NATIONAL MUTT DAY We’ve heard people that are afraid of dogs refer to all dogs as “mutts.” Quite the contrary! A mutt is a dog of mixed or indeterminate breed. A mutt is also a stupid person or simpleton. How can you celebrate today? Take your mutt for a walk, take photos of him, paint him on a huge canvas and post on Facebook. Enjoy #pets #petlovers #petsmart #ArtEase123 #ArtEaseDillyDays

NATIONAL CHEESECAKE DAY People have repeatedly proclaimed our insanity here because none of us like cheesecake, but apparently it’s quite popular everywhere else.

NATIONAL CHICKEN WING DAY There was a time when chicken wings weren’t nearly as popular as today! NOW, chicken wings are even sold at national fast food chains, and served up all kinds of ways. How will you celebrate?

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR APPRECIATION DAY We should set aside time today to acknowledge and thank ALL the folks who keep our office supplies (printer, computer, servers) up and running!

TELL AN OLD JOKE DAY I get tickled just thinking about how much fun today is going to be! Laughter can be natural healing medicine for some, so let’s celebrate this day by telling as many OLD (audience appropriate) jokes we can and fill the air with happiness, laughter, silliness, fun.

NATIONAL JUNK FOOD DAY In the age of junk food being more affordable and more readily available than healthy foods, celebrating today should be a cinch! Go for it - eat all the sweets, candy, chips, fries, fast food, and other non-nutritional edible items you generally skimp on healthy eating days. JUST FOR TODAY! It ends tomorrow! Enjoy! :) #fastfood #diet #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 20, 2018

Celebrate today by not only indulging in one or two, but gifting someone with a surprise one! Make colorful drawings of lollipops, too. #candy #tasty #delicious #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 19, 2018
NATIONAL RASPBERRY CAKE DAY Today sounds like a tasty day for celebration. It’s raspberry season, so why not grab a fresh batch and make a tasty, semi-healthy raspberry cake today and share it with your family, neighbors, coworkers, patrons, and aspiring friends. Or make a red-white-blue smoothie, like we did using raspberries and other simple, healthy ingredients! https://www.artease123.com/mastertreats/red-white-blue-smoothie #foodbloggers #delicious #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays #delicious  JULY 18, 2018
NATIONAL HOT DOG DAY If eating hot dogs is something you enjoy, then maybe today’s YOUR day! According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, “First, specially selected meat trimmings of beef and/or pork - just like the meat you buy in your grocer's case - are cut or ground into small pieces and placed in a mixer. When poultry hot dogs are made, poultry trimmings are used.” Hmm. Sounds…appetizing… :) Maybe today you’ll enjoy them boiled, fried, or grilled, and topped with cheese, onions, mustard, ketchup, mayo, relish, or your favor toppings. Hot dogs also make fun coloring activities when layered with lots of toppings. Enjoy! #NationalHotDogDay #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 17 , 2018
WORLD EMOJI DAY As if we don’t already use emoji’s enough, today is set aside for us to explore all the emoji’s we choose! Do you know the difference in an emoticon (emotional icon) & an emoji? Emoticons were first created using numbers, letters, and symbols on the keyboard (read sideways) to convey body language and tone. Today, there’s an emoji for everything. Emoji away today! :)  JULY 16, 2018
GLOBAL HUG YOUR KIDS DAY Global Hug Your Kids Day is the day to, well, hug your kids…day! Everyone needs a hug (according to research) at least every once in a while. Make today a loving, warm, comforting, safe place in your arms for the kids. Give them a bit of attention and encouragement to go with those welcomed, deserving, open-arms hugs. #hugging #love #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 15, 2018
NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY Whether or not ice cream is healthy is debatable, but it seems most Americans enjoy a nice serving of ice cream, whether it’s vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and/or all the flavors in between. Go for a delicious scoop or two of ice cream today, in your favorite flavor, covered with your favorite toppings, and INDULGE AND ENJOY! You deserve it! :) Take a photo of your dessert creation prior to consumption because it may serve as a great photo for rending your own artistic masterpiece later. #yummy #goodeats #foodie #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 14, 2018
SHARK AWARENESS DAY Today is not a day to fear these “graceful” creatures, but to be more educated about them. Did you know that sharks have been on Earth for at least 420 million years!? Sharks, unlike most fish, don’t have bones, but cartilage. They have several ROWS of teeth and about 3,000 teeth! There are over 400 different species. And there's so much more to learn about how their unique bodies are made (inside and out) to glide through the ocean expertly, their superb night vision, unbelievable sense of smell, and detection capabilities. Take a little time today to illustrate a shark, or underwater habitat of a shark. #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 13, 2018
NATIONAL FRENCH FRIES DAY How hard can it be to celebrate today!? French fries can be found practically anywhere these days, the so-called "healthy" fries or otherwise. The first question is, WHICH style fries should you partake to celebrate? Steak cut, crinkle, straight, curly, tots, sweet potato, shoestring, waffle, or seasoned? The 2nd question: WHOSE fries should you choose today - McDonald's French fries, Chick-fil-a's waffle fries, homemade round-cut fries? Question 3 - what's your choice of condiment - classic ketchup, ranch dressing, honey mustard, Chick-fil-a Sauce!? Final question - anything else in/on there - smothered in melted cheese, topped with chopped hickory smoked bacon, covered in diced sautéed onions...? So many choices!!! INDULGE, and enjoy! :) #Chickfila #foodlove #hungry #tasty #dinner #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 12, 2018
NATIONAL PECAN PIE DAY What better way to pay homage to one of America’s oldest native nuts - PECANS - than to bake and/or intake a nice, warm, delicious slice of tasty pecan pie!? Share pecan pie with a friend, or just nibble on pecans if you're not into pies (like some of us are around here). #Yum #Yummy #GoodEats #Foodie #Instalove #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays  JULY 11, 2018
BLUEBERRY MUFFINS DAY Yesterday was "Pick Blueberries Day." Today is the day to use the blueberries you picked yesterday in a fun, tasty, delicious, wholesome way. How about making some homemade blueberry muffins while sharing time with family and friends? Or, if you don't have time to bake, how about making a fruit smoothie like we did to celebrate Independence Day (linked)? Either way, ENJOY! https://www.artease123.com/mastertreats/red-white-blue-smoothie #instalove #goodeats #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays #yum  JULY 10, 2018
PICK BLUEBERRIES DAY Today is a great day to spend with family picking one of the healthiest superfruits ever! Blueberries are high in antioxidants, high in fiber, can help manage diabetes, can help keep your heart healthy, and help fight various ailments. Even if you aren't near a blueberry patch, try picking up a fresh batch from your local health food grocer, and INDULGE! Artistically, color a blueberry bunch with the kids, or paint BLUE, & prep for using them tomorrow. #yum #healthy #ArtEase123 #fresh #snack #ArtEase123DillyDays |
