1. RPM. Hitting the gym and in particular hitting up a couple of RPM classes a week has been fantastic. For 45 minutes all that really matters is your legs going around as fast as they possibly can and trying to not draw attention to yourself from the intense instructor. It makes you feel strong. It makes your worries fade.
2. Cooking. Making super yummy nutritious meals that make my appetite come back are always a winning day to deal with tough times. Plus putting good food into your body gives you that awesome buzz and feeds you and boosts up your b vitamin levels for the next day.
3. Baths with goodies from Lush. Lush is seriously one of my favourite shops. Full of yummy smells and possibilities of smelling like that all over! I love their Ma Bar bubble bath, Honeymooner massage bar, Honey I shrunk the kids soap and Dream Time temple balm. All my favourite picks for a bath night. A glass of bailieys and milk makes it complete.
4. New nail polish. Superficial i know, but nothing beats down typing away at work and looking down and seeing little lilac nails glimmering away. Gets you through a Friday quick smart.
5. Watching The Devil Wears Prada. Preferably in bed. Or on pay week when you can dream about buying expensive handbags and boots. And lets face it, as tough as work gets it can't get much tougher than being forced to find flights home for Miranda Presely during a storm. Makes me feel better everytime. The Freedom Writers is also a winner, esp for teachers :)
Reading number 2 just makes me wanna watch Julie & Julia. And that just makes me wanna eat the food that she cooks. Which makes me wish I knew how to cook.
ReplyDeleteThis blog post makes me wanna be a chef.
"Watching The Devil Wears Prada. Preferably in bed."
Same, except substitute 'The Devil Wears Prada' with Ocean's Eleven. Watching Brad Pitt and George Clooney steal millions of dollars from an asshole is so relaxing.
The Oceans Series is also a "ahh I feel horrible what movies will make me feel a bit better.. oh i know..." win.
ReplyDeleteI just crashed out and watched both of the Step Up movies which have left me with a slight envious aftertaste as I'm once again reminded a). how much I disliked high school and how relieved I am to be an adult. & b). I will never be a great dancer and wont be on any movies in the near future with my non existing dancing talent.
