We celebrate Pierce Your Ears Day on September 2 every year. This holiday spreads awareness about ear piercing, including the ritual and historical aspects of this body modification. It is one of the things practiced by people worldwide for various reasons. Some do it as a fashion statement; others do it to honor their ancestors. Many do it on a whim because it sounded like a clever idea at the time. Regardless of the motivation, ear piercing has been part of human history for a long time. People of different races, backgrounds, and genders have pierced their ears for millennia.
Falklands Day
Falklands Day is celebrated on August 14 every year to commemorate the first sighting of the Falkland Islands in 1592. It was John Davis who first caught sight of the islands during his voyage and ever since the holiday has been celebrated as a type of heritage day for the people living there. The Falkland Islands are situated off the coast of South America but have been under British sovereignty for a number of years now. It has had a tumultuous history, even in the 20th century. Falklands Day was removed from the calendar in 2002, replaced by Peat Cutting Day. This is on the first Monday in October.
National Face Mask Day
National Face Mask Day is annually celebrated on August 11. Founded by Lush Cosmetics, this holiday is a gentle reminder for us to reserve at least 15 to 20 minutes of our day to show some love to our skin.
So, if you’ve been unable to take care of your skin due to a busy schedule or other woes, this holiday will help you bring that glow to your skin — at least for a day.
