40 Mori Girl Summer Activities


Summer is here! That means less layers and a lot of heat beating down on you. Where I live, summer is everyday, so I'm quite used to it.
However, the heat isn't all that bad. You get the chance to wear big sun hats, tie your hair up in cute pony tails, and to dress in Hama Kei. If you didn't know, Hama Kei  is a cousin related fashion of Mori Kei (Hama 海辺  means "Seashore" in Japanese), but with a beach theme. Read more about Hama Kei here.

On a side note: A friend of mine gave me a bag of star shaped sand called foraminifera. They're absolutely gorgeous and she found them on one of the beaches here. I'm definitely going to get more star sand and put them in a special jar.
Anyways!
As a forest dweller, you wonder what are some things a mori girl can do during the summer. I have created a list of things to keep the typical forest girl occupied during such season. Enjoy!
