If I’m not mistaken …
Happy belated Singles Day! Did you know that singles are ascribed a celebratory day? Singles day is on November 11th which happens to coincide with my birthday! I’m pleased to see the single status being acknowledged and on the receiving end of positive attention by having a dedicated day. Although the attention around Singles Day …
I have a tradition of capturing the exact instance when the clock passes midnight and crosses over to my birthday. Something about it feels magical (if you haven’t experienced it give it a go!).
