Relax, take it easy.

Here in my country May 1st and May 2nd are national holidays so today (April 30th) is perfect to think about how we’ll relax and take things easy. Well most people will do that, but if you’re like me: working at home, nothing really changes during holidays  If you have a lot of things to do, you don’t think about holidays at all. You just work. M. constantly reminds me that I need to take things more slowly and just take a deep breath from time to time. Because sometimes I forget about all other things and I get so caught up with all work related things that I forget to take a moment for me and my loved ones. So I’m still balancing these things and I’m not very good at it, truth to be told. So maybe I’ll have some time of during these days and spend it with my family since they’ll be all home and enjoying their free time.

And I found few things that might help me relax and clear up my mind. First let’s start with books. I love a good book and these are on my reading list for quite some time now: Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self is a collection of letters from celebrities written to their sixteen-year-old selves. So this should be fun, right? (price range: 11€ – 15€ ) Ellen Degeneres wrote a book: Seriously I’m kidding and I started reading it and I just need to finish it. It’s fun and easy reading – perfect for spring relaxing time. (price range: 10€ – 20€). Don’t go to the cosmetic counter without me is apparently must-have if you’re into a make up and things like that. I heard so much about it and will absolutely purchase it, but I always forget. (price around: 15€)

Milka Oreo is one of my favorite chocolates and I could eat it all the time. So when I think about relaxing I thing about Milka and delicious cocktail. I found you a receipe for the one I showed you today, and you can check it out here. It’s called Mango Margarita. And if you perhaps love those glasses as much as I do (I want them so badly), you can find them in Zara Home: Turquoise one and red one.

When I’m reading I like to sit in a comfortable chair on I’m in my bed. So this one form Ikea looks really nice and you can get it here, for around  83€. Lovely candle scent is a must-have when you want to relax and I found this brand new summer fragrance, called Summer Scoop – Delicious memories of creamy, homemade strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day. And you’ll pay around $28 for this baby (21€). Last but not least I thought about nice and easygoing music too! And I found this Chill-out music cd from Zara Home and you can find it here. You can listen parts of songs from this cd on the on their page, too. So go see if you like it.

I hope you’ll enjoy holidays and be nice to each other!
