It is January 2021, and we are slap bang in the middle of a beautiful South African summer! Summer for us means sunshine, seeing your friends, outdoor activities, and a few mocktails by the pool. Long summer days allows you time to do more fun activities for yourself and with those you love. Enjoy this summer with a fun guide to soak up every moment of the best time of the year with your Memi bracelets as the perfect companion.

Memi’s Bracelets:

We are loving bracelets this summer for their qualities of being easy to wear, light, and cheerful. Memi has bracelets on offer that will shine on any summer occasion. The Memi bracelets are uniquely designed and can be personalised to whichever design you feel best emulates the beauty that surrounds this time of year. Memi bracelets all vary in pricing and therefore will suit any summer budget.

If your social calendar is jam-packed, then Memi’s bracelets are a quick way to elevate any outfit whilst on the go. If you are seeing family members which always feel the need to comment on an aspect of your life, distract them with multiple beautifully paired Memi bracelets. No matter the occasion or who you will be seeing, Memi’s bracelets are a great item of jewellery for all summer activities.



Placing an Order:

The best part about Memi bracelets is that you can design and order them online whilst you wait for your sunblock to soak in. Follow these easy steps to order your Memi bracelets:

1. Open the menu tab and click “bracelets”.

2. Peruse the numerous options available until one has caught your eye.

3. Select your metal or satin cord of choice.

4. Personalise accordingly.

5. Enter any special-order instructions.

6. Add to your cart, and once you have finished shopping proceed to checkout.

Delivery:

Memi bracelets get even better with their super speedy delivery. Once your order has been placed your bracelets will be dispatched within 24 hours, and if you are locally based in South African then your item will take between 2-3 working days. If you are internationally based then your item will take between 5-7 working days, with possible extra costs subject to customs duties and taxes.

The best part about the Memi’s delivery is that it is free to your door. Once your order is placed the only thing you need to think about is which of the activities in the summer guide you are going to do next!


Summertime Sadness:


Summer is all about feeling relaxed, reconnected with yourself and your loved ones, and just having a good time. Except, summer also falls alongside December seasonal festivities. Suddenly your plan to spend hours by the pool with a book is cut short by Christmas present shopping, countless family get-togethers, end-of-year office functions, and all the costs and admin that is attached to these events.

Being strapped for time and money in summer can have you singing Lana Del Rey on a loop. Therefore, we have compiled a few easy-to-do activities for any summer occasion to ensure that you are loving every moment of it. These are all relatively inexpensive which gives you the chance to splash out on not just one of Memi’s bracelets, but enough to suit any summer activity!

Summer Activities for Yourself:

1. Catch some Rays: Sunshine cannot be emphasised enough when planning summer activities. Set yourself up on a comfortable cushion and absorb all the goodness that comes with relaxing on a summer day. During this activity, it is important to keep your skin protected with an SPF sunblock and alternate between sun and shade.

Also, remember to keep yourself well hydrated when in the sun for an extended period. The great thing with Memi bracelets is that you do not need to take them off when soaking up some rays. The metal chains are resistant to any possible sun damage.

2. Closet Clear-out: Set some time aside to get your closet summer-ready. Put all your winter woollies into a box and store them separately to keep your closet neat and functional. Remember that clothing does not belong in the bin. Separate clothing into piles for either repair, selling, or donation.

Clothing that is completely damaged can be torn into small squares and used as cleaning rags around the house. A closet clear out is a great way to ensure that you have summer outfits at the ready, or space to fill your cupboard with some new summer trends. Going through your clothing can also inspire you on new combination styles and allow you to find the perfect Memi bracelets to match!


Summer Activities with Friends:

1. Bonfire: Summer allows you to take advantage of clear starry evenings. A bonfire evening with a few close friends is what true summer memories are made of. Set yourselves up with a decent stockpile of wood to burn, blankets to lay about on, and some mandatory marshmallows to roast on sticks over the fire. Here is a little tip for all fellow gardeners; keep leftover ash from the bonfire and combine it into your garden soil. Ash has many benefits for soil including neutralising acidity, adding nutrients, and elongating fertiliser absorption. Certain woods have more specific benefits that can be researched beforehand and bought specifically for your bonfire.

