What’s wrong with Blue Monday?
Let’s set the record straight: Blue Monday (the so-called “most depressing day of the year) isn’t real. It’s a marketing gimmick from 2005 designed to sell more flights. 🤦♀️
We think it’s time to flip the script. Instead of buying into the gloom, let’s reclaim the day as Blue Skies Monday – a celebration of progress, possibility, and positivity. Who’s with us?
