Did you miss out on taking a vacation this summer, or would you just like another? No problem. Budget Travel has published an article outlining eight spectacular fall-foliage cruises.
These cruises will help you escape stress as you enjoy autumn’s colorful leaves and sip warm apple cider.
A fall cruise not possible for you? Instead, take a drive through the country, and experience the change of colors in your own car – or you can always watch the fall video we posted on repeat!
What’s your favorite fall activity? Let us know!

Voting is now officially closed on our Who Deserves a Massager Contest and although each of the individuals you read about certainly do deserve a massager, unfortunately only one can win. The winner is….Drum-roll please……Janet who submitted a story on behalf of Joseph from Pennsylvania!
Congratulations Janet and Joseph! We will be in touch with you early next week to coordinate how to receive your HoMedics MCS-100 Shiatsu Back Massagers.
As a reminder, you can read Joseph’s story below:
When my son was 28, they discovered a ten inch tumor inside his spinal cord. After a ten hour surgery which he survived, they said he probably wouldn’t walk, but he did. However, he has a lasting problem called paraparesis. He has terrible problems with his muscles going into spasms, causing his right foot to twist almost completely over. As luck would have it, he met a wonderful person who he married. She tries to relieve his pain by massaging his back nightly trying to get the knots to release. I know he cannot sleep in bed at times because of the muscle spasms. So anything that can offer him relief of these terrible spasms and relieve him of some pain would be terrific. He lives with constant pain because of the paraparesis which feels like someone hitting you with a hot iron. He has lived with this for the past 15 years and no one has been able to help him. I think he definitely deserves to win. He never complains and is the most positive person I know. He is my hero.
Joseph, we truly hope your new massager is able to help you relax!
