So just having finishing an undergraduate degree and working part time (more like full-time) in a bar, life sometimes get a little bit stressful. I think I've learnt how to take some time out and de-stress. Personally I think it's really important to take time out and relax yourself.
So, first and foremost I love having a long hot bath, some kind of bath bomb (usually from Lush, but recently I've been loving Yorkshire Soap Company - Bath Truffles), light a few candles and a bath playlist. Some of my favourites from this week are;
- Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Atlas Hands
- Charlie Simpson - Down Down Down
- Coldplay - Yellow
- David Gray - Sail Away
- Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now
Go have a cheeky listen if you fancy seeing what I like to listen to when I'm in the bath!
Another thing which I religiously use to relax is my Foot Spa, I got given the Cosmopolitan Foot Spa for my birthday and I'm not ashamed to say the other night I spent the night with a face mask, glass of wine, Crazy Stupid love with my feet bubbling away. From working 10 hour shifts in a bar to 8 hours running around with 6 year olds, looking after my feet at the end of the day is a wonderful treat.
I also LOVE watching films and rubbish t.v (Guilty as charged), as I type this I am watching the Celebrity Big Brother entrance show. Netflix is definitely one of my best friends and there is nothing more cosy and relaxing than sitting down and forgetting the world watching something on the sofa or at the cinema.
There are the main things which I do to relax on an evening, but I also find painting my nails or baking relaxing however baking isn't necessarily a quick evening activity. Weirdly, I also find cleaning and tidying quite therapeutic (mess just stresses me right out!).
What do you do to relax?
