Rainy Days

Most people don't like rainy days but for me, I love them. Especially on a day off as it gives you the perfect excuse not to go outside. You may as well make the most of the rainy day. Here are a few things I like to do on a rainy day. 

1. Make it cosy

I like to go all out when it comes to a rainy day. Switch on the fairy lights. Light a candle in my bedroom and just make the room nice and cosy. Even if it means doing a little tidy up to get rid of any clutter laying about, it's worth it in the end. Especially as the inside gets dark and dull when it's rainy plus your main light may be too bright. The perfect balance is the warm glow of some fairy lights and a few candles. Plus if there is a power cut then you won't be affected as you already have candles lit and battery-powered fairy lights.

2. Read a book

Honestly, being snuggled up when it's raining outside and having a good book to read is just the perfect feeling. Having the sound of the rain against the window is a nice background noise to have while you read. It just makes it all the more worthwhile and perfect excuse to start reading that book that's been sat on your bedside table or your bookshelf gathering dust. With your room cosy as well, you may as well read a good book on a rainy day.

3. Have soup

I don't know why but I love a bowl of soup and it always feels better when it's cold and wet outside. Honestly, I find it the cosiest meal to have when it's raining outside plus it doesn't take much effort to heat it. Of course, you can also make a homemade soup too which gives you something to do but also tastes even better when it's homemade. 

4. Pampering

Another perfect thing to do when you're stuck inside is to indulge in some self-care. Whether it's pampering yourself by having a bath and doing a face mask or just washing your hair and doing some skincare. Take this opportunity on this rainy day to take care of yourself because you are important. Even if it's something small like trimming your nails or shaving your legs. Just do something that you know will make you feel better about yourself because you deserve to be taken care of and you may as well do it yourself. So go ahead, have a little pampering while you can on this rainy day.

5. Movie day/Binge watch a series

Finally, a rainy day is a perfect excuse to stay in bed and watch movies or if you're feeling up to it. Binge watch a series you love or a brand new series you've been meaning to watch. I started watching Peaky Blinders for the first time a month ago and I loved it. I don't know why I never watched it before. Another series I watched during the first lockdown was EastEnders (technically not a series but a soap) I binge-watched 29 episodes in one day and from there I watch EastEnders now regularly. You may find your new favourite show from binge-watching a series. I randomly decided to watch the first episode of Peaky Blinders and from there I was hooked. Sometimes having a day at home when it's raining outside is the perfect excuse to watch a series or have a nice movie day. Something I would recommend doing the next time you have a day off and it's raining outside. 

So, those are all the things I like to do on a rainy day. Let me know what you enjoy doing when it's raining outside. Are you someone that embraces the weather and goes outside or are you a homebody kind of person who just needs the rain as the perfect excuse to stay inside? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post. 

See you then.
