Soak Up The Sun
Let the sun warm your skin and soul (but of course wear sunscreen)
7. Wander With Wild Flowers
Some might see weeds, others a wild flower bouquet.
8. Fruit Picking
Hand pickin’ berries and fruit is a gift from nature.
9. Enjoy A Cold Treat
Ice coffee or tea. Ice-cream and popsicles are a great way to cool down.
10. Take Notice of Wildlife
The butterflies, lady bugs, and animals are so active in the summer but can easily be missed. Take the time to admire the wings of a dragonfly.
We hope feel inspired to add some charm to your summertime. Did we not mention something that is important to you? We’d love to know how you add charm to your summertime and feel free to use #thischarmingsummer on Instagram to show things that make your summers special.
Bye For Now,
