Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Thursday September 29, 2016 is Biscotti Day. Honey Pistachio, Almond and Lemon Dipped in White Chocolate, Dried Cherry and Almond Biscotti are just a few samples of the absolutely rainbow of flavors you can get Biscotti in. This day celebrates these wonderful treats, and reminds you to try a new flavor, or indulge in your favorite. Biscotti are almond biscuits that originate in Prato Italy, they are the result of a process that leaves them delicious and crunchy, twice-baking. They’re traditionally served in Vin Santo, a sweet white dessert wine. Biscotti were the result of a process that was used to help preserve food for a long time. The cooking process starts with a barely wet dough of flour, sugar, eggs, and unskinned/unroasted almonds, without any form of yeast or fat. This dough is baked once in a slab the shape of the biscotti, and then baked again after being sliced into the signature shape. Besides almonds, they can be made with pine nuts, walnuts, dry fruits, or just about any low-moisture ingredient. Basic Biscotti Recipe you can build on: ½ c Canola Oil 1 c sugar 3 ¼ cups flour (all-purpose) 3 eggs 1 T Baking Powder 1 T Anise Extract Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, and grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and the Anise extract until it’s blended together. Combine the baking powder and the flour and add the egg mixture until you have a heavy dough. Split it in two and make a roll the same length as your cookie sheet, press it down to ½ thickness, and place in the preheated oven. 25-30 minutes later it should turn a nice golden brown, take it out and let it cool. When it’s cold enough to handle cut it into ½ in thick slices and put back on the baking sheet. Then let it cook for an additional 6-10 minutes until lightly toasted. You can build on this recipe by adding lemon juice, orange juice, frosting them, adding nuts or fruit, anything you can think of. ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #linkinbio #lpt #biscotti #wp #fb #tweet #twitter #follow #like #tagsforlike #pop #share #ig #insta #tasty #foodporn . @Instagram @sharpharm
Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Thursday September 29, 2016 is World Heart Day. “Heart Day is part of an international campaign to spread awareness about heart disease and stroke prevention. This is the perfect day to quit smoking, get exercising and start eating healthy – all in the name of keeping your ticker in good working order, and improving the health and well being of people the world over. The World Heart Federation have found that heart disease and strokes are the world’s leading cause of death, killing 17.1 million people every year – that’s more than victims of cancer, HIV and AIDS and malaria. Overeating, lack of exercise, unhealthy diets and high blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels are all factors which can trigger heart disease and threaten our own lives, and those of loved ones. Heart Day was set up to drive home the message that heart problems can be prevented. The aim is to improve health globally by encouraging people to make lifestyle changes and promoting education internationally about ways to be good to your heart. This lesson is becoming increasingly relevant as reports of obesity, poor diet and physical inactivity in children and young people become more and more common. Events take place to promote healthy hearts. Charities and other organizations coordinate walks and runs, health checks, public talks, shows and exhibitions to name a few of the interesting and informative events which mark the day. So on Heart Day, get involved, eat your fruit and veg and get outside; both you and your heart will feel the benefits." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #linkinbio #lpt #wp #fb #tweet #twitter #follow #like #world #heart #worldheartday #ig #insta #share #pop #health #care #tagsforlike #buffer #ticker #awareness #beat #sound #heartbeat #celebratelife . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Wednesday September 28, 2016 is Ask A Stupid Question Day. “We’ve all done it, had that question we wanted to ask that just sounded astoundingly stupid. We’re embarrassed that it even occurred to us, and worse, that we didn’t know the answer when it seemed so simple. The truth is there is no such thing as a stupid question, except the one that you choose not to ask. We never learn anything if we’re afraid to ask the question to begin with, whether that’s by researching it or asking someone who might know. This day encourages you to overcome your fear of sounding uneducated, and opening yourself to learning by asking your stupidest questions. During the 1980’s a day was created, by teachers, dedicated to letting students ask the questions they were most ashamed of. By making a place that was safe for all questions, they were encouraging them to open up and share their curiosity with the class, without the fear of being ridiculed. The kind of questions that get asked cover an incredibly diverse amount of topics, from the philosophical “What if the hokey pokey really is what it’s all about?”, to the more practical “Is the nose the center of the face?” There’s even more questions that are equally odd like “Why do we press harder on a remote control when the batteries are going dead?” and the humors “What does cheese say when it gets its picture taken?” . This day is celebrated by digging into your brain and asking those questions that occur to you while you’re standing in the shower, or are simply pondering the meaning of life. Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to get out there and ask it and encourage others to do so too. Want to keep it anonymous? Get together with a bunch of friends and write your questions down on a slip of paper, and put it into a hat, then pull them out randomly and ask them of the group and see what kind of answers you get." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #blog #question #ask #askastupidquestion #askastupidquestionday #stupid #wp #fb #share #ig #insta #follow #like #love #tweet #twitter #tagsforlike #tag #awesome #onlyright #linkinbio #lpt #smart . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Tuesday September 27, 2016 is Tourism Day. “Travel has been said to broaden the mind, exploring the world and seeing the broad vistas and cultures that the people of the world offer. Tourism can describe travel for pleasure both foreign and domestic, and has been happening as long as long as mankind. This day is your opportunity to broad your own world a little, find a location you’ve always wanted to make time to visit, and finally get around to making time to do it. Tourism has been a part of the human experience as long as there have been distant places to go and experience. It affords opportunities to learn new languages, experience different cuisines, and generally see what there is to see. Tourism Day was established by The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) to promote sustainable, responsible, and universally accessible tourism. Tourism benefits both the tourist and the locations that they visit, and is one of the major drivers of economic growth. To this end they’ve put together the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism, to help increase the benefits of tourism while minimizing its impact and protected the people, cultures, and environments of the locations people go to visit and experience. Tourism Day is best celebrated by digging into your book of dreams and finding that place in the world you most wish to go. If you’re unable to get yourself there now, plan for the future and take a closer trip to get yourself into the groove of going out, seeing the world, and travelling. If you live in a tourist destination, you can get yourself involved in how tourism works in your area and see what you can do to help protect your local heritage, cultural sites, and help share the wonders and history of your area with those who come to see it." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #tourism #tourismday #travel #visit #broadenhorizons #share #wp #fb #beautiful #blog #linkinbio #lpt #tweet #twitter #follow #like #tagsforlike #love #awesome #seetheworld #experience #wonders #history #pop #destiny #opportunity . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Fortunately, the annually-celebrated Ancestor Appreciation Day gives people a reminder to learn more about those who came before us. The internet can be a wonderful tool when it comes to researching genealogy and various online resources will help you to find records of your family’s history, learn about your ancestors and their way of life and even create a detailed family tree. Building a more complete picture of your relatives and their history can help to promote a greater appreciation for life and form a better understanding of the individual journey your family has been on.

