EUROPE’S MOST EXCLUSIVE ESCAPES
While some people are out at the gym, others are busy hitting the hay, thanks to the latest relaxation trends. Bed-rotting is Gen Z’s favorite new form of cozy self-care, encouraging you to embrace your inner sloth and indulge in professional-level pillow time. Designed to banish burnout, this drowsy routine is about getting under the covers in luxurious pajamas to lounge the day away. But before you hurry to catch some z’s with this sleep-core strategy, ensure you know the safe way to stay in bed for hours. REST ASSURED Bed-rotting and other sleep-centric forms of stress reduction can work wonders on your energy and well-being. Small doses, like naps or snooze-free lounging, can help calm your body and mind down. In our busy lives, it can be easy to feel guilty about doing nothing, but that leads to burnout and fatigue. With this new focus on sleepy self-care, everyone from high-powered professionals to homework-heavy college students has a free pass to lounge in bed without feeling lazy. Just remember to limit your bed-rotting sessions so you don’t disrupt your sleep patterns or trigger your brain to associate bed with non-sleep activities like watching movies or playing games. How ‘Bed-Rotting’ Is Redefining Relaxation
ROT IN STYLE Enhancing your bed-rotting routine can turn your sleep-core activities into a dream come true. As you curl up in bed to spend hours snacking, scrolling through social media, or watching your favorite shows, be intentional. Set a timer for when it’s time to get up and try another relaxation technique like yoga or a walk. Create a cozy environment with soft pillows, warm blankets, and relaxing fragrances from a lovely scented candle. Consider wearing a facial mask or investing in new silk pajamas to enhance your comfort levels. Bed rotting is the guilt-free way to lounge your troubles away and wake up refreshed. So, if you dream of a self-care routine that’s as comfy as it is relaxing, slip into your jammies and rest up!
Carmen’s Carefree Cosmetic Change EYE SURGERY WITH EASE
“About three years ago, I noticed that my upper eyelids were drooping following cataract surgery, which my ophthalmologist cautioned could be a side effect of the procedure. Although the drooping didn’t affect my eyesight, it bothered me every time I looked in the mirror. One day, I decided it was time to make my eyes look better, and my ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Scott at Eye Plastic Associates. “Dr. Scott is a warm man who instantly made me feel at ease. Before long, I was scheduled for surgery. To be honest, I was scared to go through with it and almost changed my mind, but three friends of mine — who were also Dr. Scott’s patients and had undergone the surgery — reassured me that everything would go well. Once at the hospital, I closed my eyes and thought of positive things. “There was no need for me to worry. Since having the surgery last September, I couldn’t be happier with how my eyes look. I’m so happy I went through with it. Although I took a couple of Tylenol the evening after
surgery just to be on the safe side, I didn’t experience a moment of pain throughout the healing process. I followed Dr. Scott’s recommendations for taking care of myself, and I was out and about in public with greater confidence in about a week. “Dr. Scott is kind and friendly, and his staff are very nice. The staff at the hospital where I received the surgery were lovely as well. I recommend him to anyone who has droopy eyelids. I would also tell them not to be afraid of having surgery, as it is an easy process that will help them look better and feel more confident in their appearance.
“My friends were right — Dr. Scott is excellent!”
