Goat Yoga
This is exactly what you think it is – you are assuming different yoga stances, while goats jump about and snuggle on your lap. Everyone claims that the baby goats are adorable and that the experience is a lot of fun. All of the goats are friendly, so there should be no cause for concern, for any newbies considering the event. Goat Yoga at Little Peeps Farm is the most popular on Saturdays, so reserve your spot in advance! $25. 9:30-11 a.m. Little Peeps Farm: 3049 Cortez Rd., Jacksonville, FL; eventbrite.com/e/goat-yoga-2021-22-tickets-169735482397 // @little_peeps_farm

Painting with a Twist
A perfect activity to make your Monday less mundane – a neon glow black light paint party at Painting with a Twist! Because it is a “Manic Monday” night special, it also includes $10 off, an even better incentive!

These classes are BYOB so bring your friend and your alcohol, and enjoy your night. $32-$35. 7-9 p.m. Painting with a Twist: 1525 San Marco Blvd., Jacksonville, FL; www.paintingwithatwist.com/studio/jacksonville/event/2882431 // @paintingwithatwist
11.23
Taco Tuesday at Casa Maria
There are a few taco Tuesday deals scattered across the city of Jacksonville, but Casa Maria’s is a fan-favorite because of the Buy One, Get One margarita offer, which is good all day until 7 PM. Casa Maria has a Taco Tuesday menu, as well, for discounted tacos. Another perk of dining at Casa Maria is the restaurant’s close proximity to the beach. You can have a delicious meal with very affordable margaritas and then take a quick stroll to peek out at the ocean, afterwards. If you are in the mood for some Mexican food, consider giving Casa Maria a try this Tuesday. Menu costs. 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Casa Maria: 2429 3rd St. S., Jacksonville Beach, FL; casamariajaxbeach.com // @casamariajax