Unsurprisingly, this day is held at different times of the year within different parts of the world. Still, the overall intention is the same. As all of us are leading increasingly hectic schedules, this day is intended to give us a bit of leisure time outside of the “hustle and bustle” of our routines.

Since those early comic book appearances, Batman has grown into one of the world’s best-loved and most recognizable fictional characters, and is the focal point of television shows, animated cartoons, video games and Hollywood blockbusters.

For couples that plan exchanging Love Notes, then doing so in unpredictable ways can make the whole day a fun experience.

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Sunday September 25, 2016 is Cooking Day. “We rush and we scramble trying to make it through our day, rushed for breakfast, rushed for lunch (a half hour? You have to be kidding!) and exhausted for dinner. Who has time to cook anymore? Do we even know how anymore? This day reminds us that there’s nothing that quite matches the flavor and comfort of a delicious home cooked meal, and that learning how to cook is an important skill to enhance our health and pass tradition on to our friends and family. It used to be that the home cooked meal was the only meal that was eaten on a regular basis, with take out and fast food being a rare treat rather than a staple of family life. Boxed meals and TV Dinners were equally unheard of, they were the province of the single male or the housewife who just never quite learned how to prepare a proper meal for her family. These days such gender stereotypes may be on their way out, but boxed foods and instant meals are very much more in. This day seeks to change all that, by reintroducing the concept of the home cooked meal to the family, or just to the lives of the bachelor(ette). Taking the time to learn how to cook a proper meal does a lot for the individual, from allowing you to express yourself through your meals, to being able to show someone that you care for them. Often it can even be cheaper to prepare a meal for your family than to rely on boxed goods and instant meals. Start with getting in your kitchen and finding out what tools you have available, and start figuring out what you can prepare. There are a ton of different websites out there with a variety of different recipes and ways of preparing meals. Cooking Day is your chance to start preparing delicious meals from fresh ingredients.

