NATIONAL LAZY DAY

On August 10th, National Lazy Day gives us permission to relax and kickback. So, we’re going to be a bit lazy here.

As you can see, there is not much information regarding this annually celebrated holiday as we do not feel like doing any research. Actually, we do not feel like doing anything at all.  Consequently, we are in our hammocks with a couple of good books and glasses of lemonade and iced tea. Yes, it is a Lazy Day. We choose to be lazy rather than tell much more about this day.

You can’t teach people to be lazy – they either have it, or they don’t.

NATIONAL COMFY DAY

On National Comfy Day, February 20th, allow yourself to get comfortable and relax! It’s time to get cozy in your favorite place and take a break from the daily grind.

The word “comfy,” which is short for “comfortable,” is used to describe places and activities that put us at peace. Ultimately, what binds us all is the need to be at ease. Some people are pulled to a certain blanket. Some people think of a relaxing vacation. Our furry friends or a special hoodie can also contribute to our sense of well-being. The level of comfort rises even further when you add in some relaxing music and delivery of food.

The goal of National Comfy Day is to help people find their ideal level of comfort and to revel in it!

NATIONAL COMFY DAY HISTORY

“The Comfy Bros” founded National Comfy Day to be celebrated on February 20th, the day The Comfy was invented! Their story starts back in 2017 when Michael and Brian Speciale transformed the way the world stays warm by inventing the world’s first true wearable blanket. Just a month after forming their company, The ‘Comfy Bros’ were invited to make their pitch on ABC’s Shark Tank. With only a prototype in hand, they closed a deal with Barbara Corcoran, and The Comfy went on to become the third most successful product ever to launch on Shark Tank.

Today, The Comfy has expanded to a range of products designed to wrap everyone in a giant, warm hug. The Comfy Bros remain true in their mission to bring happiness to all and give back through their Comfy Cares program. The Comfy is available in over 100 countries, has made millions of customers happy, has over 30,000 5-star reviews, and has press coverage ranging from Good Morning America to USA Today to the Today Show! So take our advice, get Comfy this National Comfy Day!

NATIONAL CUDDLE UP  DAY

Each year on January 6th, National Cuddle Up Day encourages us to snuggle up with someone for the health benefits and more!

January is typically some of the coldest days of the year, so what better way to stay warm and reap the health benefits of cuddling on National Cuddle Up Day? Whether it’s a three dog night (a night so cold it takes three dogs to cuddle up with to stay warm) or only slightly chilly, there are multiple benefits to cuddling with your favorite humans or pets.

Cuddling releases oxytocin. This hormone alone has tremendous 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, lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety. If it weren’t free, insurance carriers would probably cover cuddling since it’s such a huge health benefit!

Communication is more than just e-mails, texts, or conversation. Physical touch can communicate trust, commitment, safety, and reassurance. This goes for human to human contact as well as human to pet contact. Cuddling expresses all these things, which are vital to a healthy relationship.

Cuddling also boosts sexual desire. Dopamine is released, stimulating the brain to seek pleasure. But dopamine also can improve memory and focus as well.

Don’t have someone to cuddle up with?  Make an appointment for a massage.  Studies show massage provides similar benefits.
