Weekly Newsletter – 6/4/2025

Happy June everyone! Here in beautiful Santa Barbara, we know to expect some “June gloom”; however, it is very exciting that we have actually had some heat and some more sun is expected in our forecast this week! It is starting to feel like summer (which doesn’t officially kick off until later this month, but it feels like we are getting a head start this year).

The challenge this week is to get outside for an activity you enjoy to soak up some sun! This could look like a beach or pool day, reading your book on your front patio, or even just taking a walk before or after dinner. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Catherine Tro, Director of First Impressions

Healthy Living Tip

Combat “Text Neck” With These Two Stretches

From texting to emailing to browsing the internet and social media, we spend hours and hours every day on our phones, which can cause pain in our back and neck.

Have a tight neck? These two stretches can help!

The exaggerated nod—This stretch seems simple but is very effective. Sit comfortably, and with your teeth touching but not clenched, lean your head back like you are looking up at the ceiling. Then, gently open and close your mouth. You should feel a stretch both in the back of your neck and in the front.

Touch your toes—This stretch addresses both your hamstrings and your neck. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hinge at your hips while reaching down to touch your toes. Relax your neck. If you can’t touch your toes, that’s ok! Enjoy the stretch along your back.
