June 1 - National Olive Day

Happy National Olive Day! On June 1 each yea, todayr celebrates one of the world’s oldest fruits.   

  

The olive is part of a traditional meze/tapas culinary experience that brings families and friends around the table rather than in the kitchen sharing time together.  

  

Another symbol we receive from this delicious fruit is the olive branch. As a symbol of peace, hope, love and friendship, it’s another excellent reason to celebrate the day and acknowledge the joy this little fruit provides. 

  

Olives are used in many ways. We find them in cocktails and loaves of bread. We eat them whole as snacks, use them as toppings, include them on relish trays and even use them as a garnish for many foods. They are one of the most versatile foods we eat. 

Around the world, approximately five hundred different varieties of olives are cultivated! Their flavors range from sweet to bitter and also come in a range of colors and sizes as well. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Share your favorite types of olives. While you’re sharing, include recipes you enjoy, too. Take photos of your favorite way to eat olives and post them on social media using #NationalOliveDay. 

HISTORY 

In 2015, Divina™ founded National Olive Day as a way to share the culinary history and traditions of this amazing food. 

In July of 2015, the Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed the day to be observed annually on June 1.

June 1 - National Nail Polish Day

Happy National Nail Polish Day! On June 1 each year, today primes us with every shade under the sun. Sandals and beaches mean manicures and pedicures as well. 

From the French manicure to elaborate nail art, nail polish has come a long way since the bees’ wax and gum Arabic used by the Chinese around 3,000 B.C. 

The celebration recognizes these durable lacquers and gels that last longer and provide variety. 

No longer the status symbol it once was, nail color now changes with the seasons, our styles and our moods. And, there is also a shade or hue for every occasion.  

Vibrant reds, turquoise and plum make summer nails shine during beach parties and weekend barbecues. The understated style of pale pinks and beiges or a subtle moss help us look workweek chic.  

For those elegant evenings or when we want to make a statement, nail polish adds gold, silver and sparkle to even the most economic wardrobe. 

HOW TO OBSERVE
