After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the quiet of January gives some time for self-care and reflection. Spend a weekend enjoying these Cumberland County gems while you unwind and practice self-care. 

 

Start your day with a tasty matcha tea latte specially made with intention and even better benefits. Vagabond Cafe serves matcha made with finely grounded tea powder, an oat milk substitute, and vanilla. The latte is delicious and has a host of benefits, including a boost in antioxidants for brain function, cancer prevention, and more--which make for a perfect cheer to the start any day. 

Experience the benefits of The Halo Spa's relaxing Halotherapy sessions. Book a Himalayan Detox Bath or salt cave session and feel like you are at the beach. The microscopic salt particles are said clear your lungs, improve respiratory health, and boost overall wellness. 

After visiting the spa, stop by Cumberland Coffee Roasters in Hope Mills for an expertly crafted cup of coffee and superb customer service. Cumberland Coffee Roasters is the only coffee roaster in the area, and they take their job seriously. If coffee isn't your thing, they also create a variety of smoothies with fruits, juices and proteins. 

Maybe self-care for you means finding your next great read. Visit one of greater Fayetteville's locally-owned bookshops to browse unique options and meet folks passionate about books.  City Center Gallery & Books in downtown Fayetteville is not only a bookshop that features used, historical, and local books, but it is the exclusive source for original art by the late artist Bob Rector. Fulfillity Books in Hope Mills is a small used book store with a variety of special events weekly, such as Silent Book Club and book parties for readers interested in specific genres.  

 

If creativity is your path to self care, here are a couple of fun options. 

At Wine & Design, choose from any painting canvas that speaks to your inner Picasso, pour a glass of wine of your choosing to relax, and put your mind at ease. Painting creates an outlet for emotional release that stimulates the creative side of our mind while focusing on our creation and libation, which can lower anxiety. 

Nearby, get creative at Greg's Pottery, which sells so many options of pottery to paint, you may have trouble choosing. After choosing the perfect piece, supportive staff help you create your pottery masterpiece.
