In this most celebratory episode, we're taking listeners on a spirited journey through a year full of unique and lesser-known holidays. We go month-by-month sharing our favorite eccentric holidays, from 'Preposterous Packaging Day' to 'Bright Pink Lipstick Day', 'Slinky Day', 'Name Your Car Day', and even 'Toilet Paper Appreciation Day'. We of course also get sidetracked with some personal stories, revealing why Jessica's mom didn't let her eat ice cream for breakfast + Alexis' affinity for naming inanimate objects. (Plus we have a not-to-be-missed in-depth sidebar all about grilled cheese sandwiches.) So whether it's planning ahead for 'Bubble Wrap Day' or spontaneously celebrating 'Caps Lock Day', we simply aim to encourage you to embrace the fun and magic in the everyday. It's an episode guaranteed to make you smile, laugh, and maybe even inspire you to throw a bathtub party or name your computer. Get ready to mark your (free downloadable) calendars, and don't forget to share your unique celebrations with us – let's celebrate the little moments of joy together!

We talk about…
♥ Encouraging you to celebrate the little things.
♥ Our preferred kinds of bubble wrap.
♥ Jessica & Clifford's hot air balloon adventure.
♥ All. The. Food.

You guys know happiness is kind of our jam here, right? But like, aside from the literal little bits of happy we make & share, there is a much deeper reason for being so passionate about it. You see, things aren't always "happy" — we all go through some hard stuff, and anxiety, stress, depression, and overwhelm can often rule our lives. But once we decide to take action, there is no limit to the happiness each one of us can design for ourselves. Happiness is more than just a mood or an emotion — it’s a philosophy and a state of being that encompasses everything it means to live a good life and thrive. In this first installment of a three part series, we break down what happiness is (and isn't), why it's important, and how you can design your own unique version it. We then look at the first key area to look to: your health.

We talk about…
♥  Why happiness matters.
♥ What it means to be happy (+ what happiness isn't).
♥ How happiness starts with our health.
♥ Why creating routines is integral to managing thoughts, stress, and feelings.

In 2016, Jamie began creating art by using sterile IVF needles in order to take back the control those needles had on her life.

Jamie shares heartwarming stories, insights on motherhood, and the power of shared experiences. Get ready to celebrate life's glittering moments and be reminded that you're never alone in your journey.

We talk about…
♥ The power of connection and our innate desire to feel supported and understood.

**About Jamie**
In 2016 - before there was Glitter Enthusiast - there was just artist Jamie Kushner Blicher alone with her art and seemingly too many IVF needles. One day, out of a desire to take back the control those needles had on her life, she grabbed a sterile one, pumped it full of ink, and forced all that emotion right onto the canvas. Sharing her art on social media started out as a welcome distraction from her otherwise all-encompassing infertility journey. Today, Jamie is proud to report that she is a mother of two incredible twin boys. Seeing how opening up about her journey gave her a support system and how her art continues to serve as a form of welcome mat to starting the conversation, she just can't stop. Today Glitter Enthusiast’s mission is to educate, support, and empower all women, but especially the 1 in 4 who are going through their own infertility journey.
