Let’s be honest: Turning 30 can bring about a lot of negative emotions. Yes, 30-year-olds are still very young. But when this milestone birthday comes around, it can still feel like a bummer, even if you understand there’s no reason to fret. Feeling this way is valid, of course, but it’s also something that Mary-Frances Emerson didn’t want her husband to feel on his birthday. So, to help make his big day special, she planned the perfect surprise birthday for her husband! Living in Denver, Mary and her husband aren’t very close to his best friends. This can make it difficult for them to hang out in person. As a result, the birthday boy was certain that he wouldn’t get to see them on his big day… or so he thought! Little did he know that his friends secretly flew to Denver just so they could celebrate his 30th birthday together! Watch the moment this surprise is revealed in the video below. @legitmfemerson No still best surprise ever #birthday #thirty #surprise #surprised #husband ♬ original sound – MF Woman Pulls Off the Exact Surprise Her Husband Needed on His 30th Birthday As the video shows, Mary’s husband is visibly feeling down. When he’s asked how he feels about turning 30, he gives an honest answer. Not only is he feeling depressed, but he also notes that it feels lonely. Funny he should say that since his best friends make their grand entrance the very next second! The immediate shift in his mood is so heartwarming to see! “The roller coaster of emotions this man just went through,” someone points out in the comment section of the video, with another adding, “How lucky to have such great friends, but truly… how lucky to have such an amazing wife to make sure he has the best birthday.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM As the summer rounds out, many of us have started to travel again for work and leisure, and we’re again experiencing the frustrating effects of jet lag. Traveling outside of our usual time zone can be disorienting, while the stress of travel takes a toll on our health, but a few preventative steps can help make the transition easier. Hydrate Dehydration exacerbates jet lag symptoms while dry cabin air dries us out even further. Combat jet lag by hydrating well before, during, and after your flight. Get out into the sunshine Sunshine is a primary regulator of circadian rhythms, so while it can be tempting to try and sleep off jet lag, getting out into the sun will actually help your system regulate more quickly. Force yourself to adapt  It can be tempting to doze off as soon as you land in a new destination, but you should limit naps to 30 minutes and try to force yourself to adapt to the local time zone by going to sleep and waking around when you would at home. Forgo caffeine and alcohol Caffeine and alcohol are dehydrating, so avoiding them in flight will help you stay hydrated and feel better once you land. Eat probiotics The bacteria in our gut can actually be affected by flights, so taking probiotics or eating probiotic-rich food, like kimchi and tempeh, in the two weeks leading up to your trip will help strengthen your immune system and alleviate jet lag. Consume magnesium Most of us associate jet lag with feeling tired, but it can also cause cramping due to poor circulation, dehydration, and a magnesium deficiency. Packing a magnesium-rich snack like almonds, seeds, or wheat germ will help stave off this negative side effect of flying.The post 6 ways to combat jet lag naturally first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.
