My weekends are incredibly precious to me. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday and I try my best to get the most out of those two days. This looks different from weekend to weekend, but regardless of busy-ness or laziness, I always try to come out of it with something beautiful. Like a photo of four smiling women with cocktails or a book read. Mostly, I enjoy a weekend that has a perfect mix of cozy at home (or in nature!) and seeing friends and/or family.
Here is what my ideal weekend would look like:
Friday. I love a Friday night in. It doesn't always happen, but nothing beats a pizza delivery and wine in a stemless glass on a Friday night.
- Finish work by 5 PM (as per usual).
- Make dinner or order takeout. I love cooking with my partner and for my friends these days, so I would probably choose that over takeout, but see above.
- Catch up on TV shows or watch a movie.
- Relatively early bedtime (like 10 or 11 PM).
- Wake up with no alarm set. Most likely this will be 6:30/7 AM because my dog is a menace.
- Throw on a cute active wear set and walk the dogs (three miles).
- Whip together a delicious egg based breakfast with my partner. Sit and chat while we eat.
- Shower and get ready for the day.
- Noon: either plan a day activity like visit a museum or shopping excursion with my partner or girlfriends or both!
- Otherwise, sitting outside (maybe poolside) reading.
- Food would either be a charcuterie board with a lot of fruit to snack on or a sandwich and chips - homemade or ordered out.
- An early dinner around 5:30/6 PM. Somewhere super cute with fabulous shareables and cocktails.
- Home around 10/11 PM and asleep by midnight.
- Wake up with no alarm set. But once again, will likely be 6:30/7 AM because my dog is a menace.
- Take the dogs on a shorter walk (maybe one mile).
- Slide back into bed for another hour or two. Either fall back asleep or read in bed.
- Officially get up around 10 AM and throw on a comfy, but cute dress and make breakfast or head out to brunch.
- If I want to get out of my apartment, after breakfast/brunch is the perfect time to head to an antique mall.
- Otherwise, I will plop myself on the couch for reading or journaling or puzzling.
- Make a late lunch/early dinner around 4 PM.
- Evening/sunset walk by myself or with my partner/girlfriends.
- In bed by 9 PM with my book.
