Hit the Beach

While the sea is calm, it’s time to enjoy aqua sports activities. Many beach resorts now offer different water sports activities such as, banana boating, jet-skiing, kayaking, kite-boarding, snorkelling, etc. But don’t forget to apply sunscreen protection with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) to guard your skin from excessive exposure to the sun. If the sun is too much to bear, you can always find a good spot along the beach. Enjoy the scenery or relaxing with a book in hand.

Explore Inland and Climb Mountains

If you’re not a beach buddy, how about exploring the inland, summer is also the best time to go hiking and climb mountains. This is one activity that will make you appreciate nature. It will give you a different perspective and rewarding feeling. So take that hiking gear and follow the trail with your friends and of course the guide.

Relax Outside Home

When summer comes, summer brownouts also are infuriating the consumers, especially in areas where the majority of the power sources are from hydroelectric plants. Rotating brownouts had become a part of our lives here in Mindanao, since 30 to 40% of our power sources are dependent on water. Instead of getting annoyed, why not enjoy the outside (literally). Inflate those rubber pools, fill with water and have a refreshing dip. It’s more relaxing and stress free.

Stay Cool in the Mall

If you hate summer heat, why not spend time in shopping malls. This is one of the places where air conditioning units are at full blast, and you get to enjoy it for free. The hitch is you get tempted to shop and eat while you’re there. No problem with people with a lot of money to spare in shopping and still have room to gain weight.

Learn New Things

Summer is also the best time to learn new things. Summer classes like, piano lessons, dancing, painting or even entrepreneurial seminars are being offered. Who knows during this short period you’ll get to realize that there is an artist hidden inside of you.

Sweet Seasonal Fruits  

Fruits, fruits, fruits. When you are living in a tropical country like in the Philippines, fruits like mangoes are quite abundant. So better enjoy them, while they are still in season and usually very cheap.

Spend Time with the Kids

And most importantly, summer is vacation time. The kids are free from school and that means we have more time to bond, play and enjoy each other’s company. After all, parents are the kids’ best friends, so make the most out of it while they are still young.

These are the reasons to find summer more exciting than any other season. While you are at it don’t forget to keep hydrated. Always bring with you a bottle of water and of course your beauty regimen like your favorite shampoo and conditioner. Tresemme shampoo and conditioner is always with me not only during the summer, but all throughout because Tresemme always gets me my salon-gorgeous hair even under the heat of the sun.

Thanks for reading. I hope you will also find your reasons to enjoy the summer.
