It's Friday! It's okay, you can cheer, I promise. I'm cheering too! I've decided that each Friday, I'm going to blog a Friday wake-up call-something to get you going for the weekend up ahead, whether it be a recipe, a workout, a preview of an event-whatever's appropriate to the weekend. This weekend is, fortunately and unfortunately, Memorial Day weekend-the kick off to shoobies and summertime. This weekend is all about relaxing, even though sometimes relaxing is the last thing on your mind when you're stuck in traffic. What better way to relax and get energized for the weekend than with a quick ten minute yoga routine? Now, I know yoga can seem daunting; trust me, I've been there. But this Meaghan Townshend video is quick, easy, and invigorating. It energizes you and stretches your limbs, making you feel good about the weekend ahead and good about yourself-which is something you'll need if you're hitting the beach this weekend. You can watch her 10-minute yoga lesson (yes, only 10 minutes!) here:

So, that'll get you started for the weekend. But what about after you've gotten out of all the traffic? You'll need something to make you feel relaxed again at the beach or your barbecue. Go out and get an affordable cocktail shaker at Kohl's or another store that's near you, and make White Cranberry Martinis. Just fill the shaker about 1/4 of the way with ice. Pour one shot of vodka per person (I like Grey Goose) into the shaker and fill it the rest of the way with White Cranberry juice. Shake it vigorously and strain into glasses. You can garnish these with green grapes if you'd like-they taste delicious and refreshing, just like the martini, and go great with the flavor. Sweet, tangy, and refreshing all at the same time! And if that doesn't kick your weekend off right, I'm not sure what will. Have fun at the beach!
