We put together this special section to celebrate Los Angeles and the tricks we’ve used to make it through. Here you’ll find inspiration, such as a list of hikes for the best winter views in Southern California and plant-forward restaurants to help you keep your vow to do with less meat. We also have lots of tips on self-care, decluttering your nest and wrangling your unruly finances. Let’s resolve to thrive in 2022, and start enjoying life again — safely, of course.
