With kids out of school, summer vacations and just trying to organize everything, life can feel a bit hectic. Add on the insane amount of heat we’re experiencing and it can all be a little exhausting. But this week the editors are sharing their favorite ways to reset and recharge amongst the chaos!
“I like to take a walk through City Park. There’s plenty of beautiful blooms, historic oak trees, walking paths and good people watching. Plus, you can stop by Cafe Du Monde for a cafe au lait or iced coffee for a pick-me-up.” – Ashley McLellan, Editor New Orleans Magazine/New Orleans Homes
“I agree! Yoga in City Park is a great place to decompress outside.” – Reine Dugas, Editor Louisiana Life/Acadiana Profile
“Whenever I need to recharge I take a walk in Audubon Park and I instantly remember why I love New Orleans. You may run into a second line, women practicing their marching group routine or kids climbing the oaks. It’s just home to me.” – Andy Myer, Editor St. Charles Avenue/New Orleans Bride
“The beach, as often as I can. The ocean has always been my version of church.” – Kim Singletary, Editor Biz New Orleans
“If I want to be outside – which isn’t always – I like a pool moment (like at The Chloe or another fun pool around the city). If I want to be inside, I head over to the New Orleans Museum of Art! There is nothing better to get my creative juices flowing than taking in the sights at NOMA! … there’s also nothing wrong with a cocktail or two with friends at Bayou Wine Garden to reset my battery!” – Kelly Massicot, Digital Editor
