This shift helps counteract feelings of worry and anxiety, making space for happiness and contentment in your daily life.

PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Made In The USA Day

Made in the USA Day is celebrated on July 2 by consumers and manufacturers as a way of boosting sales for locally made products. The day is observed just before Independence Day when patriotic feelings are at an all-time high, which makes it an event of great splendor. Made in the USA Day encourages the manufacturing of goods in America and customers to choose these goods instead of those that are imported from elsewhere. The day also celebrates the companies and brands that manufacture their products in the United States, and who offer employment and top-quality services to their customers.
