Tips for Relaxation, Renewal and Rewards

It's no surprise that during the hectic day-to-day, time to unwind is hard to find. Many times relaxing moments are accompanied by a good cup of coffee. So you might say NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® has extensive experience with the art of relaxation! Here, we offer some creative solutions on how to relax, renew and reward yourself.

Relaxation

• Turn a crazy commute into a command performance -- with soothing, melodic music. Pop in a favorite CD and sing along to promote a less stressful drive.
• Same goes if you take public transportation, only you might want to skip the "sing along" part!
• End a hectic day with a cup of NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® in a special cup dedicated to your evening retreat. Take a moment to breathe deeply and enjoy the tempting aroma.
• Lose yourself in a good book.
• Day dream about your next vacation before going to sleep.
• Make an appointment for some well-deserved pampering at a local day spa. Have a relaxing massage or try a rejuvenating aromatherapy steam bath.
• Invite a friend to share in the sweet indulgence and catch up on old times over a manicure or pedicure.

Renewal

• Meditate. Sit in stillness on the floor with closed eyes, freeing the mind to escape and drift calmly into a state of relaxation. Sweet moments of silence can help reset a day and provide clarity when dealing with difficult situations or pent up stress.
• Soak in a luxurious bath to relax your tired muscles. Men who are not apt to soak in a sudsy tub, try a steaming shower with scented soap-soothing lavender or invigorating peppermint.
• Renew your mind by washing away the week's stress with the sounds of water and escape with a good book or calming music.
• Make spending time with friends a regular part of your routine. Bonding with friends and sharing experiences can be the best way to find balance and renewal in your week.

Reward

• Treat yourself to a little luxury at least once a week. It won't break the bank and you deserve it.
• Try a new nail polish, lipstick or sexy fragrance.
• Buy a new fashion, home décor, car, tech or cooking magazine.
• Get a neck and back massage
• Put on some fuzzy slippers to relax
• Buy a new book or CD
• Pick up some fresh flowers to brighten your home or office
• Allow yourself to do absolutely nothing for one full day
• Go see a blockbuster hit in the theater

Your time to relax starts now. No pressure! Brew a cup of NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® and plan your escape.
