SXSW is still happening but we’re already thinking about our recovery. Whether you did 10 days of activities or even just one, these ways to refresh and relax are definitely a good idea.
Here are the best ways to recover and recuperate from SXSW!
Get a Drip
Your Nurse Friend goes beyond the clinic, providing expert support and guidance. The company is lead by Tania Yousaf, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who specializes in family practice, women’s health, weight loss, and fertility. With over a decade of experience, she is passionate about educating and empowering patients to feel confident and in control of their own health journey. They offer a variety of drips via a mobile IV bar and mobile vitamin bar, as well as fertility care and weight loss plans. Learn more here.
Hit the Spa
If you’re looking for the ultimate relaxation experience, we suggest the spa at Fairmont Austin. Enjoy a serene space to sit a spell and listen to your body while surrounded by the spirited energy of downtown Austin. With nine treatment rooms including two VIP couples suites and lavishly appointed solariums, you’ll be treated to floor to ceiling views of the Austin skyline. Each solarium showcases a saline soaking pool, eucalyptus steam grotto, and European dry heat sauna.
Fairmont Spa Austin offers a variety of massages and facials, including treatments utilizing Doctor Babor and Biologique Recherche products. They’re actually one of the only Texas spas that feature the latter!
No matter what service you choose, we recommend sticking around after your treatment to enjoy a soak in their gorgeous tub overlooking the Austin skyline. If interested, you can also purchase a day pass to use the Fairmont’s rooftop pool and hot tub.
Eat Healthy
When you’re looking to eat healthy, Sweetgreen is always a good choice. Whether you’re on the go or have time to dine in, the menu is stocked with options cooked from scratch that are both healthy and tasty. And that’s not all. Sweetgreen is committed to building a transparent supply network and a community of people who believe in the power of real food. There are five locations to dine in Austin: Downtown in the 2nd Street District, in Music Lane on South Congress, The Domain, Mueller, and The Drag.
Try Some CBD
Sweet Sensi, which just opened downtown on Congress Avenue, is unique in that they control their entire process, including their grown-in-house hemp. They don’t use any harmful chemicals or solvents and they have 100% natural extraction. Their knowledgeable staff will help you find what’s right for you and with their conveniently located new store, it’s the perfect stop before, during, or after a day out at SXSW.
Stretch It Out
Yoga is a great way to engage both your body and your mind. It’s also something the whole family can enjoy. Check out our friend ATX Yoga Girl!
