I like to get in the kitchen and bake something to relax
i go for a long run and jam out to clap your hands say yeah. (and i like honey kennedy on fb!)
A long weekend to my father’s house on the Mississippi is always nice. Or an afternoon in bed watching an old classic movie.
I have liked HK on facebook for some time now ;)
Either reading in the bath or walking along a beach in cold weather.
And I also like HK on facebook. :)
one of my favorite ways to unwind: swimming. or really, anything to do with water..
Oh my! This giveaway is amazing! Crossing my fingers. Right now, in the middle of a Portland winter, I like to sit on our couch with our dog, Charlie, knit, drink a warm beverage and listen to music. Ahhhh. I also like HK on facebook.
I just saw those Fig + Yarrow bath salts on Anthropolgie’s site and they really appealed to me because I love a long bath with a book. You have such wonderful taste, all of these items are lovely.
Like you on FB
honey kennedy: liked! :)
With a baby, the most relaxing thing i do right now is occasionally take a shower that lasts longer than three minutes. I also like reading and eating cookies in front of the fire :)
I love making an awesome cocktail and taking a bath…it’s so perfect! oh, and with a killer book, but i think this kit might make relaxing MUCH easier and more fun!
To relax I like to cozy up on the couch with tea and preferably a sweet snack to watch a movie. Cheers!
Liked on FB as well. Forgot to mention what a great giveaway. Cheers!
Taking a long, candle-lit bubble bath while listening to Cher!
Oh, & I liked Honey Kennedy on Facebook! Keep up the rad blogging!!
I like to listen to Muted Miles by Miles Davis. I walk a lot, and treat myself with a stop for a coffee.
When I was pregnant I took baths. Now I don’t have time. ^_^
Love to unwind by painting my toes and watching trashy tv.
My favourite way to unwind – well I’m going to tell you two ways because I always do them together because they involve the same ingredients. I bake cookies, and then while they’re in the oven I do an olive oil, oatmeal, brown sugar scrub all over my body. I like that I’m using the same ingredients on my body that will soon be going in. And to be honest, I ate a bunch of the dough already.
Liked on FB! xx
Stand still my heart, thank you so much for this dreamy prize!!
I enter your lovely giveaways everytime and follow your posts, you outdid yourself this time

I like to sink into the couch with Six Organs of Admittance playing and a good book. (Right now that’s the 3rd Game of Thrones book!)
Seeing all these dreamy gifts, NOW I know what pampering really means!!
LOL
I treat myself to a beautiful accessory every now and then or some handmade chocolate that I adore -oh and a glass of fine champagne :-)

i love your taste – all of these selections are amazing!
to unwind, i go for a long walk with my dog, take a hot yoga class, or head to the ceramics studio!
What a lovely giveaway! I love to walk my dog through my neighborhood at night, hot baths and tea(or wine),and my favorite thing is to pick out and read books from the library. Liked on fb!
Depending on if I’m in a lazing mood or an antsy mood, I’ll either settle onto the couch with a cup of Earl Grey to knit and watch old episodes of Frasier or go out for a long run!
And I like Honey Kennedy on Facebook :)
This collection is so beautiful. That clutch! Wannnnnnt!
I tend to unwind by curling up under a blanket and watching something scary & panic inducing like The Walking Dead or American Horror Story. Perhaps I should reevaluate my unwinding methods…
I like to take a walk to work out any lingering angst from the day, then settle in under a warm blanket and watch a funny movie…preferably with some hot licorice tea and butterscotch candies. :)
After a long day I like to open my mail and look at beautiful catalogs on the bed with my cat. Thanks for the chance! I liked you on FB.
I love going for a run or hike outside. Breathing all that fresh air helps me unwind and relax.

My favourite way to unwind at this time of year is with a cup of hot chocolate while I cuddle with my other half and our chubby tuxedo cat, Vinny…while of course watching a fav Christmas movie like Die Hard.
I also liked your page on facebook!
Happy holidays!

