Can you believe it? The first part of this year has already whizzed by and we’re already in the month of June! Ahh how time flies… It feels like we’ve only made our new year’s resolution yesterday (well, not exactly but you get my drift).

And just like the start of a new year, planning on what you should do for the rest of the month remains a perennial issue for most of us who need a little time off between our hectic schedules.
