October 10th: National Curves Day, National Angel Food Cake Day, National Cake Decorating Day, National Handbag Day, World Mental Health Day, National Emergency Nurse’s Day, National Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work/School Day, and National Stop Bullying Day.

🌎National Curves Day! Its launch in 2015 was celebrated as year 1 as the groundwork commenced over 100 weeks prior via social media platforms. This was in efforts to stop body shaming while encouraging women to embrace all things plus positive. As the movement grew so did the urge and desire to empower men who faced challenges battling society’s norms to do the same. In 2017, it became COED (/inclusive) and the organization’s mission of Embrace.Encourage.Empower. attained equal purpose. Initially centered around fashion, to-date it encompasses so much more. Catch the skinny, since education is power, here’s the key! National Curves Day is in the community 365 days through collaborations and its global ambassadors promoting, participating in, and hosting all things plus: from fun sip and shops, empowerment panels, to health and wellness tips and classes. The annual celebration is always kicked off with a meet and greet housing the everyday curvy bombshell and dapper bomber to industry influencers from diverse backgrounds of employment and stature. The events are always confidence and self-love driven with an art twist. The pinnacle of these events is the Annual Honors & Fashion Gala, officially registered as #TheMetofPlus. The Honors and Fashion Gala is to highlight fashion, diversity, confidence and to thank industry innovators and powerhouses for their contribution to diversity. Attendance is highly encouraged as the experience can’t be re-lived through recap alone and this year in particular history is being made. Expect a fashion, beauty, wellness, fitness, networking, and branding experience, it’s something for everyone! Guest include top designers, celebrity models, bloggers, editors, media insiders, and +influencers from across the globe. Zak (KSecret Dunbar-Bell), Creative Director and CEO of Jon Marc Collection created National Curves Day in 2015 to encourage women (and now men also) to love who they are right where they are! Just shy of two years ago, National Curves Day, became Incorporated as a global, non-profit (COED) social organization that embodies inner peace, confidence, love for self and others through the foundation it was built on, “Embrace. Encourage. Empower.” for the curvy and plus community.

National Angel Food Cake Day! Originating in the United States and first becoming popular in the late 19th century, angel food cake was so named because of its airy lightness. It was said to be the “food of the angels”. Making angel food cake requires whipping egg whites until they are stiff then adding cream of tartar to the mixture to stabilize the egg whites. Additional ingredients are then folded into the egg white mixture. The cake is then usually baked in an ungreased tube pan leaving a hole in the middle of the cake. The center tube allows the cake batter to rise higher as it clings to all sides of the pan. After baking, the pan is inverted while cooling to prevent the cake from falling in on itself. Usually rather than frosting, angel food cakes are topped with a glaze or a sweet fruit sauce and a swirl of whipped cream.

🍰National Cake Decorating Day! Many professional cake decorators started their careers as hobbyists. It allows you to express yourself in edible form. We make or purchase decorated cakes for many of life’s events, from baptisms and birthdays to weddings and anniversaries. Decorated cakes help carry out the theme of any party or event.

👜National Handbag Day! Handbags come in many shapes and sizes. They can be the size of an envelope or almost as large as an overnight bag. They are available in every imaginable solid color and designs from leopard and zebra prints to calf skin and rhinestones. There truly is something for every taste and style. National Handbag Day was created by PurseBlog.com in 2012.

World Mental Health Day! This is a day for mental health education and awareness. Knowing what to say or what not to say to someone can go a long way toward helping to ensure their mental health. It was first observed in 1992 at the initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health, a global mental health organization with members and contacts in many countries.

👩‍⚕️🚑National Emergency Nurse’s Day! We take this day to say “thank you” to the emergency room nurses for their hard work, dedication, service and commitment to their patients and families and their loyalty to the emergency nursing profession. Emergency room nurses are the first people we see when we have an accident or a medical emergency. They work hard to put us at ease and eliminate pain and discomfort. This is a day to let them know just how important they are in keeping hospitals running smoothly. Sponsored by the Emergency Nurses Association since 1989, this day is part of Emergency Nurse’s Week.

🐻National Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work/School Day! This is a day to spend with your cuddly friend. Teddy will brighten up your day and bring a feeling of celebration to your office or classroom just by being there. Teddy bears have long been known to provide comfort to children, but they can do just as much for adults. Give Teddy a hug and see how much better he makes you feel.

National Stop Bullying Day, which is referred to by some as “Unity Day”. This annual designation is designed to bring awareness of the need to stand up against and put an end to bullying. In 2009, eighteen sixth grade students from St. Stanislaus Kostka declared October National Stop Bullying Month, the second week of October National Stop Bullying Week and National Stop Bullying Day on the second Wednesday of October.

I love angel food cake, throw in some strawberries even better. Slap a little icing on a cake and that's decorating enough for me.

Sorry I have to stop here. I have an eye watering super bad. I think I mite have something in it. Better go rinse it out.

Sending decorating angel food cake hugs!🐶🐶💕🍂💕
