Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Monday January 30, 2017 is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day. "This day is one of the most unnecessary holidays we can imagine! It’s a fantastic & fun toy that was created by accident, solely for the purpose of preserving delicate items through shipping. From there it’s become a therapeutic bonus prize in every shipping container, loved by men, women, children, and animals alike! If you’ve never had a piece of Bubble Wrap in your hands & just HAD to start popping it ... we’re not sure we want to know you. Okay, so it’s not a toy. Bubble Wrap was originally formed from two shower curtains being sealed together, & the inventors tried to market this as wallpaper. Ironically, this wasn’t the only misstep on its way to its true calling, the next thing they tried to market it as was greenhouse insulation, which was also unsuccessful. A year later they discovered its perfect purpose, & the line of Bubble Wrap brand packaging came to pass. It started off on an auspicious path with IBM being the first customer, shipping the IBM 1401 in air cushioned comfort out to its many customers. Each year Bubble Wrap hosts a ‘Young Inventor’ award that encourages them to find ways to use Bubble Wrap outside of packaging. Whether you need a Bubble Wrap door cover to help you keep out the dings, or a Bubble Wrap cushy wheelchair to ensure your loved ones are safe from every danger, these young inventors work every year to try to create the newest Bubble Wrap rage. This day can best be spent by taking a big old roll of Bubble Wrap & popping every single bubble in the sheet ... stress relief. One of our favorite ways to distress with Bubble Wrap is to take it and roll it in a tube, grab both ends of it, & twist as hard as we can, causing a torrent of pops to come forth. Maybe you can even spend the rest of the day coming up with new uses for Bubble Wrap yourself!" ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #bubblewrap #bubblewrapappreciationday #appreciation #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome #sharpharmade . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Wednesday January 18, 2017 is Winnie the Pooh Day. "One of the cuddliest holidays around has to be Winnie the Pooh Day, celebrated on the birthday of author A A Milne. It’s one special anniversary fans just can’t bear to miss! Every year, the occasion is marked with events such as teddy bears’ picnics, featuring plenty of honey on the menu. Winnie the Pooh first appeared on the printed page in 1926, together with friends Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. All of them were based on toys owned by the author’s son, who also featured in the famous stories as Christopher Robin. The character later starred in a series of much-loved Disney films. One extra-special way to mark the day is to visit Pooh Corner in Hartfield, East Sussex, where the books were written. You can pick up a map to follow in the characters’ footsteps, and even play a game of Poohsticks on the original bridge." #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #winniethepooh #winniethepoohday #pooh #poohbear #bear #christopherrobin #piglet #tigger #eeyore #disney #fit #follow #like #celebrate #awesome #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Tuesday January 17, 2017 is Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day. "Ahhh New Year’s Resolutions. They’re a great opportunity to really set ourselves up for some magnificent failures and disappointments, am I right? Well, there comes a time when you just have to acknowledge that your New Year’s Resolutions were unreasonable and unrealistic, and that time is a fortnight into the New Year! Rejoice in your new found freedom from torturous diets and horrible exercise regimes, pick up that pack of smokes and down another glass of wine. Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day sets you free from your first mistakes of the New Year! The History of Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day is as old as New Year’s Resolutions. In the inebriated, hopeful light of the dawn of the New Year, we all believe that the next year is going to be different, that we won’t go back to our old habits, and we won’t let things continue as they are. What a terrible shame that, year after year, New Year’s Resolutions are shown to be about as effective as a hole-ridden umbrella is at keeping the rain out. Ditch those New Year’s Resolutions like a bad habit. They’re not really going to see you through the year anyway! Instead, as mentioned above, the best way to celebrate is by reevaluating your life as a whole, and start finding real and meaningful reasons to change, not just because it’s a New Year and that magically inspires you with Will and determination you didn’t have the year before. It’s also important to realize that some of your New Year’s Resolutions are just silly, limiting, or depressing. Some people swear to things like never falling in love again, and who needs that in their life? Get out there and start living your life and being satisfied with who you are, and if you aren’t genuinely satisfied, change it for that reason, and not because a new calendar has flipped over!" #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #ditchnewyearsresolutionsday #ditch # newyear #newyearsday #resolution #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome #beautiful . