"1. Do Something Fun First

A member of the Group makes these wonderful weighted scarves for adults and children. The scarves are made of soft minky dot material and have weighted beads sown in to pockets.

I have one of my own that I wear at home when I’m working on the laptop, watching television, or reading a book. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
