Summer ≠ Boredom
Summer is about to begin and for many of us, travelling is not an option for a way to spend it, getting bored and sweating seems more like our summer definition… let’s change that!
Looking around the social media two years ago, I found this thing called “a summer bucket list”. I then remembered I had read it and seen it in movies but always though they were too hard or elevated for my age. So I decided to make my own summer bucket list and I gave it a twist of fun.
I then shared this idea with two of my best friends and we created our own list. Without further ado, I will enlist some ideas for you and your friends to choose which ones are age, location and budget appropriate.
Switch phones for a day (are you dependent of your phone?)
Buy the same clothing item! (we chose some cozy sheep socks)
Go to the nearest dress shop and try on the ugliest dress you can find
Do each other’s make-up at night
Prepare some questions on little paper strips for a pj girl talk
Get a fake tattoo
Dye your hair temporarily (cool-aid, beer and lemon are good to go)
Get a tan (beware of too much exposure though)
Try Spaghetti tacos
Make a very spicy mix and eat it without drinking water (fuego chips, salsa…)
