If 2020 was a good year for anybody, it was the subscription box. What started as a trend for geek fandoms, make-up mavens and self-care seekers has blossomed into a billion-dollar industry in less than five years.

With the demand for subscription boxes on the rise, the variety of boxes has matched that demand. You can now find subscription boxes for any interest you can think of. Love chickens? Disney? Cats? Cigars? Lingerie? There is a themed box out there for whatever your particular persuasion may be.

Now That’s Music to Our Ears

Listening to music is a beloved hobby for some and a serious passion for others. While many will think of music as just entertainment, it can also be life-saving.

According to Harvard Health, studies have shown that listening to music can drastically improve mood, stabilize heart rate after a heart attack and reduce the need for sedatives during medical procedures. Music aqids in the stroke recovery process and has even been shown to help patients with fall risks reduce those chances by 54%, simply by listening to music frequently.
