Today is National Pink Day!

This fun day is all about the wonderful colour pink and what it stands for - kindness, love, and joy. People usually take part by wearing pink clothes, and doing activities that make them happy 😊

Pink Sayings

In the pink - Someone who is in tip-top condition.

Pink-collar worker - This refers to jobs that are traditionally thought of as 'woman's work'. This is a phrase I had never heard before! I wonder what jobs would be considered as 'pink-collar'?

The Pink Pound - Money spent by the LGBTQ+ community.

Tickled pink - When someone is very happy.

You don’t need to do anything big to celebrate. You could wear something pink, do something nice for yourself, or treat yourself to pink cake like the one pictured, yum!

National Pink Day is a chance to have fun, be kind, and show that pink can be powerful and meaningful 💗

Share pictures of your favourite pink things, and let us know what nice thing you are doing for yourself today 😊

    I'm a pink lady, hence my username.

    Most of my clothes are pink and my drink is pink gin. 💕

    What? No mention of 'pink elephants?' Yes, I like penguins, but first it was elephants.

    Seeing a pink elephant was supposed to infer you'd been imbibing too much drink of the alcoholic kind. I did see one once when my parents took me out for the day with my current boyfriend. It was a large pink elephant charity collection box outside a shop, so somewhere I've got a picture of us both with a pink elephant (no alcohol was involved, I promise).

    I like Pink Panther, does that count?

    I'm afraid I can't comment on wafers. I don't know enough about them. You'll need to run this past Community_Scope (by wheelchair of course) if you want a full and frank answer to your question.
