Juggling a full time job, a blog and being a freelance writer can be stressful. That’s why I always make sure to schedule a little “me time” throughout the week. It’s vital, no matter what your job is, to always take a little break once in a while. Because if you don’t, you’re going to be burned out and moody. And trust me, no one wants wants that. For me, something that always relaxes me after a long day at work or a long day of writing/editing is watching a movie. A romantic comedy, an action flick, a scary movie, there’s just something relaxing about cuddling with my pup Loki and watching different films. It’s like a mini two-hour escape from reality.
I also enjoy unlocking my inner gamer after a super hard day at the office. My favorite types of games have always been simulation games and racing games! Whether I’m watching one of my favorite films or playing a racing video game, there’s always one extra thing I need: a remote control!
Thank goodness Duracell Optimum Batteries have my back!

Whenever I have a game night, I play video games for hours. No seriously, I’m talking HOURS! So I need a battery that delivers extra life* in some devices or extra power* in other devices, vs. Coppertop AA/AAA batteries. Enter Duracell Optimum batteries! Duracell Optimum batteries allow me to play all my favorite video games for hours.
Here are a few tips for unleashing your inner gamer:
- Pick a “fun” game. If you had a stressful game a work, you don’t want to pick a game that’s going to also stress you out. Take it easy. Choose a game that’s relaxing and fun!
- The more the merrier. A lot of video game systems allow you to play online either against your friends or other players around the globe.
- Make an event out of it. Don’t have the option to play on the web? Invite your pals over and have game night!
- Make sure your controller is up to the task. Nothing’s worst than being in the middle of an intense game and having your controller die before you hit that high score even with long-lasting Duracell Coppertop! Grab your Duracell Optimum batteries and make sure your controller stays powered even longer!

One of my favorite features of the Duracell Optimum batteries is the fact that they come in reusable packaging. Since my controller only needs two batteries, I can easily store the remaining two batteries in the packaging until they’re needed!

And I definitely need my Duracell Optimum batteries for my weekly movie marathon nights! After a particularly long day at work, nothing relaxes me more than popping in one of my favorite feel good DVDs.
Here are a few of my favorite tips for throwing an impromptu movie night:
- Bring on the snacks. What’s a movie night without popcorn?
- Skip the intense stuff. If I’ve had a hard day a work, the last thing I want to do is come home and watch a heartbreaking documentary about how elephants are going extinct. I always make sure to pop in something cheerful, something that ends with a happily after ever or a cheesy ending.
- Get cozy. My movie nights consist of cuddling with my pup, Loki, while wearing my fuzziest socks and favorite PJs.
- Use your resources. I have a smart TV and a Blu-Ray player, so I often switch between watching my favorite DVDs/Blu-Rays, using the streaming services on my TV, or watching movies on cable. With Duracell Optimum batteries, I know my remote control can handle all the back and forth between devices.
