I’ve been thinking a lot about wellness lately and how it seems like a state of overall wellness is something that we’re all constantly trying to achieve or to improve upon. I will always click on an article or listen to a podcast relating to the subject of wellness. And I know I’m not the only one perpetually trying my hand at new skin care products, fitness routines or healthier recipes. These all seem to be evergreen topics in our society. Is that because true wellness is some unattainable myth? Or, because wellness really is something that’s ongoing, for which we’ll never reach an ultimate finish line?
I would say it’s the latter. I can’t think of much else in life that never gets old. And how cool is it that the thing that we don’t get sick of, and are eternally interested in, is ultimately just bettering ourselves?
It’s one of the reasons why I love this edition so much—and why I hope you will, too. Think you’ve actually got this whole wellness thing mastered? A wellness retreat takes wellness to a new level. Turn to pg. 36 to find out what one entails (think quiet rooms, detoxification, unplugging, salt caves, float therapy, etc.) and where to find a spot near you. In these pages, we also explore the sober-curious lifestyle, pg. 23, mom anxiety, pg. 29, a new all-natural skin care shop in Nazareth, pg. 20, and—something we all now know is a very important aspect of leading a healthy, full life (thanks, 2020)—socializing! Turn to pg. 44 for our guide to meeting people in the Lehigh Valley.
