2. Indulge in Summer Fruits
Enjoying colourful fruit and vegetables will help support your overall wellbeing this summer, and put a smile on your face. Of course, there is nothing better than fresh strawberries and watermelon on a hot afternoon at the beach. Or how about corn on the cob, slowly cooked on the barbeque or fresh tomatoes in your salads. Go on, indulge!
3. Start a Fun Tradition
Starting a fun tradition with your family and friends can help revitalise your summers, and give you something unique to look forward to each year. Perhaps you have a summer dinner with friends and rotate who hosts, with everyone bringing their favourite dish to share, or embark on a road trip to a beach you’ve never explored before. Start a summer book club or have a painting day. Get creative with it, and have fun!
4. Plan a Getaway
If you can do so, getting out of town and zipping off to an iconic summer destination in Aotearoa can elevate your season. Whether you would prefer the peace and quiet of Lake Tekapo or the vibrant Miami-like energy of Mount Maunganui, planning a summer getaway will give you something to look forward to, and an opportunity to make some special memories with loved ones. Go on, you deserve it!Â
5. Try Make Your Own Treats
