Being A Better Human<\/h2>\n

As a chocoholic of epic proportions and lover of youthful hijinks, the Hallowe’en season is a favourite for me. After collecting costumes, planning pumpkin carving and eating fistfuls of tiny chocolate bars, could I get any happier?<\/p>\n

Research shows that when we spend on others, our own happiness increases.<\/a> We are social animals, and almost anything we do to improve the connections in our lives will increase our happiness. And so #RandomActsofCandy was born.<\/p>\n

A Random Act of Candy<\/h2>\n

In the early hours of this morning, Noomii.com co-founder, Stephan Wiedner<\/a> and his family were rousted by a ringing doorbell, pumpkin full of candy (and apples) and this over-caffeinated coach. Once they got past the initial alarm, there was delight, a proud display of costumes and ideas about how to perform another #RandomActofCandy, starting with a snoozing Grandma. I left Casa Wiedner with a big smile and a giggle at the noise I was leaving behind.<\/p>\n
