Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher Download: (.mp3) | Mobile Play Social: Like Us On Facebook | Follow Us On Twitter | Follow Us On Instagram We’re excited to announce a new sponsor:  Float-RI, located on Post Road in Warwick! Float RI is an amazing place offering a wide range of services to help you balance your mind, body & soul, including Massage & Reiki, Fitness Classes, Aura Photography, and Floatation Therapy! We’ll be visiting float in the coming weeks to experience some of their services, including floating which is where you spend either 60 or 90 minutes in a private pod of 850 lbs of epsom salt and 10 inches of water are heated to skin temperature, creating an anti-gravity environment.   What happens when you float?  Stress and tension are released from the muscles.  Natural endorphins are released and the brain sends out alpha waves associated with meditation and relaxation. New to Rhode Island, this type of therapy has been used by pro-athletes around the world for decades! Learn more about FloatRI by visiting our website, and of course, we’ll be sharing our experiences in the coming weeks, plus we’ll have some wonderful give aways as well! ——————————————————————————————————————————————– Wicked Interesting: WinterDash 2019 // BoldrDash Race Saturday, March 30 https://boldrdashrace.com/event-winterdash-2019/ https://tockify.com/cardiscommunity/detail/1781/1553918400000 ——————————————————————————————————————————————– Wicked Fun in the 401 Super Smash Bro’s Monthly Smash-Down Sunday 3-6 Brewed Awakenings in Johnston Bring your own controller (Nintendo Switch) & join Brewed Awkenings for their first Super Smash Bros Ultimate Smash-Down!
