make august your best month yet

The countdown is on. Even though we are still in the midst of summer fun....the sad reality is that fall is just around the corner. It is August already! If the thought of scattered leaves and morning frost leaves you feeling a little depressed, there’s a one solution: make the most of summer! With several weeks left of summertime bliss, it is possible to make the last few weeks of sunshine both memorable and action packed.

Take a Look At Your To Do List

Maybe you wrote a summer to do list at the beginning of the season. You know, all of the seasonal activities you wanted to enjoy this year. Or maybe you never got around to writing it all down at all. Well, this is the time to either take a look at your list or create one now. Take a moment to ask yourself, what did you want to do that you haven’t yet? It might be to go for a long bike ride, head to a water park, or spend time on the patio with friends. Other suggestions include going to a theme park, splashing out on a girls night out, or have a picnic lunch. Come up with a realistic list and write it all down.

Actually Cross Things Off Your List

That leads us to the next tip: cross things off your to do list. It’s time to stop putting off summer plans and start making them a reality. Don’t say next week or later this summer. The clock is ticking, so do it now. It’s easy to get sidetracked…but once you know what you actually want to achieve, you can start to make concrete plans. Pull out your planner, set aside some time, and get in touch with friends and family. Your social calendar will be filling up in no time. Remember: without proper planning, September will sneak up before you know it. So, make a commitment now to those fun end of summer activities. 

Make the Most of Late Summer Events

It doesn't matter where you live. There are always lots of things to see and do! If you aren't sure what is going on in your town or city, do a quick online search, check out the local newspaper, or talk to friends about what they've heard. For instance, in my area there is an awful lot coming up. Like the annual CNE (known as the Canadian National Exhibition, which features fair rides, games, food, and even free live music), tons of different baseball games, Buskerfest, and so much more. Find out what is happening where you live and make the most of those end-of-season events. 

Reconnect With Friends and Family Members

Sure a fancy dinner is great on its own, but when you add in a little company, the evening instantly becomes more exciting. Want a great end to the summer? Then don’t do it alone. The success of your summer season will depend on the people you have around you. Take this time to reconnect with old friends, call up your loved ones, and hang out with your best pals. Their company will make the last few weeks of summer even better. You can grab a quick bite, have a fancy sit down meal, or even plan your own end of the summer barbecue. 

It’s always sad when summer starts to winds down. Instead of dreading the return of cold weather and scarves, make the most of the time you’ve got. With these tips, you’ll be able to enjoy the remaining days of summer however you choose.

Another way to make this your best month? Give yourself a glowing tan with a self tanner like the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze. There is a full review up on my YouTube channel if you are interested....
