National Give Something Away Day – July 15, 2021👛
Imagine a day when you could clean house and get rid of clutter, show someone that you care, gift small things to strangers, and generally making the world a better place. Yes, this day does, in fact, exist and on July 15 we celebrate National Give Something Away Day!
HISTORY OF NATIONAL GIVE SOMETHING AWAY DAY
It’s better to give than to receive, and this is the aim behind National Give Something Away Day. “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” doesn’t literally mean junk or trash, but items that can serve someone else better. The day encourages people to give freely to others without expecting anything in return. This is also a good way to declutter and pass on things that no longer fit us or are useful to us.
Most of us undoubtedly have way more items than we need. National Give Something Away Day was established on July 15, 2015, by Linda Eaton Hall-Fulcher, a self-proclaimed giver. On the day’s Facebook page, Linda advocates giving back to the world. According to her, this day is for everyone who cares. It advocates for giving to friends, family, and the less fortunate; for mindful consumerism; and for being more aware of our carbon footprint.
Giving is the simplest act to exist that can brighten up another’s day, and at times really bring about a positive change. Whether it is something small like giving a compliment, giving your friend a jacket of yours that she really likes, or donating clothes to the less fortunate, these little things can have a big impact.
Even though giving is a selfless act, the reward goes both ways. We benefit from feeling good about giving and making someone’s day, and at the same time, we also let go of items that we no longer need and are just lying around. We also learn to be grateful for all our blessings and it makes us feel like responsible people who are improving the community.
National Clean Beauty Day – July 15, 2021🧼️
July 15 is National Clean Beauty Day, to celebrate the clean beauty movement — products that are mindfully created, produced with healthful ingredients, sustainably and ethically sourced and made with the health of our bodies and the environment in mind. National Clean Beauty Day is the brainchild of Juice Beauty — the ‘OG’ of this movement as named by ELLE, Cosmo, Forbes and more (at which time the Juice Beauty team quickly dubbed OG “Original Green” brand). The antioxidant-rich skincare & plant-based makeup brand has been challenging the decades-long status quo in the beauty industry by pioneering and radically transforming the chemistry of cosmetics. Celebrating its 15th Birthday, Juice Beauty started National Clean Beauty Day to raise awareness about the use of organic plant-based ingredients, how they can have better efficacy than conventional ingredients, as well as the avoidance of harmful and unnecessary ingredients in beauty products. The brand, and the movement they spearhead, use authentically organic ingredients to create products with clinically validated age defy and blemish clearing benefits. Their list of “never use” cosmetics ingredients numbers into the thousands as they will never use an ingredient that can be potentially harmful to humans, animals, or the planet. Click here for more information. Juice Beauty’s formulations are based around antioxidant-rich, certified organic, botanical juices as a base rather than petroleum. Their chemists then add powerful plant-based ingredients to that base to achieve the highest efficacy in age defy and blemish clearing skincare on the market.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL CLEAN BEAUTY DAY July 15, 2020 may be the inaugural celebration of National Clean Beauty Day, but its roots go back more than 15 years. Wellness expert and serial entrepreneur Karen Behnke had spent years in the wellness industry building one of the first corporate wellness companies that she started in the early 1980’s; and Karen served on various Board of Directors of fitness companies and more. But as she worked to grow the wellness industry focused on fitness and nutrition, she had not paid much attention to her own personal care products. That is until, at the age of 40 while pregnant with her first child and concerned about skin absorption, Karen developed a keen interest in the ingredients found in the beauty products she was using. She was stunned to find that both her expensive department store and inexpensive drug store products contained potentially harmful ingredients. Over the next few years Karen set her sights on changing not only her personal care regimen but she wanted to affect change in the entire beauty industry. For more than five years, she worked with PhD chemists, physicians, microbiologists, and other experts to solve the complex organic formulation challenges to create authentically organic products with high efficacy and to perfect Juice Beauty’s chemistry. Juice Beauty was founded in 2005 (when Karen purchased the trademark Juice Beauty) with a mission to create the highest performance skincare products but Karen vowed to never use an ingredient that could be harmful to humans, animals, or the planet. Juice Beauty’s revolutionary formulations started with a basic premise: Karen believed that by formulating with an antioxidant and vitamin-rich organic botanical juice base (rather than PEGS/petroleum derivatives or water) and combining with powerful skincare ingredients, it would yield better results than conventional or natural products. Multiple clinical tests proved her right. Juice Beauty, being the “OG” also has an organic farm in Sonoma County, California to bring ingredients truly ‘farm to beauty’. “Our farm brings Juice Beauty’s organic ingredients to life and allows us to more closely connect with our antioxidant-rich ingredients. The stunning 20-acre vineyard and olive grove serves as inspiration for future innovation and to provide ingredients for our products,” said founder Karen Behnke, who has dedicated her entire life to health, wellness, fitness and organic living. The Juice Beauty farm highlights Karen and the team’s California organic and wellness lifestyle and really brings to life how organically farmed ingredients can have higher antioxidant performance. Juice Beauty is also a leader in the sustainability movement. They are committed to sustainability practices across their packaging, manufacturing, sustainable headquarters, and solar powered farm.
