I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please

NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT LEADER’S DAY
Each year, National Girl Scout Leader’s Day on April 22nd recognizes the thousands of leaders who volunteer their time and share their experiences with youth across the country. Girl Scout volunteer leaders have been positively impacting girls’ lives since the beginning of Girl Scouting in 1912. These leaders are often beacons for girls as they approach womanhood. They provide a foundation of confidence, experience, respect, and courage that stays with a young woman throughout her lifetime.
Approximately 750,000 adults volunteer their time with the Girl Scouts. Through their leadership, girls gain experience in community service, stewardship, relationship building, and much more. Their leaders offer decision-making skills, build confidence and character, form friendships, and develop leaders for tomorrow.

NATIONAL JELLY BEAN DAY
Who can resist a handful of sweet jelly beans on National Jelly Bean Day? Well on April 22nd each year, you really don’t have to resist at all. As a celebration, enjoying them is a must!
While candies made in a similar manner existed before the jelly bean, Boston confectioner William Schrafft made them popular during the Civil War. With their firm exterior, jelly beans were the first candies sold by the pound. Schrafft encouraged his customers to send them to Union soldiers.
In the 1930s, jelly beans became closely associated with the Easter holiday thanks to their egg-like shape. However, confectioners make jelly beans available all year long now. So, there’s no excuse not to enjoy them if you have a craving at any time of the year.
The 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, enjoyed jelly beans so much that they were present at his inauguration. He started eating them when he quit smoking years before. The Herman Goelitz Candy Company supplied red, white and blue jelly beans for the 1980 event. At the time, the company didn’t produce blue jelly beans. They created a blueberry jelly bean for the first time, especially for the inauguration.

💡Did You Know This About Earth Day?💡
🌎 Earth Day has its roots in tragedy: the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Images of oil-covered beaches and struggling wildlife shocked the nation and sparked a new level of awareness about the fragility of our environment.
That moment ignited a movement. Just a year later, on April 22, 1970, millions of Americans came together for the first Earth Day, raising their voices for cleaner air, cleaner water, and a healthier planet.
That first Earth Day is widely credited with sparking major environmental legislation in the U.S. including the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.
What makes this even more meaningful to us is that Michael once worked for an oil spill response company born from the response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska on March 24, 1989. This was another major turning point for environmental policy and oil spill response standards in the United States. In the wake of that disaster, companies like his emerged to respond to environmental crises and help protect our oceans and waterways. Michael was part of that effort, helping clean up and restore what had been damaged.
Earth Day isn’t just about looking back—it’s about remembering why it started and continuing to care for the world we all share.
