Ahh the August Bank Holiday weekend - just what we need after the busy month of August. A day to ourselves to relax and unwind or delve into a little bit of culture. Joanie HQ have been thinking of ways for you to enjoy the three-day-weekend, so whatever you do Joanie Gal - enjoy it! For those of you that weren't as quick as your smarter colleagues in booking a day either side of the August Bank Holiday Weekend, you're probably searching for ways to make the Monday off worthwhile. But if you're not off this Bank Holiday Monday, save these ideas for your next leisurely Sunday off work.

Get Out and About:

Get outside! How many us spend five days a week inside looking at computer screens? Pack a picnic, head for the hills and get some fresh air and vitamin D. A little walk around a local village, or a trip to the seaside will do you good! Why not experience a local gem you've never seen? Your mind and body will thank you later.

Grab a Last Minute Deal:

Airlines know that us sun seekers will be looking for that last minute deal this Bank Holiday, ideally to a cool European city that we either love or have never visited. Our inboxes are already being cluttered with the emails. Make the most of it! Get yourself booked on a flight somewhere exciting and cultural.

Declutter:

Today's the day you've been waiting for: or in some cases 'putting off'. The unwanted clothes in the wardrobe, the piles of school books in the loft, they all need sorting. An organised declutter of your life will allow you to sleep better at night, we promise. Bank Holiday Monday is the perfect day for it!

Relax:

Time spent asleep, is never wasted, especially on a Bank Holiday. Use the extra day off to revitalise yourself. Spend the day cuddled up with your favourite book and pot full of tea. You'll feel great come Tuesday.
