How to celebrate Jul 24th

If you find yourself waking up on a day when old jokes, tequila, cousins, self-care, pioneers, engineers, and refreshments are celebrated, you’re in for a unique treat! Start your day by sharing an old joke with a cousin over a drive-thru breakfast. Then, why not indulge in some self-care by taking a long drive to a scenic spot and enjoying a tequila sunrise while reflecting on Amelia Earhart’s adventurous spirit? For lunch, how about a pioneer-style picnic, paying tribute to those who paved the way?

In the afternoon, engage in some fun activities to celebrate those who work behind the scenes. Try your hand at DIY car maintenance or indulge in some earth-friendly practices in honor of Earth Overshoot Day. As evening approaches, raise a toast to thermal engineers and samaritans by hosting a refreshing drink-making competition with friends or family.

To wind down, consider watching a documentary about Amelia Earhart’s achievements or reading up on ways to practice self-care. Finally, end your day by gazing at the stars to commemorate the pioneers who navigated uncharted territories.
