Why celebrate a day, when you can celebrate the whole month? Each day you should do a little something for yourself whether that’s eating a doughnut or taking yourself to get a freshly squeezed juice. Pamper yourself because this month is all about you.

Relax, spend the day at the spa. This should only be a fragment of your day in which you calm your body down for the party you know is coming. After spa time, you should feel refreshed and feel ready for anything. Prep some cucumbers and get ready to relax.
