Kick back..all the way.
Whoever said holidays were for partying hard, getting drunk, and nursing new hangovers every day couldn’t be more wrong! If vegging-out in front of the TV screen is all you want to do, then that’s really all you should do (for days in a row, too). With the screen on mute and your preferred music app set to ‘shuffle’, make sure to add these soothing melodies to your playlist.
