IT’S A LEAP YEAR EVERYONE! And with this leap year comes the magical gift of a whole extra day. This year we get to experience the wonder that is February 29th. Every day is a gift (that’s why it’s called the present) so make sure to take full advantage of that 24-hour period. The 29th happens to fall on a Monday, which is super unfortunate, but you can still make the best of it with these simple suggestions.
1. Go to the beach!
1. Go for a hike.
3. Go on a picnic.
4. Show your leap-year gratitude and buy your friends drinks.
5. Try a new restaurant or try a new recipe.
February 29th only comes around once every four years so make this one memorable enough to tide you over until it comes back around.
