Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Shared the Important Reason She's Taking a Week Off for Self-Care

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who's about to become the youngest Congresswoman ever this January, is taking some time for self-care. The Congresswoman-elect took to her Instagram stories on Monday to let her followers known she'd be starting a week of self-care, though she admitted she doesn't really know how to do that or what it entails.

After describing some of the self-care tips she's heard in the past (drink wine and watch Netflix, go to Cancun), she showed a photo of Amnesty International's signs for burning out, writing, "Self-care is important for activists because without we WILL burn out and walk away."

She continued, writing, "Confession time: I am so bad at this. Even though our story exploded 5 months ago, I’ve been campaigning nonstop for two years: through multiple jobs, double shifts, morning commutes on the subway, etc."

Ocasio-Cortez explained that before the campaign, she would do yoga multiple times a week, eat nutritiously, and take time to read and write for leisure. Then, once her campaign began, she says all that went out the window and instead, she found herself eating fast food for dinner and falling asleep in her jeans and makeup.

Actually, it sounds like she's pretty experienced at *self-care*.

Indulging and pampering herself may be the only thing she is good at.

Oh yeah for sure go to Cancun

Get some sun tan lotion at Cosco in the area that has been Americanized.

https://www.breitbart.com/border/2018/12/17/cancun-cartel-war-kills-525-in-2018/

Formerly peaceful Cancún continues to experience shocking levels of cartel violence. At least eight individuals were murdered over the past weekend.

The number of homicides registered in Cancún officially reached at least 525 in 2018, smashing the previous all-time record set in 2017 at 227, according to statistics obtained from the state attorney general’s office.

During the recent 48-hour period, at least five were murdered from Friday night to Saturday night with an additional three early Sunday morning, according to local reporting and law enforcement sources.

One death was registered in the parking lot of the Costco store located on Kabah Avenue near a popular expat community—now home to many Americans. Initial reports indicate that an unidentified male was loading his car with groceries on Friday at approximately 8:10 pm when he was attacked by several gunmen waiting for him.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple wounds.

Interesting I just got home from Cosco.

“...Did this woman ever have a real job with real responsibilities?...”

Nope. She’s obama with boobs.

Zero qualifications.

Never liked the workplace drama queens who brayed to everyone they needed a week off for mental health.

It's almost like she won that old 1950s Mademoiselle Magazine Award where you get to go to NYC and have a good time rather than her gaining a seat in the United States House of Representatives. She's a complete airhead.

The bimbo in your picture is probably a more interesting, well balanced, and intelligent person than Occasional-Cortex.

She’s going to take a pricey vacation so she’s putting this “self-care” nonsense out there in case it’s reported. Just another hypocritical Socialist.

One week “self-care”? Didn’t know the Betty Ford Clinic had a speed-detox option.

At the rate she’s going, I think poor Ms. Occasionally Coherent may be ready for the full stint there by summer, complete with replacement Congress-critter to follow.

possibly

But Cortex isn’t a fool either, she is playing us by playing stupid.

She’s an attention whore, she can’t even go away for a week without grabbing attention. Best way to fend off this Trump wanabe, ignore her. She will go away.

She’s 0bama. Not actually an idiot, but colossally ignorant and not the genius she fancies herself to be.

Never said she was a genius, but she def. isn’t dumb as a rock, she just plays dumb.

I believe early on a she made a gaffe and realized it gets her tons of free press, now I believe she does it because it gets her a ton of free press. She is Trumping us.

She isn’t stupid, but she is smart enough to outsmart the American Media.
