This month, we’re highlighting local businesses as part of our #StayLocal2020 campaign. Scroll to the bottom for more information.
It’s a wild time to be a human right now. The holiday season is stressful enough when it’s not an election year in the midst of a global pandemic.
Even thinking of that we need a moment take a breath.
Relaxing is hard. Self-soothing and self-care are hard. But, there are a few things that can help with that. We’ve rounded up some stuff that is going to help you take a load off, relax, and show yourself some love. And I suppose they would probably make good gifts too – keeping in mind that many of these services/businesses sell gift certificates.
