Even if you’re not “back to school” with a child the feeling is in the air. If you’re a millennial you may be nostalgic for the smell of Office Depot - ink and new paper - walking the aisles under the fluorescent lights, the thrill of a new spiral notebook. 

As a new routine sets in, here is a checklist to keep you sane. 

The 3-Step Reset

1.  Book the treatment - the one that has you feeling refreshed: pedi, massage, facial - whatever it is, do it.  

2. Make a plan to stay nourished - stock your car with snacks for you too (bonus if it’s Mamala Support Snacks™. Research shows routine creates the structure that makes happiness-supporting behaviors automatic; novelty inside that structure appears to lift daily mood. Let Mamala be your novel treat that gives you more than pleasure, it nourishes.

3. Be prepared (singing this in the tune of The Lion King, iykyk) - assemble a car necessity bag (mine is from Puiu Mamei) for YOU - a tweezer (car has the best lighting for rogue hairs), hand sanitizer, sunscreen, a great wipe, hand lotion, deodorant, mints - all for an immediate pick-me-up! 

Never be without a nosh. 

Nosh Well,
