Reboot Your System in Mexico

DURING MY FOUR DAYS at the new Sha Wellness Clinic, just north of Cancún, Mexico, I had all manner of things done to my body: I got pumped full of intravenous vitamins, had acupuncture (twice), got slathered in a seaweed wrap, underwent an intravascular fat assessment, tried a Pressotherapy session to drain my lymphatic system, and fell asleep while a machine regenerated my cells with a mild electrical current. And I still had time for a mani-pedi.

Sometimes it's not enough for our editors to be instantly impressed by a product. Sometimes we want to push it to the limits in one of our three labs, our own homes, or both to see how it holds up under pressure. We cook, we wear, we smear, we clean. We evaluate and tally. Then we give out the REAL SIMPLE Selects seal. When we put that label on something, that means it's among the 5,200-plus products we've formally evaluated according to strict protocols. On this list: some of our current faves. If you see something you like, scan the QR code and get shopping!

The FRIENDLIEST Places in the South 2024

Hospitality is a hallmark of our region, but people define it in different ways. Is it a conversation in the checkout line? A bartender who knows your order before you sit down? The way a community welcomes people who are just passing through? So we asked you, our readers, to share the places that make you feel right at home on every level. Narrowing down thousands of nominations for hotels, restaurants, stores, nonprofits, and more was no small feat, but it was very uplifting. As these 20 standouts show, Southerners go above and beyond to take care of one another.
