Admit You’re Happy Month

Published by:

If you’re happy and you know it…admit it! Don’t bother clapping your hands or stamping your feet. Admitting it does the job. Or so it seems.

There’s got to be power in just simply admitting you are happy. It seems that in this generation – where there is constant advertising about what we need and deserve, we end up feeling entitled. Extras become necessities in our minds. Through advertising, we are told that we should have that nice car, a bigger TV, quicker internet, and more clothes. It’s just that all these extras, which we can actually live just fine without, become basics. That’s when we feel disappointed, even upset that we don’t have the resources to get those seemingly ‘basic’ items. Dashed expectations bring unhappiness.

Colors of HappyWell, you’re about to get a heck of a lot happier right now! It’s August and this month is Admit You’re Happy Month. Interestingly, the four weeks in August are nationally known as National Simplify your Life Week, National Smile Week, Friendship Week, and Be Kind to Humankind Week. With just one quick look at the names of the four weeks, it’s easy to see that all these national August weeks focus on happiness. Simplifying your life greatly increases happiness. Get rid of all the extra noise, spend quality time with your loved ones – that’s bound to bring you to appreciate all that you have. Smiling can do the trick too! You know what they say, “Fake it ’till you make it”. Smile even if you don’t feel like it, you’ll feel it soon enough. Friendship week is to enjoy your friends. Life is busy and just letting those dear friends in brings extra happiness to your heart. Lastly, giving is the ultimate gift. Be Kind to Humankind Week brings us happiness even if we may be giving of ourselves to others.

Nurses, in my opinion, practice Be Kind to Humankind every day on the job. Caring tirelessly for the sick and healing is oh so hard but is also super rewarding. I’m sure you nurses know what I’m talkin’ about. Reward yourself with some scrubs, to make that shift just a little easier. So far, Cherokee Luxe has been receiving awesome reviews. Check it out.

So tell us, what makes you happy?

Left Hander’s Day: Facts about the Left Handed

Published by:

You a leftie by any chance? Cuz it’s Left Hander’s Day. It happens every year on August 13th.

It’s a fact. Left handed people are outnumbered. Only 10-12% of Earth’s population are lefties! Despite the extremely low ratio of left handed to right handed people in the world, there is something cool and different about humans who are more dexterous with their left hands.

Lucky for lefties, they are not as scorned upon anymore. In many cultures, religions and definitely back in the day, many ugly and negative words were use to describe left handed people. They were looked at as different and even imperfect.  It’s actually quite fascinating that in many languages the word used to say ‘left-handed’ are derived from words that are, let’s just say, less than complimentary. Linkisch, levja, mancino, and sinistrum are a few examples in German, Russian, Italian and Latin and have the meaning of awkward, clumsy, crooked, and maimed.

left handed ecardSurprisingly, so much is right with the lefties! When it comes to the speed of the left brain and right brain connecting, left-handed people win! Their brains are faster which makes them more efficient and have a greater ability to multitask. Additionally, lefties are known to have higher IQ’s than righties. Lefties are also better at playing video games, sports, and can adjust to seeing underwater quicker than the rest of mankind.

It gets even better! Being a leftie can’t be too bad if Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Jay Leno, Drew Barrymore and Celine Dion qualify to be in the left-handed club. Famous people like Albert Einstien, Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Aristotle were also known to be left handed.

Think about it – everything in the world is created for right-handed people. How frustrating is that for lefties! That’s why Left Hander’s Day was created. To create awareness of the frustrations left handed people face and struggle with daily and to celebrate their existence.

To make their lives a whole lot easier, there is actually an entire website that exclusively sells items for left handed people. Lefty’s, The Left Handed Store, sells things like scissors, can openers, notebooks, measuring tapes and even knives! You name it – they got it.

Good thing scrubs don’t discriminate. Whether you’re a leftie or rightie you will look awesome in Cherokee Pro-Flexibles scrubs. The Cherokee Luxe scrubs are new and hot on the market and are sexy to say the least.

Happy Left Hander’s Day!
