Not to be negative so early on in 2009, but I’m pretty sure there will be something that will stress you out this year!
Since my friends and I are going back to school after a long, wonderful holiday (sigh!), we are all starting to feel the pressure, so I decided to write a list of beauty ways you can relax.
All my ideas on this list are probaby much better without any music, cellphones, or any other distractions:
- Get a professional facial. I can’t think of anything better! You literally do nothing and have the best time.
- Or, make your own facial. Apply a nice face mask and sit down in a comfortable environment and just relax for 20 minutes.
- Get a nice massage. If you dare, try a snake massage too!
- Manicure and pedicure sessions – try doing it yourself too, it is very peaceful and calming.
- Sit by the pool/beach and just close your eyes. But don’t you dare forget your sunscreen!
- A Bubble bath. Load up on the sweetest bubble baths you have and just enjoy.
- Pamper your hair. Apply a deep conditioning treatment.
- Look through my Bath & Body posts to see what else you can pamper yourself with!
A personal favorite of mine is to switch off my cellphone or hide it under my bed (I have a love/hate relationship with it, the poor thing!) and just read something nice or look at old photographs.
What do you do to relax? Feel free to add your own tips in the comments – we can all help each other! 
(And how good does that photo look, by the way?!)

Sitting at the hair dressers all day getting pampered is my way. Would also recommend yoga.
Switching off the cellphone is a good one. In today’s age technology is useful, but it can sometimes be stressful. My friend checks her phone every 2 minutes and emails back instantly. it is so stressful to just watch! i like to swicth off my phone once in a while too, and just do my own thing. reading in a quiet spot in my house is great. Beauty-wise, I do love getting my hair done
wish i could lie down n relax like the girl in pic now too. i love facials
i fall asleep each time during facial. so relaxing and soothing (after the painful extraction)
prettybeautiful’s last blog post … New: Elianto Miracle Multiplex and Miracle White Multiplex BB Cream
I love facials as well! Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll ever be getting them after one terrible experience! It was wonderful, until my face exploded in redness and breakouts the following weeks – so never again!
Bubble baths are a must have. Bubble bath, candles and a good book. Heaven! Try it, it’s so relaxing.
Lying on the couch with a good book is my way to relax.
I also have facials once a month. What a treat!
I can combine both of your suggestions … a bubble bath with a good book! My gosh that sounds like heaven, I don’t have a tub in my house
