Zooey Deschanel Gives Advice on Summertime Fun

Zooey Deschanel will be on the cover of SELF Magazine's August issue. In an interview with the magazine, the actress shared some of her favorite things to do to enjoy summer which she claimed as her favorite season. "Summer has always been my favorite season. I feel happier," she stated.

Zooey started giving her tips by saying, "You can't force fun, but you can set up situations where fun will happen to you." The "Yes Man" star then advised, "Sprawl in the grass for a little bit. My suggestion is to put on an all-green outfit and roll down a hill."

Included in Zooey's list of favorite activities to do during the warm months of the year is reading "a mystery novel in a hammock." But since she hasn't had a hammock, the star said she "will read and reread Raymond Chandler's 'The Lady in the Lake'" on her sofa.

Moreover, according to Zooey "Nothing's better than a picnic" as she mentioned it in the No. 8 of her list. Speaking to SELF Magazine, she also suggested people to sing along, particularly The Beatles' or Motown's songs.
