Now this is what I call relaxing.

Even though I wanted more than anything to stay in bed and keep sleeping this morning, I woke up feeling amazing. I had the best sleep that I've had in a while. My good mood continued on throughout my day as well. Work went by quickly and next thing I knew I was home ready for a night of relaxing. And thankfully time has slowed down now that I'm relaxing. Slowed down in a good way of course because it makes me feel like there are more hours in the day rather than less.

How am I spending my relaxing evening you might ask?

I've lit candles around my place to give off a cozy vibe. Plus it makes everything smell so pretty. One of my favorite scents is vanilla. I have so many candles around my house that my house always smells of vanilla and when they are lit it just amplifies.

I've decided that it's about time that I paint my nails as I haven't been putting enough time into maintaining them recently. I had originally chosen a darker blue but in the end I chose electric pink as my color of choice. I know that fall is coming but summer isn't over yet and I may as well wear the bright colors now. I haven't yet decided it I want to do my finger nails as well. I know the color will look great on them and it would be nice to actually have them painted but I hate having to sit and wait for them to dry. I usually end up smudging them before they're done.

My relaxing night wouldn't be as relaxing without a nice cup of tea. I am absolutely obsessed with teas. I have a cupboard full of teas and a desk drawer at work with even more. I probably own more than fifty different flavors of tea between the two places. I am currently drinking Forever Nuts. Not only does it smell heavenly but it tastes that way too! It's a blend of almond slices, apple bits, cinnamon bark, and beetroot. It's the beetroot that turns it that wonderful shade of pink. This was the first loose tea I'd ever tried and it was at my friend's house. I instantly fell in love and I've been addicted ever since.

Now no relaxing night could be complete without Dash close by. Even though he spends all day sleeping and laying around he would never pass up a chance to cuddle up next to me and watch TV. All and all my day was great from beginning to end.
