Planning Your Solo Travel Reset
olo travel is a powerful tool for prioritizing your wellness. Here’s how:
- As you face and overcome challenges alone, you’ll build confidence in your ability to handle any situation.
- Alone time in any form can help alleviate stress and anxiety by promoting self-compassion. Research shows that time alone can center and ground you by calming high emotional states.
- Solo travel nurtures your sense of independence, which can provide peace and stability throughout life’s many seasons.

Does Coffee Have a Place in Your Wellness Routine?
Wondering how you can best incorporate coffee into your wellness routine? First off, start with the quality and acidity of the coffee. For people with gastrointestinal concerns, like acid reflux, heartburn, or IBS, this acidity can trigger uncomfortable symptoms.
Fabula is a standout brand with low-acid, small-batch, single-origin brews. With coffee that’s grown in shade at high elevations, Fabula keeps acid levels lower than conventional coffee. We also love that Fabula tests its coffee at independent laboratories to ensure it’s free of over 350 chemicals.

Creating a Mindful Home Spa Experience
A home spa can be highly individualized, but here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Light a few candles and draw up a warm bath. We love these clean bath salts and soaks from Credo Beauty (or check out this list of EWG-rated bubble baths).
- Turn on your favorite album or podcast while turning off your notifications. If possible, keep your phone and laptop in a drawer to curb any digital temptation.
- Gently cleanse your skin, then apply a nourishing face mask (we love a DIY face mask containing mashed avocado, banana, or pumpkin with manuka honey). Don’t hesitate to break out a hair mask if your locks could use a little TLC, too!
- Break out the body scrub while you relax in the bath.
- After washing away your face mask and patting your skin dry with a clean microfiber towel, massage your face with a jade roller (we love keeping our roller in the fridge for a rejuvenating boost).
- Hop into some ultra-soft loungewear and relax the night away. Our organic cotton wellnesswear is the ultimate compliment to a DIY spa day, with a silky-soft feel against your just-moisturized skin.
