Imagine floating in 10 inches of Epsom Salt Saturated water that allows you to remain buoyant effortlessly. The tank is dark and the water is heated to match your skin temperature making it impossible to distinguish where your body ends and the water begins. A massive amount of brain power is used every second in order to deal with the huge strain that gravity places on one’s body. In a float tank the body is totally supported and there is little for the brain to do and EVERY muscle is allowed to totally relax

It was in the late 1800′s that animal shaped cookies were imported to the United States from England and they very quickly grew in popularity. In 1902 animal crackers officially became known as “Barnum’s Animals” and evoked the familiar circus theme of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Later that year, the now-familiar box was designed for the Christmas season made with a string to hang from the Christmas tree. At that time, these boxes of Animal Crackers sold for five cents a box.
