The bath in your top photo looks very relaxing. I love to write when I'm feeling stressed, especially poetry.

My best way to relieve stress is to go shopping, and try on a ton of clothes, find great bargains, get a yummy snack, and call it a day. Not only it gets my mind off everything else,it really makes me tired, so I have no problem falling and staying asleep....at least that day.

nice tips! sadly but usually people use get drunk (or smoked) and that's it. but you forget about some pretty powerful and healthy way to beat stress- sex

Sleeping,shopping,music and bath work for me.

It is very nice & helpful to the person who really wants to reduce their weight & to be confident women - SM

Haha you're right about the sex, Ave. But do people really need a step-by-step guide to have sex? :D

Going to the mall to get tired sometimes works for me. But other times, I just get sad because I stop myself from buying things I cannot afford or don't need. :(
