We decided to share our favorite ways to de-stress—from baking and binge-watching comfort shows to bonding with our pets. We dive into the importance of female friendship, mental health, and self-care rituals, before brainstorming ideas for our self-care cult. Inspired by real-life examples, we explore what makes people follow—and how we’d do it better.
