After the year that was 2020, keeping calm should be high on the list of priorities for 2021. In Miami, finding ways to tune out the noise and remain Zen amid the chaos is often just a wellness treatment away. Sanity saviors are available in the form of chakra balancing, facial kinesiology and touchless massages, among other therapies. Whether it’s a reset you’re after or a way to preempt stress, these six treatments will help you chill the eff out and give you the resolve you need to tackle the months ahead. 1. Dive into sound healing Take a break from the online noise and quiet your mind with sound therapy. A 30-minute session of sound therapy with singing bowls can help you find clarity and relax your muscles with sound vibrations. The Bagua Center offers private sessions to get you started on your inner healing journey. Besides calming your body, meditating with sound therapy will do more to free your mind from heavy thoughts than regular moments of contemplation.

Invest in a luxury face treatment The Egyptian rose mask from Face Lab Miami is the power boost your skin needs to decompress naturally. Organic rose petals and bud flakes are used to reduce traces of aging (fine lines, hyperpigmentation and the like) and intensely hydrate the skin for a glowing complexion. Healthy skin leads to improved confidence and an overall calm demeanor. It’s just the way things go. Vie

Lazy days on the beach and endless pool parties come to mind as some of the simple pleasures of spending time in Miami. While lounging in the sun is what most tourists enjoy, Miamians know there are more ways to indulge in the Magic City. Whether it’s making a detour for warm pastelitos on our way to work or staying out too late and watching the sunrise, locals delight in more than the shoreline. Below, the guilty pleasures every Miamian has embraced at some point in their 305 existence. 1. Watch the sunrise at the beach Many Miamians take pride in staying out late to catch the first beams of sunlight and take a stroll on the empty sand, especially if it's New Year's Day. And when we’re not ready to hit the beach, we watch from our sick balconies. 2. Staycation at a hotel with a killer view Tourists aren’t the only ones enjoying the amenities at Miami hotels—locals like to escape regular life for a night away, too. And if room service is included then even better. There is nothing like waking up on 800-thread-count sheets while relishing the sounds of the ocean. 3. Sip a good mojito The operative word here is good. Miamians know where to find a solid mojito and aren’t afraid of veering away from the classics with tropical variations like mango and lychee. It may be the drinks tourists come in search of but a proper mojito holds a place in our hearts, too. 4. Have a photoshoot at an iconic art display Miamians live for the Instagram-worthy experience, which means snapping pics
