There are times when you just need to get your mind off of boys. Maybe things aren’t going so great in your relationship or you’re sick of the whole dating scene altogether. If that describes you then what you need is some girl time. These are 7 ideas of things you can do to get your mind off boys.
A mani/pedi session is always an enjoyment. It’s such a girly activity that it’s sure to get your mind off of boys. Soak your cares away as your nails become beautiful. This is a great time to catch up on gossip with your gal pals. And you get to leave with pretty nails so it’s a win-win.
Another great way to get your mind off of boys is go to a girly restaurant. Now, there’s no restaurant that’s just for girls but there are some that’re usually more of a favorite with girls than with guys. A few that come to my mind are The Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden and Panera Bread. But you may have your own ideas on this. Choose a restaurant that seems like more of a girl’s fav to you and enjoy a meal with your friends.
Shopping is therapeutic, wouldn’t you agree? It’s both relaxing and distracting, meaning that it gets your mind off of things going on in your life, including any issues with boys. Finding some clothes or accessories that you love and flatter you is fun. It’s a great activity for girl time but it’s also nice to shop by yourself. Finding something new to wear can definitely perk up your spirits.
You could start your own book club to have some girl time. There are many books that you could enjoy reading and discussing with your friends. This is a great time of year for a book club, too. With warm weather coming, many people read more and are looking for some great books to read when they’re on vacation. “The Girl On The Train” and “All The Light We Cannot See” are two recent bestsellers that would make great choices for a book club.
A yoga class is an idea for girl time. It’s a good way to get your mind off of boys. Most guys aren’t yoga fans so it’s unlikely you’ll encounter many while you’re in yoga class. Even if you do, you’ll have your mind occupied with keeping the correct formation for your poses. Yoga is very good at helping to relax you. You’ll leave class feeling a sense of serenity that you’ll love.
Baking can be helpful at keeping your mind off of boys. Baking requires concentration so having boys on your mind isn’t an issue. It’s fun to get some girlfriends together and make a batch of cookies or try your hand at a recipe for gourmet cupcakes. If you don’t want to eat all of the treats yourself, take some to a neighbor or share them at work. Everyone loves unexpected treats.
Pottery painting is a great way to get your girl time in. It’s fun, relaxing and you have something creative to take home with you. There’re different places that you can go to enjoy this activity such as The Pottery Place. Do a little research and you’re sure to find a place near you. If that isn’t an option, you can always paint pottery at home.