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Monday January 16, 2017 is Religious Freedom Day. "Religions & religious organizations have been responsible for a great deal of good being done in the world, from the founding of worldwide charity organizations to simply inspiring people to be kinder & humbler on a daily basis, as well as more sympathetic to the plight of his fellow man. Unfortunately, a characteristic of many religions is that their faithful often try to convert others to their #faith, & when those others refuse, the consequences can be grave. This is why it is enormously important to make sure religious #freedom is granted & protected to all, & this is why the Founding Fathers of the United States of America saw this as such. On Jan. 16, 1786, soon after the #United States came into existence as a sovereign nation, the Virginia General Assembly adopted Thomas Jefferson’s landmark Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. This #statute then became the basis for what we know today as the First Amendment, which guarantees religious freedom to all #people residing in the U.S.A. A good way to #celebrate this day is to do some research about what #life used to be like before religious freedom was protected, & every person had the right to #believe as he or she chose. “The Name of the Rose” is both an excellent book & an excellent movie, which depicts what life was like during the Inquisition, etc. “The Diary of a Young Girl”, written by Jewish teenager Anne Frank during the height of the Nazi persecution of Europe’s Jewish population is another; esp., when one thinks about innocent children like Anne who died horrible deaths for simply being of the wrong religion. It could also be interesting to have several friends of different faiths get together for coffee and discuss how positively religious freedom & the freedom to not practice any religion at all impact all lives & help make lives better. Religious freedom is a #wonderful thing, that should be fully appreciated & celebrated." #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #linkinbio #lpt #god #religion #firstadmendment #like #follow #share #wp #weebly #blog #pop #ig #insta #fr . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Sunday January 15, 2017 is Hat Day. "Wearing hats enable the person wearing them to be absolutely anything, and to bring a sprig of style to an outfit, and truly round it out. From protecting your head from the cold or heat of the day, to just expressing who you are to the world, Hat Day is a great day to sport your best headwear! Hats have been in the world since at least 3000 BC, as an image of a man wearing a hat of straw was discovered in a mural from that time. Since then, hats have served some incredibly diverse purposes, from simple protective wear to help those stuck out in the rain, cold, or hot sun, to indicating status and rank. Hats have undergone an immense amount of changes, with varieties appearing all over the world in every possible culture. Whether for the soldier protecting his skull from incoming damage, the lieutenant making sure that his troops know where to look for direction, or the dapper gentleman in the Top Hat on his way to the opera, everyone has a love and use for hats. Hat Day is the best time for you to break out your favorite headwear, and use them to make a huge impression. It would be impossible to list every possible use for hats here, but Hat Day is your time to really dig in deep and find out what all hats have to offer. Some of the most popular hats these days are animal hats, fuzzy animal head style hats that have long arms that dangle down to warm the ears, secure the hat to your head when tied, or just be adorable. Baseball caps are available that display far more than just team affiliation, they can share a message of spirituality, fandom for a particular franchise, or even display your favorite sport. How many fisherman do you know are out there on the banks of their favorite rivers, sports fishing with a hat that denotes their favorite brand of tackle?

