“You made it through the winter so come relax and treat yourself. Make your own spa kit with QTAY! We will supply everything you need to provide a relaxing day for yourself.” This event will use essential oils so it unfortunately will not be fragrance free. We will be making a room spray, lip balm, sugar and lip scrub! You can customize your spa kit with different scents and cool designs. Make sure you RSVP by clicking attending on our facebook event page or e-mailing us at youth@acas.org as space and supplies are limited! Tokens and light refreshments are provided.

That's totally fine because we'll be doing a repeat MONDAY APRIL 22ND FROM 6:00 - 8:30! What is your ideal life? Does your home bring you joy? Come learn how to tidy up your home in a way that sparks joy! Inspired by Marie Kondo’s KonMari method, we’ll spend the evening reflecting on the joy or lack thereof in our lives. Even if the world outside is in chaos, our homes should be a safe space we can enjoy fully! Please try to bring two items! One item should be something that definitely makes you happy and that you love and want to keep! The other item should be something you've been unsure of about getting rid of. This is just for one of our activities where we'll explore our feelings around our things. Try to remember but don't sweat it too much if you forget! You can always use the skills you learn here at home. Food and tokens will be provided.
