Acts of Kindness to Actuate: Explore These 11 Thoughtful Moves to Spread Happiness
May 9 Marks Do It For Dolly Day: A National Effort to End Bullying in Australia
May 9 marks the annual Do It For Dolly Day, a nationwide initiative in Australia, aiming to raise awareness about bullying and encouraging Australians to take a stand against the harmful practice. The movement was inspired by the tragic passing of 14-year-old Dolly Everett due to prolonged bullying and cyberbullying in 2018.
Following her death, Dolly’s parents, Kate and Tick Everett, founded Dolly’s Dream, a charity dedicated to changing the culture of bullying through education, mental health support, and promoting a culture of kindness. This year, on May 9, people across Australia will “go blue,” Dolly’s favorite color, as a symbol of unity and hope in the fight against bullying.
In memory of Dolly, here is a selection of blue items for you to show your support and spread her message of kindness:
- A stylish blue hat to protect your friend from the sun.
- A cuddly blue axolotl for comfort in difficult times.
- A cozy blue hoodie for those chilly days.
- A sky blue cup to keep your favorite beverages close at hand.
- A rain cloud diffuser to add a warm, comforting glow to any room.
- A wearable blanket for the friend who feels the cold.
- A fun shark costume to bring a smile to anyone's face.
- A blue speaker to help your friend dance away the stresses of the day.
- A blue tea infused with calming cornflower petals.
- An instant print thermal camera to capture moments of joy.
- An intention candle adorned with Aquamarine crystals for relaxation and improved confidence.
Join the nationwide effort to end bullying and support Dolly’s Dream on May 9 by wearing blue. Help create a kinder, more understanding society, one action at a time.
In honor of Dolly's Day, you can show your support for the auction organised by Dolly's Dream, a featured event on the AU-Shopping-HP platform, offering a variety of blue lifestyle items such as fashion and beauty products, home and garden items. For instance, consider purchasing a blue hoodie or a sky blue cup, symbolizing unity and hope in the fight against bullying. Furthermore, a blue tea infused with calming cornflower petals can serve as a thoughtful reminder of Dolly's Dream and its mission to end bullying.
