UNLIKELY ACTIVITIES THAT CAN MAKE

U

RELAX

A R T I C L E B Y D O M I N I Q U E G O O D I N G
Some of us know the holidays can be stressful especially when you are the only one running around getting things done for your love ones before Christmas or New Year ' s Day.
Foodlagniappe is here to share with you two unlikely things that can help you relax during the holiday and won ' t break your piggy bank either.
First activity might be a shock to hear but coloring can be relaxing. At this time, I suggest that you go and ask your child for their crayons, color pencils, pens or markers to use for this activity. Yes, " We are telling you to go color."
No, we haven ' t lose our marbles because a well known renowned psychologist Carl Jung had his patients coloring mandalas 100 years ago as a tool for relaxation and self-discovery.
Maybe this is a good time to explain how coloring and the second activity can help you relax during the holidays.
Do you remember the time you were running around town shopping for your groceries and grab a bottle of wine for your holiday dinner. If, yes second activity is no-brainer. Drinking a glass of wine and coloring at the same time can be relaxing.
You probably wasn ' t aware of their benefits like coloring is good for the mind and wine is good for the body. When you combine the two and you get twice as much relaxation and half as much stress and anxiety, which is good for our minds and bodies. The heart and lungs benefit from drinking wine. It also lowers the risk of cataracts, diabetes, and cancer, make the bones stronger, and increases brain function.
Foodlagniappe is excite to incorporate these unlikely activities into their virtual wine tasting events.
The purpose of hosting a platform of this nature is to bring like minded people to together that wish to interact with one another, invite special guests to talk with us about the pivot part of working in the art, fashion, food and wine industry.
Our goal is to entertain the audience with giveaways, vote for their favorite wine or food, contest, access to post their GNO photos etc. At the end of each virtual wine tasting, it ' s essential that our audience leave the event with more information about wine tasting, arts, fashion, food and wine,.
