Hey! Whats up? Anything new? How many minutes has it been since you washed your hands ? How many times have you googled anxiety symptoms versus coronavirus symptoms today?

But during this time fraught with anxiety and uncertainty, its also important for our mental health to think about things that are not the big thing everyones thinking about all the time.

Take it from me, an anxious person who thought starting The Sopranos from the beginning was a good idea in already trying times. I have since put that endeavor on hold. In lieu of obsessing over Carmela Sopranos wardrobe, Ive started obsessing over other, less stressful matters.

If youre looking for a way to support small, women-fronted businesses working to shatter stereotypes about what fit bodies look like, this is your chance. Plus, how CUTE!
