Summer is practically synonymous with parties, outdoor activities, and games with friends. Even with apartment living, you can have your own summer fun and host a memorable event for friends and family. Throw some food on the grill, serve up some mocktails, and enjoy the warm summer weather.

Mocktail Recipes

Enjoy the refreshing, summery flavor of guava–and the beautiful pink color–with this simple recipe from Mindful Mocktail. Mix three tablespoons of guava nectar and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Muddle six to eight mint leaves and add to the guava and lemon mixture. Pour the mixture into a glass with ice and fill it with soda water, about one cup.

A cocktail shaker is helpful but not necessary. There are also plenty of easy ways to make changes to this mocktail. If you can’t find guava nectar, you can substitute mango or apricot nectar for a drink that’s just as delicious, and you can also substitute mint syrup for fresh mint and lime juice for lemon juice. For an adult twist, use rosé or sparkling wine instead of soda water or kombucha.

Games and So Much More

The simplest way to enjoy games is by hosting a game night with friends or family, which can easily be moved outside to a porch or patio when the weather is warm. You could also host a movie night. Turn your apartment into a cozy home theater with plenty of blankets and pillows, and pop some popcorn and get takeout from your favorite spot. And, of course, you can always enjoy your apartment’s outdoor amenities like the pool and fire pit.

 

Apartment living doesn’t have to mean sacrificing summer fun. There are still plenty of great ways to host a party and entertain. With these simple yet delicious mocktails and great games with friends, you can enjoy the long summer nights with your loved ones.

Transforming Your Bathroom On a Budget

Bathroom,Accessories,Setup

The one, two, and three-bedroom units at EVO in St. Petersburg, FL, offer residents spectacular ocean views, palm trees, and a glittering city. The bathroom in these sophisticated rental units offers the feel of top-tier living. Your bathroom space should reflect the same charm as the pink and green hotels of St. Pete’s Beach.

Decluttering Your Space

Every design adventure begins with a thorough “declutter” and a few bathroom hacks. Clear all the junk from the counter and buy over-the-door racks and shelving to store towels and larger bottles. A simple decorative wicker chest shelf can hold make-up, perfumes, and other objects.

Adding mirrors to your bathroom space can make it seem more spacious. A collection of hand mirrors or a single freestanding mirror adds a touch of charm to EVO’s classic white tiled floors and walls.

Elevate Your Bathroom For The Summer

Part of apartment living is decorating to reflect the changing seasons. Consider draping your bathroom window with a shower of hanging crystals that catch the light. Install a LED shower head that turns your shower water into different tropical hues as you clean yourself.

By stripping your bathroom of anything too banal or plain such as that chenille bathroom mat, and replacing it with a patterned woven straw rug, your bathroom space aligns with the vibrant beach life outside. A string of mini lights and seashells adds beach glamour to a bathroom mirror.

Tropicalcore Is a Summer Trend

If you want to be on the cutting edge of designer bathroom trends, think about completely decluttering all counters and going for the Tropicalcore look. Add bathroom accessories and towels in bright yellows, greens, crimsons, and pinks. This look is completed by a few real or fake tropical plants and a flower or jungle-themed shower curtain to make it seem like you are staying in an exotic Tiki-themed hotel.

Using Your Kitchen Space to the Fullest

You should opt for space-saving appliances that do double duty. A toaster oven bakes smaller portions and reheats leftovers while taking up less space than a full-size oven. A compact microwave with convection baking allows you to roast, bake and broil. A countertop dishwasher cleans dishes for one or two people without needing installation. Multi-function kitchen tools like an immersion blender, mandolin slicer, and spiralizer reduce the number of single-purpose appliances you require. With these simple changes, you can make the most of your space and improve your kitchen’s functionality.

Additionally, make sure the area is well-ventilated to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

Indoor Plant Care

Now that you’ve found the perfect spot, it’s time to focus on indoor plant care. Here are some helpful tips to keep your mini-garden thriving:

  1. Water your plants regularly: The frequency of watering depends on the type of plant and the potting mix you use. In general, strawberries require consistent moisture, while mint and basil can tolerate occasional dryness.
  2. Fertilize your plants: Indoor plants need nutrients to grow. You can use organic fertilizers or create your own compost using food scraps and yard waste.
  3. Prune your plants: Regular pruning can promote bushier growth and prevent the spread of disease.
  4. Monitor for pests and diseases: Common indoor plant pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. You can use organic pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap to keep them at bay.

Growing your own strawberries, mint, and basil can be a rewarding experience. Not only do these plants provide fresh ingredients for your mocktails, but they also add a touch of greenery to your apartment.
