What to do This Weekend: 26th – 28th January
The last weekend of January and it’s a great one, most of us get paid this weekend, there’s one final push if you’re doing Dry January and we’re almost out of the bleakest month which means the evenings will start to get lighter soon and next month we have the likes of Valentines, Galentines and Shrove Tuesday to look forward to! Make the most of this weekend with yoga, brunches, free pizza, work out classes and doughnuts. It’s all about a balanced life.
