Hello my friends.
Thanks so much for joining me today on what is Random Acts of Kindness Day.
What is a RAoKD you might ask, well let me give you a little insight.
Random Acts of Kindness Week takes place for one week each year, always taking place in mid-February. It's a week dedicated to kindness and taking that extra, conscious step to brighten somebody's day.
It was created by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation with the intention of encouraging more harmony and kindness between people by offering thoughtful gestures of kindness, no matter how big or small. A Random Act of Kindness could be surprising a colleague with coffee and a bagel, complimenting somebody on a job well done or placing a funny note in your child's lunch box. There are so many ways that you can join in, spread some kindness and positivity, and possibly make someone's day!
I wanted to participate and surprise someone with a random act of kindness too. In the past I've heard of things like paying for the person behind's toll, paying for shopping for someone in a store and also paying for fuel at the petrol station. I got my thinking hat on and with the help of hubby decided to purchase a lottery ticket for the next person at the till. The cashier was really interested both with the special day and my blog, but when I asked her to hand the lottery ticket to the next person, she thought she might not be able to help!!!! Not sure why, so I decided to hand the ticket to a lady near me in my local Sainsburys. She was so shocked, but very happy and I hope her ticket is a winner. I wont even know if it is because I didn't ask her name. I hope she continues the trend and does something kind for someone else.
Let me give you a little insight as to how I knew about this special day. I was very kindly offered this lovely lingerie set and with that came this sustainable wash bag which has been specially designed to keep my new pieces in tip top condition.
Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.