Such a beautiful set of prizes…! And quite a lot, too! So if I do win, I think I’ll share them with some of my close friends. My favourite way to unwind is quite simple: as soon as I get home, I undress and put my satin pyjama pants on. I do some yoga, intense or more relaxed depending on my energy levels, before I run a nice hot bath in which I stay until I have finished a decent amount of reading. Hm, sounds blissful right now.
Burn sweet grass incense (it smells like a bonfire!) and carve wax for my lost wax casting jewelry!
my favourite way to unwind is watching xfiles with my kitty. hopefully mac n cheese will show up to the party too.
fbook’d :)
My favorite way to relax is by sitting down with a good book and a nice mug (or three!!) of tea. Especially in the winter in front of a cozy fireplace! :)
I like you on FB!
Thanks for the fantastic set of prizes for the giveaway!!
Candles + Mogwai + Scotcharoos + Hot bath = Heaven.
I love your facebook page.
I hide out in the fir trees in a quiet part of our backyard with a book. I get a little time away from my kiddos while they have a rousing version of hide-and-seek: try to find mom! It’s a win-win situation for everyone. :)
I love that its winter again because my favourite way to unwind is to drink something warm and boozy, then snuggle up under blankets to watch some scandinavian crime thriller. Chocolate optional, cheese essential.
ps – im a facebook fan! xx
sweet blog. i like to unwind with a warm bath, good book, soothing music and nice smelling candles. :)
My favourite way to relax is with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit, wrapped up in a blanket and my knitting in hand. Already following you on facebook x
Probably yes, petting my cat, & reruns of Downton Abbey!
I relax by knitting simple scarves for family and friends…lovely yarn and simple patterns make all the stress disappear!
I already like you on FB too!
What a sweet giveaway!
I unwind the best when I have a day on my own: sleeping in, going out for a long run, having a nice hot shower, having a breakfast with scrambled eggs, avocado and freshly brewed tea I bought at Mariage Freres and reading the weekly newspaper (yes analog and oldschool but so nice). The world could go down after this, I would not get worked up.
p.s. I already follow you on facebook.
Shut. Up. THIS IS THE BEST GIVEAWAY OF ALL TIME.
I like to make Sean bring me tea and then smoke a clove in the bath. I don’t get to do that anymore though, so it’s more like trancing out on the Xmas tree lights with some hot cider and a magazine.
In the winter I love to make a pot of mulled wine and a red velvet cake made with beets. Then curl up with my cat and my dog and watch a Woody Allen flick or another classic. I already do “like” you on FB! <3
I relax by putting all things with LCD screens in another room for at least one entire minute.
anything involving my couch- reading, sleeping, watching tv, surfing the web. as long as I can cuddle up on the couch with my fave blanket and pillow!
If I’m feeling chill, like I’ve got time to spare, I like to cook something that takes a bit more time than a quickie meal, like a long simmering pot of soup or chili. A marathon book session on the couch with a blanket and tea or whiskey sounds brilliant, too. For a quicker, simple breather, I give myself an at-home, super amateur pedicure. Amazing giveaway, by the way. :)
I already like you on FB, too. You give great content.
Every so often I play hooky from work to go meander through the fog at Land’s End, then head over to Outerlands for hot ginger lemon apple cider and grilled cheese on homemade bread (made by cute surfer boys), with a good book in front of me.
I have two small kids, so if I can sneak in a 20 min bath, that’s pampering myself. Beautiful giveaway! “Liked” on FB!
My favorite way to unwind is to head down to the bay at sunset with my binoculars and a camera. It’s a meditation of sorts, to look carefully at light, birds, and butterflies through lenses, and absorb the salty bay smell.
So many lovely things! I love to read fashion magazines, wearing all jersey fabric, eating chocolate chip cookies! Especially homemade ones with brown butter. Delicious and relaxing!
In the winter, I like to drink coffee and listen to music while sitting in front of my light therapy lamp. It makes a world of difference! The best is when there’s also a kitty cat in my lap!
I snuggle with my dog and watch Doctor Who reruns with a glass of wine and yummy smelling candle.
I like yo on FB and my business also likes you on FB!
Also, liked on facebook!
Also, I have “liked” Honey Kennedy on facebook.
I’m in love with this giveaway! You had me at earl grey hot chocolate!! My favorite way to unwind in the cold season is to bake yummy treats to share with others (let’s be honest, I eat half of them myself), and then curl up in a blanket with tea and a good book. I also enjoy jumping in puddles during the rain and then soaking in a hot bath :)
And just liked you on FB!

