Wi-fi is being cranky again! It's no wonder I pick up the phone to make a call, there was so much static I could hardly hear the call ringing through.

National Hair Day gives the nod to all the styles, products, tools and people who keep our hair healthy and looking its best. Whether we are seeking a new cut or we’ve found the perfect one, we want to keep it looking as fresh as it was when we left the salon. The right styling tools and hair care products go a long way toward maintaining a healthy, luxurious hairstyle. From fine and thin to thick and course, there are products out there to curl, straighten, repair, lift, enrich, volumize, moisturize, restore, hold and sculpt! Creating unique hairstyles is an art form and health regime, too. NuMe founded National Hair Day on October 1, 2017, to celebrate styling tools and hair care products that make our hair outstanding allowing us to feel our most beautiful selves.

National Fire Pup Day, recognizes the canine firefighters that have long been members of fire departments across the country. While the Dalmation’s origin is unknown, their use in firehouses began during the 1700s. Trained as a carriage dog, the Dalmatian’s agility transferred quickly to horse-drawn fire engines. In the days of the horse-drawn fire carts, they provided a valuable service, having a natural affinity to horses. The Dalmatians would run alongside the horses, in front of or beneath the wagon axles and clear the way for safety. Long after the red engines replaced horse-drawn wagons, the Dalmatian remains a recognizable tradition in fire stations across the country. They serve as firehouse mascots, educate the public about fire safety and represent past fire pups in honor of their heroism.

National Homemade Cookies Day! If you are looking for an excuse to bake some homemade cookies, look no further. Can you smell them now? Will it be peanut butter, chocolate chip or snickerdoodle? Whatever the recipe you mix up, enjoying them fresh from the oven with a cold glass of milk and family will make National Homemade Cookies Day even better. Experiment by trying a new recipe or maybe an old one to share fond memories with the next generation.

National Consignment Day! As the seasons change and our lives evolve, so do our styles and budgets. National Consignment Day offers a way to elevate both. The new holiday celebrates consignment as the smart, sustainable way to shop, earn money and extend the lifecycle of your items. In everything from designer clothes to evening gowns and fine jewelry, last year’s blue jeans and the never-worn is the opportunity for cash in your pocket. Conversely, is your wardrobe looking a little thin? Update it by shopping consignment, which offers new and gently used, name-brand items for a fraction of the retail price. Another bonus: nothing ends up in the landfill. Exchanging someone else’s fashion sense for your own keeps the cycle of good taste going.

Child Health Day is a United States Federal Observance Day. Each child deserves to be the healthiest he or she can be. On National Child Health Day, we are reminded of all the ways children grow healthy and strong. From the food they eat to the words they hear, children require support and opportunities to grow. Each year since 1928, under a Joint Resolution of Congress, the President of the United States has proclaimed Child Health Day. This day was originally observed on each May 1 until 1960 when the date was changed to the first Monday in October of each calendar year. In a response to a plea from both the American Federation of Labor and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs to proclaim the day, United States President Calvin Coolidge was the first president to issue a Child Health Day Proclamation while the resolution was still pending in Congress. 👩‍🚒🚒🐕🍫🍪 Sending hugs with chocolate chip cookies with walnuts!🐶💕🍂💕
