THE FUSE

Ok, this is for the many of you who asked how we did our own “DIY wellness” retreat/weekend without staying at an expensive “wellness resort” with all the things built in. It was inspired by a trip that my best friends and I took to Canyon Ranch (and a very popular recent blog post), where we got a 90% off discount (thanks to my SIL, who worked there at the time). It was pretty different from any other girls’ trip… and totally life-changing. But the price tag would have been crazy high without the discount. So we took the same itinerary and tried to re-create it six months later at an Airbnb. It was awesome (not as strict, but so great). Now, admittedly, I feel silly writing this as it’s pretty obvious how to make healthy choices, but I’m a Virgo and my team told me to “be bossy about it,” so here we go (and I do have some solid ideas and tips based on my experience).