My favorite way to relax is to get a massage from my husband. So good.

This giveaway is amazing. My favorite way to unwind is a cold beer and a good book. :)
What a fantastic roundup of wondrous things! I want all of them! RE: unwinding…hm. I either like to take a long, long walk and listen to some gloriously cheesy K-pop, or a like to spend an afternoon in the kitchen chopping and slicing and preparing foodstuffs for an appreciative bunch with an appetite! Or…snuggling up to a handsome man on a comfy sofa with a bottle of wine and something scary on the teevee. Or…let’s see. My favourite thing to do, and the simplest, I think, is just to lie on the carpet in the dark, at midnight, and listen to Dead Can Dance.
My favorite way to relax is with a good book.
And I follow HK on FB!
Cooking and listening to music, preferably together, is how I unwind!
Megan
And indeed, I continue with the liking of HK on the FB…
I love to go to work, edit pictures, and watch old movies. I can totally shut out the outside world.
I am a super duper recent follower!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I like to relax with any of the following combos: video games + beer, bath + Netflix, animal cuddling + ambient music. Obviously I’m a total homebody.
I’m partial to booking a massage, having a hot soak in eucalyptus epsom salts, lighting my St. John’s Wood Tatine candle, and then drinking some tea in my jams whilst watching a film — so civilized and soothing.
These giveaways are insane with goodness. I’m crossing everything so hard, I’m in a pretzel twist.
Thank you!
I have like HK on fb :)
Hello amazingness! My favorite way to pamper myself is with a massage and mani/pedi. Such a luxury, but it feels so good and you leave feeling relaxed and pretty. Oh, and I’m already a fan on Facebook. :)
I love to pour a glass of wine, run a hot bath, and sing loudly to my favorite music while soaking in the tub! Sometimes I’ll bring my journal to write down random silly thoughts or things that are weighing heavily on my mind so I can wash away all the stress. I feel so refreshed after!
current unwinding method- on the couch, under Pendleton blanket, kitty in lap, hot toddy in hand.
My favorite way to rewind is to plug in some Christmas lights, light my philosophy Amazing Grace candle, get cozy on the couch with a blanket and a glass of wine, and watch some Law and Order!
*unwind, that is!
Lets see, my favorite way of unwinding is simply taking time to craft while listening to my jams on Grooveshark!
*LIKED*
Pampering myself usually involves wine and dark chocolate. If I have a lot of time, I do my toenails while listening to music or watching a favorite girlie movie, like Breafast at Tiffany’s or Pride and Prejudice.
P.S. I already like you on FB. Thanks for all the fantastic holiday posts, they’ve given me tons of gift ideas for this year!
best giveaway ever! my favorite way to unwind is to treat myself to a yoga class, then head home for some tea in my flannel pajamas.
I also like HK on Facebook!
my pampering ritual is taking a bath, using all the body products around (from face mask to foot creams) and then doing my nails :)
and I’m following on FB!
I love getting massages. I think it’s the ultimate relaxation. Then go out to dinner afterwards. Relaxed body, full belly, what more could one ask for?
Hello – I already like HK on FB and my fav way to unwind is taking my sweet pup on a long walk through the woods. Best, Liz
And of course I “Like” Honey Kennedy on Facebook! It’s more like love really…
To unwind I go to a yoga class and sweat it all out, come home and take a nice hot shower for longer than I should, and when I get out I have a glass of wine ready that I poured pre-shower :)
Either taking a bath with a glass of wine or cleaning!
ohhh this looks so lovely! when i need to unwind, i like to bake, and then enjoy caloric buttery fatty goodness. treat yo self. i also like HK on Facebook!
thanks for a wonderful giveaway
Most days, after a super long day of work, I come home and soak my body in an epsom salt bath and then put on my softest pjs, grab a chocolate bar and get cozy in bed with some tea and movies!
Although if I could afford it, I would go for more full body massages, because those make you feel good for days, afterwards!
My favorite way to unwind is to grab a hot cup of spiced tea, giving myself a full pedi and indulging in a movie no one else in my family will watch. Wonderful to do when I have time to myself.
Am already a fan of HoneyKennedy on FB :)
I already follow you on FB. (L.w. Dyson) Thanks!
I like to go on long walks with my husband through Portland neighborhoods to relax. Yes, even in the rain.
Oh, and the much nerdier alternative is drinking whiskey and tea on the couch while we watch original series Star Trek and make fun of how terrible it is.
These are such fabulous picks! Great taste, as usual :-)
(I already like you on Facebook. Woohoo!)
I love to read a book and take a nice hot bath, especially now that its cold!
and I already follow you on facebook! <3
gah, please excuse my typos. :)
what I meant to say was:
I grew up and live in one of the most beautiful cities ever (Charleston, SC) and I am lucky enough to live one short block from this amazing park (Hampton Park). It is a historic part of the city, created in 1906 by the same offices that built Central Park. It was originally part of a large plantation, then a prisoner-of-war camp during the Civil War, then a part of the West Indian Exposition which President Roosevelt visited, then a zoo which closed down in the 60′s. Finally, it became a beautiful park for the nearby residents like myself to enjoy, filled with hundred year old oak trees, ponds and rose gardens, hanging moss and long pathways to leisurely wander. It is also a perfect spot for afternoon picnics under the trees, for weddings, for napping, for biking, jogging, walking dogs and playing games. This is my most favorite place in the city, an escape from the world where I am most relaxed and happiest. I could not imagine a day going by without it. If you visit Charleston, be sure to find it…it is a local’s favorite, off the beaten tourist path and I promise you will love it as much as I do.
My unwinding is deep conditioning my hair with a good book sipping on my favorite drink Dr. Pepper….Or any moment I can sit down and play with my cats. Blood pressure goes down, mood goes up and happiness in the world returns! :)
Frankly, ten minutes alone, with a cup of tea is luxurious in my world. And manageable. :)
I like to read a book or magazine in a hot bath, then slip into freshly cleaned sheets while a candle burns. I have “liked” your Facebook page as well.

