Wedding Bells

Weekend Wind Down

Posted June 13th, 2008 | 6:00 am | By Alison McGill |

Is it just me, or is time going REALLY fast these days? It’s Monday, then it’s Friday. Then it’s back to Monday again. Weekends are precious, especially summer ones and especially when you’re planning a wedding! But taking time to relax and smell the roses is paramount—nobody else can do it for you. Lately it’s been busy times for me, and I need to amp it down starting tonight. How am I going to relax? By doing some of my favourite things!

• Tonight: dins at favourite Italian resto and a movie with my guy.

• Saturday: sleep in, read papers, manicure/pedicure, my favourite salad for lunch, magazine reading and book reading (current read— Simon Doonan’s Eccentric Glamour), Japanese for dinner, then watching my new obsession Flight of the Conchords.

• Sunday: up early to prep for Father’s Day brunch, host brunch, relax after brunch, have dinner with the P’s and hang out with Daddy dearest.

This weekend plan pretty much covers all the angles of a relaxing, low-stress time for me—time with my fam, good food, films, spa, magazines and books. Do you know what you need to chill it down and go back to the Zen zone? In the words of Ferris Bueller: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in while, you could miss it.” Slow down, enjoy the ride and have a fabulous weekend.
