Guys, I’m tired of winter. I want to lie on the beach and eat watermelon while the sun shines down on me. But this winter just keeps dragging on and it seems we have another rainy weekend on our hands. Summer is just not ready to come out and play yet, so I decided to make a list of things you CAN do on a rainy day rather than focus on all the things you can’t do.
- Have a movie marathon. Sometimes it feels really good to just lie on your couch, snuggled up with a blanket, while binging on junk food.
- Purge your closet. This is something that is always hard for me, but makes me feel so accomplished when finished. Get rid of anything that doesn’t make you happy or serve a purpose and you’ll instantly feel more organized!
- Invite friends over for a game night. Who doesn’t love a good board game every once in awhile?! My personal favorites are Balderdash, Scattergories and Apples to Apples. I’m also a sucker for puzzles!
- Bake cookies from scratch. There’s nothing like biting into a warm cookie fresh out of the oven on a cold day.
- Try a new recipe. Rainy days are perfect for staying in the kitchen and whipping up a good meal. Why not make that recipe you’ve been wanting to try?
- Read a book. Pick up a page turner and just read the day away!
- Make a vision board of all your goals and dreams. You can make a digital one using Pinterest of make a physical one by cutting pictures out of magazines. Look at your completed vision board often and make those dreams a reality!
- Give yourself some TLC. Paint your nails, take a warm bath, do a face or hair mask, whatever makes you feel good!
- Binge watch the latest and greatest TV show. Sometimes you just can’t help but get sucked into a TV show and now with so many different streaming services it’s so easy to binge watch almost anything. I just binged on Santa Clarita Diet and finished it in about 2 days.
- Get shit done! Those days when the weather is preventing you from going outside are the ideal days to get all the stuff done you’ve been putting off like cleaning the bathroom or doing the laundry. I know; not fun, but necessary.
