On This Day: September 30th … The Final Strange Holiday
National Mud Pack Day
Hot Mulled Cider Day
National Love People Day
What a way to end this year long endeavor. A facial, a warm/hot cup of cider and giving people some love. Yes, this is the final installment to perhaps the strangest thing I have done. For those of you who are interested, I will put the link for this book at the final installment at the bottom of this post if you care to save it to your bookmarks for future reference regarding the holidays.
If you are wondering why I end it here … I started this October first of last year. So this journey has come to an end and I thank each person who has stopped by to read or just to leave an L & R. Roughly, over 5,000 likes, and reposts during this and an untold number of comments. This has been a grand adventure!
So here I go for the final time!
National Mud Pack Day
National Mud Pack Day is today. Slop on that mud facial. Ladies, this is your day. Guys, you can get a mud pack facial, too. Just don’t let your buddies know that you did.
Mud packs were once the rage for facial treatments. It is still popular. But the mud in facials has been replaced with a variety of other ingredients. It is supposed to keep the skin young, soft, and supple. Does it work? Girls who use it, swear by it.
A mud pack is a quick treatment for bee stings. Use it, if needed, when you are out on a hike, or until you can get to a place to be treated for bee and wasp stings.
Celebrate today with a mud pack. Guys, make this a special day by buying a gift certificate for a facial for your special lady. Make sure to tell her it’s not that she needs it. Rather, it’s because it is comforting, and will make her feel good.
“Beauty is not just physical. It’s about what you stand for
and how you live your life.”—Halle Berry
Hot Mulled Cider Day
Hot Mulled Cider Day warms our homes with the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple.
Fall welcomes toasty mugs of mulled cider to wrap our chilled hands around. Such a cozy way to spend an evening, sipping a tart, spiced beverage on a chilly evening while gazing at trees ablaze in crimson, gold, and orange. It is the perfect time to celebrate this holiday and enjoy this delightful drink.
Mulled cider is a traditional fall and winter drink made by heating cider to almost boiling and adding cinnamon, orange peel, nutmeg, cloves, and other spices and then simmering it. Just the scent of it steeping on the stove will warm the home and lift the spirits of everyone in it. It is also a remi9nder the holidays are upon us.
National Love People Day
Can’t we all just get along?
Love People Day asks us to lift others up through the profound power of unconditional love.
The human condition is a limiting and varying thing. How and when and where we get to use it is vaguely and oddly defined. What is certain is a rollercoaster-filled life of celebrations and trials. National Love People Day tasks us to understand that unconditional love requires a dedication most human beings aren’t given. But, when we wholeheartedly love our neighbors with steadfast devotion, the world is a better place. It is the practical application of “love your neighbor as yourself.”
The word “unconditional” on its own is quite profound. Look at its synonyms:
Wholehearted, unqualified, unreserved, unlimited, unrestricted, unmitigated, unquestioning, complete, total, entire, full, absolute, unequivocal.
Those words are dedicated, solid, and unwavering from their commitment to something.
There are no boundaries or limitations with the word “unconditional.”
Add the word love, and the power of the phrase multiplies. So, offer kindness and care to the people who are around you and to those who surround your life with goodness.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.—Henry Van Dyke
