All or Nothing Day

How does one observe All or Nothing Day? The answer to this question is different for everyone. However, one thing is certain—this is not a holiday to be taken lightly.

All or Nothing Day is a time to take risks and live on the edge. Live like today is your last day alive and let your inner daredevil shine. Be sure to make peace with your enemies, spend time with your loved ones, and do something you've always wanted to do.

Try something new, seek an adventure, and give this day all you’ve got. All or Nothing Day only happens once a year, so don’t hold back!

Today is also National Coffee Milkshake Day

July is National Ice Cream Month & National Grilling Month
