What do you Need for National Relaxation Day – Spa Day at Home
What do you Need for National Relaxation Day?
What do you need for National Relaxation Day? Since this day is once a year; I think we all need more than one day to slow down, unwind and have some downtime.
What do you Need for National Relaxation Day?
In 1985, this day was started by Sean Moeller who was in the 4th grade. At the same time, his goal was to let people know today isn’t about cleaning and doing real work; but a day to take it easy and relax. Though this day didn’t really get any attention until 2001; many thought this holiday was modeled after a British holiday known as Slackers Day. Moreover, this holiday isn’t only celebrated in the United States, but all over the world.
So, every year this holiday is celebrated on August 15th. And, since this year falls on a Sunday; there’s a good chance many people won’t be working. However, if you work in a job that requires you to work today; you should try and take the day off. But, if you cannot take the day off; make sure you take a walk during your break.
How to Relax Today
Meanwhile, if you are not working today; start the day by taking a long walk or hike.
When you come home, set up a private oasis in your bathroom. For some ideas; be sure to visit my Spa Experience at Home post. With this in mind, the Ultimate at Home Spa Relaxation Kit is ideal. Not only is this a great item to buy for ourselves; but also to give as a gift to a family member or a friend.

Plan a day to go on a hike, a walk on the beach, or go in your own backyard and play some calming music.
In my opinion, there are different ways to relax. One person may prefer an activity; while another person prefers a cat nap, a day of pampering, or to take an art or music class. Indeed, there are many choices!
Since I’m a book lover, there is nothing more enjoyable to me than going in my backyard and sitting in my screened-in gazebo and reading for hours. My little secret – I often bring my mobile device and home phone with me and often stop reading to check my business emails. Shush – don’t tell!
Recently, I read the Bennett Series. Fall in love with this family’s matchmaking and their tight family bond!
So, book 1 starts out with Sebastian who is the head of a business empire and is single. Though he comes from a loving family; he hasn’t ever been in love. Enter Ava who is his new consultant. And, sparks ignite!
Your Irresistible Love (The Bennett Family) - Kindle edition by Hagen, Layla. Contemporary Romance Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
In the second series, Sebastian’s brother, Logan is determined not to be fixed up. But, his sister, Pippa has other ideas. When Logan meets Ava’s best friend, Nadine; their chemistry leaps off the pages.
Right from the beginning, Pippa was one of my favorite family members. Though she was in a bad marriage prior; she never gave up on love. Not only has Pippa been instrumental in playing matchmaker to some of her other family members; but she is ready to fall in love. Enter, Eric and his daughter. This story will capture your attention from the beginning
Though I loved the first 3 books; I wasn’t able to get into some of the other stories. Since I skipped a few of the books after reading the sample; I did enjoy reading Your Alluring Love.
A crush, food, and a TV producer come together in this story that will have you craving tasty food and cocktails.
Finally, the last book I read in the series was a really cute story. In your Endless Love, Alexander meets Alex who is a popular Hollywood actor. From the minute they meet, they seem to develop a connection. Though there are obstacles in their way; Alexander and Alex form a special relationship.
Benefits – What you Need for National Relaxation Day
In the first place, relaxation can lead to better physical and mental health. Recently, there have been many studies that have indicated that meditation has helped lower blood pressure.
Meanwhile, there is nothing better for stress than having some downtime to help you improve your concentration and improve your productivity. Hence, this is due to stress hormones and more importantly, can interfere with your mental and physical health.
In summary, relaxing regularly helps. So, spend the day doing nothing at all or something that inspires you.
Whether you choose to sleep in today or participate in some type of activity; try to use the day to do something you will enjoy.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

Echoes of Tomorrow
ing city where dreams collide and hopes soar, there stood a small, unassuming cafe. Its name, "Echoes of Tomorrow," whispered promises of nostalgia and foresight, drawing weary souls seeking solace and inspiration. Amidst the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle hum of conversations, there existed a tale, a tale of love and loss, of dreams realized and shattered.

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