And as it’s Strawberry Ice Cream Day, you don’t need to be named Ben or Jerry to celebrate – everyone can enjoy a bowlful! Variations of ice cream and fruit ices go back for thousands of years. As long ago as 3000 BC, people in China would serve their guests sweetened juices mixed with snow or ice shavings. Fruit ice creams continue to be extremely popular, with strawberry ranking third after vanilla and chocolate. This is not a surprise, considering how refreshing and mouth-wateringly delightful a bowl or cone of strawberry ice cream is! Celebrate its special day today with a trip to the ice cream parlor or grocery store and say a very berry hello to the sweet strawberry" ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #strawberry #strawberryicecream #strawberryicecreamday #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome #tasty #foodporn #sweet #cold #dessert #berry #mouthwatering . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Thursday January 12, 2017 is Kiss A Ginger Day. "Fiery red hair, pale skin, and eyes of blue or green. These are the defining characteristics of some of the most amazingly attractive human beings in existence. They were once held as being holy as they were believed to have stolen the very fire of the Gods and imbued their crimson locks with it. This day is your opportunity to steal a kiss from one of these amazingly attractive genetic rarities. This day was established in 2009 by Derek Forgie as part of a Facebook group, intended to offset the far less fun Kick A Ginger Day that takes place in November. After the events of this aggressive event, gingers everywhere were tormented and assaulted in schools all over the world. Redheads are some of the rarest expressions of genetics in the world, true red only being present in 1-2% of the population. While in some parts of the world this color hair is disparaged, and the origin of such phrases as “like a red-headed stepchild”, the rest of the world has an undying love affair with them. Red hair dye is one of the most popular hair care products, and it comes in a wide array of colors, including some never found in nature. As an interesting fact, while Ireland is heavily associated with red hair, those with red hair actually have an older origin. Red hair is a layover from the days of the Viking invasions, bring brought in from immigration and acts of heinous violence against the Vikings’ victims. So, just find one of these individuals and offer to give them a big old kiss as an appreciation for their unique and stunning hair color. Always make sure you have their permission. Or, if you want to be a bit more subtle with your following of this day, give all of your favorite redheads a Hershey’s kiss. Everyone loves chocolate, and even those of the ginger persuasion are no exception.

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Wednesday January 11, 2017 is Learn Your Name In Morse Code Day. "Morse Code was one of the most important innovations of communications the world has seen, serving as the foundation of one of the first high-speed communications networks in the world. Used for everything from semaphore communication, to flashing with lights, to drawing it out as a sort of code, and most importantly, the use of telegraphs to help transmit information across vast distances in the days before the telephone, it’s hard to understate the importance of Morse Code. Morse Code is attributed to three different inventors, Samuel F. B. Morse, Physicist Joseph Henry, and Alfred Vail, who all worked together to produce a system of transmitting information via Electric Telegraph. The result was Morse Code. Learn Your Name In Morse Code Day was created by someone known only as Brownielocks, and was done as part of trying to revitalize the love and recognition of this fading method of communication. While it’s no longer necessary to getting a Ham Radio License, it is still felt that it’s incredibly important to pass on, so that this versatile method of communication doesn’t disappear. Celebrating Learn Your Name In Morse Code Day is right there in the name! Learn your name in Morse Code! This can serve as an excellent way to reintroduce yourself to the language, and help add it to the number of ways you can share information with your friends and loved ones. Even across vast distances you can exchange information with nothing more complicated than a flashlight, a mirror, or any device that can make sounds of varying duration to mimic the long and short pulses used in the Morse Code alphabet. Never underestimate the value of having one more piece of communication in your tool kit, and let Learn Your Name In Morse Code Day broaden your linguistic horizons! We’d never be where we are today without it!" ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #learnyournameinmorsecodeday #linkinbio #lpt #learnyourname #learnyournameinmorsecode #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop . @instagram @sharpharmade

