If you're lucky enough to have some lax Summer Fridays on the horizon, take advantage! Here are our editors' suggestions on how to maximize the luxury of a workday with no work.

Exercise

Exercise

Pop in a pair of wireless earbuds ($130), and go for a run/walk/elliptical session — whatever fuels you. Instant good vibes.

Chill
Nest Fragrances

Chill

Set aside one of your treasured Fridays to ditch an agenda of any sort and just relax. Whether it's reading poolside or even catching up on your latest Netflix addiction on the couch, a recharge session is always a good (and necessary!) thing. Make your binge session even more chill by lighting a favorite candle ($68).

Run Through Your Bucket List

Now's the time to visit all the hot spots you've been meaning to check out. A buzzy new restaurant is likely to be much quieter on a Friday afternoon than a weekend evening, so take advantage of the time off by checking some destinations off of your list. And if you don't have a list of your own, check out the Luxe guide for your city ($15-$20).

Sleep
Lord Jones

Sleep

A midday nap!? Seriously? Yes! You deserve this. Need help "shutting down"? Give Lord Jones Royal Oil ($100) a try. An added day off is the perfect time to indulge in an afternoon siesta.

Organize
The Container Store

You know those personal "projects" that are always on the backburner? Whether it's sorting through all of those photos on your phone or redecorating a room, this is the time for it. Set aside a couple of hours on each of your Summer Fridays for the productive task of your choice. Purging your closet? These stackable plastic bins ($1-$11) are a great place to start.
