Things that keep me sane...

Hey guys! Hows your day been? Ive just got home from a stressful day at school so that triggered the idea of this post! Im going to share with you some of the things that keep me sane when I'm having an average or crappy day! What keeps you sane?

For me silence is wonderful in helping me de-stress. I prefer to be alone and comforted with the following things:
- So firstly we have the laptop (obviously). Can't live without some form of technology especially when you want to relax or look up funny cat pictures on google (we all do it).
- Miranda Kerr's book ' Treasure Yourself' is awesome at making you feel good about yourself therefor is perfect in a situation where everything including yourself is annoying you.
- BED SOCKS!!! I love these, they are like pieces of heaven have fallen down and landed on my feet. They automatically make you feel relaxed and cozy.
- I find moisturising my neck and legs helps relax me, it just feels so good and nourishing and makes me take a deep breath and just enjoy moving. I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels good ha!
- Candles!! fairly self explanatory why these are amazing at relaxing you. They can actually affect your attitude. By triggering parts of your brain that signal your body to relax, scented aromatherapy candles can boost your mood and reduce your stress levels. The candle I have pictured is just a candle from Kmart, its an exotic spiced berries & pomegranate fragrance and it smells soooo good!
-Family!  Although I personally prefer being alone when I am stressed, family can be really helpful too. Walking into the lounge room and seeing my little sisters watching kid shows I  used to watch as a kid is  enough to make me smile :) 

They are the main things that help me, but I thought of a few more whilst writing this,  E.g) food, music, friends, movies, shopping and pets. 
After writing this I really can't wait to go and relax :D 
Be sure to let me know in the comments section what your favourite way to relax is and have a wonderful rest of the day! xoxo
