National Pink Day –

It’s National Pink Day, a day where everything should be basking in pink splendor!

It’s especially a day for the ladies, as pink is a girl’s favourite colour. Guys, you can participate in National Pink Day, too. Just get in touch with your feminine side, and display a dash of pink. Note: the girls will love you for it!

It’s easy to enjoy and to participate in National Pink Day. Bring your pink elephant out of hiding. Wear pink, and show off everything you have that’s pink, from clothing and shoes to other possessions. Be creative. Use food colouring to make pink meals. Pink frosting on a cake or cookies will be a big hit today.

National Chocolate Eclair Day –

National Chocolate Eclair Day is a sugary, sweet way to start your day. It’s a sweet, tasty way to end your day, too. Eclairs are a light, crisp pastry filled with a pastry cream. They are most often eaten as a dessert. They can be eaten at every meal, or as a snack.

We hope that you are not on a diet, or watching calories, carbs or sugar. Because participating in this day, means consumption of high calorie, high carb, high sugar eclairs.

Did you know? Eclairs originated in France.

Summer Solstice –

Summer Solstice is sometimes referred to as “Midsummer” Litha”. It’s the longest day of the year. The amount of daylight only goes down from here….for the next six months (more on that later). Summer Solstice is the meteorological start of summer. It’s time to enjoy vacations, great weather, pools, baseballs, and everything else that goes along with the favourite season of kids and most adults. Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the season, because for many of us it is all too short.

Did you know? The sun does not set at the North Pole today. There is 24 hours of sunlight. Does it make up for that cold day in December when the sun does not rise above the horizon? No, but on this day it sure does feel good wherever you are!

World Sauntering Day –

World Sauntering Day is a day to saunter here and there, wherever you go.

You can spend your life walking through life, jogging through life, or being dragged through life. But, life is far more enjoyable, if you saunter through it. Its doubly true if you saunter with a friend or loved one.

Sauntering is not a walk, jog, trot, or run. Sauntering is a form of strolling. Sauntering is a very casual, yet stylish, form of movement from point A to Point B. The dictionary defines sauntering as walking along slowly, happily and aimlessly. Now, doesn’t this sound like a grand way to get around?

On World Sauntering Day, practice your sauntering technique. Saunter everywhere you go.

Donald Duck Day –

Happy Birthday, Donald. We hope that Daisy Duck bakes you your favourite cake!

Donald Duck Day in honour of Donald Duck’s cartoon debut. Donald first appeared in “The Wise Hen” on June 9, 1934. While Donald celebrates his 81st year, he doesn’t act a day over 20. Donald is one of Disney’s most famous and popular characters.

Did you Know? Donald has a middle name. Donald F. Duck’s middle name is “Fauntleroy”.

Enjoy Donald Duck Day in front of the television watching Donald, along with all of his family and friends.

Best Friend Day –

Best Friend Day is a time to enjoy and appreciate your best friend. It is a day to honour and cherish the relationship.

If you’re lucky, you have a best friend. If you are real lucky, you have a number of best friends. Best friends are very, very special people. You spend countless hours with your best friend going to events and activities, or just hanging out. You share secrets, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and disappointments with your best friend.

Some folks say you can only have one best friend. This author disagrees. You can have a couple at the same time, or several over time. Friends come and go for a variety of reasons. It’s the result of many things, including moving, changing schools or jobs, and more. We hope that you are lucky enough to have a number of best friends over the years.

Celebrate Best Friend Day by:

• Spending time with your best friend
• Making efforts to find a best friend(if you don’t currently have one)
• Giving a small gift or card to your best friend
• Calling an old best friend that you’ve lost touch with

National Chocolate Ice Cream Day

National Chocolate Ice Cream Day is a great day to eat America’s favourite flavour of ice cream.

National Chocolate Ice Cream Day is a field day for ice cream makers. However, we probably don’t need any additional incentive to eat Chocolate Ice Cream. And, with the arrival of warm, summer weather, cooling off with a little (or a lot) of chocolate ice cream is a natural.

Celebrate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day by enjoying it a few times today. It’s as simple as that. Just make sure to eat  it quickly before it melts in the summer heat.

National Doughnut Day – Not what you think! –

National Doughnut Day honours the Salvation Army “Lassies” of WWI. It is also used as a fundraiser for needy causes of the Salvation Army.

The original Salvation Army Doughnut was first served by Salvation Army in 1917. During WWI, Salvation Army “lassies” were sent to the front lines of Europe. These brave volunteers made home cooked foods, and provided a morale boost to the troops. Often, the doughnuts were cooked in oil inside the of the metal helmet of an American soldier. The American infantrymen were commonly called doughboys. Salvation Army lassies were the only women outside of military personnel allowed to visit the front lines. Lt. Colonel Helen Purviance is considered the Salvation Army’s “first doughnut girl”.

On National Doughnut Day, look to see if your local doughnut shop, or other organizations, are offering free donuts to solicit donations for the Salvation Army or for another needy cause. If you find them, please be generous.

Note: The word “Doughnut” is often shortened to “Donut. So, if you see the term National Donut Day, it’s the same day.
