Kristen Bell Relaxes With Organization Photos And We So Relate

Stress can kill you, so it’s important to indulge in self care and relax on a regular basis. For some, that means meditating or taking a bath, but for relatable human Kristen Bell, it means scrolling through images of organized spaces.

The mid-century modern vanity and fascinating tub pop against the blue backdrop; the hues are perfectly complementary.
