I celebrated my thirty first birthday YESTERDAY. It has been one amazing day. Spending a few hours at work with amazing friends and then the afternoon with family.
When you become older, you tend to not want to celebrate your birthday. However my motto, no matter how old you are, you need to celebrate your born day. It is your special day. If you dont have money, then try do things that require very little money or do not require any money at all.
Here are some tips on what you can do on your birthday.
1. Take the day off
If you are a full day working individual, take the day off. Take the day to soak in the bath, do your nails or anything that you heart desires. Take time off to just relax. It's your special day. Make time for you. Take time to meditate on the things your heart desires.
2. Watch a movie under the stars
Take a blanket and pack a picnic basket . If you dont have a projector, why not run a lead outside and put the television outside. Then you can have a movie nights under the stars with your loved ones.
3. Invite friends for a bring and braai.
We all know that inviting friends over can be challenging and extremely expensive. Why fit the bill yourself? Invite people over and tell them to bring their own me to braai and their own alcohol. This will reduce the price of your party and you will only be responsible for the snacks and your own goodies to eat.
4 Scavengers hunt.
Invite a few people over for a game of scavenger hunt. Print out clues and do a hunt in your area. Winner gets a small prize. You can also play as couples. there is allot of ideas these days to spice up a scavenger hunt.
6. Go hiking
Go to a local nature reserve and take a hike with family or friends.
7. Research free activities in your area.
You will be surprised how much you can do without cash. You can pack a picnic basket and go to the dam. Or visit a museum (if it is free).
8. Play a sport with the whole family
When I was younger, my family use to join together and played a good game of cricket. Its was so much fun. Everyone joined in. Kids, parents and even my gran use to join in from time to time. This was a great way of spending time and getting in some excercises. The kids use to love it the most.
You dont have to have a full day at all. You make the best of it. It is how you want to spend it and how you want to live your life. Take matters in your own hands and make life a little simpler for yourself it doesn't always have to be so complicated.
Live love and LOL
