The best way to celebrate your birthday is to do some reflection and to set new goals. Type out a letter to yourself via FutureMe™'s website and choose a date you wish to receive this letter in your email inbox. It could be the next day, next week, one year later, three years later, or even 10 years later. Send it when you are done choosing a date and then the waiting game begins. No harm, have fun writing!

#4 Catch your latest K-drama shows

While food deliveries and takeout meals are great in its own right, nothing beats a homemade meal that's sometimes even better than what you get at restaurants! How about whipping up a good pasta meal for yourself, followed by making some Kinder Bueno ice creams and Insta-worthy Korean cafe-style drinks? Food is certainly the way to the heart!

#6 Treat yourself with some shopping therapy
