Destination:My Apartment
(*Home being Boston, Mass.)
You’ll be happy to know that this year I will not be knocking you over with my suitcase while you watch a bunch of teens perform a Holiday-themed “Show Time” on the A/C train. Nope! This year, I will be staying put in my apartment.
What spurred the break in tradition? I am a dog mom to a beautiful English Bulldog, Bowie, who should probably not fly (most brachycephalic dog breeds have been banned from flights) and at 25 pounds, exceeds the weight limit for a traveling pet on Amtrak.
So, he and I are going to snuggle up on my couch for a week straight. And while I can’t think of anything more low-key, I clicked “buy” on the below items in hopes of reaching peak relaxation mode.
Buy It!Rituals The Ritual of Yalda Bath Bombs, $21.50;rituals.com
Now that I finally have a bath tub big enough for a proper soak, I am hoping to get in on this bath bomb craze before the bubble bursts! This fizzy, antioxidant-rich pomegranate and watermelon-infused trio seems totally my speed.
Buy It!Eberjey Gisele Long Pajama Set, $120;neimanmarcus.com
I am not opposed to pajamas as outerwear, and this contrast trim set is so chic, my friends and I have worn the top (and honestly sometimes the bottoms, too) outside with a pair of cute shoes called it a day. So I have this earmarked for both lounging on my couch and any last-minute requests to go out in public.
Buy It!Dr. Jart+ Dermask Hand and Foot Hydrating Masks, $12 each;sephora.com
If you ask me what my favorite self-care activity is, it’s indulging in a mani/pedi. But ever since I tried these masks, I have found the DIY version equally as satisfying.
