BEING BEAUTIFULLY CHILL
Perhaps the most beautiful vacation is the one you take today…
No matter where you are, no matter what you are in the middle of, if you can grab even a few precious moments of relaxation, you can experience the beauty of vacations any day and every day.
Whether life is hard or busy at the moment, or whether you are lucky enough to have the time and space for a long escape, you can tap into a getaway.
If you have a chill mindset, you can take a mind trip -- meditate (we’re grooving on the Calm app) or dream. Or maybe it’s just a breath of fresh air that is enough to whisk you away.
We’ve gathered some inspiration from from Christian Louboutin, Elon Musk, Barbara Kingsolver, Ovid, and more
