Top tips to unwind

Hey loveliesss!!

I ran a poll on twitter and asked what you guys would like to see as my next post and you chose "How I like to relax" Thank you to everyone who voted ! 
Let's get started shall we?
So, we all live very different yet busy lives and everything can seem quite fast paced, so it's really important to take some time out of your day and just do something calming that you love. I'm sharing with you a few things I do to unwind from the day.


Colouring.
Some people don't understand why adults colour, let me tell you. It find it a form of creative expression and you can completely focus your mind on colouring. I used to colour quite a lot when I felt stressed. I'd take my pencil case to and book to work with me and spend my lunch time in a quiet nearby field colouring. Something about it is really relaxing and that's what I love. 
There are so many different intricate and beautiful books around at the moment, my favourite are "animal kingdom" by Millie Marotta, and my Disney princess anti stress book.

Bubble baths
I do love a good bath, with candles and bubbles. It's the perfect was to end a long day at work. Something about being in water is soothing to me but I'll often get interrupted by the cat sitting on the edge dipping his tail in and swiping at the bubbles.

Blogging
Since I started blogging I've found that it's a really effective way for me to focus my mind on writing about things I love. When I'm not writing I'm catching up on all of your posts which again is equally effective to forget the day to day stresses of life and gain inspiration for posts too.

Pamper
Some times a face mask and and a nice body butter can be just what I need. I got loads of soap and glory products for Christmas to try so I'm fully stocked up on my pamper essentials. It's nice just to take some me time and do something girly as a pick me up.



Disney films.
I'm a huge Disney fanatic and I've loved all the classics since I was small. My favourites are Beauty and the Beast (Who else is excited for the remake this year!) and Mulan. I love to just get cosy in my PJ's, whack on a disney film and just chill on the sofa, usually with a chocolatey snack.

Gaming
I 100% blame my boyfriend and his brother for getting me into call of duty. I've never really been into gaming but somehow I got hooked.. I guess your probably thinking its a little odd because it's quite a violent game, but I love playing and I play to win!  I do play less aggressive games on my iPad like the sims and cooking fever but I found all the cheats and they aren't as fun anymore.

Cuppa tea and TV
Can't beat a good ol' cuppa tea while watching Eastenders of an evening. Milk and two please 


I've always been a stress-head and a worrier so it's important for me to take some time out just to chill.. How do you like to relax and unwind, let me know in the comment section below

Thanks for being here
Kisses and Love

Let's stay connected.

  5. These are great ways to relax! I really need to get into colouring, I actually think I have a colouring book that my sister left behind so I might start to use it. When I need to relax I like to put on a face mask, some music and enjoy a cup of tea while watching netflix

  6. Yes! Yes to everything! Disney is my favourite. Let's just move there?! Also, I get so stressed out with adult colouring books as I get major anxiety when I think about making a mistake in them! I've been sticking to children's ones haha but recently got an adult one and I'm actually excited to start!

  21. Watching kids movies are the best! I like to light candles, listen to ocean sounds and read or relax in silence. I have been trying to decide on if I should get a coloring book.
