Sober Saturday’s

This 2025 I’m trying to lower my alcohol intake. And while that’s a good thing, one not so good thing that this has been leading into is a rut of just not being social. I find most Saturday nights I’ve been on my couch but that is no way to live. There is still so many things you can fill your Saturday nights if your planning on skipping the booze and going sober, so these are some of things I’ve been leaning towards and have on my to do list for those nights I’m staying sober.

Bowling

I went bowling the other night and I forgot how fun it was! Whether you’re there to have fun, or with a group that likes to get competitive it’s a blast. Me and my friends always seem to get far too competitive for a friendly bowling game but hey. It’s still fun.

Movies

I feel like I’m always waiting around for things to come out on Netflix and Disney+ so I never actually go to the theatre to watch things, but going to the movies will really step up your movie night. It gets you off the couch and out of the house but you can keep your sweat suit and still just chill – the best of both worlds. 

Go Karting

Something you definitely could not do under the influence. I rarely go go karting but when I do it’s the best time. Me and my friends love to race around the track and time ourselves (we’re a competitive group). 

Axe Throwing

I’ve actually never been axe throwing but this is on my list to do this year. I mean it seems like the perfect anger release and next time I’ve had a bad week instead of releasing my stress through a couple of beers, I’ll opt to throw an axe at a wall, sounds good right?

Night time Snowboarding 

A lot of local North Shore mountains offer a night time ski rate so it’s more affordable to go at night. It’s also beautiful, if you go up to Grouse mountain you can take in Downtown Vancouver shining city lights from up above and at the same time, take in the mountain fresh air.

Don’t let your sober living stop you from having a good night, there’s a world of fun out there waiting to be had and the best part is you get to skip the hangover the next day and wake up feeling good!

Underrated Sports: Part 3

The NFL, NHL, and NBA are my go-to leagues for a sports fix—they’re packed with nonstop action, and there’s always a good game to watch during the season. But sometimes, when my team has a night off or I’m just in the mood for something different, I like to switch things up. That’s where Youtube comes in and I’m watching random sports that wouldn’t usually be my go to. They might not get the same spotlight, but trust me, they bring just as much energy and excitement.

  • Surfing

Only recently surfing got put into the Olympics and I have to say that really got me into watching surfing. Whenever I’m somewhere with a beach and waves I always try to get some surfing in, I’m not any good either I just catch the waves and stand up but being able to watch the pros is super cool. It makes me wish I grew up in Hawaii and was a super cool surfer girl but it also lets me live through them. It keeps me on the edge of my seat too, it gets my adrenaline pumping and I can’t get enough.

  • Snowboarding

Like surfing, but minus the water and you’re strapped in. Snowboarding is such a fun sport to watch because every athlete has their own style. There’s also different events in snowboarding like freestyle, park, and the half pipe so it’s fun to switch around and see all the different things the athletes do. It’s such a versatile sport because although it’s all the same equipment each is so different and takes a different skill set. I find the half pipe so entertaining so next time you’re clicking through channels, give snowboarding a try! 

Coastal Riders

  • Windsurfing

Continuing my theme with the surfing type sports, windsurfing is soooo cool to me. For some reason the thought of me trying it freaks me out so it would never be something I’d give a go but that’s why I love to watch it. The height and speed these athletes get can be pretty insane. It’s a beautiful sport that looks easy but I just know it would take an insane amount of strength.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the same routine, but switching things up can be super fun too, so next time you find yourself bored clicking through the same channels trying to find something entertaining, give these sports a try and I can guarantee you will be hooked right in.
