From the Ago Bay in Japan to the South Sea, we’ve been diving deep to bring you the absolute best women’s activities happening on August 21 2018.

“I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion, not a fact. And it has always made me feel better.” —Hayden Panettiere

Let’s kick the day off with a very special birthday wish going out to Hayden Panettiere!

If you’re not familiar with her by name, let’s just say that she’s been a ‘Hero’ to many and has recently been spotted singing in Nashville…

You may better know Hayden as “Claire” from the popular NBC sci-fi TV drama, Heroes, where she played an unkillable super-cheerleader.

Not only is she killing it with the country music for the show, she also garnered two (!!!) Golden Globe nominations in the process.

So go ahead and wish her a Happy Birthday and congrats on all her success!

🍨 National Spumoni Day

I’m not going to lie, I had no idea what spumoni was before diving into this National Food Day.

If you’re already hip to the spumoni, I’m a bit envious, and for everyone who’s in the same boat as I recently was, let me explain…

The name loosely translates from Italian as “foam”, which I suppose makes sense as it’s a molded gelato (low fat ice cream) with layers of whipped cream.

This is why images will show a green (pistachio), red (cherry) and chocolate neapolitan looking serving suggestion.

Now to find a place that serves it up here in Las Vegas… maybe I’ll start over at Trattoria Reggiano!

👵 National Senior Citizens Day

If there’s one National Day you take a moment to celebrate this week, make it National Senior Citizens Day.

Perhaps it’s your mother, grandmother, aunt, pastor, teacher, librarian or even gas station clerk.

Be honest and sincere and maybe even ask them if there’s anything you can do to help them out.

Wish them a Happy Senior Citizens Day and maybe ask them if they’d ever heard of such a thing… you never know where the conversation will take you!

Just remember, if you play your cards right… you just might get there yourself one day.
