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.

Visit your old college girlfriends
It’s probably tougher for them to come visit you because they have kids, but you can make a tour of it and visit each and every one, rehashing old stories and drinking Smirnoff ice again.

Go to a nude beach
You don’t have a husband who would be embarrassed or question your motives. And you want to show off that body to somebody!

Open up your bathroom
You don’t need to keep that door shut for anybody. Knock down a wall and make the TV visible from the toilet.

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.

Go on a cruise
People on cruises are known for being game for whatever and super social.
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.

Take a strip tease class

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.

Volunteer
Find a cause you feel really passionate about and get involved in it.
