The holidays are full of joy and love, but let’s be real — it can sometimes feel like a frenzy finding the right time and the best ways to connect with the ones we care about most. What’s more, setting aside those special moments for ourselves can sometimes feel just as hectic when trying to squeeze them in amid the holiday festivities. But in this not-so-traditional 2020 holiday season, our #AerieREAL Ambassadors have just the self-care rituals to inspire us all to decompress.
We recently caught up with a few of our Ambassadors to ask them: what are your self-care rituals during the holidays? Check out the creative and relaxing activities they shared with us in the video and quotes below, then get motivated to try your own self-care practices as you celebrate the season.
