Strange spider shoes!

Posted by

Tarantula-in-Freaky-ShoesThe tarantula shoe is a sky-high platform design that might be a danger to weak ankles, but this scary fashion oddity is the most dangerous shoe in the world for a very different reason; encased in the fashionable item is a live tarantula. Since goldfish shoes went out with the 70s, someone had to come up with a new living shoe design. No word whether or not this fashion might present an animal rights violation or if the tarantula has the ability to be removed. However, there’s no doubting that this scary shoe makes a bold and dangerous fashion statement.

World hugging day today!

Posted by

Happy-Hug-Day

National Hugging Day is an annual event created by Kevin Zaborney. USA. It occurs on January 21 but is not a public holiday. The day was launched on January 21, 1986 in Clio, Michigan, USA. It has been marked in some other countries under the name of World Hugging Day. The idea of National Hug Day is to encourage everyone to hug family and friends more often, or to hug people you don’t know very well – but ask them first!

Zaborney considered that “American society is embarrassed to show feelings in public” and hoped that a National Hugging Day would change that.

Studies have shown that human contact has many health benefits. It has been found that human contact improves both psychological and physical development.Hugging can also help build a good immune system, decrease the risk of heart disease, and decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol in women. According to the American Psychosomatic Society, a hug or 10 minutes of holding hands with a romantic partner can help reduce stress, so it is good for your health!

Have you hugged someone today? Go and hug your Mom, your little brother, your best friend, your partner or a friendly neighbor… it’s good for you!

How to make a calming glitter jar or bottle

Posted by

If your little brother or sister needs help calming down, or if you’d like one for yourself because they are so pretty, here is how to make a calming glitter jar.

You will need:

– a glass jar or a strong plastic bottle (in that case, don’t heat the water too much)

– some transparent glitter glue

– a lot of glitter!

– one drop of food coloring (one drop directly into the water for strong coloring, or use a toothpick to add a little for a softer color)

Tip: if you are giving this to a young child, use super glue to seal the top so they won’t unscrew it and make a horrible mess in their room…

Pittsburg police chief takes stand against racism

Posted by

Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay set off a battle with police unions when he posed with a sign that reads, ‘I resolve to challenge racism @ work #EndWhiteSilence.’ Some think this means policemen are racists. McLay says the sign is not against anyone, and that he was just showing support to anti-racism campaigners. After several black men were shot by police in 2014, McLay wants to show that no racism will be accepted within the police force.
