Friday Five: Things to Do This Weekend Vol. 1

T.G.I.F! We can all breathe a sigh of relief the weekend is here once again! I am starting a new series on Fridays called the Friday Five, a Top 5 list of things I have been loving or even suggestions such as today.  Keep reading for my Friday Five suggestions for activities this weekend.

1. Get Active

Why not try something completely random and new this weekend? Go for a long bike ride, rock-climbing, rent a kayak or even just try a new class out at the gym. Whatever you try out will leave you feeling fresh and energised ready to take on the week ahead

2. Clean Out the Makeup Collection

Go through your makeup collection. Remove everything from its storage, wipe down the drawers/baskets etc that house your products with a damp cloth. Next, toss any expired and broken products and reorganise everything so it is in order. While you are at it, give those brushes a much needed cleanse. You will thank yourself on Monday.

3. Do Brunch

My favourite thing to do on a weekend is brunch. There is no better way to start a weekend than a cheeky brunch date with your partner or the girls. Try out a new café this weekend or maybe a menu item you wouldn’t normally try. I love the Urbanspoon app for finding new brunch spots. Use the “shake” feature to lock in “breakfast” and then shake yourself away to a hot new spot!

4. Discover a new precinct

While away an afternoon discovering a new precinct you haven’t checked out previously. Shopping and café precincts in the suburbs are often a treasure trove for quirky finds for fashion and home wares. Not to mention the BEST coffee places are always hiding away in these boroughs just waiting to be found.

5. Try a new recipe

I love trying out new recipes on the weekend and will often use the time to road test potential weeknight options. If they are a success, I try to implement them into the weeknight meals. Check out Jamie Oliver’s website for simple delicious meal ideas.

What are you going to get up to this weekend?
