8 reasons to look forward to summer

Summer is FINALLY on the horizon, with the clocks going forward this weekend we're super excited for the white hot heat! Not feeling those summer vibes yet? Here are 8 reasons that'll get you wishing it was summer all year long.

1. Barbecues all summer long!

There's only one real way to signify the start of summer, and that should be done with a ceremonial lighting of the barbecue.  The start of summer deserves a celebration after all, and there's no better way than inviting your friends over for beer and a barbie.

2. Did somebody say Christmas?

Christmas is THE reason I love summer.  A gathering of friends and family with enough food to feed an army, life-long traditions and of course gifting!

3. Slip 'n' slide fun

Looking for the ultimate summer cool-off?  We've got just the thing! Slide Melbourne will (hopefully) be back this summer for another day of slippin' and slidin' through the streets of Melbourne, check out their Facebook page for updates and book your space.

4. So long, school year

Summer = another year of school accomplished.  Take your summer off as a chance to recuperate and refresh yourself, plus think of all those Netflix series you're planning on watching!

5. Are you vacation or stay-cation?

Planning a summer getaway? Or even planning an awesome cross-country road trip? It's summer, so why the heck not. Grab your friends, your passport and board that plane - you've got sights to see!

6. Race day celebrations

It's coming up to that time of year again.. Melbourne Cup Day!  Even if you're not interested in the ACTUAL event, there are still some killer celebrations going on around the country and it gives you another great excuse to gather your friends for a par-tay!‌

7. Time To Break Out The Summer Gear

Time for a wardrobe update! Let's pack away the winter gear for another year and focus on the summer wear, and don't forget you can save big bucks on your favourite brands including The Iconic, Beginning Boutique, ASOS and more with your UNiDAYS discount.

8. Festival season

This year you'll find me living it up at Strawberry Fields.  Other festivals that are definitely worth looking forward to include Harbourlife in Sydney, Falls Festival and Electric Gardens!
