Global Recycling Day – 18th March 2020
Today is “Global Recycling Day” a day to highlight the importance of recycling and make us think about what we throw away. The last 100 years has seen a rise in temperatures seeing the hottest days recorded. The climate is now facing an emergency and if we do not each make changes to our way of living we will see a continued rise in global temperatures leading to melting icecaps, deforestation, fires and pollution.

The invention of plastic plagues the land we live on, it is not only overwhelming landfills because it does not decay; it is also filling our oceans with harmful debris killing marine life. It is estimated that more than 817 animal species are affected by ocean pollution, an increase of 23% in the last five years alone! Source: Google Oceans are the biggest water bodies on our planet however in the last few decades’ surplus human activity have severely affected marine life. “Marine pollution is spreading harmful substances such as oil, plastic and other waste into our oceans. Source: Google Below are some disturbing facts that really put into perspective the problems our oceans are experiencing right now: The North Pacific Ocean is the most polluted of the World’s oceans – it holds 2 trillion pieces of plastic, representing one third of the total plastic found in our oceans! Plastics are the most common element found in the ocean today According to a recent study 18 billion pounds of plastic trash ends up in our oceans each year. That is enough to cover every foot of coastline around the world with 5 filled rubbish bags of plastic! The five most common items found in coastal clean-ups were plastic cigarette butts, food wrappers, plastic beverage bottles, plastic bottle caps and plastic straws There are 25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean, of that 269,000 tonnes float to the surface Plastic causes more than 80% of the negative effects on animals associated with ocean trash Ocean pollution kills more than one million sea birds each year Approximately every square mile of ocean has more than 45,000 pieces of plastic floating on it Over 100,000 marine animals die each year from plastic It is estimated by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish!

Planet Mermaid your number one choice for mermaid tails and accessories
Most little girls and boys have dreamt of being able to swim like a beautiful mermaid or shark at least once during childhood. In fact the fascination with mermaids goes beyond famous movies like “The Little Mermaid” and “The Pirates of the Caribbean” it is thought that the attraction comes from the mermaid’s history of love and femininity. Mermaids inspire people with their love of romance, mystery, power and stylishness. Mermaid popularity is continually on the rise with new mermaid inspired films, fashion designers incorporating mermaid inspired designs into their own fashion lines and celebrities posting feeds on social media in their mermaid tails. The love of everything mermaid is something that will just continue to grow and we expect to see lots more movies being produced, songs, fashion labels, art and much more mermaid inspired products made available for everyone, young or old to enjoy for years to come. Lots of companies have joined this bandwagon but not all are quality and safety conscious, something which is of the upmost importance when purchasing a tail for either a child or adult alike. Companies like this are flooding the marketplace and offering cheap alternatives which may look cost attractive but are not always the best option. Below are the main points to consider when looking to purchase that perfect mermaid tail. Safety Above everything else you need to know that whoever you are buying for they can swim confidently. Planet Mermaid recommends that you should be able to swim confidently unaided for 25 metres. There are two elements to a mermaid tail, the tail itself and the fin. Both of which need to be researched carefully to ensure the correct purchase decision is made. Planet Mermaid uses a product called the “Magic Fin” it is UK manufactured and specifically designed for Planet Mermaid tails. The high ankle socks are great for “quick release” as well as giving full support around the ankles. The insert inside the magic fin sleeve is virtually indestructible and engineered for safety and comfort. The tail and monofin need to be the perfect fit to ensure ease in the water. All manufacturers should provide a safety guide with their tails. Planet Mermaid sends a leaflet out with all purchases as well as a dedicated safety page on its website. It is also essential that an adult be with a child at all times when using the tail in the water. Design Mermaid tails come in all shapes, sizes and styles. It is the style of the tail which is usually the final deciding factor when choosing your tail. Whether you want to stand out in the crowd or become Ariel herself there is a design out there for you. Things to help your decision should include making sure that the tail is 100% swimmable and of the highest quality fabric to ensure duration of the product. Planet Mermaids tails are chlorine and fade resistant to ensure the tail stays looking fresh for years to come. Cheaper alternatives will see material fading and stretching after a short life span of use. Planet Mermaid not only produces mermaid tails they also manufacture mermaid leggings, bikini tops, scrunchies, t-shirts and other amazing accessories to complete the mermaid look in a large range of designs. Sharks are also not forgotten our Planet Shark collection consists of merboy tails, boy mermaid costumes, swimming accessories and t-shirts. Planet Shark is all about high quality products that are made in a selection of stunning colours and designs and are meant to be used indoors