Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.
So give it a go, it’s a pretty lovely stretch. (Though it’s not actually magic, it’s just an up…

A female fencer has refused to compete against a biological man in a tournament at the University of Maryland. She took the knee and laid down her sword. The judges disqualified her. She is a true champion.

I want to make some money from this (yes, I admit it)! I find the yearly option at a decent discount is what I am most attracted to, so I will likely push for an affordable yearly subscription as an incentive.
