Daily Holidays - October 18

http://www.famousbirthdays.com/october18.html

National Chocolate Cupcake Day Cupcakes can be traced back to 1796 when there was a recipe notation of “a cake to be baked in small cups” written in American Cookery (by Amelia Simmons). The earliest known documentation of the term “cupcake” was in 1828 in “Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats” in Eliza Leslie’s Receipts cookbook.

National No Beard Day Whether you have had your beard for years or it is relatively new for you, this is the day to shave it off and go smooth. Perhaps your partner doesn’t like your beard or you just haven’t shaved it off for years. Today is the day to shave it and see what you look like without it.

When I was employed I kept myself shaved, but now I'll will let the stubble grow out two or three days. Unfortunately my hair is brown, while my beard is a mixture of black and gray as well as being sparse in many places so it never looks that good anyway.

I'll probably skip the chocolate cupcakes though.

So no thank you, I will not shave it off.

Is there a National Beard Day?
