5 Cool Activities You Can Enjoy At Home Now That Summer Is Upon Us

As John Mayer crooned, ‘Cause a little bit of summer’s what the whole year’s all about.’ - summer, for us, brings back a lot of memories. It reminds us of those long summer vacations spent under a mango tree, the sweet scent of Mogra that envelopes the air just when the sun starts shining bright and devouring numerous orange and mango bars! Well, summers are back, but since everyone is stuck inside their homes, here are some indoor activities that will help you enjoy the season just like the good old times.

1. Invest In An Inflatable Pool

Cooling off in a pool is an activity that is enjoyed by all age groups equally and is also a great way to bond with the fam.

Scorching days also call for fruit popsicles that you can easily make at home, too!

These healthy and delightful popsicles will make your summer days sweeter, so do give ‘em a try.
