Megan Young and Mikael Daez on the joys of me-time moments

4 min read

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance has been a challenge for a lot of people. Keeping up with responsibilities can be stressful and draining so, itโ€™s important to reward oneself with valuable โ€œme-timeโ€ moments from time to time. 

Celebrity couple Megan Young and Mikael Daez can attest to this. Since the lockdown started, theyโ€™ve been creating content for their YouTube channel and podcast #BehindRelationshipGoals. Balancing work and their personal lives was not an easy task, but they make sure they find time to enjoy things they love.

โ€œWe look forward to any chance we get to enjoy the company of one another and [our dog] Soba, even if we only get a couple of hours or minutes of free time to do so. Weโ€™re even more appreciative of these moments.โ€ Mikael said.

โ€œBefore, we really pushed ourselves to work until madaling araw. But we realized that we need to put a limit and that we have to find time to reward ourselves also,โ€ Megan added. 

Though theyโ€™re limited to staying at home, Mikael and Megan still find ways to reward themselves through simple yet satisfying activities.

Take a breather 

Enjoy a cup of Mikael Daezโ€™s holiday spice drink with Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate.

Being able to take a few moments to appreciate free time after accomplishing so much canย feel rewarding.ย Find a comfortable spot and try to sit back for a few minutesย to help clear the mind before jumping into the next task.ย Performingย aย simpleย self-care routineย afterwards can be invigorating.

Play video games 

One of the things Megan and Mikael enjoy is their shared love for playing video games. Immersing oneself in a virtual world is easily rewarding after spending long hours of work.   

TV and movie marathon 

Spice up your favorite oatmeal snack with Swiss Miss Hazelnut.

One of the best ways to chill after a busy day โ€“ย a marathon of TV shows and moviesย while in pajamas andย with a cozy cup of hot chocolate. Swiss Miss is one of the celebrity coupleโ€™s must-haves when they go on a binge-watching spree. โ€œFor the anime lovers out there, weโ€™ve been watchingย Hunter x Hunterย andย Demon Slayer.ย And then, forย video game lovers, we watchedย Witcher. From time to time, thereโ€™s the occasional K-Dramaย or Korean movie thatโ€™s nice to watch,โ€ Mikael shared.ย ย 

Experiment in the kitchen 

Rewarding oneself can be as simple as satisfying cravings, preparing a tasty treat or cookingย a favorite dish.ย Forย Megan and Mikael, experimenting with Swissย Missโ€™ย various flavors to create delicious snacks and drinks turned out to be a memorable experience.ย Meganโ€™s favorite was adding Swiss Missย Chocolate Hazelnutย to oatmeal. โ€œSwiss Miss reallyย oomphโ€™dย up the flavor and the oatmeal experience,โ€ she said.ย 

Meanwhile, Mikael added cinnamon, cream, and rock salt to his Swiss Miss drink. โ€œIt did add a lot of nuance to the Swiss Miss experience and I was happily surprised,โ€ he said. โ€œWeโ€™re not cooks or chefs, so any wins in the kitchen is something weโ€™ll take.โ€

Spend time with loved ones 

Celebrity couple Megan Young and Mikael Daez enjoy celebrating their accomplishments with Swiss Miss.

Celebrating wins and accomplishments is more rewarding when shared with the family and loved ones. Thereโ€™s a blissful satisfaction in spending free timeย and catching upย with family and friends whetherย in person or virtually.ย ย 

The new year is an ideal time to grow in oneโ€™s personal and professional lives. Megan and Mikael โ€“ as individuals and as a couple โ€“ plan on taking their content creation to another level. โ€œDefinitely 2022 is another year for learning and taking it to a different scale,โ€ Megan said. Mikael also added, โ€œI mean we already started the content production arm of Bonez and Fofo so we might as well go with it 100% and try everything out.โ€ 

Of course, they wonโ€™t forget about taking a break rewarding themselves for their small and big wins.

Just like the celebrity couple, one can celebrate wins with a sweet reward like Swiss Miss. This chocolate drink comes in Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Marshmallow and Hazelnut flavors.
