Another month is ending, and it’s time to treat yourself for doing an awesome job this October! 

We all cope and celebrate little wins in different ways. Some prefer to go out and meet with friends, while others would rather be curled up in bed and binge-watching their favorite shows. 

It is always good to put ourselves first and schedule some me-time to recover from weeks of hard work, especially before we welcome another month.

If you are still looking for ways to spend your last weekend of October, here's a quick rundown of the events and activities that you may consider to surely end this month with a bang.

Check out the SHEIN pop-up store at Trinoma
