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

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

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...
