How to Organize a Stress-Free Vacation
Who doesn’t like hanging out by the pool or on a beach, with an ice cream and a cold drink while trying to catch some sun? Vacations are meant to help us relax after we’ve spent weeks and months stressing over work, but it isn’t always that easy to flip that ‘stress switch’ to ‘off’ position. Organizing a perfectly peaceful time-off sounds like a dream, but it also means that you have to put in some work. On the other hand, if you make a bit of effort before you get on the plane, you will be able to enjoy a perfect, stress-free vacation.…

Normally if I'm going to go for a walk I'll only take Pixie with me and leave my roommate's dog behind. But she recently got us a double lease so we can hook both dogs together.

Sometimes you just really need a vacation and I definitely was at that point, so I have taken the next week off from my full-time job. And part of the vacation is to catch up on things that have been pushed aside like getting my hair cut, which has been over do for a year. And the other part is to just go explore Minnesota. I've lived here all of my life, but I have hardly seen any of this state other than the Twin Cities and Duluth.
