How to have an excellent Saturday

– Get up relatively early.

 

 

– East breakfast while your cat snuggles on your lap.

 

– Get dressed in a pretty dress, a warm coat and cute shoes.

 

 

– Paint your lips pink.

 

 

– Take the bus into the city, and read a horror novel the whole way there.

 

 

– Walk about with no real agenda, just go wherever your feet take you.

 

 

– Explore laneways and marvel at street art.

 

 

– Visit Tiffanies, put on your best Audrey Hepburn accent and flutter your lashes at the doorman.

 

 

– Stroll through the designer clothing district, and give yourself a pat on the back when you don’t feel any desire to enter any of the stores.

 

– Order yourself a cupcake. Then realize that nobody is there to judge you, and order a second cupcake.

 

– Eat both cupcakes slowly, savoring the icing. Dab your lips delicately with a napkin and then re-apply your lipgloss.

 

 

– Visit a supposedly haunted bookstore. Feel slightly disappointed that you don’t see any ghosts.

 

 

– Lament over the cost of vintage clothing, and thank your lucky stars that you have a stylish mother to give you her hand-me-downs.

 

 

– Order a glass of wine with lunch and get slightly squiffy.

 

– Feel cranky that one of your favorite jewellery stores has been replaced by a crappy chain boutique. Cheer yourself up by listening to the jazz ban that’s playing outside.

 

 

– Glide through second-hand bookstores, glancing at the titles on the worn spines.

 

 

– Get your makeup done at a department store and leave feeling prettier than ever.

 

 

– Get a one hour massage. Luxuriate in the feeling of the knots melting out of your shoulders.

 

 

– Go home and change into a comfy tracksuit.

 

 

– Brew a cup of coffee and sip it while reading an awesome comic book.

 

 

– Do yoga while watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

 

– Cook spaghetti for tea.

 

 

– Chat to your boyfriend on the phone. Make him laugh with delightful anecdotes from your day.

 

 

– Run a bath, pop on a facial mask and soak until your skin turns pruney.

 

 

– Throw on your favorite P.Js and slip between the clean sheets on your bed. Fall into a blissful, deep sleep.
