We all know you're not whipping up a three-course meal after work Monday-Friday. Take a break from frozen pizzas by finally making one of those dishes you've been eyeing from the cookbook on your shelf.

For those who want to relax
Everyone gets tense. Take your Sunday to unwind, de-stress, and hopefully get some of that tension out with a relaxing massage.
The weekend is the best time to change up (or just cut) your hair so that you're polished and ready for Monday morning with minimal effort on your end. Plus, is there anything better than getting your hair shampooed for you?

You don't have to the drop big bucks on a luxurious day spa to reap the benefits. Throw yourself a spa day with a face mask, aromatherapy, mood music, and maybe even a massager. Maybe when your alarm rings come Monday morning you won't feel as tired. We said maybe.
Catch the flick that everyone in the office won't stop talking about before you hear any more spoilers. Opt for one of those updated theaters that have the seats that recline for optimum leisure to your heart's desire. There's nothing better than catching a flick on a Sunday night.

For those who want to drink
Most people drink their favorite alcoholic beverages regularly without even thinking twice about where they came from. Spend the day touring and tasting, where you can learn and drink—simultaneously.
Ernest Hemingway said "Write drunk, edit sober," and we're guessing the same applies to painting. Grab a friend (or a couple), a bottle of wine (or a couple), and get to painting. Hint: The more you drink, the better your art will look. Trust us.
We all have the local bars that we fall back on. Take the time to scope out a new joint you heard about from your friends at work to see what all the buzz is about. Perhaps the new spot will be playing some old football games to relive the past season.
Spending the day at a winery makes you feel fancy and, typically, drunk. But hosting a wine tasting can be just as fun, and not only because you can control the amount poured. Stock up on several bottles of white, red, and sparkling wine and serve some appetizers like cheese and fruit to complement the flavors.


For those who want to be entertained
Check out the artists that are in town, and snag some tickets to a live show. Sometimes you can get tickets for a less than face value on the day of the concert.
Gather your most crime-obsessed friends to see if together you can beat the clock and escape. Disclaimer: Choose your team wisely, as high-stress environments can bring out the worst in some people.
When's the last time you felt the pure joy of winning an intense game of Scrabble? Odds are, it's been awhile. Pick up some of your favorite board games (except Monopoly because who has the time?), and invite your most competitive friends over for game night.
Remind yourself (and your friends) how good or bad you are at bowling. Most lanes have beer and food to indulge in and arcade games for some old-fashioned, elementary fun.

For those who want to be artsy
It's highly possible you've already hit your city's big museums, but the exhibits are always changing. Find one you haven't been to in awhile, and spend a few hours browsing. When in doubt, head to the aquarium. No one ever gets sick of seeing a penguin. This is just a fact.
Fitness classes are a great activity choice, but in our opinion, the less exercise done on a Sunday, the better. Instead, opt for a yoga class, which is challenging yet relaxing since nearly every practice ends in a pose called Savasana, or what we like to call "a short nap."
Nurture your crafty side with a pottery class. It will keep you busy, improve your coordination, and make last-minute gifting easy with the surplus of unique mugs and pots you'll make.
Want to get in touch with your spiritual side? Go see a psychic. We can't guarantee there will be any crystal balls involved, but we also can't say there will won't be any either.

For those who want to be productive
Sound boring? Most likely. But does your closet need it? Also most likely. Get some efficient storage tools and racks, make a playlist of your favorite tunes, and start organizing. Try not to tear up when hanging your favorite NFL jersey. This may take awhile.
Not the most exciting task, but it just needs to be done. Then, maybe your dad will stop bugging you about it.
Free up your precious after-work Monday-Friday evenings by prepping your food for the week. Dust off your crockpot, utilize the food storage containers in your cupboard and start cooking.
Clear out your inbox. Unsubscribe from any spam or unwanted emails. Organize your desktop. Stop hitting "Remind Me Tomorrow" on your computer's updates. Have a technology cleanup day, and feel good about it...until you look at your inbox Monday morning.
