Answer 1

Here's some things that will keep you busy -

When you're kickin' around with your mates:

Host a lunch/brunch/dinner party

Dig out your mum's cookbooks, hit up the grocery store and cook up a storm for your best mates. Choose a theme for your party and make canapés, drinks, mains and decorations to suit your theme.

Beach games

Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean you need to sit around on your butt all day. Gather your crew for a day at the beach. Better yet, take a football or a volleyball set down their and get active on the sand.

Learn to surf

Have you ever noticed that girls who surf just look so darn cool? We think it's because they look so fit, active and they ooze confidence from excelling a sport that used to be predominantly for guys. Check your yellow pages to find a local surf school and brush up on your board skills. Who knows, you may even get a cute instructor for extra perve value.

Host your own open-air cinema

Rent a bunch of your favourite flicks, drag the telly and couches out into the backyard and create your very own open-air cinema.

Have a styling session

Get your friends to bring over a pile of their clothes and spend a night styling each other. You can dress each other up in looks you would never usually wear and maybe even swap a few pieces. What a cheap, fun night!

Go camping

Borrow a tent, torches and a sleeping bag from your folks and camp out in your backyard. Take an esky with you and stock up on yummy snacks and drinks. Sometimes you have the most fun when all you've got to entertain yourselves is each others company. It will be a great bonding session.

Set up your own beauty bar

Pool all your beauty products together and set up your very own private salon at home. Take turns at pampering each other with facials, manicures and pedicures. Make healthy drinks and snacks to serve and put on relaxing music, just like at a real day spa.

When you're hangin' with your boy:

Have a picnic

Pack a picnic full of all his favourite foods, grab a blanket and set up in a secluded park or beach. Spending time together without the company of each others mates will only bring you closer together!

Take a walk along the beach

There's nothing more romantic than walking along the beach, hand in hand with your boyfriend. There's just something about feeling the sand in your toes and listening to the crashing of waves that screams soppy love story.

Cook him dinner

Instead of going out for sushi or Thai like every other date night, why don't you try and cook him a meal. Find out what his favourite meal is, consult a cook book to find out how to perfect it and wow him with your domestic skilss. He'll be super impressed!

When you're on your lonesome:

Have a baking day

Don a cute apron, channel your inner Martha Stewart and try your hand at baking treats for your fam. If you want to get something in return for your efforts, set up a stall and have a bake sale.

Paint some artwork and decorate

Feeling inspired? Head to your nearest art store (or two dollar shop if you're on a budget) and buy some paints, brushes and canvases. You can decorate your room and the rest of the house with your creative pieces.

Make your own X-mas cards and gifts

The cheapest way to get through the giving season is by hand crafting gifts and cards your self. All you need is a few bits and pieces from the craft store, a little imagination and you've got the makings for a fun and productive day.

Do a little summer cleaning

The best way to start the new year is with a clean and organised bedroom. Get stuck into clearing out all your old gear, cleaning up your furniture and organising your room so that it feels fresh and clean.
