June is the month where summer officially begins (this Saturday!) and it’s also “Stress Free America Month”. How fitting! I mean how can you really be stressed in the summer? The sun is shining, the days are long and hopefully you’ve got some beach getaways on the calendar.
Roxy and Quicksilver have teamed up with Flip Flop Shops and created limited edition flip flops that are raising funds for the American Heart Association’s My Heart. My Life, which emphasizes a move towards healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
Part of the AHA’s mission is to increase healthy eating, physical activity and children’s health in general and Stress Free America Month is a part of this. Stress can take a major toll on your body and mind but you can fight stress with healthy habits. A few ways to fight it: engage in daily physical activity, embrace the things you are able to change, get organized and get enough sleep. For a full list of recommendations, check out THIS LIST from Flip Flop Shops (scroll towards the bottom).
If you live near a Flip Flop Shop, check out the limited edition pairs. MM and I each got a pair and will be wearing them throughout summer; they will be a constant reminder to us not to stress out. Read more about the mission and donate HERE.
