Here are 4 things to do with your bestie this weekend:

Bake up a storm

Friends that bake together, stay together! That is the saying, right? Nevertheless, it’s always a good idea to enjoy your besties’ company in the comfort of your own home. Get your hands messy by whipping up a batch of brownies, knead pizza dough or even cooking a meal you both will dig into. It’s those shared experiences that make the best memories. 

A trip to the mall

Whether you’re stocking up on monthly essentials or doing some much needed retail therapy, it’s always a good idea to have company – even if it’s just to window shop the latest trends. But don’t let the quality time stop there. Grab a bite to eat or sip on an iced-coffee.

One with nature

While we may love a challenging hiking trial and enjoy the odd bushveld adventure, we know exploring the wilderness may not be everyone’s idea of a ‘good time’. But think of how fun it would be with a posse of your closest friends. Just remember that not all hiking trails are free, and an adventure in the wild can be expensive. But a stroll on the beach or a walk in the park come at no cost. Plus, going for regular walks reduces your risk for heart disease and gives you a serotonin boost.

A dinner date

Setting time aside for you and your bestie is a must, but so is filling your belly with delicious grub. Pick a place you both would enjoy, and marvel in each other’s company in the comfort of a dimly lit restaurant. If you’re feeling a little strapped for cash, a more affordable option would be a picnic along the coast.
