Happy National Relaxation Day, Austin! Whatever your preferred method of self-care entails, I hope you take some time to do just that today. Speaking of, I can’t think of a more relaxing way to start the day than with a cup of coffee and the latest news from the ATX health and fitness scene.

🥙 You’ll Want A Pita This
Rejoice, hummus-lovers, because Middle Eastern-inspired eatery MezzeMe Turkish Kitchen is opening a second location on the Drag next month. With customizable grain bowls, salads, and pitas, plus tasty add-ons like zucchini yogurt with dill and walnut and spicy tabouli (not to mention plenty of vegetarian options), we know where we’ll be having lunch for the foreseeable future.

🏕 Just Trees & A Tiny Home
In need of a nature-filled escape not too far from the city? You’re in luck — Getaway Cabins recently revealed they’ve opened an Outpost in East Texas. At just three hours away from Austin, we’re convinced it’s going to be your new go-to destination for a weekend trip.

🌿 CBD Sweets & Sips
Soon, there’s going to be a new place to chill out in South Austin. CBD cafe and bakery Nature’s Joint has announced plans to open up a second location on Manchaca Road. We’re already drooling over the thought of their homemade brownies, honey, peanut butter cups, popsicles, and teas — all infused with CBD, of course. Keep an eye on their Instagram for upcoming info on the opening date.
