Call A Friend

You know I am a fan of social media, but nothing beats reaching out to an old girlfriend and having a good conversation on the phone or zoom. I enjoy this way of reconnecting with some of my friends from high school, old neighbors and cousins. It’s so nice to hear a familiar voice and laugh over old jokes and stories. It does wonders for the soul.

Soak in a Warm Bath

While this practice is not new. There are few products to consider adding to your relaxing ritual. This brand of products are a wonderful way to treat yourself. The body wash contains niacinamide which will help nourish and soften you skin. Something that is needed during the winter months.

Afterwards slip into a nice set pajamas. I have a few sets of these Printfresh pajamas that are made of a nice breathable organic cotton fabric that keep you comfortable and cool.

Listen to Soothing Music

I recently changed the music I listen to at home and I really like the tone that it sets. I’ve been listening to a playlist titled Coffee House on pandora and my husband doesn’t mind it either, in fact, I think he actually enjoys it too. I like to put the music on while cooking and have fun with the mood it puts me in.

Taking at least just 5-10 minutes to unwind during your day is a great way to treat yourself. What are a few ways that you like to relax and un-wind at home?
