One Week till Labor Day!

. Medical Scrubs, UA Hot Topics

For many, when someone mentions Labor Day the first thing that comes to mind is getting a day off of work (whether or not you have the luxury!). But the reality behind Labor Day is not the celebration of a 4 day work week or the indulgence of grilled shish kabobs with chicken, pineapple, onion and red peppers (mmmm, it’s almost lunch time here so this sounds really good) at your neighbors barbeque. It’s a day for us to pay tribute to American working men and women across the country. So whether or not you are going into work on Monday, we all have every reason to celebrate our hard work! In particular, to everyone working in the medical field, thank you for working hard to help people every day!

Because Labor Day is an American Holiday, why not show your American spirit? Those 4th of July and Memorial Day prints can definitely be used again this coming Monday. But if you missed the boat earlier this summer, we still have some American pride prints available. Plus red, white and blue solids scrubs!

Summer lovin…

. Randomness, UA Hot Topics

And having a blast…

Who doesn’t love summer right? Summer brings back memories (including watching the movie Grease over and over again and singing at the top of my lungs like I was in my own Broadway production) from when I actually had a 3-month long summer vacation where I could spend time outside with friends and family. But now that I’m all grown up? I can still have a blast! Days off are for re-living those summer memories we are so fond of and basking in our favorite things for summer.

So like our usual take on interactive questions, I asked around our office to find out what kind of memories people have of summer and what they enjoy most about summer…here are some of our thoughts!

-          Swimming in the pool (refreshing)

-          Sun-tan lotion (smells just like summer!)

-          Going on vacations to the beach (sand castles…could you ever get your mote to protect them!?)

-          Slip and slide (such a great one)

-          Riding my bike (handlebars and basket in the front? yes!)

-          Getting ready for the dreaded bikini (but making sure we look darn good in it!)

-          Cold drinks (soda pop or a simple glass of ice cold water will do the job)

-          Ice cream (quick, before it melts!)

-          Trips to Disney World! (such a classic…M-I-C-K-E-Y)

And, from the UA company take,  Summer 2011 scrub sales!

What do you love about summer?

National Ice Cream Month

. Randomness, UA Hot Topics

July is National Ice Cream Month, a more-than-appropriate name for the first full month of summer.  When you’re hot, you want to be cold, and there’s no better way to cool down in the hot sun than with some ice cream and glass of ice-cold water or milk (because you know that for some reason after you finish your ice cream you will be so incredibly thirsty…it happens every time).  Plus, July is perfect for celebrating National Ice Cream Month because it seems like almost everywhere on television, print ads, our memories…summer is coupled with an image of basking in the sun while scrambling to eat a double-scoop ice cream cone before the mountain of ice cream begins to melt down your hand and drip on your bare toes. (Summer flip flop tans? Got em. And for some reason it’s so hard to get rid of it.)

At UA, we took it upon ourselves to ask around the office and find out what everyone’s favorite ice cream is. After asking some of our fellow employees/ice cream fanatics, we realized there are too many good flavors out there to get a general consensus.  Here are a handful (by handful I mean list) of some favorites:

  • Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey
  • Häagen-Dazs Pineapple Coconut
  • Dark Chocolate
  • Dulce de Leche
  • Mint Chocolate Chip
  • Cake Batter
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
  • Cookies and Cream

We then asked “How would you describe the perfect ice cream sundae?” And here’s what some of us said:

  • Anything that has brownies mixed in it…
  • Classic Vanilla with Sprinkles or Fruit on top
  • Banana split with three different kinds of ice cream, hot fudge and a cherry on top

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Toppings? Are you the store-bought kind of person or the homemade type? (Me? Homemade strawberry ice cream—extra the strawberry chunks—please!)

Of course, we have to tie this post back into scrubs, so without further ado I leave you with this additional thought: Although lacking in tangible taste, we do have a huge selection of summer scrubs to fit your fashion tastes! Pick your flavor and order today :) .
