When a Kit Kat Just Won't Cut It
My Top Five Suggestions for Relaxation

[1] Old Movies

There are few things that are as wonderfull as lying on your sofa with a box of cookies and an old flick. Old movies tend to be low-key, so there won't be many expolsions or stimulating images to make you feel anxious or stressed. And I believe there is something very comforting in their stories-- something timeless and romantic. And it always helps to have a good cry.

My Top 3 Old Movies:

Click on the title to see the trailer/video clip.

Sabrina: Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart in a classic love story. Very light, very uplifting.
The Ghost and Mrs.Muir: The first time I saw this, I was babysitting for some neighbors who owned it. They came in just as the credits were rolling down the screen to find me wrapped in one of their blankets and crying my eyes out. It's a wonder full story.

The Maltese Falcon: This is a fun film noir starring Humphrey Bogart as slick private detective Sam Spade on a trail to find the Maltese Falcon who along the way meets Mary Astor as a scheming beauty, Peter Lorre as a slime ball criminal and Sindey Greenstreet as the notorious villain Fat Man.

[2] Baths

Nothing strips off the days stress (and dirt) like a warm bubble bath. The warm water relaxes your muscles and gives you a chance to take an hour to yourself and forget about the days events.

[4] Food

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you you should fill the gaping wounds inside of you with strawberry cheesecake till the pain goes away and you go up three pant sizes. I'm just telling you that every so often we do need to sit back and enjoy one of the greatest pleasures in the world: Food.
My Top 3 Comfort Foods:

Tea

So many flavours. So many options. So delicious. So comforting. So glorious. I love tea.
Milkshake
1 Part Milk. 30000 Parts Ice-Cream. Can't argue with a classic.
Fruit
Fruit is amazing and hard to get sick of. Mix some berries(or any other fruit) with yogurt, whipped cream, milk or sugar for an outstanding snack.

[5] Do Something Alone

This may sound a little strange, but it has always helped me in the past. I love my friends and family but sometimes the only thing to make me feel better is to be independent for a while. It's reassuring. You could go to a movie you really wanted to see, you could bring a book to a park and sit down for a while, or you could treat yourself to an expensive latte at a nice coffee shop.

These things are always fun to do with friends but try to take a different spin on it to see what it's like.

SO RELAX. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF!

These are a few of my favourite things
and they arn't kittens and mittens

Train Stations or Stations of Any Kind

There is something romantic and futuristic about them.

Phone Booths

They are so shiny and slick and fun to look at.

City Buses/ Public Transit
I love being on the bus-- it's so relaxing and makes me think that the world is a more organized and nice place. Think about it-- you and almost anyone else can go anywhere for a buck eighty.

Old Junk

I don't mean Urban Outfitters 'vintage' look. I mean actual junk-- like Elvis busts, broken lamps, people's old photographs, diaries, date-books, etc... I just like em.

Old Library Books

I love looking at old books. They smell good, they remind me of this first edition of Heidi I used to have. And even more, I love reading the card slips to see who read the book before me. The other day I took out a book that had last been taken out in 1963.
