World Health Day World Health Day is celebrated every year on the founding day of the World Health Organization. Established in 1950 this event has a theme each year to draw attention to a current world health issue. The WHO puts together regional, local, and international events on this day related to that theme. Local governments also tend to jump on this band-wagon, after all, global health means everyone! On this day you may take some extra steps to care for your health, consider getting a gym membership (and going!), starting a diet, or starting multi-vitamins! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-health-day/International Beaver Day aims to celebrate and raise awareness of the plight of the rodent. Beavers are known for their tree-munching activities, but did you know that they use every bit of the tree that they fell? They eat the buds, bark and leaves, before gnawing the branches and trunk into smaller pieces to build with. The dams are useful in preventing floods and droughts, restoring the northern wetlands and helping to cleanse the water. The largest beaver-built dam is in Wood Buffalo National Park, Alberta, Canada and is 850m long! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/beaver-day/
No Housework Day is the one day a year you can just relax, forget those daily chores and do absolutely anything else instead. Its a chance to indulge yourself with no guilt, no stress and no dusting. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/no-housework-day/
Tell a Lie Day There are times in our life when we really wish that whole being honest thing wasnt so prevalent. Well, on Tell a Lie Day, you get a free pass! Dishonesty is an art form that is prevalent in every day of our lives, from the media selling us their version of events, to your kids telling you the dog broke the lamp. This is a day to let all of that have a pass. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tell-a-lie-day/
