The first day of summer may technically be June 20th but there’s something about Memorial Day Weekend that just feels like the real kick-off. The smell of BBQ drifts through the air, the sun lingers on the horizon, everything sort of…glows. The promise of summer shenanigans is ripe for the picking and you can just about reach out and grab it.
Here’s our list of 7 summer necessities to start planning for:
1. At least one road trip. Even if it’s only a few hours away, grab your most fun friend and hit the highway toward somewhere you’ve never been before. Make sure the snacks are plentiful and the playlists are on point!
2. Find water. Whether it be poolside, a day by the lake, or a sandy ocean beach get your toes wet and wash your cares away.
3. Eat fresh. Farmer’s markets are especially vibrant in the summer and buying your produce there not only contributes to sustainability but actually ends up saving you money with enough shopping around. Plus the flavor is exponentially better!
4. Appreciate the outdoors. We spend so much time inside, largely due to work, plan on getting out and taking in some nature. Maybe even turning your phone off…if you’re feeling wild!
5. Stock up on sunscreen. We don’t have to tell you the importance of slathering on SPF; so don’t skip it every time you head out the door!
6. Find the discount days at your local movie theatres. For the days that it’s too hot to be in the sun what’s better than catching a blockbuster in the ice cold AC? Most theatres have a discount day, or find the nearest cheap theatre that’s showing the slightly older movies…it’s worth waiting to see the hottest movies for a $3 escape from the heat.
7. Speaking of movies, what screams summer nights more than an outdoor screening of something iconic in the park? Pack a picnic basket (and maybe a bottle of wine) or grab some takeout, kick back and enjoy a picture perfect summer evening on a blanket, sound tracked by crickets.