2. Beach: Go and get some sand between your toes, salt on your skin, and sore cheeks from smiling for the entire day. Whether your group is interested in getting a great tan or burning some calories with some beach rugby or a water sport, the beach is a free space to make your summer activities awesome. Memi bracelets will shine under the sun adding some sparkle and interest to any bikini or beach outfit.

Summer Activities with Family:

1. Cloud Gazing: Spend time lying flat on your back, emersed in some ever-green grass, and stare straight up into the blue abyss. This is a great way to relax, feel more grounded in the present, and allow your imagination to take the front seat. Lie alongside your loved ones and see who can come up with the craziest or most spectacular cloud shapes! Plus, this is a great way to show off your new Memi bracelets as you point out what you see for those needing some extra assistance.

2. Plant a Vegetable Garden: This is a great way to spend any sunny Sunday with your family. This activity is especially great to do with children of all ages. Planting a vegetable garden allows you to get down and dirty in some rich soil, teach your children how vegetables or herbs are grown and have the satisfaction of saving some cash on your next few grocery bills (meaning extra money to spoil yourself with some Memi bracelets!).

If Vervet Monkeys habitually roam your area and you do not want tomatoes with big bite marks out of them, we suggest investing in a covering. You can make your vegetable garden covering as simple or as aesthetically pleasing as you wish, but just remember the vegetables enjoy the summer sun and rain as much as you do!

Summer Activities with Someone Special:

1. Date Night: Summer allows for endless possibilities when it comes to planning a date night. Choose between stargazing at home, a delicious meal at your favourite restaurant, doing some sight-seeing in your area, or an activity specific to your relationship which you both enjoy. Whatever the event, you can easily dazzle your special someone with some romantically inspired Memi bracelets.

2. Hiking: Getting out into nature is the best way to bond with a special person in your life, and we suggest a hike as a great summer activity to do this. Find a nature reserve near you, pack a back-pack with all hiking essentials (water, camera, snacks, plasters), and plan your trail together. We always love a hike that leads to a waterfall as this provides you with a great reward for your effort! Stand with some water streaming over your head, your hands in the air, and ask your special someone to take a great snapshot of your summer moment. Getting your Memi bracelets wet is not a problem, allowing you to enjoy splashing around care-free.


Lockdown Activities:

The COVID-19 Pandemic may have halted many of your summer plans, but that does not mean you have to sit twiddling your thumbs till the end of the season. We have a few ideas on small ways you can make spending your time at home feel like a summer vacation.

1. Watch the Sun Rise: In a season which highlights the sun as the focus, why not take a little extra time out of your day (or sleep) to greet it a good morning. Wake up earlier than normal, make a cup of coffee, and find a spot in your home with a view of the sunrise. Not only does waking up early feel like you have a sneaky head-start to your morning, but also those few precious moments of stillness in the morning can have you in a great mood for all activities planned for the day.

2. Smoothies: Nothing shouts summer louder than some delicious drink in a fun glass. Try out a couple of smoothie recipes this summer to keep yourself feeling as fresh as an afternoon after a summer rain shower. Here is a Mango smoothie recipe we are loving for a refreshing summer flavour:

• 1 Mango, sliced and frozen

• 1 Banana, sliced and frozen

• 125ml yoghurt; either plain, flavoured, or a yoghurt alternative

• 1 tbsp granadilla pulp

• 125ml milk or milk of choice

o Place all ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth

o Place in a tall glass and enjoy with a reusable straw

o 1-2 Servings

1. Shake it Off: Create a summer playlist with a mixture of the latest hits, summer vibes, your old favourites, and anything in between which gets you up off the couch and dancing around your home. Turn it up loud and sing along if you know the words. Dancing will boost your endorphins and have you smiling from ear to ear. Depending on your dance moves, you may even be getting your body into your goal summer look. Dancing around the room with some Memi bracelets on your wrist will have you feeling like a star!

Just because you may be staying at home does not mean you still do not get to enjoy your Memi bracelets. There is something so empowering about getting changed out of your pyjamas and into clothes that have a purpose for your day. Set a summer-ready tone for your mindset for the day with Memi’s bracelets.

Take back your summer with this fun guide to inexpensive and time-effective activities. Do not forget to use these occasions to show off your great summer style with Memi bracelets.
