Whew! It's vacation time. You will be able to breathe and recharge your batteries. Finally some time for yourself! How to make the most of it? Don't schedule a ton of things to do, select the ones that will bring you the most relaxation and joy, the ones that will allow you to try something new, to learn something, to discover a recipe... On the agenda: rest, relaxation but also a well thought out selection of things you don't have time to do during the year. Here is the time to read, to take part in a pottery workshop, to try the stand-up paddle on the lake..

Catch up on your reading list

The list of pages you promise yourself to read... one day. Books and articles pile up on your bedside table. Select the books and magazines you want to read the most and pack them in your suitcase. You'll open them during the vacations, when you'll have time to enjoy a read at your own pace. A novel to finish, your favorite magazine to read in its entirety, a new magazine to discover before adopting it, a recipe to cut out and try. You'll make the most of your reading time! And why not subscribe to a women's magazine for a moment just for you?

Customized subscriptions

Take the time to choose your new magazine on a subscription site that offers dozens of titles presented by theme: women's, news, people, youth, TV-games-leisure... Decoration or cooking, Art & Décoration or Elle à table? Practical life, well-being tips, fashion, real-life stories... It's time to settle down, to travel while reading and to gather good ideas from your magazines. A new subscription will be a new weekly or monthly appointment to continue during the year, a little positive kif that will evoke your last vacations! There are many options: paper or digital, three, six or twelve months... And there are many discounts and promotions to ensure you get the best rates. Don't forget the kids. Reading a Scrooge or a Mickey M ouse will soothe little wolves.

Do something new

The vacations are a time for discovery. Why not take the opportunity to try a new activity? You can even make it a vacation discipline or game: try something new every day. It's fun and rejuvenating! Day 1: play a new board game with your family. Day 2: Dare to take off in a paraglider. Day 3: Make a strawberry/coconut tiramisu. Day 4: Learn to crochet. Day 5: do nothing at all (a big first!). Day 6: make a watercolor of the landscape of your vacation. Day 7: dare to get a tattoo (very small...). Day 8: treat yourself to a new perfume and really take your time... (To be continued)

Abroad or in France, work on a foreign language

You go to London, perfect to work on your English! You're staying at your family's country house, take a series of courses to learn a foreign language on the Internet. There are many applications to initiate or improve your language skills. Vacations are the right time to start learning a new language. Start at a vacation pace and you can eventually continue throughout the year and, why not, plan your next vacation knowing how to get by in Spain, Turkey, Italy or even Japan!
