1-Walking,
Running or Cycling to Work
The
weather may not be tropical, but it's certainly not snowing! As long
as the temperature is OK, why not run, cycle or walk to work? If you
work far from home, you could cycle to the train or bus? There's
always a way to fit in an extra bit of exercise into the day!
If
you're lucky enough to live in a nice rural area, you have absolutely
no excuses! Try and convince some friends from work to join you, and
you'll stay motivated all summer. If you get this extra exercise
(which really adds up over a few weeks) that beer and barbecue will
be guilt free come friday!
2-Organic
Coconut Water
Coconut
water is the drink of 2013! Where has it been all our lives? Coconut
water is absolutely caked full of healthy vitamins and minerals,
tastes great and is now available to buy organic! What's not to like?
3-Go
to a Local Music Festival
If
you live in the UK, you'll almost certainly have some kind of music
festival within 100 miles of you! We just love to drink cider and
enjoy music into the early hours! Whatever type of music you're into
there's always going to be somewhere that caters to your needs.
Having said that, a live festival the best way to get to know and
love new music!
4-Look
after your Garden
Boring,
I know! You'll be absolutely ecstatic once you've finished though. If
you have an outdoor space in which you can relax on a sunny day, you
won't regretting having sorted out the garden at the beginning of the
summer! If you have somewhere to spend time outdoors, you'll also be
less likely to spend money to sit outdoors at a pub or restaurant!
5-Enjoy
Spending Time with Friends
This
is a pretty big one all year round, but whilst the weather is good,
why not catch up with old friends? You can just go for a walk or
wander round a few shops, without any kind agenda. The beauty of
summer!
6-Run
a Race for Charity
If
you want to get fit, it's great to set yourself a goal to train for.
Whether it's a marathon, half marathon or 5k, signing up for a race
is a great way to get fit for the summer!
Even
if you don't want to become an elite athlete, there are plenty of
'fun runs' where you can raise money for a great cause, dress up in a
silly costume and make new friends!
7-Learn
to Cook Something New
I'm
going to learn to cook Paella, you? Summer is a great time for
expanding your cooking repertoire as there are a lot of exciting
fresh organic ingredients available. It's pretty easy to fall into a
rotation of cooking the same meals over and over again, so it's good
to get out of the funk!
8-Be
a Tourist in your Local Area
I
don't know what it is, but we often seem reluctant to truly
appreciate the area we live in. Everywhere in the UK has a story to
tell, even Basingstoke (sorry Basingstoke!). If you live in a city,
hop on one of those open-top sightseeing buses and prepare to learn!
If you live in a small town, look on trip advisor to see what the
most local tourist attractions are. The chances are you'll spot a
tonne of thing you don't know about and end up having a whale of a
time.
9-Grow
your own organic fruit
The
main reason that organic fruit and vegetables are so expensive is
that they need to be grown to such strict regulations and check
thoroughly before being sold. It's good that the Soil Association
regulations are so strict, but it does add an extra cost. Growing
some of your own fruit at home will give you a hobby, save you money
and give you lots of yummy summer treats!
10-Let
your TV Gather Dust!
The
new series of Game of thrones will still be there in the autumn, I
promise! We've all looked out of the window on a sunny day and though
“I just can't be bothered to do anything today”. This summer,
it's time to go out and do things, not sit inside and waste all of
that good vitamin D!
