National Making Life Beautiful Day is a holiday on which people are encouraged to view life as their canvas and to make it as beautiful as possible. They can do this by cultivating close relationships with friends and family, enjoying art and history, and taking a few moments out of their day to appreciate nature. Of course, these are only suggestions for how people can make their lives beautiful; most people will have their own definitions of what constitutes a beautiful life. Whatever those goals are, they should put them into action when they celebrate this holiday on June 11th.

The History of National Making Life Beautiful Day

How this holiday began and how it has evolved over the past few years has changed. Originally, this holiday was created by Apriori Beauty in support of their beauty line for men and women in April of 2015.

No matter how a person celebrates this holiday, one thing is certain: it’s going to be a beautiful day.

Two Steps Towards a More Beautiful Life

Even though no one can grant you a beautiful life, we can offer some tips that will help people work towards a more beautiful life. The following tips are things that people can do to create a richer life, not only for National Making Life Beautiful Day but all year round.

Be Grateful for What You Have

A great first step towards leading a more beautiful life is being grateful for the gifts you’ve received. We all have things for which we’re thankful; it’s just that sometimes we’re so focused on our goals we can’t see what’s right in front of us. Change that, and your life will become richer.

Decide on Your Definition of a Beautiful Life

Only you can determine what will make you happy, so it’s a good time to write down some of the things that you want out of your life. It’s also a good time to ask yourself what your life is missing and how you can add those things to your life.

Observing National Making Life Beautiful Day

This holiday can be observed in so many different ways, it’s almost fruitless to try to list all of them. People can observe this holiday by making sure they achieve a goal they’ve been striving to reach, by enjoying art and/or music, or by volunteering their time for others. For some people, staying home and cleaning their house is a good way to celebrate this holiday, and for others, it might be hitting the clubs. It doesn’t matter how you celebrate it; just make sure that you do something that enriches your life in some way. And while you’re observing this holiday, be sure to use the hashtag #NationalMakingLifeBeautifulDay on social media.
