THE LAST SPIRIT WEEK OF 2020: DECEMBER 14-20TH
This spirit week was created as a time to reflect on the rocks and rolls of 2020…
MONDAY: MESSY MOMENTS DAY - Scroll through your phone and find a messy moment or two. Maybe it was your hair. Maybe it was your closet. Maybe it is the current state of your kitchen sink. Don’t have a photo? Screenshot the next slide (found on betterish IG) and tell us about it +tag @betterish
TUESDAY: TUNES DAY - What’s your song of 2020 or best represents 2020? What’s that song you cued up when everything felt really bad, but this melody somehow made it all better? Drop that beat! +tag betterish (…all tunes will be compiled into an epic playlist!)
WEDNESDAY: WANDER APPRECIATIONS DAY - From noticing chalk scrawlings to the scent of the trees, walking has been one of the few things we can still do under all the shelter-in-place/safer-at-home orders. Show a snap from a memorable 2020 stroll +tag @Betterish
THURSDAY: 2020 TRENDS DAY - What became your 2020 fashion or WFH trend? Sweatsuits? Bookshelf incorporated into your zoom set up? Tie dye? Masks! Mask chains! Hand sanitizer dangling from those pockets! Share your top 2020 looks from clothing to work-from-home spaces + tag @Betterish
FRIDAY: UNFORGETTABLE SIGNS OF THE TIMES DAY - Who knew we’d see signage like: “no mask, no ice cream,” “please remain 6 feet a part,” “be excellent to each other.” Share a photo of a sign articulating something very 2020 +tag @Betterish
WEEKEND BONUS: DELIVER GRATITUDE DAYS: Alright, how many packages have you had delivered in the last month alone? What about your daily mail delivery?
Chances are you’ve been receiving more through the mail this year and it’s time to show some appreciation for your delivery folks & postal workers.
Make a box to keep on your porch or hang from your mailbox.
Toss in notes of encouragement, kindness, and care + maybe add some snacks, hand sanitizer and/or homemade cookies to the mix.