My favorite way to unwind is to put headphones on and go for a run through the beautiful old cemetery near my house. It’s always so refreshing. I also like cozying up on the sofa with a blanket, a giant stack of magazines and a glass of wine.
Oh my gosh, this prize is so utterly dreamburgers. Am hoping randomness works in my favour.
Am also already a fan of Honey Kennedy on Facebook.
How I like to relax: there are some really good (but also some terrrrrible) yoga videos on YouTube that I love to do when I have the time to relax, especially first thing in the morning or just before bed – the routines that you can actually do on your bed are my very favourite. Let me know if you need any recommendations!
I also like you on FB. :)
A massage is my ultimate relaxation activity.
I also like your FB page.
I like to pamper myself by going to a loud rock and roll show, dancing my heart out, and then coming home and washing the bar smell out of my hair in a hot bath while reading experimental language poetry from the mid-twentieth century. As I type this, I realize I am becoming a quirky spinster professor faster than I thought.
Like you long time. <3

my favorite way to unwind is red wine + parks and recreation!
Listening to the White album by The Beatles, it’s the record I would request every Saturday morning during clean-up/craft sessions. I have so many fun and silly memories tied to those songs-they instantly give me the warmfuzzies.

p.s., lovely giveaway!
not the most exciting, but i feel like the ritual of unwinding and relaxing is exactly the antithesis of exciting – tea and cookies. depending on the day, it might be a flavored black tea or my usual go-to of genmaicha, but almost always there’s a sweet delectable involved alongside my tea, and a little furry companion in my lap.

