http://www.famousbirthdays.com/october18.htmlNational 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 Leslies 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 doesnt like your beard or you just havent shaved it off for years. Today is the day to shave it and see what you look like without it.

(112,433 posts)1. I bought razors yesterday!
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.
