Seems like the weeks are just flying by, doesn't it?
We're just days away from July and somehow it feels like June didn't even happen. We don't know about you but with all the smoggy, hazy days lately, there's a feeling in the air (besides the smoke) that we're all somewhat due to slow down a little, take a well-deserved vacation, enjoy what will undoubtedly be another summer gone by, and appreciate the late nights and early mornings where the sun (we think?) shines all day long.
We heard about these breathing techniques that are supposed to calm your nerves, especially with all that scary news out there. Want to try?
Okay, deep breath. Ready? One, two, three. Inhale, and exhale. Repeat. Didn't that feel good?
