10 things to do before the end of the Summer

Hi everyone,

With back to school right around the corner (and for some of us it’s already there) and although it is fashionably late. Today I wanted to share a list of 10 things that we can do to relax and safely enjoy the end of the summer. To be honest, this post has been sitting on my drafts for a couple of weeks now. I don’t know if it is because I am not really satisfied with my last 2 photoshoots or all those things that keep popping up since April of this year, it has become quite challenging to keep up with my regular schedule.

At first, I was beating myself up for not being able to commit to my own schedule. And if you know me, you know how it is important to keep track of things on my to-do list. But lately, I decided to take it one thing at a time as it can be overwhelming, even stressful to keep up with everything. And let’s not start with me trying to get around those reels, TikTok, LTK, and the list goes on and on. Anyway, I will make a post to talk more about the behind-the-scenes or maybe makes an “a day in a life of LaMoumous” for fun :-), for today, here’s my 10 top list of things to do before summer ends:

Go for a picnic

Take your friends or your family along and make an experience that you’ll remember. Just be sure to avoid the ant hills!

Unplug and go connect with your real-life friends

Sometime this summer, make sure you set the phone down, step away from the computer, and experience life without the Internet. Make sure you stop by and see your friends. Catch up; do things that you used to do before the Internet became a dominant force in our lives.

Go find your nearest body of water

Go visit a body of water this summer, be it a lake, an ocean, a river, or something else. There are a hundred things you can do once you hit the water. Visit one and enjoy yourself!

Have a BBQ

There is no better time to have a BBQ and invite your friends, neighbors, and family over. It’s a fun time and it’s a great way to bond with the people you care about. 

Walk somewhere

We have legs that we are using less and less these days. Do your body, your cardiovascular system, and your health a favor and pound some pavement this summer. 

Try something you’ve never tried before

 The possibilities are endless and they’ll be your treasured memories years from now.

Start a garden

There is almost a primal satisfaction in making things grow out of the ground. A lot of people plant gardens and you should too. You can grow flowers, vegetables, fruits, or even herbs and spices.

Go on a vacation

This one is self-explanatory but nevertheless, it’s important. The routine of day-to-day life can be stressful. Going on vacation allows you to get away from all the stress of your everyday life. You can decompress, recharge, and give yourself a mental and emotional makeover. 

Get yourself some fruity drinks or cocktails

Smoothies are amazing and there are quite a few places that sell them. If you’re into making them at home you can find thousands of recipes. For adults, adding a little alcohol to them is never a bad idea. The Piña colada was invented for this time of year.

Do some house work

 Your yard could probably use some TLC too and the siding on your house is probably in need of a good power wash. We’ve no doubt you have a to-do list and there is no better time to get it done than summer.

There are thousands of things to do over the summer, but the important thing is that you enjoy yourself while you can. Soon enough you’ll be craving that strawberry daiquiri or firing up the grill. As the old saying goes, get it while the gettin’ is good. Even if you are lucky to live on an island like me where you can do all of these every day, there is something about Summer that you might don’t want to miss.

So what have you done this summer and how do you intend to wave it goodbye? Leave me a comment in the comment section below.

Thanks for stopping by.
