If you’re a city transplant like me, you crave what you lack but so deeply desire: the grass, the trees, the birds, and (hell) even the bees. A short, weekend road trip is just the cure—smells of damp mountain trees, sounds of leaves crunching beneath my Chacos, sights of mist trailing over the mountain scapes in the distance, and a fix of fresh morning air as the gentle steam flows from my coffee cup.

I’m looking forward to a great, relaxing weekend out of town—even if it’s just a short one—to the Catskill mountains of New York.

Any fun plans for the weekend? Not able to get out of town? Use this weekend to relax, refresh, and recover, wherever you are. Treat yourself to some “me” time: a self-facial, a home yoga session, or a low-stress movie with popcorn and a cozy blanket.

Starting now, allow yourself to unwind and reset. Have a great weekend!
