Specially design your kitchen

You don’t need to keep “reasonable” things in your kitchen for growing kids or a husband with heartburn. If you want to have a mini fridge dedicated to Girl Scout cookies, do it.

Explore the adult toy world

There are some pretty sweet self-pleasure devices out there. And it’s not like you have a husband who rummages through your belongings when he’s trying to find his cuff links.

Go to a nude beach

House-sit for your married friends

They probably have like 4-bedroom houses with swimming pools that they abandon from time to time for vacations. Have a staycation in their house.

 

Teach a class

Maybe you have a special skill to offer the world. Yeah—you don’t need to teach a kid how to use the toilet. You need to teach 20-something’s how to make vegan sushi.

Sleep in

You might feel like you have to wake up early on the weekends because you’re an adult, but that’s just not true. Sleep all day if you want. It will do wonders for your skin and your overall vitality.