Yes, this day is when we celebrate the fantastic development that are bobblehead dolls! Whether you’re buying them for your favorite baseball team, or one of those commemorative presidential bobbleheads, this day is your opportunity to get out there & learn a bit about these iconic toys history! . Bobbleheads first came onto the scene over 100 years ago, being composed of a simple doll with a head attached by a spring, creating that signature bobble-head action. The first of these recognizable toys was actually thought to have been created in the mid 1800’s, when plaster cats with bobbing heads were all the rage. In the 1920’s, through the 1930's, the bobblehead came to sports, each being made exactly like the other ... then, being reborn in the 1960’s when they started producing custom faces representing the most popular players of the time, & growing in popularity and design over the ages. In the 1990’s, the industry once more saw a boom, with ever more customizable options being presented with each passing year. So, get out there and start your own collection! There are thousands of options available, and surely there will be one to fit your own personal taste and style. This day is a great opportunity to pick up a new tradition, and a new hobby. More than one family has had a bobblehead enthusiast who brought their own personal flair and style to gatherings, their vehicles, or just life itself. This day is also a popular time of year for Bobblehead conventions, where enthusiasts come together to share their rarest finds, their prized possessions, or just their goofiest Bobbleheads ever. This day is a great time to learn a little bit more about the crazy world we live in, and this iconic piece of American History." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #bobblehead #bobbleheadday #iconic #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome #bobbing #bobbinghead . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Friday January 6, 2017 is Cuddle Up Day. "Winter has the coldest days of the year so there’s many ways to stay warm. There are multiple benefits to cuddling with people, canines, and other pets. Cuddling releases oxytocin. This hormone alone has huge health benefits. Besides giving us warm and fuzzy feelings, oxytocin reduces pain. So when the cold has made those muscles and joints ache, cuddling can help reduce those aches and pains. Oxytocin also helps reduce heart disease, reduces blood pressure, stress, and anxiety. If it weren’t free, cuddling would probably be covered by health insurance because it’s such a huge health benefit! Physical touch can communicate trust, commitment, safety, and reassurance. This goes for human to human contact as well has human to pet contact. Cuddling can also boost sexual desire. Dopamine is released stimulating the brain to seek pleasure. But dopamine also can improve memory and focus as well. Cuddling also helps a mother better bond with her infant or toddler children. It also enables sleep, even when the mother might have difficulty sleeping with a newborn in the house. Cuddling can actually help with social anxiety which helps you have a positive outlook on the world. Cuddling doesn’t even have to be between you and your romantic partner. Don’t have someone to cuddle up with? Make an appointment for a massage. Studies show massage provides similar benefits. You can also go and hug your friends or play with your pets. If you don’t want to be so social or don’t have a furry friends, never fear friend! You can rub your own shoulders, take a warm bath or of course, get a massage. To celebrate, all we would have to do is go out, socialize with our friends, or hug our family. Play with our pets, cuddle up by the fire with our significant other, or listen to music." ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year' . #cuddle #cuddleup #cuddleupday #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #awesome #oxytocin #fuzzyfeeling #cuddleuptime #warmfeeling #dopamine #socialize . @instagram @sharpharmade

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade! Sunday January 1, 2017 is Polar Bear Swim Day. "Strip down to your bathing suit, take a few steps over the snow and ice covering the ground, and hurl your body into ice-cold water. Sound like fun? Well, there are plenty of people who think it does, and these people get together to to this every year! Sometimes it’s for charity and sometimes it’s just for a challenge, but either way, thousands of people worldwide take to the icy winter waters every year. These swims are understandably called “Polar Bear Swims”, and they usually take place in the sea. It’s actually quite simple to celebrate it; and take part in it! Find out where the nearest Polar Bear Swim Day will be organized, and sign up. You can help raise money for those who need it, meet new friends and make some incredible memories! However, you should keep in mind that human beings don’t have the fat and fur that polar bears have to protect them from the cold. Enter the water slowly so it’s not too much of a shock, and be sure to have a towel and dry clothes ready for as soon as you come out of the water. You should also warm your body up afterwards from the inside out with a hot drink or bowl of soup. The Polar Bear Swim is not right for everyone, as it triggers many intense bodily reactions—you may start to hyperventilate because of the inability to take a deep breath for the first 30 seconds or so, and your heartbeat and blood pressure will probably increase drastically. So if you have any heart condition or have the tendency to panic, you may be better off standing on the shore in your nice warm coat, hat and scarf, taking pictures and laughing at the people running right back out of the water as quickly as they ran into it. Either way, you will be able to be part of the fun!" ^sPm - #sharpharmade Fr 'Days of the Year.' #polarbearswimday #polarbear #polarbearswim #bear #polar #fit #follow #like #celebrate #enjoy #wp #fb #twitter #tweet #buffer #tagsforlike #share #pop #blog #linkinbio #lpt #ig #insta #freezing #swim #bathingsuit #awesome #awareness . @instagram @sharpharmade
