Live Like the Other Half for a Day
Just don’t start calling him dahhh-ling.
Mimosas, pools, and riding around in a golf cart? Sounds like an awesome daytime date to us. During the summer, Groupon offers lots of one-day membership deals to country clubs nationwide, so keep your eyes peeled and snap up one the second you see it. They’ll run you about $50, which split between you and your guy is nada, especially considering it nets you access to all those luxurious amenities.

Party With Hot Jocks Guys get really carried away with anything costume related, so throw an Olympics-themed fiesta. Encourage everyone to come decked out in various summer sports gear—swimming, beach volleyball, swimming, tennis…no, really, swimming. Pick up cheapie trophies from the dollar store for the best-dressed to take home. Since you’re the hostess, you pick the winners. Oh, and let guests know that this judge is partial to shirtless boys in spandex.
THE WEEKEND HABIT DRAGGING YOU DOWN Studies show it’s pretty hard to avoid checking work e-mail on weekends, but staying plugged in cranks up anxiety. For balance, try this tip from Simon Rego, PhD, director of psychology training at Montefiore Medical Center: Check it once on Sunday afternoon. You’re less likely to break the rules than if you swear it off entirely, and you’ll still feel prepared for your Monday. Step away from the damn laptop.
