It feels like yesterday I packed my bags and went to LA to spend a month June on a west coast adventure with my best friend. I really can’t believe how quickly our month has gone by, but I decided to have it as hard as the epic in July. Since my roommate is returning to Texas, we talked verbally everything this summer together (including renting a bed / bathroom), I’ve been doing things in July to entertain myself, on my own.
I’m as simple as starting to think about the August to-do list and getting back to reality, I’m doing everything I can to be present and take the whole last month of summer.
If you’re like me and wondering what to do in July, this list is for you. If the weather is perfect and you want it stay away all day long (Californians, I’m talking to you), or I can’t be away for more than five minutes without shedding a sweat (hi, Texans), you’re covered. Look for items like a list of containersUse it to inspire your ideas, take some and leave some – whatever your strategy, here’s the final list to do in July.
