Mimosas, pools, and riding around in a golf cart? Sounds like an awesome daytime date to us. During the summer, Groupon offers lots of one-day membership deals to country clubs nationwide, so keep your eyes peeled and snap up one the second you see it. They’ll run you about $50, which split between you and your guy is nada, especially considering it nets you access to all those luxurious amenities.

You can lose that shirt

now, thanks.

Just don’t start

calling him dahhh-ling.

Live Like the Other Half

for a Day

Party With Hot Jocks

Weekend

Step away from the damn laptop.

Guys get really carried away with anything costume related, so throw an Olympics-themed fiesta. Encourage everyone to come decked out in various summer sports gear—swimming, beach volleyball, swimming, tennis…no, really, swimming. Pick up cheapie trophies from the dollar store for the best-dressed to take home. Since you’re the hostess, you pick the winners. Oh, and let guests know that this judge is partial to shirtless boys in spandex.

Studies show it’s pretty hard to avoid checking work e-mail on weekends, but staying plugged

in cranks up anxiety. For balance, try this tip from Simon Rego, PhD, director of psychology training at Montefiore Medical Center: Check it once on Sunday afternoon. You’re less likely to break the rules than if you swear it off entirely, and you’ll

still feel prepared for your Monday.

Staying cool in a matinee showing

of The Dark Knight Rises

“What You Knead” is a new Crunch gym

class that nixes work-week tension. Creator Saharah Ali shares a move you can do at home Saturday a.m.

Stretch It Out

◼ When you get out of the shower, grab your towel and stretch it out in front of you.

◼ Lower the towel behind your head and bend your elbows to

open your upper back.

◼ Reach your arms up, lean right, return to center, and

lean left to stretch your sides and along your spine.

We asked men where they’re most likely to be on a hot Saturday after­noon. Shockingly, doing damage at

the mall didn’t make the cut.

Weekend schedules are more lax, so friends think it’s NBD to show up late, says psychiatrist Keith Ablow. Next time

you’re stranded at a bar waiting, try these icebreakers.

● The cute guy stand-ing nearby:

Ask if he knows a good spot to grab postdinner drinks. If things get

flirty, you can always invite

him and his friends

to join.

● The cool chick sitting next to you:

Ask where she got her

killer heels. Fashion is

easy to discuss with

a total stranger, and a compliment will warm her

right up.

● The bartender: See if he has

any secret signature

cocktails that aren’t on the menu. He’s used to the

same old drink orders, so he’ll love

discussing a new creation.