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Saturday September 24, 2016 is Save Your Photos Day. “Photographs, whether digital or physical, are an important part of our history and collection of memories. Whether they were passed down from our grandparents and parents or were created out of a personal passion for photography, these valuable artifacts represent days and moments in our lives and those of loved ones that can’t be reclaimed if lost. Every year thousands of photos are lost to natural disasters, fires, and other mishaps, this day reminds you to safeguard these treasures. This day was started with the purpose of educating people on the ways to organize, share, and protect their memories from being lost to accidents and mishaps of all sizes. What it means to save your photos has changed as time and technology have advanced, it used to mean keeping them in a safe weatherproof case high above the ground so they could be protected from floodwater. Now there are tons of options to protect your photographic memorabilia, and this day reminds you to take that extra time to keep them safe. The first thing you want to do is get all of your photos organized, everything from your digital images to your oldest Polaroid’s, and start looking into ways to protect them. One of the ways that’s strongly suggested is to digitize all your photos, you can do this by setting up a special photography rig to take clear, complete photos of your images. Once they’re in digital format you can take them and upload them to one of a wide variety of cloud storage options. Photos were meant to be shared, so get together with your friends and family and share the stories in your photos, introduce people to family members or friends that they haven’t met or haven’t seen in years, and take a walk down memory lane. Save Your Photos Day is also about saving your memories, and memories are best saved by being shared." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #saveyourphotosday #saveyourphotos #photo #save #digital #physical #wp #fb #blog #follow #like #linkinbio #lpt #tweet #twitter #buffer #ig #insta #awesome #memories #ancestor #tagsforlike #love #pop . @Instagram @sharpharmade

It is held on the same day each year to coincide with the birth date of Professor Karl-Axel Ekborn (born 23rd September 1907, died 1977). This eminent Swedish neurologist first wrote and described the disease in 1945. Since then, a lot has been learned about its symptoms although (to date) there is no known primary cause. It may be associated with dopamine or blood iron levels. Characterized by urges to move the legs even when at rest, it can also sometimes occur in the arms. Secondary causes include some medication or other pre-disposing medical conditions. International Awareness Day aims to increase understanding of RLS and the jerky movements and in some cases distress caused. A cure is still being sought. In 2013, the North Carolina (USA) proclaimed that this day should be observed by all citizens." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #restlesslegsawarenessday #restlesslegsyndrome #restlesslegs #wp #fb #blog #tweet #twitter #share #tagsforlike #linkinbio #lpt #follow #like #ig #insta #buffer #health #awareness #international #fit . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Friday September 23, 2016 is Hug a Vegetarian Day. “It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.” – Albert Einstein "There are people in the world who believe that there is no reason that mankind should go on eating animals, and there’s plenty of arguments to support this stance. Both the environment and our health can benefit from excluding meat and animal products from our diets and living on all plant derived food. Additionally, there’s a lot of cruelty in today’s meat industry, and this amount of suffering can be alleviated by fewer people eating meat. This day honors those who have taken this step to live a cruelty free life by removing meat from their diet. The history of this day is tied to the history of PETA, the organization that founded it. For people who don’t know, PETA means “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. ”It has grown and become a very well-known symbol for the fight against animal cruelty. Hug A Vegetarian Day was established to show recognition and appreciation for those that have made the, often difficult, transition to a meat free and animal-product free lifestyle. Being a vegetarian isn’t always easy, your food options tend to be limited at restaurants, and there’s a strange social hostility against those who choose to not consume animals. So give these brave souls a hug to thank them for the animal lives they save, and the difficulties they sometimes face in their race to save our animal friends. PETA sponsors a hug pledge program, where you can sponsor with a pledge to give hugs to all the Vegans and Vegetarians you meet. You could always start there, or just go out and hug the vegetarians and vegans you know and thank them for living a cruelty free life and honoring our fellow animals rather than consuming them." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #tweet #twitter #wp #fb #ig #insta #linkinbio #lpt #buffer #share #pop #follow #like #tagsforlike #vegetarian #hug #hugavegetarianday #awesome #love . @Instagram @sharpharmade

