Comedian and actress Chelsea Peretti is enjoying some well-earned time off in beautiful Italy. Peretti, 46, shared a reel with highlights of her trip, including a clip of the writer wearing white shorts and a tank top, lounging on a boat against a spectacular ocean landscape. "I think I 😍🥰 like this lil life☺️⚰️," she captioned the post, which Ali Wong responded to with the 🔥 emoji. Here's how Peretti manages stress and uses creativity as a method of wellness.

Peretti does yoga but admits she doesn't always feel like working out. "Forced myself to do yoga but I'm in a cardio slump also weights slump and healthy eating slump I LOVE PIE," she captioned a humorous post of herself posing in brightly-patterned yoga pants.
Love For David Chang

Peretti enjoys watching cooking shows. "I've been watching David Chang and Jose Andres cooking videos on Instagram. It is weird. I don't know why," she told W Magazine. "In these times, I keep mentioning David Chang so much that I actually accidentally called my friend Esther 'David Chang.' She was like, 'You're starting to lose it.' Someone showing you how to make something new when you're trapped and you miss going out and trying someone else's ideas is such a cool service that these chefs are sharing with us."
Home Baking

Peretti took up baking during the pandemic as a distraction. "For a lot of people, if you have groceries, cooking is definitely distracting," she told W Magazine. "I don't read the news if I'm cooking. That's been interesting. Obviously, making things I normally would never make depending on whatever's available because stores have had to scramble to know how to have anything. I've only made one lemon cake. I don't know why I was really deflated about it. It is really good."
Love For the Writers Room

Peretti loves collaborating with other writers. "I loved writers rooms. Have you ever taken a Myers-Briggs test?" she told The Hollywood Reporter. "All these things are flawed and probably wrong, but I was very much between thinking and feeling and between introvert and extrovert. Knowing that helped me a lot in understanding why I'm often torn about things. What I loved about writers rooms was that I was coming from stand-up, being a lone wolf, and rooms are so collaborative."
Therapeutic Creativity
Peretti finds creativity to be therapeutic. "I'm always creative in times of boredom and in times of even depression or anxiety because it's cathartic and it's a release," she told W Magazine. "So I've been doing my pseudo makeup tutorials. I always feel this way about makeup, but the ridiculousness of caring about how you look when you're not being social in any way…it just also feels cathartic to just deface yourself and feel like you're externalizing how you feel inside, which is strange and dark and unhinged."
