5 Ways To Make Sure You Have An Amazing Weekend



1. Buy this game and invite your friends over for game night:

Cards Against Humanity (click link to buy or learn more)

35 of you commented on my Insta picture expressing your undying love for this game,
so I did what anyone logical would do...
invited some friends over for game night tonight.

So excited to give it a test run!
 I'll report back with our thoughts on it, but I'm guessing it'll be a big hit.


2. Have a positive attitude:

or as one of my favorite quotes would say...
 
“Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good! There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones.” C. Joybell C

I'm a firm believer that your attitude and outlook can be a deal breaker. If you're down in the dumps complaining about everything little thing, chances are you won't have a really fantastic weekend. So turn that frown (or bad attitude) upside down, and put on your happy face.


3. Roll your windows down (unless you're in TX and in that case just leave your AC on), turn the volume up, and listen to this song:

Holy Grail by JayZ fet. Justin Timberlake on Grooveshark

or this song:

A little country and rap for you, depending on your preferences. Me? I love both. :)
(go link up your favorite jam with miss yoga pants here)

4. Explore your city and try a new brunch spot:

Yup, another round of Katie and Angela's adventures of finding the best brunch in Columbus is happening this weekend. We can't wait to cross another place off our list and find (hopefully) another great place that I can share with you all! 


 5. Get outside:

 Go to your favorite local spot (for us this would be The Goat) and sit poolside with a cold beverage in hand

or...

Go do something active!
 
(in my case and in this pic from last night the only active part I did was carry the ball bucket and putt putt a bit, but it still counts)


 ...and when all else fails, just go shopping.

So now that you know my weekend plans, what are you doing?
What are your favorite tricks to make sure you have a good weekend?

  15. Cards Against Humanity is a great game! My friends and I take an annual girls trip up north every year to a cabin and we brought them on our last trip. Needless to say they made for a great time!

  16. Definitely getting outside and being active. Summer is hands down my fav time of year and before we know it, it'll be over and everyone will regret not spending more time outside. Awesome advice!

    Happy Friday :)
