Tomorrow is National Relaxation Day, and yes, it falls on a work day, but it never hurts to take a minute to breathe and relax, even if at your desk. Besides, relaxation is about taking care of yourself, and we visited our Gal Pals at Daytime Chicago to ShareTheGlam and some self-care products that have a decompressing effect.
Nothing beats a good book, and this one is from a Chicago Author and is all about checking in with yourself and your mental and physical health.
