Woooosahhhhhhhh....

Every busy girl, or guy, needs some down time, some relaxation and to just CHILL. Here are my top ten ways to unwind.. Without yelling, crying, or needing to take a whole bottle of Xanax.

10. TAKE A NAP!!
To those of you who “don’t have time”.. stop lieing to yourself! Replace the hour that you‘d usually be stalking someone on Facebook and SLEEP!

9. Be Lazy
Girls: Call an old friend. Not the friend who's nothing but drama or only talks about how miserable their life is, but the friend that always puts you in a good mood.
Guys: Since talking isn’t your strong suit, play a video game! You all love them, even if you claim otherwise, so call a friend on those weird little headsets and start blowing shit up!

8. Spa day!!!!
Spa days can be expensive, if you do the works (hair, massage, nails,  facial, etc.). If you have that kind of money.. GO FOR IT. But, the best way to relax and take your mind off the world is a longggg relaxing massage. If you can't even afford that.. bribe the significant other. ;)

7.  Listen to calm, relaxing music.
I’m not saying listen to a CD of ocean sounds or Bethoveen, but try Colbie Callait, Michael Buble, Jack Johnson or my favortie, Bob Marley.
.. all of these bring a whole new meaning to “chill” music.

6. Party on the Patio.
Whether you’re a college student or 90-years-old, hanging out on the porch is relaxing. You can watch the sunset, cook out or play beer pong. No matter how you spend your time, it’s relaxing to hang out with some friends and good ol’ mother nature.

5. Go shopping.
I am really strict with my money (because I don’t have much of it) but, whether it’s a boat or a hat, it can make you feel good to splurge a little and at least ACT like you have enough money to pay your bills. Just make sure you don't spend too much because it will stress you out even more.

4. Take a yoga class.
Wooooosahhhhh people. Yoga or pilates is for girls AND GUYS, and can be the most relaxing thing you’ll ever experience… and it can make you much more flexible for future festivities.

3. Have a night out.
Girls: Get dolled up, call your friends and have a girls night.. Dresses, martinis, the whole nine yards
Guys: Hit up a happy hour.. No this doesn’t mean get as shitfaced as possible in a short amount of time.. It means grab some wings, some cold beers and watch whatever sport you're betting on that time of year (haha).

2. Game night
Not pong or football.. I’m talkin’ Trouble or Pictionary. Take it old school and find some friends that don’t mind acting like they’re in fifth grade again.

1. Laugh.. A lot!!!
It doesn’t cost any money and everyone is capable of it..
Girls: Tune into an episode of Chelsea Lately, aka my idol
Guys: Dane Cook or Kat Williams are personally my two favorites..
Whoever you prefer, just make it someone who will have you on the verge of peeing your pants.. For example..

Well, there it is. Choose one a week to calm yourself down for the rest of the week, or unwind from the week before. No more bitching and moaning.. You have officially been granted the right to relax and the tools to help you do it.