My favorite way to unwind is thrift shopping. Many thanks to you and all of your lovely sponsors for offering such generous giveaways.

My favorite way to wind down is grabbing a glass of wine and sitting down to read a book. My cat should be near me too. Always comforting with my kitty nearby.
love escaping into a book to unwind! and doing my nails.
I ideal unwinding treat would be to have a friend over to give me a massage, then hunker down under a blanket with a kitty in the knee crook, a glass of wine and a totally guilty pleasure romance novel in my hand:) I am a friend on FB too:)
Sleep! (I work really early mornings)

What a great giveaway! My favourite way to unwind is to either listen to, or play music – I find a good strum on the guitar very soothing. Also, sitting in a lovely sunny spot with a good book and a yummy snack!
Ever since having my daughter two years ago, my favorite way to unwind is to get a manicure and pedicure. Pre-baby this was a bit of an indulgence, but now it is even more of a treat. Getting an hour to an hour and a half of quiet time and having someone pay attention of my oft-neglected fingers and toes takes the cake in my book. I’ll usually bring a magazine along (another one of my favorite ways to unwind) but it usually just stays in my lap as I doze off during the foot massage.
I liked you on Facebook, and am in LOVE with this prize set. A collection of a few of my favorite things (ban.do, Twigs & Honey) and some of my new favorite things (I just looked at Made by Hank’s website and I am nuts over their zippered pouches).
My favorite way to unwind is by listening to French music. I took French in high school but remember none of it. So I like listening to Edith paif and Carla bruni to just enjoy the sound of their voices and stop over thinking. Also having a glass of wine, I’m a big wino. :)
Also I am now a liker on Facebook! I like what I see and fingers crossed the win these amazing beautiful prizes… So many lovely things!
I love to cuddle up with cozy blanket and my kitten to watch a great movie (Breakfast at Tiffany’s is always a great choice!).
One of my favorite ways to unwind is by visiting my old home in the mountains to spend time with my pug and family..I like to walk around the village while sipping a caramel earl grey latte and go back home to cuddle with my pug and relax in nature <3.
I love to go to our local resort & relax in the steam cave. Or for at home relaxation a nice hot bath…..
my favorite way to unwind? pour a glass of wine, turn on some nina simone, and paint my nails. it always helps me feel relaxed and totally soothed.
lovely items! thanks for the opportunity to win!

A glass of Pinot Grigio and Etsy browsing always do the trick!

Taking a bubble bath!

I love getting a latte, a stack of magazines and then lounge around, preferably under a cozy quilt.
My ultimate luxury to relax and spoil myself is riding my horse. The rest of the world disappears the second I see his big loving eyes.
To unwind, I like to wrap myself in a thick wool blanket and watch Agatha Christie murder mysteries.
To unwind, I like to gather my current stack of unread magazines (Sunset, Real Simple, etc.) and sit on the couch with a glass of wine.

I always give myself a pedicure and use it as an excuse to watch a girly movie and relax for a few hours.
My favourite way to unwind is to simply go for a walk outside and clear my head with the fresh air. Afterwards, when I return home I like to run a hot bath complete with a cup of Earl Grey tea and a good book. I would absolutely love to win!!
To relax, I love to take my dog to the dog beach, or dog park. Watching that little animal be so excited and blissfully happy, makes me happy in return and is a great way to relax. I also like to take naps on the weekend with my pup and his 2 feline siblings! I know, I know – I’m a crazy pet lady. :)

Holy Moly what a wonderful selection! Above all, my favorite way to relax is to take a drive through the Coastal Range and find a tucked away little camp spot, preferably by a creek, with my sweetie. An afternoon of cold wet toes and books outside, an evening of wood smoke and good bourbon and a sleep full of starry dreams and spooky sounds, has me refreshed for weeks on end. Sigh, only 5 more months before camping season!
A bath with essential oils, a cup of green tea, and my cat occasionally getting confused about whether or not she likes baths. ps already liked on fb!

