Here's what you can do after that stressful week that just got over.
Get a new look
Fix an appointment with a hairstylist and ask her to wave the magic wand and give you a whole new look. If it's too daring for your sedate soul, treat yourself to a morning at the spa. We recommend Jean-Claude Biguine in Bandra. You can contact them at 6522 221 for an appointment.
Make a pitcher of Sangria
Make a pitcher or two of Sangria, chill in the fridge for a couple of hours, and call your friends over for an impromptu come-as-you-are party. Throw in a board game and have fun. For the Sangria, you will need two bottles of red wine, one cup Grand Marnier, juice of two lemons, and a quart of water. For some great cocktail recipes, visit www.drinksmixer.com.
Shop till you drop
Forget about inflation and all that jazz, some of the priciest shopping haunts in the city are offering great month-long monsoon sales. For clothes head to Mango and Promod; for shoes, Aldo's monsoon sale will be on for a month; and for some steamy lingerie, Boudoir London in Juhu has marked down the prices of some of their choicest pieces as part of the monsoon sale.
Have a midnight feast
Once you're done with the drinking and the partying, don't head home just yet. Instead, make your way to a 24-hour coffee shop and aim for the midnight buffet. We simply love The Bayview at the Marine Plaza. Get a window seat and watch Marine Drive slowly come to life in the wee hours of the morning. The food is great, the view even
better….
Play a musical instrument
No matter what they say, old dogs can learn new tricks. So why not try your hand at making a musical instrument sing like a bird. Ok, so the violin is a tad difficult, out of the question but there are other instruments like the guitar, piano, flute or maybe the triangle if you’re tone deaf. Organise your classes in such a way that you can go for an hour or two over the weekend.
