Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) can be devastating for a weekend of needed and well deserved relaxation.  

My FOMO means that I might attend different events all weekend and turn my weekend into another 9-5. Every weekend is filled with birthdays, brunches, shopping trips, drinks, housewarmings and it’s killing me. Sometimes we all need to scratch that FOMO itch, but sometimes we do just need to be reminded to take a break.

#FLODown: Say no to FOMO, and join the FOMO Free Movement today…
