The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate, showing a good range of words related to relaxation. Words like 'hustle and bustle' and 'unwind' demonstrate a good level of vocabulary. To improve, consider using more sophisticated synonyms for 'relax' and 'calm down' to showcase a wider lexical range.
