National Tequila Day
Breaking News: National Self-care Day and National Tequila Day overlap in 2020! This can't be a coincidence - but rather a surprising gift from 2020 to make up for six months of "Did that really happen?" headlines. Make the most of this little sign from the universe by celebrating in style. Start by pouring yourself an ice-cold margarita and settling into your most comfortable poolside seating. Oasis Garden & Patio is stocked up with outdoor furniture so comfortable you'll want to sleep under the stars. But don't doze off just yet. As you sip, soak in the natural botanicals of an organic face mask, or dip your toes in an epsom-salt foot soak. However you choose to celebrate, do it without guilt or shame because on this special day you deserve to fill your cup - with more tequila!
