Style Magazine - January 2021
I’ll never look at the number “2020” the same again. What once was the name of my favorite Friday night show (“This is 20/20…”) will forever be associated with the year face masks became a must-have accessory, parties were avoided like the plague, and weekends became wide open. Certainly, I’m not alone in these sentiments either. The events of 2020 were trying and unlike anything any of us—even my 100-year-old grandma—have ever experienced. On the bright side, it’s the hard times, hard years, that force us to press pause and often where the greatest lessons are learned. When all is said and done, we will (hopefully) emerge from this experience stronger and more compassionate—with a few new hobbies and better hygiene! No doubt the year ahead is going to present its own set of challenges, but it’s a new year nonetheless, and a prime time to hit the reset button. And what better way to do so than in true New Year’s fashion by setting some health-related resolutions? Turn to page 28 for 15 ways to make 2021 your healthiest year yet. From “knowing your numbers” by getting bloodwork done, to taking a daily probiotic, and practicing mindfulness meditation, the underlying theme of each suggestion is the same: Self-care is health care. Finally, in our feature story, “Winter Wonderland” (page 54), we share places to go and things to see and savor this season, from “souper” soups to the (literal) hottest patios in town—ensuring a warm, wonderful winter for all. As we journey into these next 365 days, uncertain of what lies ahead, let’s take this newfound resilience and resourcefulness and make 2021 our most positive and productive year yet. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com
