Part of self-care is knowing when to escape this crazy crazy world, and when you can't get out to the country or have a change of scenery, watching a film is a great way to escape even for a little while. So, chill, sit back, get comfy and enjoy!. Me and Gina have included our favourites which we still re-watch - cos that's what you do wtih classics, right? Watch them over n' over cos they're so good!
Though we strongly believe in facing facts, conquering fears and meditating regularly for mental well being. But there are times where you feel so rough that all you should do is cuddle up with a hot water bottle and escape into a decent film or binge-worthy series. Especially while fasting, when time can feel like its standing still! We created this list specially for these times :)
If your more in the mood for a quality, chilled, nature-based documentary - we hear you! You can't beat a good David Attenborough doc - see our list of fav nature docs here.
