I don't know about you guys, but I
have a fairly stressful week. Full of homework, exams, chores, etc.
Because of my busy schedule, I like to start the week off on a good
note. Relaxing Sundays are the perfect solution. I know that not
everyone will have time to do all of the things on this list, but trying
to work in even one of these ideas at the beginning of the week can
have a huge impact on how the rest of the week goes.
Things you will need:
1. Candles
I
am absolutely in love with Yankee Candle's French Vanilla scented
candle. It is the perfect relaxing scent. I don't know what it is about
candles (especially vanilla scented ones) that instantly relaxes me, but
somehow they do. candles can totally set my mood, however I am feeling.
I keep a lime scented one on my desk at home to keep me feeling awake
and alert.
2. Chick flick
Full
Disclosure: The Notebook is my guilty pleasure. It is pretty much the
epitome of "chick flick". It's got romance, controlling mothers, and who
doesn't love Ryan Gosling? Chick flicks are great ways to distress with
a group of girl friends.
3. Nail polish
Red
nail polish is a classic. Right now, I am loving Essie's For the Twill
of it nail polish color. Having your nails look nice all week is a great
way to keep your spirits up. If you look good, you feel good!
4. A good book
The
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has got to be my all time favorite
book, but any good book will work for this. Taking the time to distance
yourself from electronics and escape into the world of the book is
seriously my favorite way to relax.
5. Bubble bath
There's just something
about bubbles that brings out the little giggling kid in everyone.
Seriously, you can't be stressed out when you are surrounded by bubbles.
Philosophy's French Vanilla Bean all in one bubble bath is my favorite.
Pour some of that into the water and take a trip back to childhood. You
could even combine #1 and #5 and have a candle lit bath! Let me tell
you, that is super relaxing.
What are your favorite ways to relax?
