Spend a day off w/ me and bestie!!👭🏻🧘🏻♀️
Don’t be fooled this was not a normal day off for me. This Tuesday outing has been something we’ve been planning for a few months. With our schedules it’s hard to find days to get together, so it’s nice to do a few activities at a time. However, I’m drained and will definitely be rotting and maxing out on cat cuddles tomorrow.
☀️we started our morning with an intro Pilates session. We usually do YouTube Pilates, but we’ve been wanting to try out the reformer. It was nice to change things up and having an instructor there was helpful but I don’t think joining a class is an absolute necessity. Move with Nicole has great YouTube videos and if you want to change up the intensity you can always add hand weights.
☕️after Pilates we went to a cafe and I got a matcha latte and she got a banana bread chai latte.
💆🏻♀️after caffeine we got massages! This was my Christmas gift from her, and it was 10/10. I really value experiences like these as gifts and it was fun that we got to share it together. We got food afterwards, but too hungry so no pics were taken lol.
🏃🏻♀️I cleaned up around the house after she left and then went on a run before getting my hair touched up and got some reading and cat cuddles in.

Spending a day off with a friend can be refreshing and rewarding. Whether you choose to enjoy a Pilates class or explore local cafes, the key is to engage in activities that uplift your mood and strengthen your bond. Pilates, known for its focus on strength and flexibility, can be a perfect way to start the day. Many enthusiasts prefer at-home workouts via YouTube to try different levels of intensity. Pairing this with a post-workout treat, like a matcha latte, adds a delightful twist to your day off. Another great way to spend time is through mutual gifting experiences, such as getting massages together. Not only does this provide relaxation, but it also enhances the shared experience. Celebrating moments like these with friends can help create lasting memories. After indulging in self-care, consider engaging in light physical activities like running or walking. This keeps your energy levels up and allows for casual conversation while burning off those matcha lattes! Finally, incorporating some downtime—like reading or cuddling with pets—can perfectly round off a special day off with friends, ensuring that you feel rejuvenated and cherished.
