The Weekender: Three Things to Try During That Sweet Down Time!




TGIF.We made it. And as with every Friday, Adriane and Claudia Kiss of TheKissters.com, the sisters' website, which features entertaining tips and tricks to help you "live large on small change," give us fun ideas to try, make and do over the weekend. You know, those fun days. Get ready to start filling up your calendar -- fast.




FRIDAY: A GLOBAL (BUT TOTALLY PERSONALIZED) GIFT

A friend of ours recently received a really special gift from her husband: A custom bracelet that has large stones, each of which feature a map of one of the five most significant places they visited or lived together in the world. (Married in the Bahamas, started their life together in London -- you get the idea!) Although this was a romantic gift, we love the bracelet for anyone in your life! This one from Joolz Hayworth because it allows you to pick the images that make up the beautiful stones. So get creative for the next birthday or bridal shower and upload some memories of your own!

With the warmer weather often comes fun vacations and weekend getaways, right? But is there anything worse than bidding adieu to your at-home beauty products to hit the road? This season you can really up your travel game by stocking up on miniatures of your go-to products. Here, some fave travel-friendly beauty booty as recommended by a few of the SELF editors.
SUNDAY: A BONUS SWEET SHOWER SURPRISE

It's bridal shower season, ladies. So if you're in need of some inspiration for something a little more out-of-the-box than your regular fare, we’ve got an idea that is simple to make. After assembling all your materials, finalize the gift with a tag that reads ‘Mint to Be’ (or, you know, another adorable candy pun to fit the gift). Pretty adorbs, and easy on the wallet. Plus, it's just cute. We're sorry, but it is.
Materials:
  • Mason jars
  • Mints
  • Ribbon
  • Blank Gift Tags
Directions:

Fill each Mason jar to the brim with mints, and make the tags out to read ‘Mint To Be!’
