Things to do on a rain day

Hello,


It's been raining and with a lot of people being on school holidays right now, I thought I would share some ideas of things you could do on a rainy day. How many times have you woken up, seen the rain and said, Oh no, I can't go anywhere. What am I going to do today? There's actually a lot you can do. You can still have fun in our own home.





Here are some ideas.


Read a book: This is my favourite thing to do. Lay in bed or wrap yourself in a blanket on the couch and read. You can take a break from your busy life and transport yourself to the world of the characters for a while. If you're not really a fan of books, grab a magazine.


Watch movies and TV Shows: Have a movie marathon and/or binge watch your favourite TV shows. I like having film series marathons like watching all the Harry Potter or Twilight Saga films.


Exercise: Rain is no excuse not to exercise. Grab a mat and do some stretches, yoga, sit-ups, push-ups or whatever. If you have an exercise bike or gym at home, get on it!


Write: Get all your feelings out in a journal or write a fanfiction or some kind of story. You could even put your stories on Wattpad and share them with people.


Bake or cook: Put on an apron and whip up a sweet treat for yourself and your family. Cupcakes or warm choc chip cookies sound good right? You could even try out a new recipe from the internet or a cookbooks


YouTube: Catch up with your favourite YouTubers and subscribe to new channels you find interesting. Some of my favourites are Rachel Lea, Sarah Betts, LaurDIY and Lilly Singh.


Listen to music: Put on a CD or listen to your favourite songs on your phone or whatever device you use. If you're alone and feel like it, have a dance. Hey, nobody's watching so go crazy! If someone is with you and you're not worried about being judged, dance anyway and they may even join you!


Take photos: Get dressed up, do your makeup and have a little photoshoot. Don't have anyone to take photos of you? That's ok, set the self-timer on your camera and pose! Another way to do it is film yourself posing and then take a screenshot. You can take photos of things and people around our house and garden.


Go for a walk: If you don't mind the rain and want some fresh air, put on your boots and a raincoat.


Hang out with friends: Invite some friends over to spend the day. You can do all the things mentioned in this post together.


Play games: Grab your friends or family and play a board game or card game together. Monopoly, Scrabble and Uno are favourites.


Art and craft: There are so many creative things you can do. Colour in an adults colouring book, paint, draw, sketch or do some paper craft like origami. Create a mood board or vision board, personalise a notebook or put our photos in a scrapbook.


Sleep: Who wouldn't want to stay in bed on a rainy, miserable day. Just take a nap.


So those are just some of the things you can do when it's raining.


I hope everyone is having a good week.


Vishi xoxo

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
