A Slew Of Product Roundups and More
Plus: A special offer just for you!
Happy Monday, everyone!
I’m off on another press trip tomorrow (busy travel month!), this time to Hot Springs, Arkansas. I’ve never been to Arkansas, so I’m excited to explore a new state and add it to my list (I think this will be state #32 for me!). Be sure to follow along on Instagram, as I’ll be posting all about our activities, including mining for crystals (!!), visiting a traditional bathhouse, exploring the Gangster Museum of America, and touring some beautiful gardens.
In other news, Dwayne The Rock Johnson sent me a ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE POUND press package last week (!!!) … it required a FedEx Freight delivery and caused quite the raucous in my little neighborhood of elderly folks. Now that the embargo is lifted, watch my Instagram later today for the big reveal old what was in the enormous metal/wood crate.
