Get ready...Friday, October 4th is World Smile Day!!!
Did you know that next Friday is World Smile Day?
"World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. It first began with Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Massachusetts who designed the smiley face in 1963.
The day was first celebrated in 1999 and we’ve been grinning on this Friday every year since then. Harvey Ball’s ultimate goal was to inspire the world to dedicate one day each year to smiling and performing kind acts in the community. His smiley face has become one of the most recognizable symbols of goodwill and good cheer and his hope was for us to portray those qualities too. No matter the destruction, racism, and sadness going on in the world, today is a day to share some compassion to help us stress a little less and smile a little more!"
I had no idea, until I was sent an email last week about it from our local library. They are planning a "World Smile Day" craft afternoon for the kids, complete with smiley face cookies, tattoos, and more. Kids are encouraged to come with a smile on their face, and if they have "smile" clothing, they should show it off! Once I told my girls this, they had a big smile on their face, and knew just what to wear...their new SMILE! SOX, which we received in the mail for review. I had planned to keep my review of these super fun and oh so stylish socks for kids and adults for my holiday gift guide, but seeing that "World Smile Day" is coming up, I thought this would be the perfect time to share about SMILE! SOX and share a 15% off coupon code. This way if your kids are celebrating this day in school, at a library, etc. you can be prepared with fun fashion socks for them, while also saving $$$!
So, what are SMILE! SOX!?

Luckily there were 6 pairs in the package, so there was no fighting over who got more pairs. Once they agreed on the colors, they sat on the couch and tried on their new SMILE! SOX. Almost in unison my girls said, "These are so comfy and soft!"
Even my youngest who is not a fan of socks or socks with seams, couldn't stop talking about how comfortable the socks were and how they weren't tight in spots like other socks she has worn. Both of my girls really liked their new SMILE! SOX, and they can't wait for next Friday to get here so they can show them off. But, in the meantime, they are breaking in their new socks by mixing and matching the different colors and expressions/moods based on how they are feeling.
I really like the whole idea of these socks, especially for kids who may struggle to share how they are feeling. Instead of prying them to talk, your kids can put on the socks that match their mood, and you can see how they are feeling on a particular day. Or, maybe your kids are not fans of socks in general, like my youngest. Even though she hates wearing socks and is dreading winter when she needs to switch into her sneakers, she is all about these fun and colorful socks we received from the kind folks at SMILE! SOX. She said if all her socks were fun and playful like these ones, and oh so comfy she would not have a problem wearing them. I guess we will be buying more of these socks, in the different collections/colors, so that she will be ready for sneaker/shoe season.
