'Happy' Blue Monday 💙

At MMCG, instead of accepting Blue Monday as the saddest day of the year, we’re using it as a reminder to pause, reconnect, and check in with the people around us.

The small things can make all the difference. Let’s turn “Blue Monday” into a day of kindness and smiles, and a reminder that no one has to face a tough day alone.
