Where I come from it doesn’t always rain, but when it does, it pours! In fact, I love rainy weather. From the rainy leaden sky to the summery thunderstorm I love it all! I love walking out in the heavy rain with no umbrella ella ella e e e e! I love the smell of the grass recently kissed by the drain drops… It all gives me such a powerful feeling of inner peace and a state of joy. I don’t really care about the silver linings because “I’m only happy when it rains… I’m only happy when it’s complicated…” I am actually. But since annoying stuff like pneumonia are stopping me from wandering the street while the rain is pouring, I made a list of fun things to do indoor while waiting for the sun to come out again.

Read a book
I bet you all saw that one
coming. Well, yeah, I like to lit my lavender scented candle by the bed and
just get cozy with a good read while I listen to the thunderstorm outside. I usually
have my eternal cup of dark coffee with me also and it helps me get in a
relaxing mood.
Well, yes… in fact, rainy weather
is usually cold weather so why not get a warm or even hot bath for a full
relaxation. It’s also one of my favorite things to do while it’s raining
outside. I like to just sit in my bath tub, listen to music and enjoy the
warmth. You can also bring your book with you or your tablet if you’re sure you
won’t drop them into the water. Well, it happens.
Start a DIY project
Oh my God! I love DIY and getting
all crafty with all sorts of things. I love spray painting things, I love
sewing stuff, gluing all kinds of materials to build something… I just love getting
all creative and I suffer when I can’t find the time to work any DIY project or
I don’t find the materials I need. Lately, while it rains outside I like to
stay indoor and craft yoga silk bracelets. It’s like my new obsession.
Exercise
Mmmmyeah… that doesn’t sound like
fun so much, but I become fond of it. I spend a lot of time sitting around a
desk in front of a computer and I get this urge for running a few miles,
jumping a fence, climbing a tree, or just do a little stretching… It gets
boring when you have to spend a day in because of the bad weather and if you
don’t want to get sleepy or anything, I
recommend you exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at least. I guarantee it will be
worth it, ‘cause I’ve tried it!
Bake a cake
I just sent you to exercise
earlier and now I’m corrupting you to fill up with something sweet. Don’t
worry, you are worth it! Google some new cake recipe that is easy to do with
just 5 or 6 ingredients that you already have in your kitchen and get busy!
I bet many of you will fancy this
one best of all. I personally love getting cozy in my bed, with my blanket and
my laptop and watch my favorite all time movies or some new ones or I like to
catch up with the latest episodes of my favorite series since I don’t always
find the time to watch them during week day…or nights. It might be just my
guilty pleasure, but I like to keep my popcorn bowl or my chips bag close by
when I’m watching movies.
Pamper yourself
When outside is raining I think
it’s an excellent idea to bring out your face masks and body scrubs and have “the
beauty session” you know you deserve. Sure, have your own spa day in the
comfort of your home. It will make you forget all about the bad weather outside
and when the sun comes out it won’t be the only thing shining bright out there
if you know what I mean!
