Spring is here! With April just around the corner, fresh blooms and blue skies await. Undoubtedly, now is the best time for families and students on school breaks to enjoy the outdoors before the harsh heat of summer rolls in. In this article, we’ve listed activities everyone can enjoy, along with an emphasis on the essentials. Whether you’re a business owner searching for ideas or a visiting aunt looking for the perfect giveaways, these products will surely come in handy.

1. Hit the beach!

Relax your eyes and mind by gazing at the snowy-white fine sand and cerulean waters by Jumeirah Beach early in the morning or by sunset. Apart from packing your perfect beach outfit and sunglasses, don’t forget your sunscreen! A high SPF sunscreen like Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 50+ should be applied 20 minutes before going outside and reapplied after every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Since this should be lathered across the entire body, especially around the face and neck, sunscreen easily runs out. It’s best to keep an extra bottle at home so you never run out when a spontaneous trip arises! Aside from sunscreen, have some cooling gel moisturizer to soothe your skin and a tube of waterproof lipstick to look fresh all day. Instantly Instagramworthy!

2. Go on a Roadtrip

Stay safe from the crowds without compromising your right to a beautiful view by opting to go on a road trip instead. Play your favorite music on the speakers, turn the AC up, and unwind from the passenger’s seat as you peer out the window. Now that it’s getting hotter, make sure you stay hydrated—don’t wait until you reach the next gas station!

Some refreshing snacks that belong in your cooler include:

• Chilled watermelon slices
• Freshly squeezed orange juice
• Apple juice from a bottle

But nothing replaces good, plain water. Make sure to always have a six-pack of Evian 1.25L ready in the car for you and your family.

3. Have a Picnic

Who says you need to go far away to enjoy the outdoors? Picnics are a wonderful variation from the usual breakfast or dinner at home. It can be as simple as a blanket and basket under a tree or as extravagant as with string lights, roses, and a three-course meal. Here are some ideas for your picnic:

• Tea or hot chocolate (served the British style!)
• Finger sandwiches
• Biscuits
• Fresh fruits
• Chocolates
• Check out JomlahBazar’s wide array of available snacks for more ideas

Stay safe and have a wonderful April! Don’t forget to wear your masks, sanitize, and stay a safe distance away from the crowds.
