Friday Features - Stress Relief

If you read my post on Monday, you know last weekend was a little crazy and stressful! And this week has been a little bit the same! Thank goodness things have seemed to calm down :)

I thought today's features would be the perfect way to show you how I destress when things get hectic.

I'm a sucker for a hot relaxing bath! We don't have a hot tub, so it's the next best thing :)

And this sign says it all!

And I love to unwind with a nice glass of wine :) These glasses would make my wine taste even better!

The smells of lavender and vanilla are two of my favorites and are both calming scents. This lotion is perfect for after a bath!

And what better way to unwind than with great music! Certain songs can take my mind off everything!

How I Unwind

Angela of Alice's Owl is our blog carnival host this week and one of her themes for us is Stress Awareness: April is Stress Awareness Month. How do you take time for self-care and help reduce stress in your life? Is there something you do each night? A practice that you do each morning? Something you do weekly or monthly? How does it melt the stress away for you? How does it make your body and mind feel? A great way to spread the awareness!

My favorite way to unwind and destress is with a nice hot bath and a cold glass of wine! I turn on the radio, read a magazine and just relax! I would love to have a hot tub, but I don't think I'd ever get anything accomplished! I'm so relaxed when I get out and I'm able to fall asleep right away :) I like to do this at least once a week. It's a great way to let my mind rest for a while and do nothing but relax!

You should try it sometime! And if you're not a wine drinker...hot chocolate is great too :) How do you relax?

Break Time

Today was my last day of work in 2010!!! And I'm ready for a break! My parents are here, I have almost all of my scrapbooking caught up, and I'm ready to relax and enjoy my time off :) I hope you get to take a break and relax over the holidays as well!

Friday Features-Relax

Today's Friday Features have a very important message that we all need reminded of now and then. We need to take time to RELAX!

I challenge you this weekend to take some "Me Time" and relax. Grab a good book, take a long bath, go for a walk. Whatever it is that you love to do...do it! Take a little time to unwind and enjoy some time to yourself. Trust me...you'll thank me later :)
