Before retiring for the night, slip on a pair of red shoes to honor International Red Shoe Day. These vibrant shoes symbolize courage and awareness, so wear them proudly as you reflect on the day’s festivities.

To wrap things up, strike up a conversation with someone in an elevator to celebrate National Talk in an Elevator Day. Share a smile or a quick anecdote during the ride to spread some cheer.
