    A combination of the following scents: pine trees, roses, coconut oil. I discovered this from a friend who does aromatherapy with essential oil. The reason? As a child, we had a pool outdoors in the mountains (pine trees), thus the coconut oil, and a rose garden on the border of the pool :glasses:

    There's a lot of things for me, the smell of rain which make me want to eat dirt
    Love lavander smell, salt lavender while taking a long hot shower, love to hear classical music specially on cloudy and rainey days, the change of color of the leaves in fall season make happy and relax, teas with rose water classical music and lavander oil burning make my day very relaxing lol

    Listening to loud, hard rock with the headphones on. Always makes me feel better, more calm and collected.

    Crocheting

    Baking (although that isn't something I've done much of lately--would just cause more stress with not wanting to eat it but still wanting to eat it....)

    Marilyn Manson music. Most find it either terrible or energizing, but I find it really relaxing.
    Everytime I have a test, I listen to a couple songs before hand and it calms me right down.
    It's like my meditation music. =P

    Yes haha! Drinking water/tea, music, photography, drawing, writing, bouncing my legs (<people always ask me if I'm on drugs when I do this LOL), the sight/sound of running water, showers...

    Chasing my dog around the house and barking back at her

    Smell of bread baking

    Obscenely early bike rides

    In high school I also used to play Metallica's Black album to fall asleep.
