Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, (D-N.Y.) is set to become the youngest woman to serve in Congress when she’s sworn in next month. She has spent months campaigning, and since her primary victory and eventual general election win last month, her life has been a whirlwind. Ocasio-Cortez was also still working shifts in a restaurant and a bar in Queens before becoming a political megastar. Lately, she has been battling Republican commentators and elected officials on Twitter and she finally needs a break. “I am starting a week of self-care where I am taking the week off and taking care of me,” she said on her Instagram story on Tuesday afternoon. “I don’t know how to do that though, so I would appreciate any and all self-care tips.” The rapid change in her life has played out in front of the world and she acknowledged that it has taken a drastic toll on her emotionally and physically. With Christmas a week away, it’s time for a break.
