“I get so much joy when I can help you find that perfect gift, host the best gathering, and create the most fun. The joy also comes from doing my very best—there are so many products to choose from, so we take it seriously to vet those that will suit you and fill your needs best. We have an advantage as we align on so many levels with our customers, and for that, I’m so very grateful.” — Susie

With the holidays approaching, it’s easy to feel caught up in the rush. But here’s a little reminder: doing more of what brings you joy is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity for a balanced, happy life. Whether it’s preparing for holiday gatherings, exercising to boost your health, or shopping at places like bbQ & More where every item has been thoughtfully curated, those moments of joy are what fill our days with meaning.

Do What Makes You Happy: A Healthier You Awaits

For many of us, holiday prep is about so much more than the tasks themselves; it’s about the warmth of gathering, the shared laughter, and the joy of connecting. And if shopping for those perfect pieces at bbQ & More lifts your spirits, you’re in the right place. You’re invited to join us for our Mackenzie Childs event on November 21—not only to shop but also to connect, to fellowship, and to be part of a joyful holiday community. This is the season to celebrate, and we’re here to make it meaningful and fun.

3 Scientific Reasons Why Doing What You Love is Good for You

1. Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress

Research shows that engaging in enjoyable activities can significantly reduce stress. When you focus on what makes you happy, your brain releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones that help you feel relaxed and more connected to others. Even the act of holiday shopping or creating a beautiful tablescape can shift your mood in a positive way.

2. Improves Overall Health

Studies suggest that people who regularly do activities they enjoy, like exercising, cooking, or shopping at a favorite store, tend to have lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of cardiovascular issues. Taking time to enjoy these activities benefits both your mental and physical well-being.

3. Strengthens Social Connections

Engaging in shared experiences, such as shopping or gathering for an event, enhances social bonds. Social connections are proven to improve happiness and longevity. At our Mackenzie Childs event, you’re invited to come not just for the shopping, but for the fellowship. Meeting people who share your enthusiasm for creating beautiful spaces and celebrating the season can make your holiday preparations even more fulfilling.

So this season, give yourself permission to do more of what brings you joy. Whether that’s preparing for family gatherings, keeping up with your fitness goals, or treating yourself to something special from bbQ & More, these small moments create lasting happiness and well-being. We can’t wait to see you at our Mackenzie Childs event on November 21—come for the shopping, stay for the fellowship, and let us help make your holidays magical.
