Speaking of cozy, iconic beaver-emblazoned casualwear from Roots is always in fashion. Members earn 4% in reward dollars on purchases through the AMARewards online store.

JUMP-START YOUR FITNESS ROUTINE
You look great no matter your size or shape, but if you want to add more exercise to your daily or weekly routine, participating Anytime Fitness locations are happy to oblige. Show your AMA card and get a one-year membership for the price of 10 months. .

PRACTICE SELF-CARE
