1962 - Johnny Carson Named Host of The Tonight Show - I dunno about you, but I can never stay up late enough to watch these shows. I pick up a book and intend to read it before bed and fall asleep before I even get through the first paragraph. However, that may be because I take a hot bath before bed…with lavender body wash and bubbles…lavender can make me reeeeally sleepy.  Couple the hot bath with the cup of chamomile tea I drink…no wonder I can’t keep my eyes open! Regardless, I ALWAYS wake up feeling rested and fresh. You should try my technique; you’ll feel like a million bucks every morning…even though you’ll miss The Tonight Show.  Head over to Beauty.com for lavish lavender bath products.

Guardian Angel Day - I think we should start with the fact that I have a strong belief we all have a guardian angel, whether they’re living or some angelic figure who stands on our shoulder and guides us through life. Sounds cheesy, I know. However, I’ve heard stories before of mysterious people showing up in tough times and vanishing. No matter what your religion or belief system, you wouldn’t reject having a guardian angel in your life. I know I do tons of reminiscing (today is no different); when I was in elementary school, I had a teacher who was obsessed with angels. We would talk about angels all the time to the point where it got me hooked on them as well. Guardian angels don’t have to be some heavenly figure. It could be anyone, and I believe they appear in forms of other people. I have a pretty good idea who my guardian angels are and I hope you do too! Whether you consider your living guardian angel a grandparent, mom, dad, aunt, uncle or friend, or someone who you see every day, then give the gift that no one grows old of - flowers from Fleurop. Head over there now to save 5% on bouquets of flowers, arrangements and baskets including international flower delivery and same day service when you apply Fleurop coupons.

National Custodial Worker Day - When you were growing up, you didn’t have to worry about cleaning up after yourself because you know your mom or dad would do it for you. Then you started school, and wouldn’t you know it, there are custodial workers to clean up after you (and the school). It sounds to me like we’ve had it made! The custodial workers at my school were fun, easy going, and you could talk to them and joke around with them about anything. In my opinion, in order to be a likable custodial worker, you have to have a really good personality. If you don’t, then you’ll be considered the cookie-cutter version of The Simpsons’ custodial worker, Groundskeeper Willie. He was especially funny since he was mean and had no remorse for scaring young children. I loved this character! Today on National Custodial Worker Day, we should all go up to the custodial worker we know and thank them for everything they do. If there’s any way you can make a custodial worker’s job a little easier today and from now on, go ahead and do it! I’ve got the perfect way…shop at Fuller Brush Company or tell them how they can save 15% on discount household and commercial cleaning agents and products. Help them out in a way you know how by telling them about Fuller Brush Company coupons!
