[...] on my faces, but I do have two main go-to very versatile dinner staples in regular rotation — dinner salads and lettuce wraps. Super healthy and super easy. I made these last [...]

A warm shower, in candelight.
Sitting quietly and still.
Acupuncture
Going on walkabouts
Watching films by Antonioni
Walking silently with a good friend. There are just some people that you don’t even have to speak with, there presence alone is quite calming.

Hey bella! We are living parallel lives right now. Work has me soo stress out and overwhelmed. Then after that I’m up late working on my blog. Working on weekends. AND I’m applying to grad school. I just feel to low on energy most of the time. That’s funny I bought some of that Melt Away Stress lotion, too. I was like…right now I need anything that can do that.

I will have to check out your de-stress book. I plan to REALLY de-stress starting tomorrow though as I’m headed for a week in Costa Rica. Zip lining and thermal hot springs here I come!

Wishing you a wonderful time of relaxation!

Thank you so much for this Bella, you know I am all about the calm! It feels so good to relax after a long day. I like to take a walk, listen to soothing music like enya or my ambient lounge cd’s and sip on some tea. Yoga is another wonderful way to unwind.

I love silence. I think it’s more like platinum than golden. I am also a wife & stay at home mom of 2 extremely talkative 2 & (almost) 5 year old little Bellas. Nothing beats their early bedtime (8pm is late in this house!) especially when Mr. Lima is working nights! Lately I’ve developed a bad habit snacking on chips or cookies to relax so I’m trying to curb that & get back to my fruits. Walking & reading also help me “de-stressify”, but I don’t get to do either very often. When driving, if I need the little Bellas to be quiet for a bit, I pop in a dvd (Bad Mama!) for them & put in Bob Marley’s Legend.

I love to take a bath. Wash all of that negativity and grime of the day. I also watch cartoons like Curious George and Chowder. They take me out of my adult mind and plug me back into my kid side.

beware of “fragrance” though. that’s a very vague label that could mean a bunch of things, many negative. go to the natural food store and get some lavendar essential oil instead.
