I had so much fun reading all of your great ideas on How Do You Unwind After a Busy Week (Part 1). Sometimes I am so stressed from the week it is really hard for me to unwind and relax on the weekend. My goal was that together we could help each other out and share our ideas for a relaxing weekend. Here are your fabulous ideas!
PAMPER YOURSELF
Jill recommends a wonderful mani-pedi with a 10 minute massage and celeb mags! Hotmess’s favorite way to unwind is a massage and Diva and R.M Gilbert say that baths help a lot! Oh that sounds wonderful! Doesn’t it just make you relax just thinking about pampering yourself? I can feel the stress lifting off my shoulders already. Good thing it is Friday!
EXERCISE
Urban Muser recommends a good run and Enjoy Country Living loves to hike. Shelly hits the gym or running track before she celebrates the weekend because it helps her sleep much better. Ag. goes to the gym to help release the stress of the week, Krizia recommends a fitness boxing class at the end of the week and Deepa heads to yoga. I am loving all of you motivated ladies!
A DRINK
According to Jersey Diva Mom, a Guinness works every time! JeanHasBeenShopping says that a glass of wine really helps to clear out the tension and stress. Rach likes to go out for dinner and drinks with her girlfriends after a long week. I have to agree with these ladies! A glass of white wine at the end of the week is perfection!
A HOBBY
Art Garden Diva likes to paint to relax and R.M. Gilbert likes to read a book.
SPEND TIME WITH PET
Glenny and Radhika like to spend time with their pets, enjoy the peace and quiet and watch television. Isn’t it amazing how a pet can just put a smile on your face the second you get home and help you forget about work? Wish I had one….. (maybe a graduation present from the hubby??)
FINISH THE TO-DO LIST
Angierelieves stress by completing the little tasks she didn’t get to during the week. Getting these things done before jumping into a new week gives her a great sense of relief and peace. I have to agree with Angie because I will stay late at work on Friday night just to make sure that I don’t have to think about work during the weekend! It is so worth it!
I hope you all have a VERY RELAXING weekend!! What are you doing this weekend?
About Anna Runyan
Love this new Template!! Cool weekend activities, I am fully motivated for going to a spa this weekend and get that looong awaited ayurvedic treatment.
Stopping by from SITS site…I was below you on the comment chain today…love your blog design! All of these ideas are SO great, and it's really cool to see how random everyone is about what makes them relax. I fall into the pampering category – a bubble bath works every time!
Happy SITs Saturday share fest
Nice to see things like exercise, hobbies, and getting stuff done as ways to unwind instead of shopping or something like that. Those are seriously my top three – in fact, I'm supposed to be crossing something off my list right now! But I wanted to say hi!
Ooh, all these relaxing ideas sound so good…so inspirational for kicking back and relaxing! And that's just what I'm doing this weekend! Hope yours is refreshing!
all great ideas. i love how you put this together!
I just love how you put all this together and included all of us in it. That is sweet and remarkable. Thank you for including me.I have never seen anyone do this before. I love it. Superb.
What a fun post! Thx for the mention. I raise my pint to you : )
This is SUCH a cool list! Not only terrific ideas, but now I want to visit these other ladies who offered relaxation advice.
This is my first visit via Rach @ How Fickle is Woman! Really enjoyed your recent posts, and it's nice to 'run into' a fellow business gal

Great post! I spent the weekend having dinner, going out with friends and watching football. The best part about the weekend is I have tomorrow off! =)
All great suggestions! I love the "spend time with a pet!"
Thanks so much for using one of my suggestions
All great tips! And most sound more fun that finishing my To Do List.
Funny how relaxing is different for each of us. Also, forgot to mention, I'm loving your new 'site'. It's great.
These are some great ideas, and thanks for the shout-out!
