Labor Day 2017 is coming up and you've planned a last minute getaway, right?  Well, if not, why not?  Study after study shows that less people are taking time off.  But, doctors say you should be taking time off.  Why?  Because not only are vacations great for reducing stress, but they also improve heart and mental health, and they're great for maintaining relationships.  So, now's the perfect time to squeeze in a last minute vacation and treat yourself to some much needed R&R.


If you've got airline miles and can easily book a last minute trip somewhere, go ahead, live it up.  Spur of the moment trips are often the best.  Or, if you live within driving distance of a great getaway, or somewhere you've never been, now's the perfect time for a visit.  Even if money's tight, there's always all sorts of ways to have a great staycation in your own town.  So, now that we've established you're going somewhere (anywhere) this Labor Day (which is September 4, by the way), here's what you need:

 
1.  A Bag (Samsonite 28" Charcoal Spinner)




2.  A Fun Swimsuit (Cocoship Retro One Piece Swimsuit)



3.  Layers (DJT Solid Knit Asymetric Poncho)



4.  Comfortable Walking Ankle Boots (Peep Toe Booties with a Stacked Heel)



5.  Scarf  (V28 Gorgeous Blue Elephant Scarf)




6.  A Dinner Dress (ROMWE Spaghetti Strap Dress)



7.  A Great Pair of Earrings (14k Yellow Gold Lapis Teardrop Earrings)



8.  Haircare (it's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product)



9.  An Eye Mask for a Good Night's Sleep (Jersey Slumber 100% Silk Sleep Mask)
