I want to say a huge thank you to Shane Butler and tell everyone here they need to go get a massage from him! I will be back when I can afford it for sure! Best massage, so professional and just damn amazing!
I left feeling so light and almost high from just bliss!
I have never been so on to it in my Friday lectures at uni and my back (which has metal in it as I broke it) hasn't felt this normal in a long time!
Thank you, so much.

Multi-tasking myth
As someone who has struggled with focus throughout my life, I've known for a long time that our brain can not actually multi-task. There are certain mundane things we can do without thinking about, like eat, or keep our foot on the gas pedal etc, but as far as work and dealing with people we don't actually multi-task. We switch back and forth between the 2, or 3 things. (Hopefully not more than 3 because even 2 things makes it take longer.)
I have recently enjoyed learning some great tips fro...
