I like to draw a very hot bath, light scented candles and put something low and mellow on. Oil in the bath and just sink in for a soak. Take my time with the grooming. It's all about me.

What do you like to do in your beauty regimen to relax?

I take a bath at night before I go to bed as often as I can without putting the water bill too high!
I even do it in the summer, although not as much. It's my time to get away and reflect on what's going on in my life or try to forget about it completely.

My husband used to come in and sit with me and chat...although he doesn't do this much anymore 😢
He claims the new tub is not wide enough for him to sit comfortably...ah...who cares??!! My Gem moon needs to talk, damnit!

Shiatsu head massages are amazing. No matter how stressed I am never fails to relax me.

Sometimes I run, sounds a strange way to unwind but it clears my mind and gives me time to think.

A piping hot bubble bath with candles and a nice glass of red wine also usually does the trick. 🙂

I go for a long walk or run with my dog...or. just stand at the edge of water on the beach and throw rocks in the water. Some rocks carry wishes, some rocks carry troubles I want to end...I like it.

reading. It's a passive action, and listening to music. It switches up. Sometimes, i like to write, which is more of an action - action but it helps release imagination. And putting it out on paper feels as if you're actualizing the image.

Water water water is my unwind - a swim in the bath, with some beautiful music in the background never fails to level me. Its a bad day if I have 2 baths :/
