Beating the Heat With Summer Essentials

Summer Bucket List Ideas

Go for a bike ride

An easy way to both exercise and feel like a little kid again, going for a bike ride in a picturesque location is a great way to spend the summer. I recommend renting bikes in an area near a beach right before sunset.

Learn a new recipe

Whether you want to start out simple with a no-bake dessert or add onto your existing culinary knowledge with a full course meal, learning new recipes is a fun way to spend the summer. You can even invite friends over and share your favorite family recipes! This is also a great way to learn about the culinary aspects of a different culture, or even to save money and cook instead of eating out.

Go Stargazing

Whether you live in a place where you can easily make out constellations, or a city where the pollution blocks the starlight, a great summer resolution is to take advantage of the clear skies. With the weather working in your favor, these cloudless skies provide the perfect opportunity to take a roadtrip away from the city or spend a night camping out in your backyard.

Summer Soundtrack Essentials

Part of creating the perfect memories includes having the perfect soundtrack playing in the background. I compiled my favorite summer music essentials for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing song to stargaze to or a song to dance to all night long, I wanted to share my personal favorite summer jams.
