Where I live, it tends to rain a lot when I’m planning to go out somewhere, and even though I can manage in the rain, it’s much more enjoyable to be out in the sun. However, weather forecasts aren’t always accurate, and sometimes storms come out of nowhere on the day you were planning to go shopping. Instead of feeling miserable all day and having nothing to do, why not take inspiration from some of the following ideas of what to do when it’s raining.
1. MOVIE MARATHON
Grab some of your favourite dvds, (maybe even some of your favourite childhood dvds?) cook some popcorn and just be lazy all day. You could even make your own toffee popcorn using Wonderland Wardrobe‘s recipe.
2. BAKING
I love baking, and you rarely need any fancy ingredients either. This was my first attempt at making rainbow cupcakes, and I love the way they turned out! I might post a recipe in future, but in the mean time, if you want to make your own rainbow cupcakes, you can use this recipe. Also, if you want more inspiration, I highly recommend Rosanna Pansino and Yoyomax12.
3. LOOK THROUGH OLD PHOTOS
I absolutely love looking through old photos, and laughing at how weird I was when I was a baby. I think I look really cute in this picture!
4. PLAY VIDEO GAMES
I’m obsessed with video games, especially Zelda, but I rarely get time to play them, so rainy days are a great opportunity to do that.
5. CATCH UP TV
I watch a lot of tv, but sometimes I miss some of my favourite shows, and catchup tv is really useful! I especially love TVCatchup.
6. TAKE PHOTOS
Just take pictures of your surroundings in the house, take your time to get the perfect lighting, and finish off by editing everything nicely. You could even post them on Instagram and print your favourites on Printstagram.
7. START A WRECK THIS JOURNAL OR A SCRAPBOOK
Scrap books are a great way of documenting ideas and memories, and you can go back and change them however you like.
8. DECORATE YOUR WALL
You can use anything you want, posters, sweet wrappers, train tickets, photos, cinema tickets, cereal box cutouts, drawings and quotes. Be warned, you’ll be using a LOT of BlueTack during this project.
9. LEARN SOMETHING NEW
I love learning things, and SciShow is great because firstly, Hank Green and Michael Aranda, and secondly because they have some really interesting yet funny videos.
10. START A BLOG
I started my blog when I was bored, and 7 weeks later, I’m still here. I’m really enjoying it! Why not make your first blog post a “10 Things” list?
