How do you relax after work? Do you like to stretch out on your couch and watch television, or do you like to hang out with your friends? There are many different ways people chill out.

To chill out means to relax. Most people have Saturday and Sunday to chill out, rest from a busy week at work, and remove stress from their lives. To chill out also means to stay calm in a stressful situation. For example, if something goes wrong at work, it is important to keep your emotions steady and calm. If you chill out in a crazy situation, you can think better and solve problems faster!

Singer Miley Cyrus takes a break from her busy schedule on Sundays. She chills out and relaxes.

Okey, okey, Anja keep everything on the go :)


We all are in all ears to hear at first authentic happenings and sometimes humorous unreal fantasies just to add some “sugar” to our playground ;)

Lesya, I had to stop doing everything what I was doing and come here to comment.
Here’s what happened: “What are you doing?”
I answered” Just chillin’ for a moment, reading a comment”
” Your face lit up, so what is it you’re reading?”
” Just have a look”, I said while turning my ipad towards him
“That’s really a nice thing to say, ” squeezing arms and he walked away.
He murmured she’s right, you know!
Thanks so much for making my soul jump, Lesya! Thanks for shinning your light here… again :)
Big grateful hugs to you, girl XOXO

Anja, my God!!! How stylish you are!!! Your glasses….. mmmm I am speechless. They suit you perfectly! Your hairstyle. No comments but only delight. :)


To say “I love cross stitching” is to say nothing :D I addicted to this craft with all my existence.  Technology and gadgets became boring to me since the day I started stitching :)  Moreover, I am a member of a group of people who are crazy with stitching like I am. We all together inspire each other non stop and our ideas and projects will never end.


Anja, I found my happiness apart of technology :)

Lesya, it’s probaply a primal thing. No matter how technological humankind will get…peeps with similar likes just find a spot to hang out, right?


Love to see what a woman of contrast you are. One of the most tech savviest women I know, loves to do cross stitching :))

At the moment, right now I chill out seeing my good long lasting eBaby  friends gathering together. It is the most precious view to see our playground vivid again. I missed it a lot. 


Only together we have a power to entertain each other, to chill out of everything.


Since the last year I enjoy my new found hobby (cross stitching). I chill out with my hobby everyday after I came back from work . It has an amazing effect on me. I forget about everything and fly away in my fantasy  with thread and needle. :) 


I draw by thread and I enjoy it.


My hobby is my meditation :)

Dear Anja, as the saying goes ” no sweat no gain” Traduttore Traditore” Translator-Traitor, I  knew that when i  got into this task i would be swimming in rough waters. Nonetheless, some of my friends are very appreciative of my translations , and that is what matters . It makes me happy that at least all the money that i have spent on english lessons are bearing fruit in a good work. :)))

Different kind of crafts chills me out. Especially knitting. A glass of wine with a good thriller movie will do a good job too.

Julito, I hope you don’t get lost in translation :))


All jokes aside, I never saw in you an artist. Translation is hard and a very time consuming task. The fact that you see in it a form of relaxation sounds so fancy ;)

 On fridays I have had enough of the daily grind , so i am waiting for the blessed weekend to chill out with my friends and families. Internet is also a route escape from the” world´s woes” , as rightly Buttafly has wrote down in her post. I am also doing translations of a book from english to spanish , and this intelectual work- little by little- is  enhancing  my ability in the comprehension of both languages.

I really like chill out talking with friends taking a coffe in afternoon watching a good soccer game and sometimes I spend my time reading books and studying english by e.baby.

During the week, when everything that has to be done, is done, I definitely like to curl up in bed, ipad on my lap, pillow tucked behind my back, a good cup of tea on the nightstand – yep, for me the perfect setting to chill out while watching ‘Family Feud’ with Steve Harvey. His side gags are just hilarious! Not that I’m a fan of game shows – yet for me a nice way to keep my mind off the world’s woes. After all I rather enter the land of slumber with a smile on my lips than a sad or grim face :)
