*This post is all about cozy summer hobbies*
Summer is one season away from the ultimate cozy season we love. If you are like me, you are probably spending the next few months counting down to the warm lights, cozy clothes, and amazing fall smells. But fall is still a while away and we shouldn’t waste the warm weather.
Being a cozy person means struggling to find summer hobbies. And while you can do hobbies all year round, the weather just might not make it worth it. (like crocheting in 100-degree heat!)
I came up with a list of my favorite hobbies that are perfect for summer. My goal with summer hobbies is to try and be outside in some way. But of course that is not a requirement!
Here are my favorite cozy summer hobbies.
Going for long walks
Walks have been my go to warm weather activity for years. I love the feeling of the warm air on my skin. My favorite time to go is during sunset for all the beautiful views.
Find a trail near you or just walk around your neighborhood. For years I would walk my neighborhood park. Not only did I get to exercise that day, I ended up meeting people who had the same routine.
I love to combine this with my other cozy hobbies. Bring some headphones and listen to an audiobook or podcast. You can also bring your camera along and get some amazing photos.
Creating a garden
Gardening is the ultimate cozy summer hobby.
I grow indoor plants all year round. But my favorite is growing plants outdoors. It can be relaxing to sit outside and work on your garden every day. And seeing your hard work grows brings such a feeling of accomplishment.
Some of my favorite things to grow are peppers. It has become such a big hobby of mine that I try to grow a new type each year.
Flowers are a great place to start as well. They are so beautiful! You can take countless photos or cut them for you home.
If you want to garden but don’t know how this post is a great resource to get you started.
Outdoor movie nights
You can also enjoy the summer weather by sitting outside and doing a normal cozy activity.
Choose a cool summer night and sit outside with your laptop watching your favorite movie. Get extra cozy with a blanket and some snacks.
Or take it a step further. Drive your car to a fun spot and sit in the back watching a movie.
Reading at the pool
Reading is another one of my favorite summer hobbies because you can enjoy it in many ways.
During college, I would have to take online classes. I didn’t want to miss out on all the summer fun by sitting inside studying. So I would take my textbooks and go read them at the pool.
I have always worked best using the Pomorado method, so this worked perfectly at the pool. At the end of each hour, the pool would have a 15-minute adult swim. I would read for 45 minutes until the whislte blew, then I would take a break and swim.
I still do this now. Instead, I just take my Kindle and read my favorite book.
I also love to sit on my deck with an audiobook while playing on my Switch when not at the pool.
There are so many cozy summer hobbies
This is just a small list of the cozy summer hobbies you can do. Really, any hobby can be done during the summer. But sometimes it can be fun to have a hobby that gets us outside and enjoying the current season.