and outdoors. Make splashes, run across the beach, play, swim and have fun. A perfect gift for a merboy - or just for a boy who enjoys swimming. Fitting Do not go for a “one size fits all” tail. It is essential that that tail fits the person buying for and reputable manufacturers should have tails that come in multiple sizes. Planet Mermaid offers a children’s collection suitable for 3 to 14 years and goes according to measurements for waist circumference, height and waist to ankle length. All manufacturers should have a sizing chart to look at when ordering. The monofin fit is done according to shoe size. Planet Mermaid has two types of monofins available; The “Magic Fin” fitting shoe sizes 11 – 6 and the “Atlantis” for shoe sizes 6-14. Quality Mermaid tails are made with swimmable fabric such as lycra and have agents which ensure they are chlorine and fade resistant. The fabric used ensures flexibility whilst getting it on and also when swimming. Ensure that the fabric is strong enough to prevent bobbling or holes made during use getting in and out of the water. Planet Mermaid provides a leaflet with its tails to ensure the longevity of its products. Pricing Pricing for tails varies greatly wherever you look. A tail set can start at £20 however the quality is usually very poor and will only last the user a couple of sessions due to the cheap fabric. It is more cost effective to invest in a slightly higher price bracket to ensure quality and durability. Planet Mermaids tails last for years and are often handed down to the next generation of mermaids and sharks to start their own magical experiences. . Where to use your tails Planet Mermaid has recently been in the press with its launch of “Mermaid Wave Swim School” where classes, located nationwide, are designed to give you water confidence and an understanding of how to use a monofin safely in water. You will be taught by fully trained instructors with over 15 years of experience to understand how to perform the butterfly kick at different swim lengths including twirls, twist and stroke efficiency. The course is robust and designed by professionals to give our mermaids and sharks the opportunity to learn new techniques and shine brightly. It is the perfect opportunity to learn to swim in your mermaid tail in a safe environment before heading out to larger waters! If you have any questions before making your purchase please do not hesitate to ask our professional opinion. With lots of variations on the marketplace it is essential that you make the right informed decision. If you are looking to purchase for a child take a look at our website to view all our safety videos, look at our amazing fabric mermaid tails and see our full collections or alternately visit www.mermaidplanet.co.uk for our full adult collections including adult mermaid tails and woman’s mermaid monofins, siren tails and a whole lot more!

Happy Christmas to all our Mermaid lovers – 7th January
Did you know there were two Christmas days? How did it all come about?...read on to find out more… Background Christmas on January 7 is also known as Old Christmas Day. Eleven days were dropped to make up for the calendar discrepancy that accumulated with Julian calendar when England and Scotland switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1752. Many people, especially in rural areas, did not accept the loss of these 11 days and preferred to use the Julian calendar. Many Orthodox churches recognise the holiday dates according to the Julian calendar. Christmas is still on December 25 in the Julian calendar so the January 7 date is only valid between 1901 and 2100 The Gregorian date for Orthodox Christmas will be January 8 in 2101 if the Julian calendar is still used. The Julian calendar was revised in 1923 and this version is more in line with the Gregorian calendar. A few Orthodox churches follow the revised Julian calendar but most Orthodox churches follow the more traditional Julian calendar, which has the original dates for Christian observances prior to the Gregorian calendar’s introduction. Orthodox Christians in central and Eastern Europe and other parts of the world celebrate Christmas on January 7. The day is a time of reflection, inner thoughts and healing in many eastern European countries. Many Orthodox Christians fast before January 7, usually excluding meat and dairy products. Foods may include: Lenten bread Nuts and fresh dried fruits Vegetables and herbs such as potatoes, peas, and garlic Mushroom soup Slow-cooked kidney beans with potatoes, garlic, and seasoning Bobal’ki (small biscuits combined with sauerkraut or poppy seed with honey) Honey Baked cod Which countries celebrate on this day? Nowadays, more than a third (39 per cent) of the world's Christians live in Russia - with around 85% of them choosing to celebrate Christmas in January. Some Orthodox countries - including Greece, Cyprus and Romania - adopted a revised Julian calendar in 1923, and now celebrate with us on December 25. Those that celebrate in January include Orthodox Christians in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Egypt and Bulgaria. Serbia, Belarus, Montenegro, Kazakhstan, Macedonia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Georgia and Moldova also all stick to the traditional Orthodox date meaning they are also celebrating today. Planet Mermaid would like to wish you all a: счастливого рождества “καλά Χριστούγεννα” “Chag Molad Sameach” “Eid Milad Majid” “Весела Коледа” „срећан Божић“ “Melkam Genna” “Hristos se rodi” “quttı bolsın'” 'გილოცავ შობა-ახალ წელს' “Crăciun fericit” Sources: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/orthodox-christmas-day Google Planet Mermaids very own founder Maggie is also celebrating Christmas today and we would like to personally wish her a “срећан Божић“from all of the team.

