5 OF THE BEST WAYS TO UNWIND THIS WEEKEND

. THE WEEKEND RELAX EDIT: 5 OF THE BEST WAYS TO UNWIND .

Lately i’ve been living for the weekends, that time away from work, to myself, to see loved ones, relax, dedicate some time to my blog & generally just live a little. Whilst the last couple of weekends have been jam packed with weddings and hen do’s (I am away this weekend in Somerset for a girly hen do weekend), I still always like to find a little time for me.

So today I thought i’d share my 5 favourite ways to unwind on the weekend, and hopefully you can use a couple of the ideas tomorrow to have a super chilled Sunday.

MY 5 FAVOURITE WAYS TO RELAX ON THE WEEKEND

#1 BLOG

I love to spend a good few hours on my weekend catching up with my blog, shooting & editing for the week ahead and generally catching up on all your guys blogs too. Whilst I blog everyday of the week, my weekend is the chance I really have to catch up on all my favourite bloggers content & really get my content sorted for the week ahead. I find blogging so relaxing and enjoyable it’s an essential part of my weekend relax routine

#2 MAGAZINES

I have always been a magazine obsessive, I used to spend all my earnings on magazines when I was at college, and for years kept and collected all of my favourite editions. These days I’m a little more selective and now only have subscriptions to Elle & Instyle, probably my two very favourite magazines. I don’t get much time these days to sit and really indulge in my fave mags, but when my subs come through the door each month I always try and dedicate a good hour to reading them with a good cuppa! This weekend they’ll be my pool side reading – perfection.

#3 FIZZ & PAMPER

I can’t pretend fizz & pamper time happens every weekend, but I do like to indulge a little at the weekend, especially when there’s a special occasion to celebrate like there has been the last few weekends. But when the time for champagne isn’t there, simply just spending some time pampering myself is always a nice treat, a long lazy bath, a good hair wash & beautifying session, or simply a nice hot water bottle & a movie with a glass of red wine. A little indulgence is always a nice weekend treat.

#4 SHOP

I do most my shopping online these days, mainly for ease & also I like getting deliveries, but on the weekend I do like to hit my favourite hot spots in London for a little browse on the high street & a late brunch to finish things off. The Kings Road & Westbourne Grove are two of my favourite weekend  shopping locations, they have my favourite stores & plenty of fab restaurants and cafes for well needed coffee & cake breaks.

#5 FRIENDS

There’s nothing better than spending time with my friends and family, and the weekend is the best time to spend some quality time with my nearest and dearest. Whether it’s a BBQ in the garden, a little dinner party or simply a coffee date in between running errands. Using the weekends to spend time socialising is the best way to relax, unwind, have fun & maximise your time off work. I’m forever planning weekends away with my girl friends, escaping London to visit my family back home or simply just planning fun things with my friends.
