Be Well Rhody | letter from the editor

2020 has been quite an exhausting year both physically and mentally . The coronavirus has altered life as we know it and while COVID-19 may be part of our day-to-day life in both the days ahead and beyond , it ’ s crucial to remember ways in which we can keep our health in check . So , here ’ s your reminder : Mask up ( page 49 ), master maskne like a pro ( page 57 ), manage your mental health and winter blues ( page 58 ), find a new way to break a sweat ( page 47 ) and curb your junk food cravings with healthy alternatives ( page 53 ). And while you ’ re here , treat yourself with an at-home spa day ( page 54 ) and see how our resilient little community continues to give back , even through crisis ( page 52 ). Plus , listen to a behind-the-scenes account from a health care hero ( page 48 ). A new year often signifies a fresh start , so read on and let ’ s look to brighter days ahead !
Be Well , Rhody !
