We’re nearly there; eventually we can replace the beautiful sunshine outside with dark mornings on the way to work and dark evenings on the way home. But don’t let that excitement stop you. Here are five ways to enjoy the summer when you are stuck in the office.

Frozen Treat Day

Find out what day will be the hottest this week and bring in an ice cream sandwich or choc ice as part of your lunchtime snack. When you have a treat to look forward to, your sunshine filled day will just fly by.

Make an ECO Desk

Bring the outside in, brighten up your surroundings. The colours are said to improve mood and who doesn’t like to look at a good plant. We suggest a Peace Lily plant as they are known for cleaning up the air, helping to remove toxins and create a nicer environment to work in. It’s tolerant of low light and is a vigorous grower too.

Fruity Water

What a great way to use up the last of your fruit. Cut up a few oranges and blueberries, or strawberries and lime, throw them into some water and put it in the fridge. We promise, it’ll taste like a safe for work summer time drink. Or if you don’t have fruit to hand, a bottle of Robinsons with cold water would always do the trick.

Change your Commute

In a few weeks the schools will be back, it means there should be a little less traffic on the road at the moment. So, now is the time to experiment with different routes, you never know what shortcuts you might discover or what you might find along the way.

Be Active at Lunch Time

Is there a cycle path or a nice walk you could be taking instead of reading blogs on office life? Go for it! Head outside; make the most of the sunshine while we have it. It could be a long winter so let’s get outside when we can and enjoy it!
