How to: Relaxing Sundays

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.


Relaxing Sundays



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?
