8 WAYS
TO LIVE EVERY

DAY LIKE
YOU’RE
ON VACAY

Don’t! Hold onto that sunny feeling by
giving your summer staples a fashionable
chilly-temp makeover.
Layer a sweater over your sundress;
pull on tights and combat boots with your
cutoffs; rock a pretty, printed kimono with
a turtleneck and jeans. Keeping your favor-
ite pieces in rotation will help remind you
of all the fun times you rocked that item
during the summer months. Ahh, memories!

Destination: Good Vibes
Summer means travel and adventure—and
your desire to get out and do something
different doesn’t have to disappear just
because you’re at a desk M-F.
“Whether it’s a weekend camping trip
or an afternoon picnic in the park, going
on outings with your family and friends
is a great way to capture the essence of
summer fun,” explains Dr. Gregory Jantz,
founder of The Center in Seattle.
Can’t get out of town? Take a stay-
cation by visiting unique or historic spots
close by, checking out a concert or exhibit,
or dining at that fab new neighborhood
restaurant with Dad. Making time for new
experiences evokes the same feeling of
those easy-breezy days.
Here Comes the Sun
Bring summer into your bedroom by mak-
ing a collage out of your favorite magazine
pics, snapshots and postcards that remind
you of the season. “Visual representations
of summer fun can help extend feelings of
relaxation and calm throughout the entire
school year,” says Hopkins.
Even setting your lock screen wallpaper
to that cute snap of you lounging on the
beach can transport you far away for a few
seconds—and leave you feeling suddenly
refreshed. So stick a bulletin board above
your desk and load it up with tons of
photos to focus on when you’re stressed.
Feeling better yet? We thought so.
