As children we love to dress-up and play. We tend to lose that as adults, life can become all about responsibilities and routines. An important part of being healthy and happy is to get out of our routines and try new things to keep life fresh. Here’s a chance to go back to your roots, dress-up and play, drop your inhibitions and be someone else for the day, have fun and not take life too seriously!
Two cool and fashionable things to do this summer:
