A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
A tip of the hat goes to NATIONAL BRAIDERS DAY. The people who twist, braid and decorate the locks of their customers sometimes get overlooked when it comes to the hair industry. It takes a good deal of skill to pull these designs off and they get it done. Thank you for what you do.
Family, Friends and Neighbors
SNEAK SOME ZUCCHINI ONTO YOUR NEIGHBORS PORCH DAY can be downright neighborly. If you have too much, give some to someone else. I don’t think you have to stop at zucchini either. Whatever you have an abundance of, is better passed on than left to spoil.
Celebrate You with…
In 1999, the Secret Society of Happy People created HAPPINESS HAPPENS DAY. It will, you know, if you let it. Do not let the daily grind of stress, monotony and fatigue get you down. There really is something to thinking happy thoughts and transferring them to your heart. Pretty soon, you will be smiling and passing on the good vibes to other people.
Education and Information
DYING TO KNOW DAY started off in Australia and is slowly making its way around the world. This is all about making plans for the end. Getting your affairs in order, drawing up last wills and testaments, living wills and making last wishes known – all help to deal with the inevitable.
Belly up to the Bud
Speaking of good vibes – it’s also NATIONAL CBD DAY. This hemp derivative is making in-roads into the health and wellness market in all kinds of forms. It has been used as a pain reliever, stress reducer and all-around relaxer – without the psychoactive effects of THC.
On Today’s Menu…
Our dessert of the day may sound weird to some people, but it has long been a tradition here in St. Louis. FROZEN CUSTARD DAY brings on this creamy treat that just rocks. Adding eggs to the mix is what differentiates this dessert from ice cream. This makes for a smoother texture. Next time you are in St. Louis, let me know and we will hit up a Ted Drew’s Frozen Custard Stand.
We end the day with GLOBAL SLEEP UNDER THE STARS NIGHT. Near perfect conditions are what’s needed to make this happen, but if the temps are good, and you have the right kind of setup – there is nothing quite like it. The whole outdoors becomes your bedroom.
