🌻 Things To Do Alone in the Summer
|
Solo summer activities you’ll love—no matter your relationship status. I usually spend winters hibernating. Living in the UK, where you essentially experience six to eight months of gloom every year, I find my life energy reawakens with the return of spring and summer. But this summer hits differently. It’s my first-ever summer living alone. Since I’m in my early thirties, many of my friends are busy with their kids and/or are away on holidays with their partners, so I’ve found myself spending a lot of time alone—but I didn’t want that to stop me from making the most of these scarce, sunny months. So I created a bucket list of solo summer activities. Turns out, there are plenty of things to do alone in the summer that are just as—if not more—fun to do without a partner or screaming babies in tow. Are you on your own this summer? Soak up the sunny days with this guide of what to do alone in summer: THE SHORTLIST: 8 things to do alone in the summer

Gifts that look good, feel good, and DO good. It’s that time of year again. When every brand you’ve ever interacted with (if only via a few, long-ago clicks) begins force-feeding you a list of “must-haves” for the holiday season. Things you need. Things your mom needs. Your partner needs. Your best friend needs. But you know what they’re not telling you? You don’t need it. Really. You don’t need more plastic. You don’t need more expensive, poor-quality clothes you’ll forget about come...
Wisdom, distilled. The Internet loves to write think pieces about how we’ve lost our attention spans. Where did they go? Social media is one obvious culprit. I personally like to pick on TikTok for reasons such as : 5 TikTok Challenges That Left Thousands Injured and Over 100 Dead. In general, I’m pretty anti short-form video and the fact that information is becoming more and more condensed into visually-stimulating, “aesthetically-pleasing” 30-second sound bytes. Give me words. Give me...
Because life after social media is lighter, richer, and just more enjoyable It’s not easy to put down the phone. For many of us, it has almost become an extension of ourselves. Some people even carry it on a chain around their neck or attach a micro version to their wrists. Most of us can’t leave the house without it—and our heart stops when we think we’ve misplaced it. It’s not our fault. The phone is shiny, expensive, alluring. And companies are literally spending millions of dollars to...
