Have Some Fun
Have fun over the weekend. Do the things that make you happy. Go for a walk, bike ride, hang out with friends, watch a movie, go sailing – whatever puts a smile on that lovely face of yours is exactly what you should be doing. This good attitude is guaranteed to transcend to your Monday morning, and is one of the best ways to beat the Monday blues.
Prepare and Repair
Using the weekend to get yourself ready for Monday will sure as heck guarantee that the only blues you wake up to is Billie Holiday. Make a to do list, organize yourself, and get everything in order before Monday. Doing this will not only let you enjoy your weekend a lot more, but you’ll start the first day of the week breathing a little more calmly.
Frequently asked questions
Check in Early
Monday mornings are hard enough, so for the love of God, don’t spend your entire Sunday night partying until the break of dawn when you have to go to school or work the next day. The more sleep you get, the better off you’ll be. You’ll wake up Monday morning feeling refreshed and ready for the day.
Get up on the Right Side of the Bed
Attitude is everything. If you wake up in a bad mood, it’s going to affect your entire day. If you wake up in a good mood, that will help you get through your day with a smile on your face. So get up and head to the shower listening to some of your favorite songs. Sing out loud – but not so loud that your neighbors call the cops.
Eat up
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it’s especially true on a Monday. DO NOT skip breakfast at all. Even if it’s a cup of orange juice and a banana, have something that will get your morning started.

A strong, empowering, sexy, flirty, yet sophisticated outfit that has me strutting out of the house like I own my own Prada store. The confidence a woman gets in looking her best gives her a powerful attitude that makes her feel like she can conquer the world. So dress to impress YOURSELF.
