By Caroline Smith — Written on Mar 06, 2018
How do you like to spend your 'freaking weekend'? After a long week of school or work, everyone needs time to unwind and celebrate life.
Two days aren’t always enough to de-stress, but used wisely that time can be a great start to a more relaxed life and celebrate your time off instead of being bored at home all day.
Weekdays can be full of productive hard work and make you feel like the super boss lady/man you are, but there’s no feeling quite like quitting time on Friday.
Weekends can also be overwhelming, even when they are made for fun. The definition of a 'perfect weekend' varies person to person, whether its hitting the town with friends or curling up with your favorite book.

Gemini, reading is one of your many things. Plan a day this weekend to explore your local library and find your next favorite book. You'll love seeing your city and curling up with your new literary find.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
