Morning, friends! This weekend has so far been my absolute favorite kind: tons of sunshine, brunch with my sister, reading new books, making dinner on the grill, and yes — we actually spent a few hours in the pool yesterday (in February!) Crazy, I know. Work has felt incredibly busy lately between a really full shooting schedule, plus being in the middle of our studio renovation (among other big projects we’re working on), and I’ve been craving some time to ditch work and fully relax. Sure a getaway somewhere would be great, but it’s amazing how much better I feel after just a few hours of unplugging and resting at home! Do you guys have any strategies for getting vacation-level recharged without actually traveling anywhere? I’d love to hear your tips, and keep scrolling for my favorite links from around the web over the past week. xo

Paloma, Can you help me find the white dress the model is wearing in the My Domaine article linked to your post? I enjoy your posts so much! Love your attention to the whole person, not just the superficial. Thank you in advance for more insightful articles.

I fully agree – sometimes a stay-cation is much better and more relaxing than a vacation! My favorite way to unwind and recharge without actually travelling somewhere is going to the spa. All I need is 3 hours of sauna, hot tub and relaxing with a nice book and I feel like a new person! 🙂
I have been loving the new Viva Day Spa at the Domain! The post-massage benefits seem to last for weeks! Thanks for the link love 🙂 Hope your weekend was every bit as relaxing as you hoped!
I love taking a bath with a glass of wine while watching Netflix on the iPad. Getting to be alone and enjoy those things is one of my favorite things. I always feel like I could just float away afterward.
