The Benefits of 'Awe Walks' For Your Mental Health

We love these tiny diffusers for keeping things fresh and breezy without taking up precious floor space — perfect for cozy apartments or sprucing up that hotel room air during summer travels! These cuties work smarter, filling up to 400 sq ft evenly for 600 hours, and they’re hypoallergenic and safe for pets. The best part? The scents are pure, VOC-free, and IFRA compliant, so you can breathe easy wherever you roam.

"I needed to re-up on my daily sunscreen, and recently came across Tower 28 Beauty's new SOS Faceguard SPF 30. I have to say I'm seriously impressed with the formula! It's tinted, leaves no white cast, and makes my skin look healthy and dewy. Bonus: It's the only sunscreen to receive all three seals from the National Eczema Association, National Rosacea Society, and the National Psoriasis Foundation." [Try it out]

One reader shares about her furry companion:

"I have been a dog mom for almost 20yrs. It brings me so much joy. I have loved all of my pups with all my heart, but you can tell when one is special. And that's my Frankie. She was my first rescue pup. We got her during the pandemic so her socialization is not fabulous. Only myself and my husband can pet her. She's not aggressive towards other people she just simply walks away when they try to touch her. As a puppy if things were too much for her, too much noise, she would simply leave the room. She has taught me so much about being patient and respecting the journey. We all get where we need to be when we need to be there. I recently broke my ankle, and she has been by my side the whole time. Heck, after the surgery she even developed a limp on her back leg. I call it her sympathy pains ☺️ (she's totally fine btw)" What a sweetie, KM!