Small Business Saturday - 7th December
Small Business Saturday originated in the US back in 2010 by the founder American Express who has had a long history of championing the high street. Now in its seventh year in the UK the campaign has grown significantly with an estimated £812M spent in small businesses across the UK on this day in 2018– an 8% increase on 2017. This National Day is crucial to the success of small businesses. Running a business is not for the faint hearted. While there are a number of small businesses in a broad range of industries that perform well and are continuously profitable, a larger proportion of companies fail within the first 18 months of operation, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA). Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign highlighting small business success and encourages consumers to “shop local” and support local businesses in their communities. On Small Business Saturday customers across the UK go out and support all types of small businesses online and in stores, and many businesses take part in this day by hosting events and offering discounts. https://bit.ly/2OHI90a Planet Mermaid knows only too well the importance of customer loyalty and support. Although an online shop, during the first two weeks in December they will be showcasing their mermaid collections and accessories at their very own “pop up shop” at Centre:MK in Milton Keynes along with other small similar minded businesses. They will be offering discounts on all collections throughout the two weeks so please go along and say hi! You can even try on your very own mermaid tail! It is a fantastic opportunity for Planet Mermaid to meet their fellow mermaid lovers. Simply visit https://bit.ly/34lT1HR to find out more! Small Business Saturday is such an important day and with Christmas shopping at the forefront of people’s minds at the moment all we ask is for you to think twice before you make that purchase. Any help to support this day would be gratefully received, not only for Planet Mermaid, but for other small businesses whose main purpose is to put the customer first and offer a personal service. To help please think to shop local first and promote the businesses you feel are worth advertising on your social media platforms, why not even go as far as recommending your favourite small business to your friends and family! Help us promote Small Business Saturday and Planet Mermaid on our social media platforms #shopSmall We would be eternally grateful! Without your support small businesses like us would not survive.

National Cookie Day - 4th December
How to Celebrate! National Cookie Day is a day when people come together to bake cookies. It is a time when parents and their children have fun in the kitchen making lots of edible treats for all to enjoy and with lots of different cookie recipes to choose from the hardest part is deciding which recipe is the tastiest! Who would not want to get together and celebrate such a fun and yummy day! History of the Cookie – How did it all come about? While the origin of National Cookie Day is unknown, the history of the cookie is very interesting. Cookies were invented during the 7th century in Persia. It then spread throughout Europe thanks to the Muslim conquest of Spain where the cookie would continue to march across the continent until it became one of the most eaten snack foods in Europe by the 15th Century. The story does not stop in Europe, in the 17th century the cookie had made its way across the Atlantic into the Americas via the Dutch settlers of the time. Colonial housewives snatched up the concept of the cookie and began making their own using butter or if they wanted to be more elaborate rose water, maple syrup or even beer! Source: https://bit.ly/2OGwm2c Even today cookies are a very popular choice when it comes to baking and consuming. We Brits ate a record breaking £3 billion in 2018 alone! Mermaid Inspired Cookies Why not have a go yourself! For the mermaid lovers amongst us it is the perfect opportunity to bake mermaid inspired cookies. To get your creative design juices flowing below is just a small selection of amazing mermaid inspired cookie designs which you could try at home: Source: Google To get you going why not try out this delicious recipe: Under the Sea Cookies Ingredients For the cookies 100g butter, softened 75g caster sugar 1 egg yolk 200g plain flour 1-2 tbsp milk For the royal icing 15g egg white 455g icing sugar 75g water To decorate Wilton® Colour Right System Scrumptious Sprinkles Unicorn Sprinkletti Mix or Under the Sea Sprinkletti Mix Instructions Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Lightly grease 3 baking trays. Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream together until light and fluffy. Separate the egg yolk from the white and set the white aside. Beat in the egg yolk. Sift in the flour and mix well with enough milk to give a fairly soft dough. Knead the mixture gently on a lightly floured surface and roll out to 5mm thick. Cut into your chosen cookie shapes, place on the prepared baking trays and bake for 8-10 minutes. To make the royal icing, first sieve the icing sugar into a bowl. Add the egg white and combine gently. Add the water and mix with a spoon until combined. Using an electric mixer, mix on low for up to 15 minutes until you have a nice light texture. To colour your icing, first mix colours in a ramekin or small bowl, then add small amounts using a cocktail stick to achieve the colour you want – you will need approx. 2 tablespoons of royal icing to 2-3 touches from a cocktail stick. We used the following number of drops from the Wilton Colour Right System: Blue: 4 x blue Lilac: 6 x red, 2 x blue Jade green: 8 x blue, 4 x yellow Pink: 8 x red, 1 x blue, 6x pink Pipe the outline on the biscuits using a disposable piping bag fitted with a piping tube. When the outline has dried, let down your icing by adding a few drops of water until it has the consistency of thick yoghurt. Spoon the let-down icing into a piping bag, snip off the tip to make a very small hole and fill in the middle of your icing design. Use a small decorating brush to help spread it to the edges and remove any air bubbles. Leave to dry completely unless you’re adding sprinkles to the wet icing. Decorating tips Mermaid – ice the face, arms and middle first and leave to dry, then ice the rest. Add sprinkles to her tail when the icing is wet. When fully dry, paint on her face using a black edible food pen. Turtle – add sprinkles to the wet icing to make the shell. Shark – pipe on the teeth and eye using white icing. Seahorse – pipe a wavy snail trail from its head to tail and three little dots in rows on its fin. Attach tiny pearls and stars to this icing then paint on eyes. Starfish – stick a large pearl from the sprinkles in the middle, then pipe small dots of white icing along the centre of each arm.

World Kindness Day 2019
World Kindness Day is celebrated annually on 13th November with the attempt to make the world a better place by celebrating and promoting good deeds and pledging acts of kindness, either as individuals or as organisations. What does kindness really mean? Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Affection, gentleness, warmth, concern, and care are words that are associated with kindness. While kindness has a connotation of meaning someone is naive or weak, that is not the case. Being kind often requires courage and strength. Source: Google The origin of the word kindness came from the old English word “Kyndnes” meaning “nation” or “produce, increase”. It derived from the Middle English word “Kindenes” meaning “noble deeds” or “courtesy” and the first recorded use of the word kindness was in the 14th century. World Kindness Day was launched in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, an organisation formed at a Tokyo conference in 1997 made up of like-minded kindness organisations from all around the world. To date there are over 28 nations involved in this amazing day where the mission is to create a kinder world by inspiring individuals and organisations towards better kindness. Kindness Day UK is organised by Kindness UK, a non profit organisation launched on the 13th November 2010. Since its establishment this day has grown from strength to strength s and now individuals, schools, charities, institutions and businesses all take part. How can you join in the fun? If you would like to take part all you need to do is pledge a good deed, for example you can: Give complements Smile at a stranger Hold the door open for someone Say thank you Offer support to those in need Give up your seat to someone else on public transport Offer your lunch to someone less fortunate than yourself Offer to make the tea and coffee to all your work colleagues Share treats with your friends …anything goes! Most of us take for granted what we have and are so focused on our own day to day lives that we forget what is happening around us, this day brings it home and shows you that by simply doing something nice for others really does feels good! Planet Mermaid challenges you to do five acts of kindness for other people. We would love to hear what you have done and how it has made you feel. Please share your acts of kindness with us on our social media platforms using #WKD, we would love to see them and share with fellow mermaid lovers! @PlanetMermaid #planetmermaid Visit www.planetmermaid.com to view our latest in amazing fabric mermaid tails for kids and adults alike!
