Prepare for Summer - ''Get Your House Summer Ready''

Summer Ready In 7 Easy Ways


I love to get excited for every changing season, mostly because I love to decorate and improvise my home accordingly :) Change is always good. You too should always have time to make little bits of effort for yourself and your home, no matter how lazy or how much of a procrastinator you are. It will make you feel good, happy and trust it or not; More Confident.

With summer, why not make your living space bright, fresh and colorful to match the outdoors? Bright sun, vibrant flowers, breezy oceans and everything that screams summer. :)
Here are a few ways and ideas that might inspire you:
(EASY, WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY)

1.Get rid of Carpets:

                                     Let your floors breathe :)If your floors are not glued with carpets, roll them up.Roll away the bulky rugs, leave small light ones. It will open up your space instantly & your feet will love it too :)

2.Bedding:

                 Your bed is the center of  attention of your room. During summer having light, bright fresh colored bed spreads and sheets will surely look and feel refreshing and "happy" :) No need to spend money. use ones you already have; brights colored one's. I personally love to use WHITE Bedding. It will give your room an elegant touch, make your room seem open and clean and let other articles in your room seem prominent (which we will be talking about below).

3.Add Color: 

                     Let it be in any form of art or decor you desire; Throw pillows, lamp shades, frames, decoration pieces, books... anything. Let your personality take charge.
Get Flowers (articicial or real, your choice) and set them by your bedside, your dresser, coffee table... This will add the pop of color you'll like to see everyday :).



4.Plants and Pots:

                               Again artificial or real. Green color is said to calm you down. Bring nature inside; a pot on your kitchen counter, a plant in your lounge, a vase by your washroom sink.
Your hose is now already starting to fell summery :).

5.Summer Scents:

  • Light up some summer scented candles around the house
  • Try aroma diffusers (there are various cheaper options around the market nowadays)
  • Make your OWN scent at home: 
                                  - 2 cups of water on stove at low heat
                                  - 2 lemons cut into slices (add into water)
                                  - some rose-merry / few vanilla drops
              Let this mixture simmer and house will smell deliciously fresh :).

6.Summer Treats:

                               Having treats and snacks lying around, that are summer themed, is a little bit of extra effort that you will surely love on hot days.
Here are some healthy treat and snack options:

  1. Frozen grapes (try them if you haven't already) :)
  2. Fresh juice/ fruit popsicles
  3. Watermelon slices (have some cut slices in your fridge)
  4. Lemon and mint infused water ( try other infused water recipies too find them online:) )
  5. Strawberries and chocolate/ chocolate syrup (small amounts of chocolate can not harm you :) )
Having these in your fridge, where you can look at them will make you reach for them. This will help you avoid unhealthy food as you'll be munching on them. A GREAT TIP to keep in mind :)

  7.Background Music

                             Having some lights fun beats playing in the background while you do your chores, cook, read, or doing nothing :) , will make you feel relaxed and happier :) Have some speakers around? wireless maybe? Well take them out then .Here are some options to help you out:
  • Free Falling (Topical Remix) --- THIS will make you hapy. Trust me :)
  • Happy Jazz
  • Other Tropical remixes --- see what you may like
