Momcations gaining greater traction
IN THE past, mothers may have felt guilty for leaving their families behind for a quick getaway. Not anymore, it seems.
These days, momcations – or vacations for mothers minus the shackles of parenting responsibilities – are getting more popular. Whether it is to spend time alone or with other mothers, such holidays allow mums to prioritise self-care, even if it’s just for a few days. This way, they can – in their own words – become “better mothers” when they return.
In this week’s BT Lifestyle, we look at this phenomenon that emerged in the 2010s but is now becoming more accepted.
Speaking of vacations, don’t we all want maximum mileage for our travel dollars? In Travel, we bring you tips on how to get the most out of your holiday budget, tell you when is the cheapest time to travel to this year’s top summer hot spots, as well as the most affordable alternative destinations.
