Relaxing Entry #8

 What do you do when you are stressed and need to relax? Do you read? Do you go on a night on the town with your friends? Do you stay in and watch movies? 

There are so many options when it comes to relaxing. You could go to a body of water and relax. Or go see family if they make you feel better. Or even just stay in your house and binge your favorite TV show for the 5th time. 

I have noticed that the only way that I can relax when I am super overwhelmed is to distract myself. I either pick up that book I have been forgetting to read or go out with my friends or family. But when I sit at home everything stays in my mind running through it all a million times over. Or I go to work and that allows me to think about something else. And keeps me busy which is something I like to do. 

In order for me to fully relax it normally takes me getting myself in order. I have to take nice long everything shower with music playing. Then treat myself to a spa night and get into bed with my book. This unfortunately does not happen very often because life gets in the way, or we are just too tired to do all that. But it is good to prioritize relaxing at least once a week to keep the stress levels at a controllable level.

Entry #1 The Joys of Reading

Image
I love to read. That is what I do whenever I have free time or just have nothing else to do. I do not like to read just anything I enjoy the mystery books or the murder books. Reading is a great way to pass time because not only is it very fun to do but it also keeps your brain engaged. Reading allows people to destress and only focus on what is being read instead of the world around us. It is a momentary pause on life like a break. A good thing about enjoying reading is that there is a lot of different genres for books, but you can also read blogs, magazines, newspapers, online articles. Then if you like books but don't like reading a physical copy you can read an e-book. And if you cannot afford to buy books there are libraries. All I am saying with this is that reading is not limited to one thing there are so many options.  Reading allows use to reduce our screen time and help stop or at least not do as much brain rot or mindlessly scrolling on Instagram or TikTok. Reading also ...

      Today i am going to talk about something that can be used outside of the house to keep your breath refreshed and smelling like you just brushed your teeth. This can be used when you have just eaten something and are worried about if you need to talk to someone. Or if you just feel your breath could be refreshed.      This package as you can see has some holographic designs behind the lettering taking up just about the whole top of the package. The color of this package is associated with the flavor since this one is wintergreen it is a blueish green. There are two opening in the package one side allows you to shake just one of these delicious circle breath refreshes out and the other opens the container to about the midsection and allows you to grab many. When you open the package, it makes a pop noise.      The breath refresher itself is a small circle that has little blueish green specks. It is not flat it has a little bit of depth to...
