Things to do this Summer: Surfing!

Summer is almost here and June and July will be busy for everyone. Whether your going on vacation or trying something new. I definitely want to hit some nice beaches, Maybe in Dubai, and just enjoy the waves. Some of my other friends are trying new things, which I thought were exciting to try out because I have never done it myself. It’s Surfing! I would be a COMPLETE newbie and actually, come to think of it, I would be terrible at it. I do think if you go to the popular beaches, you will definitely find a lot of Surfers.

If you want to try surfing or learning how to swim this summer (Just Like I do)…hey better LATE than NEVER, right? You might want to be well prepared:

1) Obviously, getting the right apparel for surfing requires a woman getting asymmetric hem women’s surf clothing and aqua dynamic wetsuits

2) I believe durable surfboards is another important prop to take when your going on a surfing trip.

3) A good Tutor or teacher to give you beginner lessons of course

Anything else, really would be up to you. If you know of anything else that is super essential when going on a surfing trip or learning how to surf, let me know!

Anyone tried surfing or does surfing as leisure activity?

Rainy Days

I’ve always disliked rainy days. They made the perfect sky look Delphic. When I was little, my mother always took me to my cousin’s house to play. In our country, in that time of year, it really did used to rain a lot and it would flood up outside. They had a cute little pond with little toads and very decorative surroundings. I really enjoy that. I would love to do that myself when I move (in 6 months time).

Anyway, my cousin’s mother was obsessed with copper rain chains and practically had nice decorative ones, and this is back in the day. Nowadays, I hardly see unique decorations in homes like that. I guess everyone has their own opinion. I did manage to see a japanese rain chain at a friend’s place, something that she bought a while back. It was really pretty. Similar to this:

I think many rain chains symbolize traditional value, because of the different types of designs in them. The lotus one is very pretty and a great garden accessory. They represent a beautiful alternative to a closed gutter downspout. It makes a beautiful decoration for your home or garden area. That is why many prefer this over the other methods. I, personally love seeing traditional elements as well and if they are in the form of exotic copper or metal form accessories, I enjoy it even more.
