A Summer Bucketlist
A Little list For Summer , The Digital Summer Letter Exchange Project and recent Instagram saves
Hello lovelies!
I hope you're all doing amazing! Lately, I’ve been feeling so inspired especially with the new eBook that’s in the works. I’ve got tons of ideas swirling in my head for upcoming posts, and as promised, I’ll be sharing a few articles and essays that are featured in the eBook.
Not everything of course just a few sneak peeks to give you a sense of what it’s all about. And at the very end, I’ll let you in on what I’ve finally decided to do… but I’m keeping that a surprise for now hehe
Also, I’m honestly surprised (and grateful!) to see how much Mimy’s Journal is growing day by day. I had actually started another newsletter (
on a separate account, but for now I think I’ll keep posting here. I’ll make the switch later when the time feels right so just stay tuned, there’s so much more to come!
Today’s post is all about inspiring you to create a little list for summer . This idea post has been on my mind for so long, and I’m finally bringing it to life for all of you I really hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together!
As I write this, I’m enjoying a Madeleine with little chocolate , while watching a girl on YouTube organize her Filofax journal (so aesthetic, it made me want one too!). I spent hours scrolling through TikTok, collecting summer inspiration, ideas, and cute things to do honestly, it was such a fun spiral.
One of the best things you can do for yourself this season is to create your own summer bucket list.
Write down every little goal, dream, or experience you want
Personally, I’ve noticed that bucket lists help me actually do the things I write down more than traditional goal-setting does, which is kind of surprising but really motivating! I’ll be sharing a few things from my own summer list soon too, so stay tuned.
Here’s my honest advice if you want to make this your best summer yet: don’t just keep things in your head. Write them down in your Notes app, your journal, or even on a dedicated summer page. Get creative: decorate it, make it pretty, and make it yours. You can even create a list of your summer “ins and outs” to define your vibe for the season. Look for inspiration from other girls who’ve made their own lists, then craft your version with love. This is your sign to romanticize summer, one handwritten dream at a time
My Summer Bucket List:
This summer I want to slow down and do more of the little things that make me happy. So here’s my personal bucket list it’s full of things I’ve been dreaming about, and I hope I actually do them this time (not just write them down and forget ).
Go on more solo dates beach days, random park afternoons, and just time alone doing soft things.
Try a new perfume every month this summer something fresh and different to match each vibe.
Learn how to do soduko , and do more crosswords instead of being on my phone
Start Drawing
Read at least one book recommended by my Substack mutuals or maybe 2 or 3 if I get in the mood.
Document my little life with subscribers
Meet besties , go to cool events
Read more essays and finally publish my ebook before September (or maybe August if I push myself).
Watch The Life List movie I’m actually so excited for it omg.
Watch more K-dramas and C-dramas
Curate my Pinterest properly no more pinning random stuff! Just intentional, dreamy vibes only.
Watch The Summer I Turned Pretty in July and catch up on all the new series and movies coming out.
More sun time, more ocean swims, more hours doing nothing in the water.
Write more letters and penpal messages especially to my besties and long-distance friends.
Try the cookies and Madeleines I saw at that luxury bakery the other day I still can’t stop thinking about them.
More pilates days
Take a few vlogs around my favorite city (I’ve been lazy on YouTube because… storage issues lol, someone help pls).
Journal every day/ gratitude list.
Hopefully get a digital camera it’s been a dream for so long.
Try at least one new makeup product (I’m being good and using up what I have, but it hurts to let go of favs
Watch so many movies now that I have time, I want to catch up on everything.
New crush for summer,, Maybe a celebrity obsession, a new hyperfixation, or… someone real
Digital Summer Letter Exchange
I’ve always wanted to bring back the magic of penpals—that beautiful, intentional exchange of thoughts, stories, and sweet little letters. And now that summer is here and everything feels fun and full of possibility again, I thought it was the perfect time to launch something special: a Digital Summer Letter Exchange for my community!
I feel so grateful to be connected with people from all over the world, and I’d love to take that connection deeper. Here’s how it works: I want you to send me a digital letter just a few words or even a long message sharing your thoughts, hobbies, summer goals, anything on your mind , why you like Mimy’s Journal , then you’ll receive a personal digital letter from me filled with affirmations, thoughts , cool links , what i’m loving lately , movies to watch this summer and little seasonal inspirations. You can email it, DM it I can also answer your questions
If you’d like to join, just comment or DM me and I’ll add you to the list and send you my email via DM 💌🌸💌🌸
You can find more guides , personal essays and diaries in The Cool Girl Files ebook so make sure to register and pre_order
I’ve also decided to launch a space where I’ll be sharing exclusive, paid content think curated online courses, digital planners, PDFs on a variety of topics, and much more. This will be content that brings real value, carefully selected and created. So stay tuned!
In few days or months I’ll be unveiling my online store.
See you soon lovelies 🪽
