In honor of National Men’s Health Week, we’re highlighting the importance of self care. After all, being healthy is not only about looking the part, it’s feeling the part as well. Self care involves taking the time to rest, revitalize, and rejuvenate so that we can take on our day to day tasks with renewed energy. To help raise awareness on men’s mental health, we’re taking a look at some products that can help the special men in our lives take the time off for self care. Welcome to your weekend pampering guide for dads!