These animals spend most of their lives in trees and even sleep aloft. When foraging, they mostly nocturnal but also forage in the gloaming hours of dusk and dawn. Red pandas roam the Eastern Himalayas. These rust-colored creatures are experiencing a loss of nesting trees and bamboo, leading to a decline in the population. With less than 10,000 in the wild efforts are doubled every year to help these little firefoxes! . So head to your local zoo and support those who are helping saves these loveable creatures habitat, but keep your eye peeled they can be hard to spot. Spending a lot of their time in tree’s they are often difficult to see in their enclosures. Red pandas typically grow to the size of a house cat, though their big, bushy tails add an additional 18 inches to their size. Red pandas have a taste for bamboo but, unlike their larger relatives, they eat many other foods as well—fruit, acorns, roots, and eggs.

The celebration of Gratitude Day allows both individual citizens and organisations within wider society to celebrate the broad meaning of gratitude in a variety of ways. The celebration started in 1965 in Hawaii when an international gathering decided that it would be a good idea to have one day per year to formally express gratitude and appreciation for the many wonderful things to be found in the world. Following the meeting in Hawaii, many attendees marked Gratitude Day on 21st September 1966 when back in their own countries. Ever since then, the number of people celebrating Gratitude Day across the world has grown and grown. The awareness of the benefits of having time in one’s life for gratitude, appreciation and positive reflection have become increasingly apparent. The hope of the founders of Gratitude Day is that by taking time, one day a year, to reflect on the many amazing things we have in our lives, it would positively impact our well-being and make us happier, more contented people." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' #fit #gratitudeday #gratitude #wp #fb #awareness #blog #tweet #twitter #buffer #tagsforlike #follow #like #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome #love #appreciate #thanks #thankful #thankyou #indebted . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Making peace with one person today, even if it is just with yourself, is a fitting way to mark the day. Light a candle, reflect, forgive and enjoy being tranquil. Parents, do you reward your children when they share toys and help each other? Learning how to solve disputes without aggression is a great way to enjoy peace day.

Monday September 19, 2016 . Arrrr, ye scurvy cockroacches; drag yer mangly keesters out o bed an' follo' me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . YES, it's 'Talk Like A Pirate Day! Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho! . "Yar harrr! Ahoy there ye lily livered blaggards! It be Talk Like A Pirate Day, and that means it’s time for pillaging and imbibing of rum! Pirates have been all the rage in recent years, and out of that rage came an insane and completely piratical idea. There should be a day dedicated to keeping the piratical language alive, and more importantly the piratical tradition. It was June 6, 1995, and there was a group of men playing racquetball, and throughout they were shouting encouragement to each other. On this particular day, they started shouting piratical slang at each other. From there it just kind of took on a life of its own, and they realized by the end of the game that it was necessary that they establish a holiday to celebrate that encouraged the use of such a fine vernacular. The first thing they needed was a date; so they selected one. For the next seven years they honored this holiday, in relative obscurity, until they happened upon the email address of one Dave Barry, a syndicated columnist and author of a great number of books. He also happened to be hilarious, like any good pirate should be. From there it’s all history, Dave Barry promoted the holiday, and it’s been one amazing year after another as people all over the country celebrate this auspicious holiday.

For many the day involves being more attentive to loved ones, but it can really be used as a catalyst for treating any people with a more polite approach. There are no rules surrounding ways in which you could celebrate this year, it’s really down to you. You could take your wife or husband out for a romantic meal, you could visit an elderly relative or you could endeavor to be more encouraging to others. Of course, respect isn’t something that should only be given once a year and hopefully the day will inspire people to think more about how they treat others all year around.

