1. Content Creation
Start creating your own content rather that is fashion, lifestyle or beauty. The summer is the perfect time for trial and error because you get more hours of sunlight.
Buy a tripod, shoot outfit photos, start creating Instagram Reels, TikTok’s, start vlogging your life. To not only create content that could help others but to also document your life.
2. Plan a sunny beach day
Pick a sunny summer day for you and friends or family where you all can go and soak up the sun. Look up your local beach and plan a trip. Make it fun by bringing your favorite beach accessories, games and foods.

3.Try new restaurants
There are many TikTok’s pages that showcase good food and locations for tourist and residents to visit in different cities. VibesDetroit is a great TikTok page that shows tasty restaurants and bars in the city Detroit or in Michigan. They also have a website that is great for finding out new places in the city.
4. Take a Vacation
If you have the funds, or even if you can save a couple hundreds, buy that plane ticket or even train ticket. Take that chance to explore a new city. You can even plan a road trip. Not sure if that’s best idea in these gas prices though!
5. Spend a day or evening at your local park.
Grab your favorite book, drink and blanket and head to the park. Find parks in quiet neighbors to have a more peaceful evening. Or you can go when kids are at school or around the time it’s not going to be a lot of people out to enjoy the quietness.
