Chooseday 22nd April, Choose To Bounce Back... Bunny-Style!

Good Morning,

Welcome back from the Easter break! Today we're choosing to bounce back!

Whether you spent it chasing kids around egg hunts, perfecting your hot cross bun consumption skills, simply doing absolutely nothing or volunteering (respect ✊), we hope you had the chance to unplug.

But now, as the inboxes fill and the calendar reminders ping, we’re here to say: don’t forget to ease back in—and look after your most important asset: YOU.

🧠 Science says: breaks make us better

Turns out, there’s real power in taking time off:

✅ Productivity boost – Returning from a holiday can increase productivity by up to 80% (Harvard Business Review, 2017)

✅ Mental health wins – People who take regular breaks experience lower rates of depression and burnout (American Psychological Association, 2018)

✅ Creativity unlock – Downtime allows the brain to incubate ideas, boosting problem-solving and creativity (HBR, 2017)

✅ Better sleep – 29% of holiday-takers report improved sleep quality (APA, 2018)

✅ Energy levels soar – 64% of people say they feel refreshed and excited to return to work post-vacation (U.S. Travel Association, 2017 – Project: Time Off)

🐰 Meanwhile, in bun-land...

While we’ve been enjoying choccie bunnies, the real-life floofs at Rabbit Run-Away Orphanage have been hopping into a different kind of action.

This Melbourne-based sanctuary rescues and rehabilitates rabbits—many dumped after Easter when the novelty wears off 😢. These bunnies need food, care, shelter… and your help.

💗 You can give them a second chance this week by:

🥬 Sponsoring Salad Greens – $15 = leafy noms for a week

🌾 Sponsoring a Bale of Hay – $30 = essential feed and bedding

💊 Sponsoring Medications – $50 = treatment for bunnies in need

🧺 Or just donate directly to help keep the hutch warm, clean, and full of love.

Support Rabbit Runaway Orphanage!