Video games. Hands down. Easy. Even if it’s a super spooky game like BioShock (hint: do not play BioShock in the dark. The opposite of relaxation will occur), I still feel like I’m getting huge pamper time in.
I follow you on Facebook already (of course). :)
I love taking a nice warm bubble bath, but there has to be lots and lots of bubbles. There is just something about being in a tub that reminds me of being young. Plus you can’t bring any electronics in the tub so you are forced to just be with yourself and breath. I prefer it with no music and just the sound of of water filling up the tub is so relaxing.
Liked on FB – Check!
Downton Abbey + fresh coffee + nail art. Best combo.

I love to unwind with a long bath with lavender salts and a dreamy candle. My favorite right now is tatine tisane’s Holland Park. Hmm, I might need to do that today…

My unwinding rituals truly vary – sometimes it’s just a cup of strong black coffee in total silence, or a romantic film under a warm blanket and a pack of gummy candy :) At other occasions, it’s a crazed, teenage-like dance in front of the mirror. My favorite moments with myself are usually a hot bath, candles, dreamy music, the smell of lavender, a glass of wine and the latest edition of ELLE magazine :-) And I’ve been your facebook fan for a while now…
Whoa what a super sweet giveaway, Jen! I have a bunch of ways to relax because I am essentially a cat in a human body. One of my favorite ways to relax is to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with toast in the afternoon, followed by a few chapters of a good book (or a cookbook, which I’m kind of into reading right now) while lying horizontal on the sofa or bed. And I’ll also say that just closing my eyes and breathing slowly for a few moments, to block out the world, helps me when I’m out and about feeling overwhelmed.
I love to pamper myself with a glass of Champagne, a full redo of finger and toenails and a great dramatic movie. All in my underwear.
mud mask on my face with chamomile tea.. and sweets like chocolate perhaps. then rich honey scented body butter all over me for extra moisture.. and I fall asleep happily with warmed up lavender pouch next to me. :) ahh i must do it right now. i already liked you on facebook!
Nice stuff! One of my favourite ways to unwind is to lay about listening to podcasts, the bonus is that I even learn! This American Life, Radiolab, Planet Money there are so many.
i snuggle up with my husband and dog on the couch and catch up on modern family.
One word…..wine :)
To unwind I watch a movie from my (large) collection of favorites. Most recently it was “To Have or Have Not” with Bacall and Bogie.
I unwind sat the end of the day by taking my dog for a long walk, while listening to comedy podcasts. Sometimes my husband comes and we unwind together. A cup of tea in the evenings or a glass of wine with friends restores my spirit and creativity. I would absolutely love to share some of these gifts with friends, and show them how much I care. What a lovely collection of gifts.
I unwind with my feet up on the couch and my two pugs curled up next to me.

I unwind by frolicking in nature, smelling the flowers and feeling the fresh air upon my skin and savoring the moment, either by driving to the country side or laying by the seaside.
I love to relax by lighting some candles & drinking cocoa while reading a book :]
I love to give myself a facial and look at my vintage collection!
thank you for hosting a beautiful giveaway !
Wow! What a wonderfully curated gift.
It’s quite typical, but there’s nothing like like brewing some tea and losing myself in the pages of a good book.
Oh my stars. I love dipping myself in warm water, forest hikes, fireplace coziness and a massage, hopefully all in the same afternoon. Liked on fb.
My favorite way to unwind is to burn some incense and do an hour of yoga in my “chill space” aka my spare bedroom. Nothing clears my head and puts a smile on my face like some good ol yoga time.

I love to just take the time to take a bath instead of a shower. It’s nice to soak and close my eyes.

I think we should unwind every day- with a book, or bath, or a little bit of cookie dough, or just taking a little extra time walking home.

Oh what a generous soul you are this Christmas season! My favorite way to relax is to take my two little girls to the beach and just walk. They explore and play as we go, I enjoy the sunshine and their happy faces.

