Did you know January is THE month for planning vacations? In fact, National Plan for Vacation Day is January 28. Where are you going this year? Have you thought about it? Americans are notorious for not using all of our vacation time. Only 28% of Americans max out their vacation days, according to a report by CNBC. I’m one of those Americans. It might be years before I take a real vacation. I’m kind of a workaholic. Maybe it’s a fear that I need to work and I don’t deserve vacation.

Maybe it’s my Gen X perception, but all this talk about “self care” just seems silly and selfish to me. It conjures up images of women in bathtubs drinking wine or spending way too much time and money on spa treatments deemed necessary by all those influencers on Instagram. It grants permission to be selfish and self indulgent and while everyone deserves to treat themselves in whatever way makes them happy, over-emphasizing self-indulgent behaviors under the positive guise of “self care” seems all kinds of wrong to me. I decided to take a look at what self care really means.
What’s new in November? Sweater weather, comfort food, boots and motivational art so you can rise & shine!
