national tapioca pudding day
We’re bubbling with excitement to tell you about National Tapioca Day on June 28 when you can explore this less popular – though no less delicious – carb. Made from the cassava plant, tapioca is versatile, though tapioca pudding is the most popular American dish made with this ingredient, including savory dinner dishes. Tapioca pudding combines tapioca pearls with liquid to form a delicious, creamy mix.
national hug day
Hugging is a simple way to express many different types of affection, from friendly, to intimate, to familial. It’s an action largely limited to primates — while we can find instances of other animals in positions that resemble hugging, there aren’t any other species that do it so frequently, and for so many reasons — and so, in many ways, hugging sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. It’s not just a differentiator, though: studies show that hugging releases oxytocin, known as the “cuddle hormone,” which can help to strengthen social bonds. So, on June. 29, we celebrate Hug Holiday. Get your hug on today!
world social media day
First there was the telephone, then the fax machine, then social media — a revolutionary way of communicating. Since its creation, people have been able to connect with each other like never before. Marketers have been able to reach consumers in an entirely new fashion. Just look around and you will see people using social media at all times of the day. World Social Media Day on June 30 was born as a way to recognize the important role it plays in our society and to celebrate the way it has connected us!
