Whether in a committed relationship or blissfully single, the fulfilling the requirements of in this international observance is pretty easy.

July 6, 2016 is World Kiss Day. Of course a kiss is more than just a kiss when you put some thought into it.

Initially people gravitate toward the intimate act of locking lips for obvious reasons. Other endearing ways to describe this loving gesture could be carried in a pile of pecks, a satchel of smooches or a slew of smacks.

Whether brazen or undercover, may your kiss today fit its proper purpose. Even this note is sealed with proverbially puckered lips.