You have the best giveaways ever!
My favorite way to unwind is to go to the woods by myself, either to walk if I want to think, or go mountain biking to completely clear my head and not think at all (except about the track before me). I find that to completely unwind, I have to be somewhere I can’t do or won’t be tempted to do anything else. That also means: no camera or phone, just me and the woods.
Drinking many cups of tea and eating cake.
Open a beer and give my dog a hug

I know it’s a bit cliche but I can’t think of anything better than a bath (especially in the winter). I use several big handfuls of epsom salts plus an Avobath bomb from Lush, perch my laptop on a stool next to the tub and while soaking watch whatever guilty pleasure TV show I’m into at the moment (currently I’m catching up on Saxondale).

I love having a lie-in with my darling fiancé, especially this time of year, warming my toes on his legs, making oodles of tea and a huge bacon sandwich and taking it back to bed. Listening to the radio, reading the newspapers, snuggling up under the covers. Because of our work schedules, this happens very rarely, but I treasure the times it does. Blissfully unwinding and pampering, because being truly relaxed and happy makes you glow.
My favorite way to unwind is with my new best friend; Fawn. I adopted Fawn from a horse rescue 4 months ago. I love grooming her, giving her carrots, saddling her up and going for a ride together. It’s blissful for the both of us. <3 (I liked the Honey Kennedy FB page) Thx!

Waking up early in the morning, turning on my music player and when quiet music in French starts playing, I take all my neatly organized brushes out of my wooden box, some sheets of white paper for water coloring and I let the magic begin..Through every stroke of my brush, I feel empowered, I feel alive. As the music gets more and more awakening, I feel more beautiful as I seem to swing in my dreamy land. Feeling spiritually free and ionspired is my best way of feeling pampered. I get to experience that power within me that keeps me glowing, it keeps me feminine and romantic. My eyes shine brighter, my hands feel softer, my heart beats faster. I feel beautiful when I create and it’s my gift from above..
I unwind with a very large plate of cookies, shamless reality t.v involving some housewive, socialite, jersey-ite, and a giant mug of sugar cookie tea. Or a lovely novel.
it’s like you found the prettest things on the internet and put them all in one place.
If I am treating myself big – I go to Burke Williams Spa. If the budget is tight, it’s doing my nails on my bed while I watch a very girly romantic comedy.

I have a few ways to unwind. I unwind my mind in the morning with a run and unwind my body at night by crawling into my cozy bed with a great book! A cup of tea, a cookie (or three), and a good book in my favorite chair in the middle of the afternoon is my Guilty Pleasure Unwind, but doesn’t happen very often.
And…Already LIKED on FB.
To unwind, I put on some Parks and Recreation and paint my nails!
To unwind, I like to take a bath (w/ a nice bath oil) while reading a good book.
Mmm…
I light a candle or two, turn on some music in the other room (something pleasant- not too dark or too upbeat), make something warm to drink, and then sit on the couch. I take in the light. This may sound funny, but I love to look at light. On a sunny day, depending on the time of day, it’s different shades of color and diffused depending on how thick the clouds are. At night, the shadows of random things in the room make beautiful textures on walls and tables.
I breathe deeply and think of things I’m thankful for. The simple appreciation of my senses (the sounds, tastes, and sights I experience with the ritual I mentioned already) usually helps me feel really blessed and relaxed.
My favorite thing right now is cat snuggles, candles, a cocktail and a good movie. Oh, and sweet and salty popcorn! :) (I also like you on Facebook and stuff.)
I pamper myself with dinner and drinks in bed – decadent and delightful!
watch tv serials nonstop to unwind! :)

I’ve been following you (unofficially) for more than a year by now and this time I decided it’s time to step out of the shadow :) What an amazing giveaway you are hosting! Love every bit of it!
As for pampering, what can be better than a purchase of lovely lingerie? Actually it’s not the only way I pamper myself, a candle, a cup of hot chocolate, a muffin or a doughnut from Krispy Kreme (oh yes, now we’ve got it in Istanbul) and a good old Agatha Christies Poirot series will make my evening :)
Book, blanket, couch, my dog, and The Wooden Sky playing on my record player :)

