We asked our staff what wellness means to them. Here’s what they had to say.... “For me, wellness is synonymous with balance. But this doesn’t mean the standard, tilted at an equilibrium scale type of balance. Some weeks this means sacrificing some sleep and in turn lacking on the exercise front, eating and drinking whatever I want, healthy or not… and did I mention spending a pretty penny on it all. Some weeks, this means cooking all week, prepping the hearty meals, working out every day and getting enough beauty rest so I might just have enough confidence to walk New York Fashion Week. What wellness never means is pushing these “healthier” weeks to the point of obsession and harm. Maybe this is just my early 20s speaking, and I think I’ll bring more and more meaning to balance and wellness as I get older. But for now, I’m okay with it.” - Margarita Vinogradov “Wellness means feeling good in both your body and your mind. I don’t just want to survive, I want to thrive in life. Personally, this means fueling my body with whole foods and exercising to get some endorphins. My favorite things to do to treat myself are practicing yoga, watching movies with friends, and eating my favorite desserts. My goal is to have a full life and whatever I can do to make it better is what wellness means to me.” - Natasha Davis
Wha well mean to
“To me, wellness is doing things that make my mind, soul and body happy. Eating healthy, working out and being in nature makes me feel strong. Hanging out with friends and family, cuddling with my dogs, and traveling fill me with love and appreciation. Experiencing new things, taking interesting classes, and meeting unique people fill my mind with new perspectives and knowledge. All of these add happiness and motivation into my life.” - Sydney Rosmann
