January can be a pretty stressful month.
Between all those resolutions to keep up with, the winter weather to contend with, and always having to change the 7 into a weirdly shaped 8 whenever you forget that it’s actually 2018 now, the worries can begin to pile up quite high.

Luckily, there’s a cure for all that pent up stress – and we don’t mean just eating a bunch of cookie dough and staying in bed all day (though that doesn’t sound too bad either).
