The Best Way to Curate the “Endless Summer Feeling”
Want to feel like summer never ends? The key is to be present and enjoy each moment. Here are some fun and relaxing ways to unplug this summer:
Read a Book by the Pool

Plan a Trip to the Beach
The beach is the perfect place to leave your phone behind and enjoy nature. Feel the sand between your toes, listen to the waves, and breathe in the salty air. Whether a quick trip to Port Aransas or a vacation to the East Coast, a beach trip can be refreshing and rejuvenating for the soul. Remember your beach bag essentials!
Create a Summer Bucket List
Make a list of all the fun things you want to do this summer. Whether visiting a new park, having a picnic, or trying out a new activity, having a list can make your summer more exciting and memorable. Checking off each item will give you something to look forward to all summer long.
Pick Up a New Hobby
Ever wanted to learn how to paint, garden, or bake? Summer is a great time to pick up a new hobby. It’s a beautiful way to spend time creatively and keep your mind active without needing a screen.
Arrange a Bouquet of Flowers
There’s something special about arranging a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It’s calming and creative and can brighten up any room in your house. Spend some time picking flowers from your garden or visiting your local H-E-B Blooms Department and get creative with your July Lone Star Living bouquet. Arranging them can be a soothing and rewarding activity. Visit our Instagram and Facebook pages for flower-arranging tips from our expert designer, Andy Hopper!
Host a Summer BBQ
It’s peak BBQ season in Texas! Gather your friends and family for a good old-fashioned cookout. Good food, great company, and the outdoors make for a perfect summer evening. It’s a beautiful way to connect with loved ones!
Cook a New Recipe
Challenge yourself in the kitchen by trying out a new recipe. Whether it’s a fresh summer salad or a sweet dessert, cooking can be a fun and rewarding way to spend your time. H-E-B has all the essentials to get creative in the kitchen – remember to add fresh flowers to your shopping list! Light a candle, pair your Lone Star Living Bouquet with a fun and summery vase and make a night out of it! You deserve a ‘you’ moment.
Go on a Walk
Taking a walk in the early morning or evening can be incredibly refreshing. Explore your neighborhood, visit a nearby park, and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Curate your perfect summer playlist, listen to a podcast, or immerse yourself in an audiobook while soaking up the sun!
