Mood boosters
I have constant pain, daily. This is a list of my fav things that help my pain- and help me be less grouchy…
From sore muscles to cranky joints (and yes, even growing pains), this lotion does it all. It’s my #1 go-to on achy days, and thanks to #fibromyalgia and #arthritis there are a lot. FYI this lotion is made with essential oils so has a strong smell. N...
