PACK A PICNIC<br />
The cooler days of late<br />
summer are the ideal times to<br />
pack a picnic - no sunburn, less<br />
bugs, but all the gorgeousness<br />
of the bright weather. Just<br />
remember to pack a cardi - just<br />
in case!<br />
SWIM IN THE SUN<br />
Swimming in the<br />
sunshine shouldn't<br />
only be reserved for<br />
holidays. If you can get<br />
the chance, and while<br />
the summer sun is<br />
still shining, aim to get<br />
swimming outdoors.<br />
Not only does it help<br />
promote better sleep<br />
and improve circulation<br />
and metabolism, it also<br />
helps creates a sense<br />
of happiness and helps<br />
improve mental health.<br />
As we move into<br />
autumn, cold water<br />
swimming can boast the<br />
same benefits.<br />
PLAY OUTDOORS<br />
Going back to school<br />
doesn't mean that<br />
playtime at home should<br />
switch to indoors.<br />
The start of the school<br />
year isn't overloaded<br />
with homework and<br />
coursework so let the<br />
kids play outdoors. It'll<br />
help them sleep better!<br />
HOST A GARDEN PARTY<br />
Make the most of the evenings by hosting<br />
a late summer garden party. It'd be a great<br />
opportunity to catch up with friends and family<br />
before we roll into the darker days of autumn<br />
and winter.<br />
GET ON YOUR BIKE<br />
This is the perfect time of<br />
year to get on a bicycle<br />
and visit new places. The<br />
fierce heat of the sun<br />
will be a little tempered<br />
by the cooler winds but<br />
the rumbles of the rough<br />
autumn storms are still<br />
some way off.<br />
Do plan for your journey,<br />
especially if it's going to<br />
be an extended one. Make<br />
sure that you stay hydrated<br />
and use sunscreen if it's<br />
a sunny day. Lightweight<br />
clothing offering plenty of<br />
ventilation will also help in<br />
the late summer heat.<br />