This celebration of one of the most iconic and delicious foods of the USA, has been taking place every year since the early part of the Roaring 20s era. Cheeseburger day is marked in a number of different ways. One of the most common ways it’s celebrated is by major and local fast-food chains offering free cheeseburgers to customers alongside other special offers. Usually the free offers have some sort of limit to prevent people from taking advantage of the generosity. This may be limiting the free cheeseburgers to one per customer, to only the first ten thousand visitors to the fast food store, or through making them available only for a one or two hour period on the day. To mark the day, many burger makers will use their creativity and culinary skills to make new variations on the traditional cheeseburger. This usually involves using premium types of cheese, other meats and a variety of unusual garnishes." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #blog #burger #cheeseburger #cheese #food #foodporn #tasty #snack #delicious #wp #fb #ig #insta #linkinbio #lpt #pop #tweet #twitter #share #tagsforlike #buffer #burgermaker #burgermaking #eat #follow #like . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Its purpose is to promote US beekeeping, the beekeeping industry and honey as a natural and beneficial sweetener. The journey of honey begins with humble honey bees. Whether buzzing in their hives or foraging for nectar in wide open fields, honey bees are a critical component of today’s agricultural market. They perform the vital function of pollination, or the transferring of pollen from plant to plant, thus fertilizing the plants and enabling them to bear fruit. In fact, about one-third of the U.S. diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants and honey bees are responsible for about 80 percent of that process. Major crops that depend on honeybees for pollination consist of almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries – the list goes on and on." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #blog #honey #honeymonth #bee #wp #fb #ig #insta #tweet #twitter #buffer #follow #like #pop #linkinbio #lpt #tagsforlike #sweet #sticky #tasty #pollinate #beekeeping #beefarm #pollen #hive #honeybee #fertilizer . @Instagram @sharpharmade
Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! . Saturday September 18, 2016 is Water Monitoring Day. "Water is an absolute essential of human life, and every form of life that we know of requires it to exist. But water is also a universal solvent, collecting all the elements of its environment, and from there carrying it directly into our homes and bodies. This day was established to encourage and educate people on how to monitor the components of the water in their local area. Water pollution is a serious problem. This day was created by America’s Clean Water Foundation in 2003 with the intent of being a program that reached out to people all over the globe to raise awareness of water pollution issues and get people to test their local bodies of water. Take a look at the water coming out of your tap, for most of us this means we’re seeing water from a municipal water source that is monitored and treated against pollution and disease by government authorities. But how clean and safe is it really? While most of us believe our tap water to be safe, there are occurrences like those in Flint, Michigan that reveal that we can’t always trust even our city water to be completely safe for us to drink. If you have a well, then you’re in a situation that’s both better and worse. Wells are especially subject to the changes in the environment and the things that get into our soil and groundwater. They should be monitored more frequently just to be sure your water is clean and safe. This day is your reminder that it’s time to check your water. Testing kits are available from a lot of resources, including local hardware stores. If you live in the city, you can often get your water checked free of charge by calling your water company. Be sure to ask them for the results so you can report them on the many water reporting sites exist. This way your entire community can get involved in making sure everyone has access to clean fresh water." . ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year'. #fit #water #watermonitoringday #check #monitor #wp #fb #blog #tweet #twitter #buffer #follow #like #tagsforlike #linkinbio #lpt #health #necessary #ig #insta #pop . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Follow Me On Instagram at sharpharmade! . Saturday September 17, 2016 is Coastal Cleanup Day. "Every year thousands of tons of garbage winds up in the oceans, with 60% of that being composed of plastic material. Plastics especially last a very long time in the ocean, and are in such abundance that there are 46,000 individual pieces of plastic litter for every square mile of ocean. Plastics are very hazardous to marine life. This day encourages us to get out to our beaches and help to limit this problem by cleaning up the garbage that has washed up on shore, and left by visitors. Trash in the water impacts the world on many levels, including harming wildlife, humans, and impacting the livelihood of those who work on the ocean. It causes economic damage by affecting tourism and recreation and the money they bring into those communities that are the ocean shore. The Ocean Conservatory knows that solving these issues requires bold initiatives and eliminating the sources of the trash that damages the ocean. Empowering people to take an active role in the preservation and cleaning up of the ocean are important parts of helping conservation of the ocean. By spreading tips and techniques to help reduce trash they help people everywhere aid the cleanup of our oceans. There’s a lot of options out there, starting with something as simple as taking a day at the beach and carrying a roll of garbage bags. Clean up the mess on the beach and help to reduce the amount of garbage that gets into the ocean by hauling it away. You can also check in with the Ocean Conservatory to get tips and tricks to help you be more conscientious about your lifestyle and the effect it has on the ocean.

