It's one of our favorite weeks of the entire year... Random Acts of Kindness Week! Although we try to be kind every week, we make an extra effort to go out of our way and unexpectedly make someone's day! We set out a few Happy Notes Books in the office for the Natural Life family to take and spread some happy. See below for a few super easy ideas that go a long way!
1. Send someone you love flowers
Natalie, our Marketing Manager, got flowers delivered to the office from her sweet husband!
2. Treat your favorite traffic officer
Our local traffic officer is an office favorite! He stands outside every single morning whether it's 30 degrees or 90 degrees... always with a smile on his face! Carolyn, our Brand Communication Specialist, brought him a refreshing organic juice and chocolate bar from our favorite juicery, Watts!
3. Visit a children's hospital
... and bring them fun gifts! Lisa and Adrienne, our amazing Natural Life Flagship Store Managers, brought a bunch of Boho Bandeaus to the kids at Wolfsons! They're super comfy and help keep their heads warm!
4. Surprise a Drive-thru Window Worker
Korrie, our Marketing Director, treated her son to a little after-school splurge at his favorite fast food place. The woman taking their order was super short and snappy, clearly not having a good day. Instead of getting snappy back, Korrie sincerely asked her, "How is your day going?" She replied, "Oh, it's just one thing after another!" Korrie said, "I want to give you this headband and try to turn your day around!" The woman was SO excited! She jumped up and down and was so appreciative! It was such an amazing thing for her son to see, too!
5. Bring a new mom dinner
Being a new mom is HARD! Our Southeast Territory Manager, Danielle, just had a baby a few weeks ago! She barely has a minute to brush her teeth... let alone feed herself, so some of her friends brought her a yummy dinner... and got to hold her baby while she ate! (Win-Win!)?
6. Buy a Stranger Coffee
Patti was in the Starbucks line and decided to give a Happy Notes book to the drive-thru cashier...
7. Volunteer at a local homeless shelter
Gregory is one of the greatest people Taylor, our Marking Intern, knows! He is homeless himself and serves other homeless people coffee at the Cup of Love.
8. Be generous
A few weeks ago we received the sweetest email...
9. Help an animal in need
This week, a rescue organization...
10. Pay it forward
Bridget, one of our Product Development Specialists...
11. Surprise your co-workers
Patti surprised everyone at the office...