This may sound strange but I like to go get a manicure, then go for a tough hike (I live in Seattle). It’s like I am bringing a little bit of glamour to the wild. Then when I get home at the end of the day, I can luxuriate in a bubble bath to wash off all the mud.
Curling up with my laptop, a cup of tea and my puppy.
I love lighting candles and soaking in a lavender foam bath.

yoga, or cuddling with my cats!
it makes me happy just to consider this question! thanks for the chance at this most generous giveaway. best way to unwind, if time is not an issue: pack up for the weekend and head to a cabin in the wilds with friends and food. make fires, track moose, pick bouquets of fall vegetation, and dive in a freezing stream followed by a shower of fire-boiled water, rustic-spa style. if possible paddle on a lake or hike to the top of a mountain. definitely play exquisite corpse drawing games, and many rounds of euchre, by candlelight. round it out with a picnic in a sunny clearing, followed by an outdoor nap amidst the grasses. transformative!
My favorites are a bath at home or a trip to the sauna if I have a little extra money. This giveaway is so generous that I’d have some relaxing stocking stuffers for friends!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to win so much incredible loot!! I follow you on facebook (and insta, and twitter!) and am followers of many of the faces behind these wonderful gifts too, hence the reason it is all so exciting!
There are many classic ways that I enjoy taking time to unwind (baths, candles, records, play time with nieces and nephews and pets… Who wouldn’t enjoy that?!), however I have to say the most invigorating and enriching of all is this:
After a particularly long day (or even a particularly luscious one), there is no better way to relax than to drag my ancient picnic blanket into the back yard, glass of wine in hand (or perhaps a hot toddy, or a cup of tea), lie down with headphones in, and spend a good few minutes or hours (and sometimes whole nights) doing a bit of good old-fashioned stargazing. Do it with friends, do it with lovers, or do it alone. Mankind has stared in wonder at the stars since the beginning of time, and there is no better way to regain a sense of self and an appreciation for life than lying underneath the big ol’ night sky. (Though let’s face it, this works in the day time with clouds too… It’s the cliche that melts even the stoniest of hearts!) Rooftops of buildings, parks, and back yards… They were made for this!
I like to sit on the couch with a big blanket and a cup of tea, and watch an old movie that I have seen a hundred times, just to let my mind relax and veg out. It is awesome.
I either go to a yoga class or bake something that requires enough concentration to be distracting from thinking about anything else, but not so much as to be stressful.
a bath
I love this whole collection and have been eying the cat nap pillows myself. I’m in the middle of renovating an old wreck of a house, so I’ve given in to the chaos and have gotten out of the routine of unwinding and pampering! But when I do, I like to fire up a smelly candle, listen to music and sketch.
I already like HoneyKennedy on Facebook :)
Love to light some candles, put on a record and read magazines in elastic pants… ahhh! And let the pups up on the couch :)
I love to pamper myself with chocolate!
I find that the best way to relax is to bake something, especially if the weather is less than pleasant outside! Thanks so much for this lovely giveaway!

Sounds funny, but my favorite way to unwind is to spend the day cleaning the house with my BF! Because we rarely get days off at the same time, it feels like a bonding experience to be working together toward a common goal and having fun at the same time. We crank the music and dance around with the cats and have a blast!
Loving you for days xo

my favourite way to unwind in the fall/winter is in a hot, candlelit bath with a glass of red and jazz playing in the background. in the summer, i love relaxing outside after a long day with a cold beer together with my husband, simply being in each other’s presence and listening to the sounds into the night, and if we’re lucky, in front of a campfire. and when i really need pampering or to uplift my spirits, there is nothing like fancy lingerie (Fortnight is my favourite!) or delicate silk garments.
thank you so much, jen. warmest wishes to you & yours for a wonderful holiday season!
