4. Meet Stella & Dot!
Are you a fashion-obsessed woman who’s always dreamed of launching your own career in your free time? Stella & Dot-Independent Stylist Annemaria Garcia knows all the tips, and is willing to share.

Go to from 7:30p.m. to 9p.m. for a local opportunity meeting to get tips on how busy woman can start a part or full time career as a Stylist without even leaving her own home.
5. Go Swimming.
It’s going to be hot again. So, if none of these events interest you, go find a pool, lake, or beach (or take a cold shower). The weather forecast says partly sunny, highs around 90 degrees during the day. At night, it should drop to around 70, and there will be a 30 precent chance of rain.
