National Chocolate Cupcake Day You know whats better than a cake? Chocolate cake. You know whats better than chocolate cake? A chocolate cupcake. Thats right, while we absolutely adore our cake, theres a certain tug of delightful selfishness in a cake you can consume all to yourself, letting you revel in a little piece of gluttony. Chocolate Cupcake Day reminds us that sometimes it is more than acceptable to have a piece of confectionary delight that we simply dont share with another, so find yourself a cupcake and make it disappear, just be sure its chocolate! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-cupcake-day/No Beard Day Theres been a strong movement lately to return to the days when beards were seen as a strong statement of masculinity. In a bold countermovement, No Beard Day comes along to convince men to take a razor to that magnificently furry face and return to a baby smooth complexion. While some of us feel this is nothing worse than purest heresy (unless we can convince those hipsters to shave), No Beard Day adherents feel a clean face is a lovely face. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/no-beard-day/

OP
Many of us grow a beard after a facial injury to conceal scars and disfigurement

(112,483 posts)1. I'm in for no beard day.
I never could grow a decent beard in the first place. Combine it with the fact that my hair is light brown, but my beard is salt-and-pepper so I don't want to look like a calico. That privilege is reserved for my cat.

a beard either. Just never felt right or looked right to me.

Then I found out I couldn't stand it. Never got past the itchy stage.
Now I go Miami Vice style mostly. Hardly ever shave, just clip it back with a hair clipper I own.

For most, a beard is a choice; for some, it's a necessity. I wish I could go clean-shaven or Miami Vice rough, but that's not an option for me.

I'm naturally ugly.

How else are you going to catch the cupcake crumbs?

A cupcake crumb is a terrible thing to waste.
