#Selfie Day

We enjoyed taking selfies throughout the day while we socialized on the porch, participated in music therapy, pet therapy, and walking through our community.

Fun Facts About Selfies:

• The term “selfie” was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013.
• The “duck face” pose, where people pout their lips in selfies, gained popularity in the early 2010s.
• Women, on average, take 1.3 times more selfies than men.
• Selfie sticks were invented in 1938 by Hiroshi Ueda, a Japanese photographer, but gained widespread popularity in the 2010s.
• Disney banned selfie sticks at Disneyland in 2015 due to concerns about safety. The problem was that visitors were using selfie sticks even during rides, creating a hazard.
• The fear of taking selfies or seeing oneself in photographs is known as “selfie-phobia.”
