This Editor’s Guide to Self-Care During the Holiday Season

The holidays can be hard sometimes. They can also be fun, exhausting, rowdy, indulgent, beautiful, and loving. It’s a mix of all the things all the time for many, many days straight. I’m sure you know what I mean. We love our families, but it can be hard to be around them 24-7. We love celebrating with friends and coworkers, but it’s a lot sometimes. The best thing to get through the holiday season with only good memories of cocktails, delicious food, and great parties is to also make time to take care of yourself.

For me, taking care of myself means ensuring I have 24 to 48 hours of uninterrupted self-care time. This usually falls during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve when no one knows what day it is and staying home is celebrated. I get dressed up in my favorite loungewear set, I order all the best food within delivery distance, and I queue up the classic holiday movies no one will let me watch during the rest of the year.

And, as it turns out, this year, those sets are all from one dreamy destination, Lunya. The brand takes resting and resetting very seriously, with details designed to help you leave obligation mode and kick into rest mode. Think no-ride-up waistbands; incredible ventilation; soft, luxurious fabrics; and lots of pockets. I’ll practically be living in mine through New Year’s Eve and I’ve stocked up on Lunya gifts to give my friends and family this season too.

Below, find some must-buy essentials from the brand and a few other self-care accessories that make the unwinding experience a divine one. You’ll be happy you did.

There is nothing more luxurious than lounging around the house in something loose, silky, and genuinely luxe. The pants come with a side slit (for hot sleepers, like me, who need a little leg ventilation) and a comfortable waistband that sits at your true waist. It’s like a present to yourself. My advice? Pair it with your favorite takeout and a holiday movie.

Washable Silk Weighted Sleep Mask

Noise-reducing and weighted for maximum relaxation, this silk eye mask will give you the greatest sleep of your life. During the holidays, I like to take a warm bath, light a candle, pull it over my eyes, and drift off to sleep knowing I can sleep in and do it all over again come morning.

Now you’re ready to get cozy and recharge your battery before the year starts all over again. Cheers to that.
