It’s a new year with new resolutions and experiences! Downtown Las Cruces has a variety of opportunities to help you have the best 2023!
For the person who is looking to do more self-care:
The holidays are a busy season for everyone. Studies show that more than 26% of Americans are reporting higher levels of stress at the start of the new year. As you step back into your normal routine, make sure that you create time to do things for yourself. Dwell Yoga and Downtown Desert Yoga both can help you cultivate a time of mindfulness.
Wanting to tap into your artistic side? Mew + Co has you covered! For $7, grab a pre-drawn design, some brushes, and a watercolor palette and take a seat at there, the La Esquina Courtyard, or Grounded Café.
For the ultimate self-care experience, book an appointment at the Spa Downtown. From pedicures to facials to massages, you will feel positively rejuvenated for the new year!
