Weekend
just got better, woke up to the smell of a freshly brewed coffee. Weekend
mornings are the best because nothing beats taking your time getting up,
enjoying your breakfast, slowly sipping your coffee and just enjoying your
window view. We work ourselves so hard during the work week, stressing,
worrying and always rushing, it’s nice to just slow down during the short
break. I know our Instagram post always includes eating out, binging, partying,
and yes sometimes shopping – but believe me it’s not always the case. Relaxing
doesn’t always mean we need to spend, there are frugal, simple ways to just
take a break, enjoy the moment and create your calm. So as the month gets closer to end and so as
our monthly budget, we present our cost free list to relax : |

2. Read a book – well reading isn’t for everybody, hmm... a fashion magazines will do!
3. Listen to music – sing along to it, we are
guilty of listening to old songs on Sundays and we sing along to it aloud! (err
…OPM)
4. Write a journal – it can be a letter to self
or just something that you are thinking at the moment, who knows it can be a future entry to your own blog!
5. Call a friend – it’s because of social media
that we just don’t pick up the phone that often, reconnecting with a good old
friend can be a good feeling.
6. Light a candle – there is something about the
flicker of light that is so calming and romantic.

7. Go for a walk – we’re lucky we have parks
near our place, it doubles up as a workout if done longer, but if it’s a
concrete jungle where you are, take a cue from my good friend Sen – its clears
the mind!

8. Go jogging – it’s torture if you’re doing it
for the first time, but after a few times, it does feel good, bonus is, you get
fitter every day! No need to feel so guilty about eating the whole slice of
cheesecake.
9. Cook and eat your meal in silence – we ladies
enjoy cooking right, try enjoying your masterpiece alone.
10. Take a bath – we always rush
in the morning, so during weekends a good scrubbing, soaking and facial is a
must for me, its pamper time in the shower!
Lastly
when you go out today, give someone a SMILE, it’s very powerful you could be
making someone’s gloomy day to be better. Can you add more to my list? Have an energizing break ladies!
xoxo,
Clyde
