Your Weekend Reset

Ready for a weekly reset? Try a few of these tips to unwind, connect, or get creative. We’ve got you covered to make the most of your downtime!

• Weekend Your Way: Pick a day this weekend and make it all about you and your most indulgent, do-whatever-you-want activities. (This is one I maaaybe indulge in a little too often…) Want to binge your favorite show for hours without moving? Grab the snacks and settle in. Prefer to lounge with a good book and ignore all adult responsibilities? You do you, boo. Whatever your ideal lazy day looks like, embrace it wholeheartedly. Sometimes self care looks like bread crumbs and bathrobes, we don’t judge here.

• Learn a New Cocktail or Mocktail Recipe: Find a recipe that sounds fun (umbrella garnish optional) and get to work shaking, stirring, or muddling. Whether you go for a classic mojito, a trendy mocktail, or something with a name that makes you blush, it’s all about experimenting. Bonus points if you name your creation and declare it your official signature drink. Who needs a bartender when you’ve got skills like these?

• Reconect with an Old Friend: Now if this doesn’t slot in perfectly with making yourself a fancy drink and hanging out in bathrobes, I don’t know what does. Do you have someone you’ve been “meaning to text back” for months? Now’s the time! Send a quick message or even get a little crazy and give them a call (yes, people still do that, I mean… I don’t, but some people do). Catching up with an old friend is like revisiting a favorite book, familiar, comforting, and full of good stories. You’ll both walk away smiling, and who knows? It might even inspire a future coffee date or adventure.

• Book Recommendation: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
  I first read this book backpacking Europe, and if you’ve never read The Alchemist, this weekend is a great time to start! Love it or hate it, it’s one of those books that everyone says you should read at least once. It’s the story of Santiago, a shepherd who follows his dreams across deserts and through challenges, all while dropping life lessons that hit you right in the feels. This book is a gentle nudge to listen to your heart, chase your passions, and trust that life’s journey, twists, turns, and all, has meaning.
