7 Indoor Activities You Can Do On The Days You Don’t Want To Get Sunburnt This Summer

If you’re anything like me, the sun hates you. And if I want to go outside I need to pack on level SPF 300, so I’m always looking for fun new things to do inside. Sure, some of these activities may be more suited for your grandma, but sometimes you don’t want to go outside so here are some new hobbies you can try out this summer!

1. Knitting

I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit but using two needles is a little too complicated for me. Maybe this summer!

2. Crocheting

Crocheting is similar to knitting except you only use one hook, which sounds even more difficult??

3. Cross stitching

Cross stitching is my FAVORITE indoor activity probably. I love getting a new template and getting all the new thread and starting on something new. I’ve made so many amazing pieces and it’s a great stress reliever during the school year when I’m procrastinating things.

4. Embroidery

You can use thread or yarn and literally create any design you want. And if you’re feeling really creative you can add beads or pearls or sequins.

5. Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking might be something fun to do at the end of the summer and you can organize your photos you’ve taken throughout the past couple months.

6. Painting

Painting is something that can be fun inside or outside. Take in your surroundings or just paint what you love!

7. Quilting

Something I’ve always wanted to do is make a huge t shirt quilt with all my old high school tees, band tees, and college tees and I think I might finally start on in the next couple months!


Overall, this summer is going to be amazing and these are just some of the super cool art projects you can test out while you're sitting inside with your aloe and sunburn!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
