Hiya everyone! π As today is the Summer solstice, aka the beginning of Summer and the longest day of the year (you bet I googled what it meant π€£) I thought it apt to share my Summer bucket list with you all! β These types of posts are an old faithful and I can feel the nostalgia setting in as I type β¨οΈ. The fact that it’s the start of Summer is highly EXCITING and I cannot wait for all that is ahead wbu? Soooo what are we waiting for? Let’s jump right in and get started with my list of hopeful to-do’s! Starting with…..
Have a BBQ/Eat outside! π
All that’s standing in the way of this happening is occasionally the weather doing a straight out swap from sun to rain and a dirty bbq that needs a clean. Don’t get me wrong it’s not horrific, it’s been covered up since last year, it just needs a once-over before it’s properly used again. I’m looking forward to having smores as well, ahhhh it’s going to be bliss I tell u!
Go to the cinema πΏ
I went to see the new Mario movie spontaneously with my sister and it was really good. I’d also love to see the new spiderman movie, I’ve heard such good things!! Theres nothing quite like the smell of cinema popcorn and that whole atmosphere, I’m super excited to go again and even tho it’s not exactly a Summery thing I get the feeling we’re going to be there a lot more as it wasn’t thought about before but now it’s on my mind a lot.
Get out and about π«
This is one I know is going to be happening as its already occurring and I’ve a good few plans made like a festival and a holiday on the horizon (more will be said afterwards as I’ll more than likely want to blog these experiences! π
Make a mocktail
If you want a yummy recipe, check out this one for a tropical teaser mocktail I made a while back! It’ll be nice to try and make some new renditions too and I’d like to make them for the whole family as well because the weather’s likely to get very hot so a nice cold drink will go down a treat. Let me know if you guys would like some more mocktail recipes, I’d glady share once I get my hands on them myself! π
Try/do something new
Hey that rhymed! π I’m always in the market for trying new things, so far this year I’ve learned how to ice skate (god I can’t wait until the rink comes back to town again! βΈ), I’ve made sushi and I’ve also made milk tea (boba tea without the tapioca pearls) but that’s gonna be the topic of a whole other post my guy! I love trying/doing new things so I hope there are some good things on the horizon, you never know what’s gonna happen! One thing I’d like to try is a chai latte as I only just found out they don’t have coffee in them, I mean correct me if I’m wrong but that just a hello excites me because coffee triggers migraines so I hope there’s none in it anyway!
Get a pool or a hot tub
Nothing too pricey or anything that will eat away at your girls savings but I just think it would be so much fun to do! And I’m leaning more towards getting a hot tub because *important note…I can’t swim π. Plus if we got a hot tub my whole family could enjoy it so yeah, I’m nothing but hopeful π€£.
Get crafty (and I don’t mean in a sneaky way π)
Maybe I could get back into bullet journaling again? I bought a lot of craft stuff on Amazon throughout Spring (comment “washi tape” if you wanna see a haul, I kid u not..I went wild so I need to start using some of it π ). Do you remember when my sis and I painted rocks for Christmas? (You can check out that cute lil number here). Well I’ve got rock painting kits from before then that are still waiting to be used so I may jump on them sometime soon (ouch π€£). I also have little needle felting kits that look super difficult to do so I’ve been avoiding them like it’s nobody’s business π. The options are endless!
Sooooo, thank you for reading my post π. I really appreciate the fact that you took time out of your day to do that βΊοΈ. If you made it this far, let me know something you’d like to do this Summer, I’d love to know! π
Stay tuned for more blog posts on the way, I might even get back into a schedule sometime soon, who knows but until then, I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I had fun typing it out! β¨οΈ Have a great week, stay safe, take care and buh-bye! πxx

Nice list youβve got there, Lucy! βοΈ I was wondering how you were doing and it was nice to see your blog post pop up in my reader.
I started eating summer fruits in Spring, or whenever fruit goes on sale. Especially watermelon ππ

Happy Summer, Lucy! π Your summer bucket list looks fun, I hope you get to do all of it! I hope to eat loads of ice cream and just spend time outdoors, maybe even go to the beach or a pool! I recently went through my bathing suits because I’m that excited about swimming! π

Here in India summer is about to leave and i guess in a week it will start raining here.
Eating outside is such a joy in summers. I couldn’t watch any movies in theatre this summer, actually i was planning to go this week for a new movie but there’s already a controversy about it so my excitement is over π
I don’t enjoy summers a lot but yeah ice creams and watermelons are a must β€οΈ

Isn’t eating outside just the nicest thing! Ahhh that’s such a shame about the controversy with the film u wanted to see, I hope u figure out a way to see it and its as good as you originally thought it’d be. YES it’s not summer without ice-cream π¦. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, have a lovely week π₯°π
