The Norwegian Women’s Beach Handball team is facing fines for wanting to wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms. The bottoms are not to cover “more than 10cm on any sides.”

Happy #selfcaresaturday! Let's talk about rest. Resting is important for the mind, body & soul. Rest can be about creating a safe space for yourself to decompress. All in all, it's about creating a solitude environment for yourself to recharge. #mindfullness #mentalhealth #rest
