Seize the Weekend

Fridays are full of promise and anticipation. After all, the weekend is mere moments away. Two perfect little days for you to stake your claim on. Let's all procrastinate at work daydream together about what the upcoming weekend has in store for us. Below are five projects/recipes/crafts that are easy to tackle in a weekend. Hey, I've already done the legwork for you - so no excuses, seize the weekend.

1.) Make a decadent breakfast for someone special. I am sure your loved ones would appreciate this pile of deliciousness.

Banana nut french toast via my main woman, Martha Stewart. Recipe here.

2.) Learn how to make paper roses. These could even be used as Valentines (who doesn't love handmade?).

 For a detailed tutorial on how to make your own, head on over to Heart of Light.

3.) Get a jazzed up manicure like this one, via Emily Schuman of Cupcakes & Cashmere. 

4.) Make an unusual salad for lunch/dinner (linner?). After all, this girl seems to be really enjoying herself.

5.) Update a boring bookshelf or built-in (say that five times fast) using contact paper or wallpaper.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with just the right amount of productivity!
