Are you stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed? Fear not: there is good news!  We have some great suggestions for relaxing with some fun filled Fall activities.  Try one or several of these wonderful Fall activities and feel your stress melt away.  

For example, it’s always fun to invite friends over to make delicious Halloween treats, especially when continuing the fun with a scary movie marathon. If you are up for an even bigger crowd and are feeling more adventurous, a murder mystery party is also perfect at this time of year. However, perhaps you want something more low key and are feeling in an artsy mood. In this case, why not go with a friend to the local pumpkin patch and have a pumpkin carving contest? Don’t forget to roast the seeds for a delicious and healthy snack!

If you are looking to unwind with some physical activity, then a fall themed yoga workout may be your thing.  Wear an autumnal colored shirt with yoga pants and flavor your water with hints of Fall.  Just add fresh apples, cinnamon and cloves to your water to get that warm, refreshing October taste.  If you desire more strenuous exercise, go for an energizing hike with a friend in the beautiful mountains of Malibu State Park. The crackling of the fallen leaves beneath your feet and the smell of the wild flowers will fill your senses with autumn joy.

Oftentimes simplicity rules all, such as painting your nails a beautiful fall color. Invite a friend over and watch some DIY Fall nail polish ideas on YouTube.

If you would like to unwind on your own, curling up on the couch with some hot apple cider and a good book is always a good way to unwind.  Harry Potter is a great Fall read, and for those seeking a scare The Shining will certainly give you goosebumps!

Finally, for those who are overwhelmed by the thought of any of these ideas, I suggest you treat yourself to a candle lit bubble bath with any of the wonderful new Fall scented soaps from Bath and Body Works.  Relaxation is guaranteed!
