What do you do to boost up your mood?

[Neeliay]

Is there something specific you do to make yourself feel better? Maybe a place or something you wear? Curious to know!

I listen to some good music with some headphones in and just relax. Stress can easily become overwhelming so I regularly try to reset my mind.

I have a playlist called "Peppy" and it's all my favorite happy songs.  I usually put it on either go for a nice walk or dance around a bit.  A nice glass of something tasty (might a suggest a malbec?) and a happy movie also help!  I suggest 'Clue' or 'Mean Girls' depending on your mood 😄

I take a hot bath, put on a face mask, and drink a cup of coffee while enjoying one of my hobbies. (Drawing,painting, or a good video game) Sometimes after a really bad day I'll throw on some make up and nice cloths.

Fragrance! Juliette Has A Gun 'Not A Perfume' is my current favorite. Elevates my whole day!

Go on shopping haul to Sephora. 😂 Unwrap all my new goodies when I get home and watch a "chick flick"

I spray a bit of perfume to perk my mood up!

Light a candle put on a face mask and watch a Matt Damon movie.

[Neeliay]

Nice! I love watching comedies when I'm bummed out!

I like to put on perfume to give myself an instant smile. I often tell my husband that my perfume collection is basically aromatherapy 😇

[heartsmyface]

Oh I completely agree! It really doesn't matter which scent it is either. Just the act of spritzing and knowing I smell divine is pleasure inducing.

Wine. 

If I can't have wine, lavender is fine.

You sound like you know some stuff about wine. Do you have a favorite region? Santa Lúcia Highlands is an area my husband & I enjoy. I have been wanting to get my husband into Oregon Pinots.

[alexasteph]

@Makeup4MePls Yes, definitely Oregon Pinots! Red and whites. I live in the Oregon Willamette Valley and think we have the best wines in the WORLD (yeah... Kind of a snob, I know haha). Unfortunately it's really hard to find Oregon wines outside of this region, since California has cornered the market with Washington picking up some of it. We're super local about everything in Oregon, so we tend to grow, produce, and keep it here. Anytime I'm out of the state or out of the country I look for Oregon wines but haven't found it. 

White wines out of the South of France are nice, and Argentinian reds are probably my second favorites if I can't get Oregon wine. 

[Makeup4MePls]

What is your favorite wine 🍷?

[alexasteph]

@Makeup4MePls Pinot Noir. It's actually a good one to drink if you're looking for an alcohol that won't pack on the pounds and provide some added benefits. The antioxidants and chemicals in that specific grape are heart healthy and can help flush excess fat from your body. If you're staying away from carbs and sugar, it has very few so it won't throw off any diet plans you're following. Nothing wrong with a glass a day! 

[MissPuff]

Ha, this is me 🙂 Except if I can't have wine, then whiskey is fine 🙂

[jram0]

personally music picks me up

[heartsmyface]

Showers. They tend to wash away my bad moods. Vitamin B and D are mood boosters I gravitate to@as well. Hot tubs with a glass of wine. Walking in the sunshine...

[Neeliay]

Nice! I had no idea those were mood boosters @heartsmyface Thanks for sharing!

[Mcakes]

I'm really enjoying reading what y'all do to boost your mood ❤ Such a great thread idea @Neeliay! 

It's hard to get out of your own head sometimes but here are a few things I like to do to try:

-Snuggle my fur babies

-Stress shop

-Light some incense and meditate with my crystals

-Go on a nice long walk in nature

-Drag the gals out for a night on the town 

-Remind myself of all the positive things going on
