National Nurses Week

Introduced in 1982, 
National Nurse Week is celebrated annually in May. 
The week begins on May 6th & ends on Florence Nightingale’s Birthday on May 12th. 

For several years now,
it has been my annual treat to get the freebie from Cinnabon.
But honestly,
 I only found out last year the reason why they give free Cinnabon rolls to nurses.
And it will melt your heart!

Just present your ID
& you can either get a roll or bon bites.



Cinnabon’s philosophy is to serve those who serve others. 
Keeping true to the values of the brand, 
Cinnabon is a proud supporter of the The DAISY Foundation.



Established in 1999, 
The DAISY Foundation’s mission 
is to recognize the exceptional work that nurses do for patients & families every day. 
DAISY stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. 
It was founded by Bonnie & Mark Barnes & their family members from Glen Ellen, CA.

Cinnabon was The Daisy Foundation's first Industry Partner.  
Since 2001, 
their franchise bakeries have been providing their famous cinnamon rolls to nearby hospitals for every DAISY Award celebration.   
In addition, 
all nurses are invited to enjoy a free Cinnabon cinnamon roll 
at participating bakeries during Nurses Week, 
an annual event to remind nurses of how sweet and special they are.  



THE SWEET STORY
It was established after Mark’s son, Pat, 
died of complications from an auto-immune disease. 
During his extended hospital stay, 
Pat had stopped eating until his father, Mark, brought a Cinnabon. 
Pat asked for a bite, and continued to eat all of it. 
From then on, Pat continued to eat Cinnabon Classic rolls
& insisted his father bring additional Cinnabons to share with his care nurses. 


Since its inception, 
the foundation has presented more than 8500 nurses in over 2,600 medical facilities internationally with The DAISY Award,
which includes Cinnabon rolls as a part of the celebration of course! 


Thank you so much to all the Cinnabon franchisees for sharing the sweetness to me 
& to all my fellow nurses!


Nurses’ life definitely needs some frosting!


Shout out to my nearby Cinnabon in 8th Ave. 
where I get my annual treat for several years now!

Peace, SWEETNESS & love,

Flores in Londres

This jet lag is not fun and I'm in need of something to perk me up. To tire myself and hopefully go to bed earlier, we walked around the neighborhood. Britain in Bloom is the largest horticultural campaign in the United Kingdom. This year is its 50th Anniversary. The winners for the competition will be announced in September. While walking, I've noticed these blue round signs on some of the houses. Apparently, these are historical landmarks. And after some Lebanese food (they have a lot of them here!), we also decided to walk home and burn those calories. In the corner of our street is a flower stand which is literally called "The Flower Stand". My fiance got me a bunch of pink long stemmed roses and eucalyptus. And since I don't have vases yet, I decided to use these tall glasses for the living room and recycle the wine bottles for the kitchen. These flowers have indeed ...

Homemade Healthy Fudge

Image
It's National Fudge Day! Fudge is a soft crumbly or chewy sweet made from sugar, butter, and milk or cream. I'm trying my best to stay away from refined sugar and dairy products so I decided to try to make a healthy fudge. This is refined sugar-free and dairy-free. ;) Ingredients: 1/2 cup almond butter (or nut butter of choice) 1 banana  1 tsp pure vanilla extract a sprinkle of salt 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil, melted  2 tbsp pure maple syrup (or sweetener of choice) Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a small blender until completely smooth. Or for some exercise (need to burn some calories before indulging in a fudge! lol),  mash the banana by hand and stir together ingredients by until smooth.  Scoop into container of choice. You can be creative by using candy molds or  just the usual fudge cut into small squares or use ice cube tray to be easier! Freeze until firm.  Due to the melty nature of coconut,...
