This article is part 28 of 22 in the series: Show Up and Stand Out

Everyone is in need of some well-deserved R&R. If there is one thing that doing work from home has taught us, it’s that self-care is essential to a healthy work/life balance. Give yourself the day off, set your email on “Do Not Disturb”, and slip something cosy on for your well-deserved PTO.

Apple AirPods Pro

Delivering the nonrestrictive energy that your day off deserves is the Apple AirPods Pro. Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows you to stay connected to your phone for up to 800 feet. Stay as close or as far away from your phone as possible and listen to your favourite jams undisturbed, even if you are just walking from your sofa to the kitchen and back.

adidas Yeezy Slide Pure

If a year indoors hasn’t persuaded you enough to invest in comfy house shoes, then Yeezy is here to change your mind. adidas and Mr. West dropped this Pure colourway of their signature Yeezy Slides. The model is constructed entirely from EVA Foam, making every step land on a pillow-like cushion. Its understated design also matches the vibe you’re going for when taking a day off: no fuss, no loud statements being made, just “Pure” peace and comfort.

Off-White Arrow Leaves Bathrobe White

Skinny jeans, bras, and belts are all confining articles of clothing that can wear us down. On your days off, you deserve to let loose, both mentally and physically. A proper bathrobe can help you achieve just that, and Virgil Abloh keeps that in mind too. The Off-White leader has designed a chenille fibre robe that is soft on the skin, making it the perfect body wear companion for your day of relaxation. Off-White branding on the front and back of the robe also helps you dress your best, even if you just live alone at home.

 

KAWS What Party Book

What’s more relaxing than looking at beautiful pieces of art? Looking at beautiful pieces of art from your couch in your robe and slides! The KAWS What Party book is a monograph detailing the work of Brian “KAWS” Donnelly. From his early graffiti work in the streets of New York City to his large inflatable works in Japan, the book brings his collection of work to your fingertips. Barely any words to read, just beautiful pics to transport you to a more colourful reality.

 

Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Vinyl

Speaking of transporting, music is a great way to take one to another dimension. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a 2010 project that takes you out of your own mind and into the imaginative world of Mr. Kanye West. It’s filled with bright songs, including a song titled “Lost In The World” which will literally take you out of your strenuous world and into a more upbeat setting.

Nintendo Switch Lite

Sometimes on your days of relaxation, you just want a distraction. The Nintendo Switch Lite offers a form of digital escapism that brings animated characters and mysterious worlds to the palm of your hands. Games like Animal Crossing and Zelda deliver crisp images of imaginary landscapes that are both beautiful and relaxing, while simultaneously offering challenges to help stimulate your mind. And the lightness and compact size of the Switch Lite makes it easy to take the game wherever you go.
