The ‘Hot Girl Walk’ is a TikTok trend that blew up amidst the COVID-19 pandemic to promote a daily mental health check-in with yourself while being active. There are no physical goals attached to this, only internal ones. The world of social media is ever-evolving, and in no time, there was a kid-friendly version of this called the ‘Sparkle Girl Walk’, which continues to rise in popularity.

However, the overarching messaging behind the trend and its counterparts is to focus on your mental health each day, which also stands for your children. How can parents help their little ones live their most fruitful lives without overwhelming them? The answer is simple, physical fitness and quality time.

Outside of traditional parenting methods, physical activity is proven to improve mental health. On average, children and teens who exercise more tend to have lower levels of depression and anxiety. When living in a time where children have access to social media, devices, and technology, family time outside became easier to achieve with Ookkie, the ultimate learner skateboard for kids.


Ookkie was created in 2016 by parents who are avid skateboarders and wanted to pass along this skill to their children. It has expanded past this to all parents who want to get their kids more involved with the great outdoors. In the age of electronics, getting outside seems to be more complex than ever. Children of this generation spend less time outside than any generation before. While riding along in the stroller might be mentally stimulating, the Ookkie has been created to add the physical element and be more engaging for your child. Engaging with kids helps them develop social skills, learn new physical tasks, and grow their imaginations to worlds beyond. It’s hard to find safe options for one to six-year-olds to be more active outside. Toys seem to be outgrown before you can blink, and most kids aren’t big enough for team sports quite yet. However, some solitary activities can still be enjoyed together; that is where skateboarding shines. A whole community is right under your children’s noses, and getting them started as early as possible will only be more fun for them as they get older.

Ookkie Was Created For Kids

Ookkie is a unique learning experience for your kids. It involves balance and focus while teaching children to be confident in their abilities. Ookkie is for every child and grows with them, making it more than a toy. It is a tool for them to learn and grow that equips them with the confidence they need to flourish.

Unique Design

Ookkie progresses with your child through its unique design. The adult handle lengthens so you can have control over the board. The ‘confidence handle’ adjusts to the child’s height, helping them stay steady on the board as they learn to get comfortable with their balance. The board is light and set on smooth rolling wheels to make it easier for kids while riding.

How Ookkie Grows

The adjustable handles on the Ookkie make it easier for parents and children to have stability. The goal is for kids to be able to ride on their own eventually, and Ookkie has the ideal system for this. The adult handle can be removed so that the confidence handle is still there to support your child, and when they’re ready, the confidence handle can also be removed to reveal a lightweight child’s board that they can continue to ride for years.

These stages also make it easier to fit into any vehicle to travel with the Ookkie. The board comes with an added safety feature, the emergency brake. Designed with a sphere on the lower half of the board, parents can push down on the handle to help stop the board. The Ookkie is safe and interactive and teaches your kids new skills.

With 5-star reviews across the board, here’s a preview of what customers have to say about the Ookkie:

"Makes our walks more fun and makes him feel so special."

We got the Ookkie for Haydn (2.5yrs old) to learn balance, and to bring some fun to our normal walks, so he felt like his siblings on their skateboards. Ookkie is fun for the whole family; each of his older siblings loves having their turn to push him on it; it makes our walks more fun and makes him feel so special!

The Ookkie is available to shop on Amazon and at Ookkie.com, where you can learn more about the brand that is revolutionizing family time and confidence in kids simultaneously.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
