Dolce Far Niente

Dolce Far Niente

Today’s life is demanding, schedules are ever more chaotic and each day brings its fair share of stress and struggles. Yet, there is a safe haven, far away from your daily fight against problems and preoccupation.

Your home.

There’s nothing like returning to the quietness of your home after clenching your teeth through blaring bumper-to-bumper traffic on your daily commute.

There really is nothing quite like finally sitting down in the tranquility of your own space when you are weary and drained from confronting emergencies and disagreeable situations (not to mention, people!) all day long.

The recipe is simple: carve out some time every day to do the things that help to slow down the pace. Put on some tunes, dim the lights, take in the serenity of your surroundings.

And for the connoisseurs among you who appreciate unwinding with a special cocktail (or mocktail), prepare it. Then kick your shoes off and savor it, maybe even with your favorite smoke, a guilty pleasure to wash away a day of absolute craziness.
