Ditch the boots and reach for the SPF, it’s time to soak up that much needed sun! From spontaneous road trips to warm nights on the patio, here are some of our favourite ways to spend more time outdoors this summer.

Plan a camping trip

Long weekends are the perfect time to plan a fun nature getaway. Just round up a few friends or your family, pack some camping gear, and get ready for an unforgettable weekend. Don’t forget the snacks!

Host a BBQ

What better way to enjoy the outdoors than to host an evening BBQ with friends and family. It’s time to fire up the grill, grab a bag of Doritos® Ketchup flavoured tortilla chips – a Canadian favourite - and whip up some creative recipes. Go wild!

Get active

Take your exercise routine outside. Go for a jog around your favourite neighborhood or bring your yoga mat to the park. Life hack: pack a small bag with water and snacks so you can spend more time outdoors without going hungry.

This year, make small resolutions that will boost your overall happiness!

Practice gratitude.
Note three things you're grateful for every day before going to bed. It’s nice to reflect on what we have, rather than always thinking about what we don’t. Enjoy the little things!

Spend more quality time with loved ones.
It’s so important to make time for the people who are dearest to you. Why not commit to a lunch date or coffee break on a regular basis?

Take the time to disconnect.
Set aside some time every day where you switch your electronic devices off and give yourself some breathing space. Read a book, do some coloring, or work on your gratitude journal.