"With their origins as a humble peasant dish from the colder European climates of England, Bavaria and Austria, apple dumplings have crossed the Atlantic and spread their sweet smell to the New World. Over the centuries, they have become an internationally loved treat found in many grandmothers’ cookbooks and certainly worth of their own day of celebration. Originally, apple dumplings used to be boiled and steamed, and the word itself comes from German dampf, meaning steam. Nowadays, this aromatic dish is typically baked and stuffed with spiced and sweetened Granny Smith apples, previously cored and peeled. The crucial spice is cinnamon, though nutmeg and lemon zest are popular as well. People across Europe and Northern America bake the dumplings for dessert all the time during the apple harvest season, but they also enjoy them year round using dried apples if necessary. Revisit the smells of your childhood and celebrate the Apple Dumpling Day by serving this rustic treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drenched in decadent caramel sauce." ^sPm - #sharpharmade From 'Days of the Year'. #fit #wp #fb #blog #follow #like #share #appledumpling #appledumplingday #apple #dumpling #peasant #dish #tweet #twitter #buffer #tagsforlike #dessert #linkinbio #lpt #tasty #awesome #delicious #dessert #icecream . @Instagram @sharpharmade

"Apples are absolutely delicious, and they’re a healthy addition to anyone’s diet (unless you’re allergic). The history of the apple goes back a long way, and can be traced all the way back to present-day Turkey, and from there they’ve spread out across the entire world to become one of the most ubiquitous fruits ever. This day has its roots in thousands of cultural celebrations around the globe where the apple is honored. Apples are delicious, and are part of the identity of many countries food cultures. Consider the American Apple Pie, so much a part of their identity that it to state something is truly, fundamentally American, people have been known to state “As American As Apple Pie.” Apple dumplings, Apple Custards, Caramel Apples at Halloween, these delicious fruits appear all over the map as part of peoples favorite treats. Ireland was even known to make a Beef Apple Stew that decidedly had its own flavor pallet, sweet instead of savory. This day encourages you to share in these experiences, and perhaps create some of your own. The best way to celebrate is right there in the name. Eat an apple! And there are so many ways to enjoy them, including straight off the tree, sliced and dipped in peanut butter, caramel, or dusted with cinnamon. Of course the best way in our opinion is to consume them as part of that delicious treat, the apple pie. You want to top it off with the ultimate topping? A hot slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream can’t be beat." ^sPm - #sharpharmade From 'Days of the Year'. #fit #blog #internationaleatanappleday #eatanappleday #eat #apple #follow #like #wp #fb #lpt #linkinbio #international #tweet #twitter #share #tagsforlike #buffer #ig #insta #tasty #awesome #fruit #snack #americanpie . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Follow Me On Instagram at sharpharmade! . Saturday September 17, 2016 is Constitution Day. “Constitution Day falls on 17th September, the anniversary of the official signing of the US constitution in 1787. The document stood as the result of tireless work and compromise between the delegates of the Constitutional Convention – basically to bring about an agreement between the states which would allow a central government the power to enforce its decisions and allow the USA to stand as an international force, while maintaining a reasonable level of independence within the separate states. Of course, to this day the constitution of 1787 has formed the basis for the development and running of the USA as we know it, priding itself on its roots in democracy, rights and the social contract. Certainly some aspects of the constitution have been contested over the years as attitudes change over time – key issues including slavery and women in employment, while the core elements have remained. Education about the constitution is hugely encouraged, particularly on Constitution Day. Schools and educational establishments receiving any form of federal funding are required to teach the history of the American constitution on this day, but more than this many establishments such as universities and colleges look to celebrate the constitution by holding celebratory leisure events including ‘Constitution Trivia Quizzes’ and community fairs. Constitution based merchandise is also made available in different forms from free paperback copies to t-shirts with constitution quotes. So get involved with the learning this Constitution Day and find out about the history and background of the constitution that defines the USA – and once you’ve done that, you can buy the t-shirt!" ^sPm - #sharpharmade From 'Days of the Year'. #fit #constitution #american #blog #wp #fb #ig #insta #share #buffer #linkinbio #lpt #follow #like #tweet #twitter #pop #awesome #blessed #tagsforlike #usa #landofthefree #america . @Instagram @sharpharmade

