It’s 2017 already! Just 3 more years now until the countless 2020 predictions come due. Today in Oxygen Mag, we look in our rear view mirror and reflect on 2016. Many people called 2016 the “worst year ever,” but there was plenty of awesomeness too. Let’s focus on that today! 😊

This issue of Oxygen Mag will make you smile, give you hope and plenty to cheer about!
