My weekend was filled with plenty of "me time." It is often rare to find myself with a free afternoon, with no where to be or someone to see. I usually feel like I should take advantage of my weekends with the utmost productivity; laundry, grocery shopping, time with friends etc. And while I consider myself a pretty social person who rarely likes to be alone, I have realized more recently that I do need and enjoy those afternoons spent all by myself. Saturday I caught up on all of my September issues, made cards out of the latest JCrew catalog and re-watched episodes of The Rachel Zoe Project. Sometimes you just owe it to yourself to spend the majority of a day planted on the couch.
How do you spend your time alone?

Love Saturday afternoons that are all about 'me'. Looks like you had a good one.
When I'm free I slouch on the couch with a plate of oreos or a bowl of ice cream sitting on my tummy, watching HGTV, and reading. Ummmm even in the winter.

that sounds amazing! i love new magazine day, but i often have to wait to read them until i get alone time too. i also love to have crazy dance parties when no one's around to judge me. ; )
happy monday!
leasch, that brie looks divine.
I love that plate! Haha made me laugh!
love this post. it rained here all weekend so i literally read magazines and watched movies the entire time. haven't done that in i can't remember!!! love how you made the cards! xo
I know what you mean, I always feel the need to be on the go and have trouble just letting myself sit at home, doing the little things I enjoy.
I love alone time, but I'm still constantly working on some little project or making myself busy even when I don't need to be.
ah what a brilliant idea for leftover magazines!!
Love it, girl!

I wish my coffee table looked as fabulous as yours. The hubs doesnt approve of magazines all over. Just found your blog and love it. You have a new follower!

What a great idea about making cards out of the J Crew catalog! Those are adorable. This sounds like my ideal "alone time" afternoon. I also enjoy and value my alone time. I usually spend it reading magazines or books, taking walks, running errands, cooking, watching bad reality tv (my current favorite is Bachelor Pad), and giving myself manicures/facials. Ahh, I'm relaxed just thinking about it. I have a "me day" scheduled for this upcoming weekend.

I love spending an afternoon just self-indulging. Flipping through mags with the TV on and munching while curled up on the couch is a wonderous relaxing afternoon event!
Sounds lovely and perfect for a Sunday! I love that "bitch" plate...where's that from? lol :)
What a great idea with the cards Alicia!! The pictures in the September J.Crew are particularly painful...as are the prices. Yikes. It kinda makes it all better using them as cards though :)
I have to say I love lazy afternoons where I curl up with all 4 seasons of Felicity and indulge. Best days ever.
xoxo,
Carrie

LOVE how you spent your afternoon! A pile full of september issues & a cup of coffee sound ideal!
Best afternoon ever if you ask me! Great idea about those cards!
That is the best afternoon and exactly how I would spend my day!
i soooo agree! sometimes i just want to do nothing!!! oh the rough life of living in the city. always something to do somewhere to be someone to hang out with.
omg where did you get that plate? i need that!
that is such a good idea!! love lazy days!

Hey A - if I can grab free time I'm all about watching a movie, cuddled with the pups, and a nice fluffy blanket -- but those times are rare - love the DIY idea! -- great for holiday cards for the fashionable girls :-)
I love lazy afternoons :)
Oh my goodness, that "bitch" plate is kind of hilarious! So amazing!
My weekend was so busy...I was on a trip but I love being planted on the couch some times...
