Happy Weekend!
For your weekend planning:
- September is Takeout Month
- It also is Hunger Action Month, so maybe a donation to match that take-out bill?
- Donate blood (look for drives near you; there are a handful listed below)
- Get outside! Explore the Hershey Harrisburg Adventure Trail.
- September is also National Self-Care Awareness Month. A friend just sent me a big box of sheet masks — how do you do self-care?
- Treat yourself to these artisan chocolates
- Make the ultimate fall cocktail
- Split a Wine Tasting Flight with some trusted friends
- It’s a good time to make sure you have a fitness plan in place for the fall/winter. Burn30 is celebrating 10 years this month — new members get 10% off their first month of training when they sign up in September.
- See what else you missed on the blog.
