Creativity Tip No. 36

Some tiny indulgences while on vacation, gathered by a friend of mine:

·        a small vase of mint in the bathroom (buy mint in the produce section)

·        slice up a lemon or lime and keep it in the fridge for your ice water, food

·        real half and half for your coffee. Really.

·        cocoa butter for your hands

·        a special CD for a relaxation “trip.” This could be anything from spa “New Age” music to Ella Fitzgerald to Gregorian chant. When you are stressing out, put it on SIT DOWN and close your eyes for 15 minutes or five songs. (a sleep mask helps to keep your eyes closed)