National I Love Horses Day – July 15, 2021🐎
This National I Love Horses Day on July 15, we are not going to tell you to hold your horses because today is about going all out for horses. Horses are one of the most beloved and adored animals in the world. In fact, horses are in fourth place on the list of the world’s most popular animals. Horses have been very important for humankind for a while now, having been domesticated since ancient times. Due to their versatility, horses are used in a variety of fields, from agriculture and transportation to entertainment. Horse racing and show jumping also see horses showing off in front of cheering crowds.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL I LOVE HORSES DAY
National I Love Horses Day was created to highlight the importance of the animal in human history and development. Horses have been around for around 50 million years and they were domesticated by nomads in 4000 B.C. The animal is believed to have originated from North America, with increased traveling and globalization taking it to other parts of the world. These early horse breeds later became extinct on the American continent. According to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, today, there are many other horse breeds but all of them are believed to have descended from Equus caballus, including the populations of feral horses in the wild. Horses have 350-degree vision and are extremely social. They roam around with their own species as well as other animals. Furthermore, their aptitude in socializing makes them easy animals to breed.
In the old days, horses were domesticated and farmed for their meat and milk. The animal was an important source of sustenance in the central Asian steppes, where, to date, horses are bred for consumption. In some cultures, a mare’s milk was also fermented and enjoyed as an alcoholic drink. As human populations increased and commercialization started taking over, horses began being used to cultivate the land and other general agricultural settings. Because of the strength and endurance they displayed, horses were also being used for the transportation of goods and people over long and short distances. Over the years, horse racing and show-jumping contests also gained the attention of the public.
🧯️National Pet Fire Safety Day – July 15, 2021🐕
National Pet Fire Safety Day takes place every year on July 15, and it’s a day to learn how to keep your pet safe in a fire. For many of us, pets are our most precious asset so it makes sense that we would dedicate a day to keeping them safe during one of the scariest things we can imagine. It was started by the Kennel Club and ADT Security in 2009 to help pet owners learn safety measures to protect their beloved pets and homes from fire, and it’s a great opportunity to learn how to keep your fur baby safe.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL PET FIRE SAFETY DAY
While our animals are oftentimes the culprit behind devastating fires, it’s a little ironic that dogs (specifically dalmations) have become an American icon associated with firefighters today. Let’s briefly explore how that came to be. A few hundred years ago, dogs were trained to trot alongside horse-drawn wagons and protect their occupants (and horses) from harm. Dalmations quickly became the ideal carriage dog for their strength, vitality, fortitude, and size. They also had a reputation for getting along well with horses and were known to have a calming effect while firefighters were battling a blaze. Overtime as motorized fire trucks replaced carriages, Dalmatians and other fire pups were seen less aboard fire trucks and more as on-site firehouse residents and mascots.
Today, many firefighters have pet Dalmatians, and firehouses around the country still have Dalmatians as station dogs. However, Dalmatians aren’t the only dog in the firehouse. It’s become common for firefighters (and sometimes entire fire teams) to adopt dogs rescued from fires. These lucky pups, whatever their breed, become symbols of the resiliency, bravery, and fortitude of firefighters and the individuals they help. They also take important steps into education and helping firefighters demonstrate fire safety and emergency preparedness for schools and community groups across the country. Teaching that pets cause over 1,000 house fires each year in the United States and the preventive measures we can take to protect our beloved companions.