Friday September 16, 2016 is Step Family Day. “Things have changed a lot in the past decades, where once marriage was a life-long institution & divorce practically unheard of, now more than half of all marriages end in divorce. This isn’t as bad a thing as it sounds, as many of those ‘lifelong marriages’ were held together in spite of internal abuse, general unhappiness, & worse due to societal pressures. Regardless of your opinion on divorce & marriage, something good has come from this new paradigm, & that’s the step family. This day recognizes all those who live in blended families. Being part of a step family can be really challenging, you’re coming into a place with people that weren’t part of your family before, & suddenly they’re uncles, sisters, brothers, even parents to you. How confusing must it be for people who yesterday weren’t related at all to suddenly be considered your siblings? That being said, growing up with a step family can be really rewarding, especially when everybody works together to overcome the challenges & create an amazing blended family. To make things even more difficult, if you’re part of a step family, it almost certainly means that you’ve recently had to deal with going through a divorce. This brings up all sorts of challenges, jealousy amongst siblings & birth parents, & the hostilities that doubtless led to the end of the previous marriage. These certainly aren’t part of everyone’s experience, & in fact they don’t have to be the experience that you have. Step families come together every day that are strong & act like an extended family rather than a divided one. This day is dedicated to appreciating those who have joined your family, & educating yourself on the challenges you face so you can overcome them together. Start the day off by telling your step family that you love them. Then spend the day with them working to build your relationship further." ^sPm - #sharpharmade From 'Days of the Year' . #fit #stepparent #step #parent #wp #fb #blog #ig #insta #tweet #twitter #buffer #tagsforlike #pop #follow #like #family #blended #lpt #linkinbio . @Instagram @sharpharma

No more are we tied to reading books in the old format with two covers and hundreds of pages, no more do hundreds of trees have to die each year to bring literature to people from every walk of life. With the invention of the eBook we have reached the point where the wonder of reading is available to anyone with a computer or portable electronic device. It’s become a huge industry, with devices like Kindle, Nooks, and apps available on many types of devices like cell phones and tablets. The most obvious way to celebrate is by reading an eBook. But you can go so much further than that, take a bike ride with your tablet out to your favorite place and sit in the park, on the docks, in the forest, or wherever your favorite reading hideaway is and enjoy the lightweight convenience of reading your book on an electronic device. Reading an eBook allows you options totally unlike those of reading a normal book, where with a physical book you’d have to bring a light and a magnifying glass if the print was too small, with your mobile device you can just increase the font size and brighten the background. You can even read an eBook in circumstances you couldn’t read a normal book, like tucked away under your blankets in the dark, no flashlight required. International Read An eBook day is a tribute to the growing future of electroncis in our lives, and they’re now serving as the foundation of supplying educational, technical, and even entertainment oriented books in every day and every format. Even the instruction manuals that come with many of our new devices are PDF eBooks, and most video games no longer provide a physical book, it’s all online." ^sPm - #sharpharmade From 'Days of the Year'. #fit #internationalreadanebookday #international #read #book #ebook #wp #fb #ig #insta #share #tagsforlike #tweet #twitter #buffer #linkinbio #lpt #pop #world #beautiful #awesome . @Instagram @sharpharmade
