Other holidays...

National No Beard Day
In preparation for the upcoming "Mo-vember" it is time to get the hairy (or not so hairy) ones involved.  The smoother the face, the bigger the celebration!

Have you forgotten what you look like with a clean face?  Would you be sleeping with a stranger if your mate shaved their face?  This is the time to find out!  

Whether the beard/mustache has lived with you for years or is just a friendly visitor, this is the day to say sayonara to those pesky whiskers.  

Beside with "Mo-vember" being just around the corner it won't be too long before they move back in.

To observe No Beard Day!!  Take before and after pics and share on social media!  #NationalNoBeardDay

BRA Day USA
(Third Wednesday in October)
BRA is an acronym for Breast Reconstruction Awareness.
Originally founded in Canada by a plastic surgeon, Dr. Mitchell Brown, in 2011; eventually expanded to the US in 2012. 

Every year Breast Cancer Awareness becomes a specific focus for those who are/have or know someone who has had to fight against the big C of breast cancer, but there is very little attention is given to shine lights on options after mastectomy or lumpectomy.
While reconstruction may not be something for every fighter/survivor of breast cancer, access to education should be available. 

If someone you know has survived breast cancer, but has made the sacrifice share your love with them today.

Hagfish Day
​(Third Wednesday in October)

Now if you are like me, the first thing I thought was...What the hell is a hagfish?
Well, I found out (feel free to read here).

The purpose of this day's observance is not just to celebrate a creature dubbed the 'ugliest of its species', but to encourage you to look beyond the exterior and appreciate how highly evolved they are.  (This could also be the wonderful opportunity for us each to look at someone/something/anything with a different light and appreciate them from a different view.)

Today, take a new look at yourself and post to social media your new view of yourself.

Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce
​(Third Wednesday in October)

"The Chamber of Commerce's primary objective is to strengthen local enterprises of all sizes and the best way to honor this organization is to use the services of local chamber businesses." - National Day Calendar

In 1911, President Taft presented Congress with the idea of an overall organization to address and represent the issues and concerns of US businesses.  The following year, 1912, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was formed.  (read details here)

To observe this holiday, volunteer for an event at your local chamber.  Share with us on social media.  #SupportYourLocalChamberOfCommerce

Medical Assistants Recognition Day
​(On Wednesday of Third Full Week in October)

Anyone who has been to the doctor, a clinic, a hospital, a hospice home or rehabilitation facility has seen the hardest working people in these buildings are the medical assistants.  These busy, flitting people are health professionals who are there to be support staff for the staff on duty.  Their duties are not limited to just clinical or administrative duties, but their roles are varied. Though this will depend on quite a few factors (i.e. facility size, certification requirements, the state and the laws affected by the work site.

Today take time to thank a medical assistant for their hard work and dedication!  Take a selfie with someone who fights for the health of others!  Share on social media.  #MedicalAssistantsRecognitionDay
