Nystagmus Awareness Day is celebrated every year on June 20. This is a time to discuss the issue of nystagmus, which affects millions of people worldwide and has no known permanent cure. However, with early diagnosis, some useful interventions can be applied to control it in the early stages. Therefore, it is important to use this day as an opportunity to spread awareness about this condition, especially among would-be parents.
Father’s Day
Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June every year. Where would we be without dads? Honestly, who would show off ‘dad jeans,’ tell the same somewhat amusing jokes at Thanksgiving, or spin those charming childhood stories? But of course, there’s far more to dads than their wardrobe choices and endless nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ (Elton John, David Bowie, and Queen — we get it). Still, dads are heroes. On June 16 be sure to let your dad know how much he means to you. If you want to treat your father to a little something special then check out our gift guide.

National Vanilla Milkshake Day
National Vanilla Milkshake Day is on June 20 and it’s all about celebrating the original vanilla milkshake. It’s made by blending milk, ice cream, and the vanilla flavoring for a classic style beverage. Vanilla is actually native to central Mexico and it’s the only fruit-bearing member of the orchid family. The first people that used the fruit of the Tlilxochitl vine were the ancient Totonac Indians of Mexico, but after the Aztecs defeated them, they no longer had sole ownership of the fruit.
