How do they feel today? Come in and DIY massage them with me.
The year is winding down. It’s time to slow down, reflect, be present with ourselves and with loved ones. I’ll admit that I’m way better at this than I used to be. This will be the second year in a row that I’ve taken the ladder half of December off from work, mostly because I have shifted my priorities to spend this time with Mr. Claus and our little elf (little elf pictured below). But, up until the ripe age of 36, I worked as much as I possibly could, right up until the holidays. I was stressed, rushed, and my brow was constantly furrowed.

In fact, my husband Trevor asks me to massage his head and face almost every night before bed because he gets it.
