12 Productive Ways To Spend Your Spring Days | Collab w/CharisRae

Hey everyone! I hope you are having a splendid April so far! It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 months since 2018 started. In light of the spring season, I’m collaborating with Charis on this spring-themed post – we’re sharing with you 12 productive ways to spending your spring days. Be sure to head over to her blog to read the other 6 ideas!

Charis is an amazing blogger who publishes great content – if you don’t know her already, go check her blog out! She is so sweet and I always look forward to reading her posts 🙂

I know I’m super excited for you to read this post, so let’s start!

#1: Music Video| Do you have some musical friends who love to sing or play instruments? Gather them up and create a home filmed music video!

Find a place to film the video (a park, a forest, a playground, you name it!) You don’t need fancy equipment to do this – it can all be done on a phone or tablet!

Even if it doesn’t turn out good or you mess up, it’ll be a fun thing to look back on with our family and friends when you grow up…. or the next day.

 

#2: Take a Class | Ever wanted to learn a new skill? Around this time of year, there are many tutorial classes you can take. Here are a few that come to mind: baking, cake decorating, photography, painting, clay sculpture making, dancing, and film-making. Learning a new skill will definitely last you a lifetime!

Look up classes in your area and sign up for one. They usually are pretty cheap, and you can find one that’s an evening or one-afternoon class.

Double the fun by taking a course with a friend!

#3: Start a Business | Starting a business is so much fun! Plus, we all need a little extra money, right? If you’re into food and baking, try selling your goods at a local Farmer’s Market. Love animals? Pet sitting or dog-walking is a great option.

Like the smell of fresh blooms? Flower watering for neighbors while they’re away is a great way to earn easy money! This job can last you through to late August.

Design some business cards at Vistaprint or make your own cards and flyers.

#4: Play a Sport | What better time than spring to pick up a sport? You’ll have fun, make friends, and – most importantly – stay active. Try signing up for a sport that you’ve never played before!

If you have siblings or friends, ask them to join you. Having someone there you know is always a good idea!

#5: Journal | Have you ever heard the saying, “Printed photos are memories preserved?” It’s so true! Having physical photos you can look at without staring at a screen is a great thing.

Buy a new blank-page journal; or, using one you already have, journal fun events you’ve done over the spring. Add pictures, stickers, and quotes for a memory book that you can have as a keepsake to look back on.

#6: Explore | Your city may feel boring and old…”There’s nothing to do here!” you may be telling yourself. I know, I feel the same way. However, I’m sure there are places you’ve never been to before – cafes, coffee shops, boutiques, and thrift stores.

Explore what your city has to offer, wether it be right downtown or in the next neighbourhood, have fun finding new things!

Drive, take a walk, or ride your bike downtown… don’t forget to bring your camera to document your adventures. Make it a day by bringing a friend and doing a photo-shoot.
