Disorderly stacks of paper, disorganized closets, and small talk topics
In this week's edition of Weekend Favorites from Be More with Less, we delve into the joy of finding peace and relaxation in the small yet significant moments. Here are some suggestions to make your weekend a truly delightful experience.
Firstly, losing yourself in a good book can be a wonderful way to unwind. Laughing with friends, whether in person or virtually, is another great method to find joy and relieve stress.
For those who love the great outdoors, going for a hike during the summer months is highly recommended. The cooler temperatures, the sight of mountain lakes, the bloom of wildflowers, and the presence of baby animals like moose and deer make for an unforgettable experience.
Listening to a relaxing playlist can help you truly drift away and find inner peace. Taking time to simplify your life, whether it's decluttering and organizing, brings unexpected benefits such as less stress and more free time.
Taking a deep breath and setting boundaries are also essential for carrying on peacefully. Remember, it's okay to say no and prioritise your well-being.
In addition to these suggestions, enjoying a cup of coffee or tea, taking a walk in nature, reading for pleasure, and listening to music are all simple pleasures that can bring daily joy. Creating simple rituals can also help to enhance these moments and make them more meaningful.
As we approach the most wonderful time of the year, let's not forget to appreciate the simple pleasures, such as the abundance of peonies during the month of June. Their vibrant blooms are a reminder of the beauty that can be found in simplicity.
For those interested in hiking, here are nine tips to consider if you're planning your first hike. If you're embarking on a road trip, you might find our collection of 27 road trip snack recipes useful.

Lastly, we hope you enjoy this edition of Weekend Favorites and have a lovely, restorative, gentle weekend. Take care and remember to find joy in the simple things.
Enjoy a soothing playlist of music as you brew a cup of coffee or tea, taking time to appreciate the warmth and aroma. In fashion-and-beauty, updating your wardrobe with a few stylish pieces can elevate your lifestyle.
For finance-conscious individuals, consider investing in stocks or bonds as a means of securing your career and future. Keeping up with the latest news in finance can help you make informed decisions that benefit your long-term goals.
When it comes to relationships, expressing gratitude and showing affection goes a long way in strengthening connections. Sharing hobbies and interests with your significant other can foster a deeper bond and bring more joy into your lives.
As you plan for travel, researching local food-and-drink cultures is a must. Trying new dishes and exploring restaurants in your destination can create memorable experiences and broaden your palate.
Lastly, turning your home-and-garden into a sanctuary is essential for creating a peaceful environment that supports relaxation and well-being. Planting a small garden, organizing your living space, or even DIY projects can bring a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment to your weekend.
