If you’re anything like the HQ girls, you’ve got a long list of things you “NEED” to do this summer… and we’re here to break out our top 10 with you now. So girl, get ticking.
1. Vineyard tour
Calling all the winos out there (soooo, basically all of us), this bucket list item definitely ticks off all our boxes. You get to put on a cute summer dress, get dolled up and enjoy a nice day taste testing a wine, or 10… up to you.
2. At-home spa day
Yep, time for the full glam routine. We’re talking facials, netflix, snacks, and nails… the whole nine yards. Throw out the invite in your group chat and get ready for an at-home spa day with the gang.
3. Host a brunch with your girls
Let’s be real - Sunday brunch is basically a religion to you. But this summer, try putting your expertise to the test and host a brunch for you and the girls. Don’t worry babe - just make it potluck style to save on some work!
4. Festival
Well, Coachella may of already passed, but lucky for us… summer brings with it tons of concerts and festivals to attend. Do a quick search of your area to find the best ones coming up, start putting together your cutest festival outfit, and get ready for a killer weekend.
5. Hit up a nice hiking trail
Yep, time to grab one of your girls, put on some cute workout gear and get some fresh air at a local hiking trail. Not only are you going to feel totally refreshed for a big night out afterwards, but the Insta pic you’ll get from it is basically calling your name.
6. VIP Girls Night
Let’s face it… sometimes being extra ‘extra’ is totally worth it, and this is definitely one of those times. Unleash your inner celebrity this summer with a limo and bottle service for you and the girls…oh, and don’t forget the max cleavage with your Original Push-Up.

Sadly summer is over, but this article was super helpful for me! You can legit do almost any of these suggestions no matter where you live. Lucky for me, we have all kinds of nice hiking trails, beaches, wineries, and great camping spots. So me and the girls had a killer summer. But when we wanted a chill night – bring on the nail polish, face masks and of course a glass (or two/three) of wine.
