I'm on the hunt to find myself and hobbies that I adore and things to do that make me smile. I'm needing things to do alone or with your girl friends so I've curated a list of these things/hobbies from research and listening to other ladies experiences.
1. Find a book club to join
Or if you don't want to be in a club, pick up reading on your own. There are lots of resources to find book clubs! I've found it useful to search TikTok - 'City' Book Club. There's also websites and facebook groups, like Geneva, Fun on Weekdays Facebook Group!
2. Take pottery classes, paint pottery or try air dry clay
This one is on the top of my list for sure! Such a fun hobby to start. Search nearest pottery classes near you and you should be good to go! Or if you'd rather stay at home try Air Dry Clay. You can get this at Walmart, Office Depot or Amazon.
3. Paint candles with candle wax
This has been all over my TikTok! I want to host a candle painting night with my friends so bad! All you need is wax candles, paint brushes and either colored tea light candles or acrylic paint. Search TikTok for inspo :)
4. Take a cooking class
I'm not a huge cook, but I love the idea of taking a class for funzies. Sur La Table hosts classes or just search cooking classes near me! Be sure to find the one you can drink a glass of wine at ;)
5. Decorate and paint champagne/wine glasses for your apartment
This is such a fun activity to do by yourself or with friends. All you'll need is drinking glass of your choice and acrylic enamel paint. Pinterest has the best inspiration!
6. Take photography class
I've always loved photography and use it in my career and personally. This is something that I'm itching to do. I prefer local camera stores rather than big box stores for this.
7. Take a kickboxing class
This is a different type of workout that can be SO fun. If you are nervous going alone, ask a friend!
8. Vlog your weekends for fun
One of my secret passions if vlogging my trips, but obviously I don't take trips much, so I'd love to start vlogging my weekends with my friends. Really romanticizing my life here lol.
9. Create a blog
I'm always itching to write more blog posts, but lowkey get nervous. If you love writing it's a great escape goat!
10. Start a workout regime
Whether it's walking, yoga, pilates, cycling or just hitting the gym, you can't go wrong with this. Great for your mental and physical health. I'm trying to not look at working out as a chore, still working on it lol.
11. Learn to needlepoint, crochet or sew
THIS! I've ordered the Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory from Amazon and still researching which canvas I want to buy. But this hobby can be expensive, but if it makes me happy and I enjoy it than I am SOLD. From my research, Unwind Studio and Etsy are recommended for purchasing full kits.
12. Start rock climbing for fun
I used to rock climb when I was younger and just loved it. I think it can be a fun activity for anyone wanting to be active without feeling like it's a chore.
13. Learn to bake yummy goodies
Baking can be so rewarding. There's tons of TikTok or Instagram girlies that provide such great baking recipes! I also get lots of my baking excitement from Pinterest obviously.
These are just a few ideas! If you have any other fun things, comment below!
Happy Hobbies :)
