Just me being nosy once more!

I have had a rather hectic day and I'm unwinding with chocolate (galaxy counters) a hot shower and YLF.

What is your preferred method for unwinding after a long and busy day?

By sipping piping hot and spicy chai and lounging in the patio. And then scotch on the rocks and soaking my feet in the foot spa thingy after dark, if I still need unwinding

Pinot Grigio in a beautiful glass sipped slowly with some REALLY rich cheese and thin whole grain crackers. AHHH.
Then maybe some dark chocolate after the wine.

Glass of wine and bath with Lush Avobath bomb, then retire to bed with a good book (currently re-reading Harry Potter).

Mmm usually it's Turkish Delight. If i'm after some cheering up these websites usually fit the bill

I'm in the wine camp as well. I also like to use my favorite coconut almond shower gel.

If in the middle of the day - sit down with a cup of tea and something to read.
At the end of the day - curl up on the couch under a blanket and watch (currently) Gilmour Girls or Upstairs Downstairs

The interwebs on my laptop, the 65-inch HDTV in the living room, a glass of wine, and a chat with DH on the cell phone from distant cities or live and in person.

If it's at the end of the day, either a glass of good red wine or a cup of mint herbal tea, some dark chocolate and I prop myself lengthwise on the sofa with legs flopped over DH's lap. Then either a book or the laptop join me and life is perfect.

a good moan at my hubs, unless he's the stressor...then it's chocolate or potato chips or what have you.

interesting that food and drink are so popular as comfort objects/rituals.

In the morning if I need a relaxer - Woodland Flute CD or something else soft playing, candles lit (for aroma), windows open (for breeze if it's nice out)/slippers & comfy pj's if it's not, nice hot cup of coffee w/special creamer of the season (mocha peppermint right now or something like that) & surf these wonderful fashion blogs/forum and just enjoy the morning slowly....

Middle of the day or 1st day of vacation - massage (oh preferrably on the beach feeling the breeze, listening to the waves rush in)....

In the evening - nice glass of red wine, rich cheeses/specialty crackers, olives, followed by dark chocolate, candles, and sometimes a dip in the hot tub with hubby & some good oldie's on (that would probably be '80's for me...) - ohh & if it was a perfect night the snow would be falling...

I feel relaxed just thinking about it all!

Tea, popcorn, a soft couch, a warm fire (or since I don't build fires in my apartment, candles lit in the fireplace grate), comfortable at-home loungewear, and a favorite book or movie.

(I hope that your day improves, Julie! Sorry to hear that it was stressful.)
