What's the Buzz Today Fam?

Hugs are awesome.

For some people, a hug is a sign of love, for others it might be a sign of appreciation. We all know hugs are a great way to express gratitude and love to others that we care about. But did you know that they’re also good for your health?

A recent study found that people who hug more have higher levels of oxytocin, a hormone that promotes feelings of happiness and social connection. Hugs also lower blood pressure and boost immune system function.

Moral of the story, hug your friends, hug your family, and hug yourself for good health!

But, Did you know:

Today, April 26 is International hug a friend day!? Source. Yes, that is correct. April 26 is the one day of the year when we are collectively allowed to hug our friend(s).

The team at D.Buzz however, does not like to follow the rules, so we decided to run not a one day hug-o-thon, but a one-week challenge to post a photo of you hugging your friend.

What constitutes a "Friend"? Well, A friend is defined as :

A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade. Source

But again, we here at D.Buzz, we don't play by the rules, so we will expand that definition to ...

A person, place, object, place, animal or entities with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.

This long road brings us to this week challenge. Are you ready?
