READ ALL ABOUT IT: HooplaHa dishes up the smiles!

Hi there!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers....post numero dos for the day.

Okay, confession...it's not really book related but it is SMILE INDUCING and that HAS to count for something, right....right?  Right!  So I know it's "the most wonderful time of the year" but as much mistle-toeing and hearts glowing as you see, there is also that tendency to be over stressed (*raises hand*), over worked (*raises OTHER hand*), and just flat out pooped from trying to keep up with it all (*jumps up and down with both arms raised*).  I don't know about you, but it seems to have happened even more so this year in my household and frankly, it saddens my heart.  I want to enjoy the holiday season while it's here, not lament its passing days later.

So, in the spirit of Christmas present, I am ordering a PAUSE to be inserted into your day.  Don't think I can order you around?  THINK AGAIN!  It's for your own good you know (mine as well) and inserting that PAUSE won't be as hard as you think...because really, you're taking a moment RIGHT NOW to read this post, so you're halfway there already!  The PAUSE I wish for you to take though will leave you with a smile on your face, a skip in your step, and warmth in your heart.  It'll give you that extra BOOST of HAPPY and INSPIRATION to make it through the day.  The PAUSE of which I speak is called...

HooplaHa.  It's a newish site that my PR friend Erin (Hi Erin!) let me in on and I have to tell you, once I read about their mission...I was already hooked.  Their mission...

...to make people smile as much as possible.

Simple?  Perhaps.
Worthwhile?  You bet!
  It's a site built around sharing smiles and stories to spread a message of positivity far and wide...and who couldn't use a little more of that in their life?  I know I sure could...and that's exactly what I got when I starting checking out the videos.  The first one I encountered melted my heart and was the determining factor in whether I shared this site with you so you can thank BeeBee the Chihuahua for the recommendation.  Curious what spoke to my heart so greatly?  Check out BeeBee's story....

....see?  Touching wasn't it?

~tear~

That's only the beginning too because there are things to smile about, stories to be uplifted by and then some in a myriad of categories across the site.  From Love to Family, Cute to Charity....there's a little something to smile about for everyone...and of course with 2012 drawing to a close in a matter of days, their latest video is certainly appropriate:  TOP HEROES OF 2012.

While digging around the site, I discovered so many great things but also one unexpected...that they have a Celebrity Ambassador...Ms. Debbie Gibson herself!  (Remember her?  "Only in My Dreams", "Foolish Beat"..and other hits... ^_^)  Pretty cool, right...and another great voice to a site that's already got a promising future.  So, about that DEMANDED PAUSE in your day, think you can handle it with a little help from HooplaHa?  I thought so. ^_^

Special thanks to Erin at HooplaHa for the lead on the site.  (THANKS!)  To add a smile to your day, be sure to visit the official site.  Not exploring the world wide web at the moment?  Check them out on these social networks...Google+, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter!

Until next time...SMILE...and happy reading!
