#Faceasks
o Study: One side effect of wearing masks for a prolonged period of time could include neck stiffness, as well as upper back pain and more.
o According to the American Chiropractic Association, the pain is a result of masks limiting “the lower field of vision,” causing folks to tuck in their chin and hold their necks and posture stiffly.
o It’s mostly due to ill-flitting masks, so experts recommend making sure you get one that fits correctly.
#MillerLite
o The beer maker is releasing a candle that smells like a dive bar.
o It’s part of their limited-edition “Bar Smells” candle line.
o The three varieties are the dive bar, the game day bar, and the beer garden.
o Miller Lite says, “These candles will make you feel like you’re back at the bar with friends and a cold beer in hand, all while supporting the industry.”
o Each candle costs $20 and all the proceeds go towards the US Bartenders’ Guild Foundation which empowers bartenders to take charge of their careers through peer-to-peer learning, expert instruction, and service projects.
