Win a Sanctuary Spa Pamper Hamper worth £100 *NOW CLOSED*

Like many, my favourite way is a bath and a good book. I also find jigsaws relaxing and always have a large one set out on a piece of plywood (tucked under the sofa) that I can pull out and spend time on. My ultimate relax however is an afternoon siesta!

In common with nearly everyone, a lovely scented bubble bath and a good book. Soothing music in the background, and if I've time, a face pack. If I'm feeling really decadent, there'll be a box of chocs and a glass of fizz on the side.

A nice hot bubble bath with a face mask and large glass of wine.

A hot bath and listen to an audiobook for me!

Love to curl up with a steaming mug of hot chocolate and a cryptic crossword

I like to relax with a nice cup of tea, soft lighting and a classic film on.

I love to read and find it really relaxes me as soon as I start! I also find cooking and baking very relaxing too.

Go for a long walk and then return for a welcome cup of tea

I like a nice hot bubble bath and a good book

Walk i the forest with dogs , followed by a relaxing bath , fingers crossed my back rubbed then off to bed with a soya hot chocolate & book.

Yoga .. calms the mind stretches the old body out and makes all right in the world again ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

My weekly pamper night, includes a face mask/peel, followed by my yoga facial exercises (no recovery and a free way to minimise wrinkles)

This is followed by a long refreshing shower which includes a body scrub, hair treatment after shampoo and condition which I leave on with a head towel wrap until I have finished showering. I also do my weekly shave and feet pedicure whilst in the shower.

Taking time to relax after, fresh bedding is a must that night, and taking time to do my hair.

Followed my a mug of hot chocolate, biscuits, meditation and listening to spiritual speakers in bed. Bliss

I usually go for a short walk and sit somewhere that has a wonderful view and take 10 minutes to just sit and appreciate the beauty

Usually i will sit and cross stitch, maybe put on a film or series for a bit of back ground noise. I just find stitching a very therapeutic activity, especially after a hard day

Before I had problems with my hands, I found that jewellery making was a great stressbuster. It was such a great feeling, looking at the finished article.
Nowadays, it's working in the garden, followed by a long hot soak in a bubble bath.

Another vote for a very good book, a scented bath, along with coffee and chocolates, that's my number 1. I also find going out for a drive in the countryside and singing loudly to the radio does the trick too!

I love to swim and then relax in the steam room - pure bliss!

One sip of a cup of tea and the relaxing 'ahhh' immediately comes from my mouth and I feel my whole body relaxing

i have a nice warm bubble bath and read a good book

A warm bath and a glass of wine

A magic cup of tea made by son (which is a cuppa that comes with 10 mins peace) Bliss xx

Bubble bath, candles, soft music do it for me
But what makes it perfect is a large G&T!

To unwind I get comfortable with my laptop on my knee and enter some competitions, cup of tea by my side and just forget about the stressful day I've had

like many others, soak in hot bath, essential oils, candle, or feet up to focus the mind on a good read, or sit in the sun, or get dirty with gardening. feel the un-wind happen.

Feet up and a good book to read
