Okay so obviously the world is going broke poor… and doing fun things requires money right? WRONG. Try to do things that require less money or maybe even not a dime, you will be surprised how much more fun you could have and happier you will be.
1. Cooking at home!
This is actually starting to become a new trend! Even your favorite celebrities are cooking more family meals. Although you still need to spend some money grocery shopping, you can buy things in bulk and forget going out to eat and spending twenty dollars on a little tiny steak, that wasn’t even cooked the way you like it! So this summer try some new recipes with your friends and family, maybe have a barbeque, either way put your cooking skills to the test while entertaining your guests!
2. Scrap booking!***
Lets be real now, Facebook is not going to last forever, and if it does, well I am sure you don’t want that to be your only photo album to show your kids when you get older. It might sound lame, but scrap booking can be really fun and cute to look back on when you get older!
3. Get off Facebook! Stop texting! Have more face to face interaction!
This is pretty much common sense, but you would be surprised when you think about how much time you waste on Facebook, or texting when you can simply talk in person and her about that story last night, instead of reading it on your phone. It’s no surprise anymore that people are really loosing social skills because all we do now is stalk people’s lives on Facebook instead of living our own!
4. Go to the park!
I honestly don’t remember the last time I went on the swings, okay well I am almost 20, but still having a picnic with your friends and just hanging out is when you can have the most fun. Even going to central park in the city is such a great idea for a weekend mini trip. Instead of shopping at the mall, or being inside, take advantage of the gorgeous day outside!
5. Do Yoga or Pilates (or hey! even yogalates)!
Yoga and Pilates are workouts that can sculpt and shape your body. While yoga is more of a meditation exercise, uniting the mind, body and spirit, Pilates focuses on concentration, control, and centering and strengthens your powerhouse (abdominal muscles, pelvis, booty, and lower back) At first yoga and Pilates can be a little challenge, but after a few classes, it becomes easier and you will feel great inside and out! (And finally have that longly anticipated “beach bod” )
*** - We even do it! and love it :)
